1st day of 2009, just as many people need to get used to the way of writing the dates, it would be the appropraite time to look to the year ahead. Actually wanted to look back at the past year but then thought I should not look back at past mistakes that cannot be undone, defeats, conflicts and victories. So here my targets for 2009:
StudiesSeems like I have finally entered into the final year of my studying life. Since thats the case, I need to end off with a BANG! Intend put in more effort for my studies so that I can be the best student that I can possibly be. Hope to be more discipline in my studies and place more focus on it. This would help me get a better GPA. Yup.
FamilyReally learned alot about my family members through my dad's operation. For example, learned that my sister is more filial and loves my family dad, despite the hurtful past much much more than I thought . despite the hurtful past Here are some areas I am working on:
1) Build stronger bonds with my family
By being more patient with my family members and taking the extra effort by listening to them talk and talking to them. Perhaps should start by making more effort to visit my grandma more often.
2) To bear a better testimony at home
Through excellence in the things that I'm entrusted to do at home and good results in my studies.
3) Take up greater responsibility in my family
Can start by making an effort to do more housework
4) Salvation for my family
Hope that this year, I can help them to know God more and bring salvation to them!
SpirituallyWell, hope that this year would be another spiritual breakthrough year. Few weeks ago, I was asking myself why while most of my friends are occupied with things like managing their trading account or trying to secure a job in big firms, I spend most of my time sowing into the lives of my cell group members which are mainly teenagers from secondary school. Well, I concluded that the reason why thats the case is that there must be something that God needs me to learn that I haven't learn in the things I'm doing. So I should be faithful by focusing on the things that God placed in my life. Which is exactly my spritual target this year, to be of greater obedience to God and learn things God wants me to learn so that I am better equip to fulfill my purpose.
Relationship with FriendsAs mentioned in my previous entry, I am really blessed to have great friends around me. This year, hope that I can be a better friend to my friends. Throughout the year, I might have neglected some friends through the deadly combination of busi-ness and lazi-ness. Really feel bad about that. So this year I will aspire to be a better friend to you. Haiz last year of school for me already. Hope that the good friends that found from my school life, would be able to stand firm through the test of time, business, distance and distractions.
These are mainly the targets and ambitions I have for the coming year. Despite all the bad reports that 2009 will shape up to be, I'm sure that 2009 would prove to be the best year yet for me! And it will be the same for you too :)
