I welcome 2013 with 2 friends and more strangers in a full-house bar in Sanlitun, Beijing. To be exact, when people was like "Happy New Year!!!", I was washing my hand in the toilet. Haha... It took me 5 minutes to get back to my seats before finally, I can toast for the new year.
Best is that I drank too much and vomited twice, an hour after the new year just started. Something huh? It's called letting go the bad =P
I wish this year will be good and It can only be Better, if not Best!!!
"2013!!!! CAN YOU HEAR ME??? I NEED YOU TO BE GOOD TO ME! I NEED YOU TO BE BETTER! AND YOU HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE!!! DO YOU GET IT?!"
I hope 2013 has heard it! :)
Anyway, no matter how much I wish that life will have a good turn out this year, still it's in our power to get it realized!
As the saying goes "Do your best and Let God (if exists) take care of the rest."
Looking back at my first post last year, the goal set was very very amibiguous! There is no wonder I have achieved nothing particular that closed to my plan, because I just didnt have one (or... I should say I HAD one, somewhere in my little brain, and as usual, my memory failed me.)
Anyway, let's be detailed this year... I would like to get everything back in the right track!
1. Travelling: As always, it has always come first. This is important as it's what make me whom I am now. I like to see new places and I want to do it regularly for many many years to come. As long as I am still breathing, I will make my way to visit many many places in this world! I wanna see them for myself! At least, I need to make 2 trips this year. One definitely with my parents (hopefully Japan in April, if it's not too late to plan when I am back to Medan), and another one yet to confirm!
To be honest, I am actually wishing to have 3 trips this year, however, trying to be logical here, considering my 'unemployment'. Haha...
2. Reading and Writing: I NEED to read at least 8 new books by end of this year. Why do I lessen the target this year, because I was hoping to have more time with my loved ones since I am back in town. :)
As for writing, I am ashamed that I only had 13 posts published last year, some even are not a real write up. Anyway, whatever done is finished. I should still encourage myself, as I actually had written some poems that are not published. This year, I started a personal journal, it's in progress. It's a present to someone. No fancy sentences, just a compilation what I called LIFE! I name it: "Trail of Existence." Other write up, will work on at least 24 posts by end of the year, two monthly. I'll hate myself if I can even do that. Fighting!!!
3. Exercising: Just wanna be realistic now. For the past few years have always been targeting on losing weight, which had never come to reality. This year, I wanna phrase it differently, exercising. Since there is a swimming pool in the complex where I live, I will need to be strict with myself. At least twice weekly, I need to dragged myself out of my bed early. I really don't plan to go back to "office kind of work" (Plan may change, as it had always had), then what I have is Time and Time, thus I really need to be determined on this! Come on, Linda!
4. Teaching: By April, I hope I can start teaching. This time, I would like to really weigh all the possibilities and opportunites, and do not just jump to what come first. I really love kids and I am somehow feel education is important, thus teaching kids are my very first priority. I hope things work out well. I sincerely hope so. However, I have another wish, I wish I can do something part time that allow me to interact with college students. I hope there is opportunity.
5. Business Opportunity: My parents are moving to Medan very soon. As much as I wish they can enjoy their retirment age, I would like them to be busy with something. A total doing-nothing kind of idea is just a no-no in my personal opinion. Thus... I should start considering any posibilities where we can start a new 'family' business in Medan, with my parents and my sis. At least, I should start thinking about this! When I was young, I think I am born as a business woman, you know? :p In primary school, I had already started selling things at school to classmates and other kids from neighbor classes. Haha... That was something. Then, when I get older, I kinda starting to doubt my own skill. It's time to find it back!
6. More time with Family: Family comes first! Always keep that in mind. Also, I would like to spend more time with my niece, Felisha. Just feeling like to do it. I think it will be helpful to my sis as well and it's good for that little girl and myself! I really love her and I would do anything, hoping she can become someone, if not to anyone, just to her parents will do. I think I just have extra energy to do this, so I am gonna do it! :)
7. Parents' Blessing: I can't realize this myself. I need my partner to do it with me and all the best to us!
There are a lot to do! I need to focus! I am determined! I am all for it!
I am ready to get things back to the right track! Start with doing well for my Final Exam next week :) All the best!
All are Good, Better and Best in 2013!
With Lots of Love and High Spirit,
Lin ^ ^
