Living life to the fullest..

It has been more than 10 days since the new yr begins n I have yet to done any reflections on the past year -- 2006.
To me, 2006 has been a very rocky year.. full of uncertainties and expectations. The 1st 6mths was mainly working, meeting up w old frens occasionally, applying to uni. I feel that personally, I did not plan well and read up thoroughly on all the scholarship applications to the various institutions as well as on all the courses that are available. I was very depressed after the a level results and just drown myself w frequent shopping trips hoping to provide the endorphins that I much needed. Deep inside me, I knew that all was over for medicine and did not bother to consider other choices. As I passed my days, I feel like an empty shell, someone with a body but without a soul and an aim. After much avoidance and battling within me, I decided to turn to God. Loss at what he has planned for me, I feel that my life was at a cross junction even until now- there is this constant dilemma on whether acct or med is for me. It had been a hard time for me as I pulled thru my 1st uni exam, not knowing exactly what my hard work will translate to. In the past, I work hard is for the dream that one day I will become a dermatologist. Yet then, when studyin for the uni acct exam, it is merely blindly studying for the hope that I could find a reason to what I have studied. I truly found great difficulty convincing myself durin those suffering days
. Whatever it is, I thank God that I pulled thru 1st sem...This year, I feel that I should get out o my laid back approach. I will start to be more pro active. My new year resolution this year is to:
1. gain muscles and keep fit. I finally broke out o my period of hibernation and started my 1st run on the night o 1st day o sch!! Tho it wasnt really a v long run, it was a gd start and I will cont to peservere on.
2. maintain my grades and seek out actively for any opportunities to study on beauty and skin. Personally speaking, I have no idea whether the desire in me for medicine is tt strong anymore. Perhaps, it is the consecutive blows that I have received from the rejection in applications that led me to stop raising hopes in it- the higher the hopes, the greater the fall and disappointment. Yet the passion for beauty and skin will not die. Deep in me, I know that the study on skin and bringing out the clean and trouble-free face bring me great satisfaction. I know that is the only job which I will truly enjoy even durin hard times. Acct is not a subj which I entirely detest. I know that there is a possibility for me to succeed and do well in it.. earning BIG bucks, living lavishly etc, the study o acct will most likely be purely for the money sake. Studying and working will most prob be mainly for the vision o comfort living. Actually maintainin my grades is to provide a choice for my pursuit o post grad med as it requires v gd undergraduate results. Alternatively, if I eventually choose to stay on in acct, I hope to work in Banks and aim to get ACCA, Masters in acct, CPA eventually.
What ever it is, 2007 will be a year when I will seized every opportunities. No procrastinating! Trust in the Lord and I must cont to work hard ..
