A year is nearly gone. Yet another year is just about to start. My 2007 started with the quiet, dodgy celebration in Dublin. To quote N, "Bunga api sekecik kentuts. Aku kentut pun lagi kuat drpd tu." :)) And it's about to end with a scenic trip along southern France with friends and foe. hehh. Ohwell, eventhough it didn't start off well and probably not gonna end at its greatest moment, still, i had loads of fun throughout the year. 2007 was more like a learning platform for me.
I've learnt that....
.....it's not easy to be a young lady! It's not easy to be an adult. And it's definitely challenging to grow up. You make decisions everyday; be it BIG or SMALL. Some situations only affect yours truly but some affect you love ones, those around you and the community. It's not like how you did when you were small...mini minee maiteee moreee.....oozoooom.... hehh. It's requires you to sit down and properly think about it. Because at the end of the day, it's you who will have to take full responsibility of the consequences.When i was younger, whenever im faced with problems, i'll make nonsense wishes like a time machine or how you can erase others' memories or i wished i have a one way ticket to the farfaraway land *sigh* But now, i've realised that neither running away from it nor not acknowledging it won't solve the problem. Face it like a big gurl.
...money doesn't grow on trees! And how important it is to prioritizes the usage of the allowance given. All girls love shopping! No? I don't really have an answer to why i have to buy it but i just HAVE to ;) But during those terdesak moments, I managed to tame the wild shopaholic attitude in me. Paying the rent is definitely wayyy on top of the list. Followed by groceries. And those birthday celebrations. I guess the joy of giving outweighs the joy of receiving. I may be poorer by 10 pounds but at least, i made somebody happy today :)) Blissful!
...fake friends do exist within your circle of trust! Fake not because they pretend to be nice only when they're with you. Fake because they dumped you, they left you when they have their bfs. *sigh* Probably we've reached the age where bfs are wayyyy more important than gfs. But again, different people have different priority. Why ignore your bestie to become the loyal puppy of a guy you've just met for few months? Sickly in love, I guess!
...the age of a relationship/friendship means nothing! It's just a number.
...things do go wrong! It's ok to make mistakes as long as you learn your lesson well. I'm the type who plan ahead and when things don't go the way they "should be", I get disappointed. Demotivated. Frustrated. I blamed myself. I blamed others. But as time goes by, i learn to look at alternatives. Rather than complaining, bitching about the situation....try to look at it in different point of view. Sometimes it's not worth stressing out about something that is...simply not too major! hehh. When you loved yourself enough, you'll quit exhausting yourself by trying so hard to make things perfect.
...I do have issues with my "confidence"! I'm lack of it *sigh*
...you don't like everybody AND not everybody likes you. Harsh? Welcome to the real world, people. Some people spend their life time to proof to others how good they are and hide their weaknessess. Some people spend most of their time as follower just so that they belong to a group. Some people pretend that they are sooo cool, doing the "in" thing. Some tried to act like a Superman or Superwoman; trying to show that everything is under control even after being hit by tsunami. I find it tiring to act like one just to make everybody adores me. Cilok-ed from AA, "There's a point in your life when you get tired of chasing everyone and trying to fix everything. But it's not giving up. It's realizing that you don't need certain people, the crap and the drama they bring." BINGO.
