Ambitions for 2009: 9 Things I Want to Do || 20081231
Well, here's my new year resolution:
1) Get GPA of 4.0 (or 3.9+) for one semester.
Yes, I am rather serious about this one. I think I did better start setting targets for my academic results already, since things are going downhill...
2) Go for my gaming ambitions
Well, this point serves as a contradiction for the above one. LOL. However, I seriously (too) hope to do something in gaming. It is something I'm passionate about (for I have made up my mind I just can't get rid of that gaming habit; so I shall use it to my advantage instead). So be it going for competitions or doing workshops for gaming, I will do something in 2009 (while my fingers still permit me to type and game fast).
3) Go record my album
Another big ambition of mine. Well since I know people who can help me with recording an album, why not do it and not waste that network? I will do it in 2009 (while my voice and lungs still permit me to do it). For now, I have to start composing more songs; 2 songs ain't enough.
4) Give gifts to people during festives
I think it's time for me to start giving gifts to people for festives (e.g. Christmas). I haven't been doing so other than for birthdays. Giving is truly a gift to mankind...
5) Read books regularly again
I haven't been reading regularly for a long time (since I graduated from Secondary School).
6) Read the Bible more often
7) Start looking for University/planning for life after Polytechnic
I'm not joking too... I hope to become more serious and spend time more wisely (other than gaming. LOL)
8) Create a sharing/counselling forum
This will be fun. It will be much broader than the current failed Touching Lives forum which I will close down. I hope to include events, a radiocast (trying it out) and many more things in to the forum.
9) -Still in the midst of organising it in my mind-

Praises in 2008: 8 Good Things People Said About Me || 20081224
Alas, it's now left with 5 more days to the new year of 2009. I shall carry on the tradition that I started last year and count it down through blogging about things. Well, I decided to be a little thick skin this year by saying good about myself to end off this year. I haven't been doing very well this year and I hope that I can encourage myself by giving a little deposit to my self-esteem bank. So here it is (not in rank order):
1) BK always has a smile on his face; cheerful - Quoted from Mr Ram (MaxiCab driver)
Well, I couldn't believe it when he mentioned this to another driver. I really thought I had lost this a long while ago. I really wasn't as optimistic and cheerful as before, but yet people still see me still as cheerful.
2) BK's smile is so nice - Quoted from Janice (TEACH ME V/C)
Thank you for such a compliment. LOL. At least now I know that even though with an ugly face, I still have a wonderful smile to counterbalance.
3) BK's singing is quite good - Quoted from Raymond, SparkZ MG, Janice, YET
Well, I often don't like to sing to people I don't know as I really think my singing isn't good at all. Yet, I often want to compose songs (and write music). I guess I had a chance to showcase my own song during the TEACH ME Special Awards Day. It was wonderful, especially with Raymond's guitar. Thanks, Raymond. I guess even with my physical limitation of not having the lung capacity to project my voice and last long in singing, I'm still able to sing (as long as I know my limits).
4) BK has good musical feel - Quoted from Mr Philip (Philbeat Studios)
And, from my great SparkZ MG instructor (who knows all kinds of instruments and composes great music): he said that my music improvision is good as I can play my harmonica well along with the music on the spot (with only knowledge of the key; without scores). Thank you.
5) ... I shall continue on when I thought of more...

But That's Life || 20081210
Someone told me that the posts in my blog sounded happy in front and then sad at the back. I'm not sure about what the general readers feel though, but I guess, I feel so too. But I guess that's still life. Life is not as easy as walking through the park: you don't see events go past you, instead, you participate in it! It doesn't mean that when a day starts good, it ends good (BUT the opposite holds true).
Still, I'm hoping to not defeat the purpose (and even the title) of this blog. I still want to write that love story for thee, my life. I shall try to post light-hearted entries more (even though I'm quite lazy at blogging).
