HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

It's the first day of the new year. 2011 passed so fast I hardly realised anything.

I had experienced a lot in 2011. The happy, the sad, the achievements, the disappointments. If I had to be really honest, it was not one of my most happy years, though there were happy moments too. But the most important take away is the learning and the experience I gained from it. As every year passes, I get older and hopefully more mature. I gained knowledge, but knowledge alone is not everything, as I once thought it was. I feel like I have become emotionally stronger to a certain extent. Or perhaps that is a bad thing, because it also implies being more oblivious to things. Jaded. On being more social, I feel I have made slight improvements. At least I am able to talk to people I don't know. But it is still a work in progress, will constantly work on it.

Time flies. In about a month or so, it would be the first anniversary of this blog, and I would become yet another year older. Things are just happening at an alarming rate. Where will I be 5 years from now? is the question I frequently think of. Looking back, I'm not sure that this blog actually fulfilled the purpose that it set out to achieve. It has however, morphed constantly with me, and taken the form it has today. I guess it is in it's own way a small reflection of myself, a constantly evolving ever changing morphling that seeks to improve itself.

But hey, let's forget about the past. Let's move on to more interesting things. The future! I still have a whole year ahead of me. And many more to come, assuming the world doesn't end. lol.

A couple of weeks ago, I finished watching the whole Kim Possible series again. It was prompted by the airing of the Kim Possible movie on Channel 5 on deepavali a few months back. The reason I posted about Kim Possible in the previous post is because it is somewhat relevant in a sense to what I'm talking about now. You see, as I was watching the shows, I had an epiphany. And I had to write it down, in case I forgot it. Like that guy:



LOL!! Funny + Epicness.


Jokes aside, I seriously realised I need to start doing something. I cannot rest on my lazy bum anymore. I need to actively start doing something for myself.

"I want to chase my own happiness." 

I guess it is sort of my new year's resolution? It is kind of profound in some sense. I mean, the sentence is composed of simple easy-to-understand words, but contains deep meanings. So, I feel like I should break it apart and explain each part, before contextualising and elaborating on the full thing.

"I want" - meaning I absolutely must. It is not "I wish" or "I may".

"to chase" - means to actively and competitively take actions. Not passively sit and wait.

"my own" - what matters to me, and not simply copying anyone else.

"happiness" - everyone's definition of happiness is somewhat unique. Be it wealth, health, a happy family with wife and kids, or a brighter future. Everyone has their dreams of happiness, and that includes me.


Now to explain. Why Kim Possible? In the last few episodes, as well as over the course of the whole series, I realised one important thing. Or rather I was reminded of an important fact. Anything in the world is possible, as long as you put your mind to it. If you want something desperately enough, things will work out your way. It is partly inspired by 'Ron Stoppable' from the show. Yeah I know, learning from a cartoon is funny right? But sometimes things happen, and it just clicks.

So that's my new year resolution. What's you new year resolution? Or do you have worries and concerns about the year ahead? You know that you can always share it with me. I provide a pretty decent listening ear, as my friends can attest. Anyway, I look forward to spending the year with all of my precious friends as well as you readers. I'm proud to say that [Incomplete Perfexion] will brave on into 2012! Thank you all for the support!!



Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year,
