Today is the last day of Year 2009 and it has been a long time since i post too. But after reading some of my friends blog, i thought that i would also like to write about year 2009.
I think year 2009 is a memorable year for most of us, because it is the year whereby we took a major exam. I think that this exam, although the studying periods had drained a lot of my energy, but it had also allowed me to learn many many things. For example, I was able to feel that my family cared for me. my sister's presence while studying together gave me moral support, my mother's encouragement would always comfort me and make me feel touched, and my father, although would not directly encourage me, but would always cook good food for me and also try his best to answer any questions that i ask him. my grandmother would also always call to ask me about my papers.
And I also understood how noble our teachers are, how they would always put in a lot of effort to teach us, so that we can get good results. it is always the teachers that give me the motivation to continue working hard. and also my friends, who experience the same things as me. while we often encourage each other to not give up, it actually helps me alot because i know that we are all working hard together.
So, i am really very grateful to everyone! thankyou for helping me to be able to take my o levels successfully. Although i thought that i had did better in prelim 2, but i had already done my best. So, to my friends, i feel that no matter what results we get, we shouldn't feel bad because we had did our best. but even if u feel u haven do your best yet, there is still jc/poly to continue to work hard!
And like what erlin wrote in her blog, studying took up much of year 2009. but i think it was the holidays that made 2009 ended in a more relaxed way! During the holidays, I went out with my friends, watch youtube videos and shows, go to my grandmother house more frequently, and i also volunteered in metropolitan YMCA! although i had went there for only a few times(one week once), but i thought that this experience is something very special. it is my first time volunteering, other than the CIP projects. Other than the elderly, i met some people which made me learn and know more things too. Like how the other volunteers are willing to volunteer to help the needy people even though they dont get paid for. I feel that volunteering can make you happy too. like what kelly said, we would feel satisfied while helping others. however, i think i am still unable to communicate with the elderly well. sometimes i dont know what to say to them. but i will try to improve!
once, while i was telling my father about my weakness, he told me that i shouldn't be saying such negative things. instead, we should give positive comments. like:" I will improve on (the weakness) by (doing something)". So, i thought that when we face any problems that we cant solve with our ability, maybe we can encourage ourselves that as long as we think of a solution, the problem will improve one day!
so, in a new year 2010, maybe we can set targets for ourselves. be it in our studies, in maintaining relationships, or in achieving our goals..., i believe that we will be able to be better in it as long as we try to improve it. but if we dont know how we can improve it, maybe we can look at others and then slowly learn to improve it. jiayou!
sometimes i also feel that i am not very good in maintaining relationships too and sometimes i dont know how communicate with people well, but I told myself that i cant run away from this weakness of mine. Instead, i must face it bravely, and work hard to improve on it.
So, lets work hard together ba!
OK, happy new year 2010 to everyone! i had already written down my new year wishes! :D
