21 Things before I turn 21
- Get my driver's license. I've been waiting more than a year! I have procrastinated enuf! I will pass that test of mine on May 19, 2006.
- I want to take drum lessons! So far, the only quote I've got is $120/ 45 minutes. *sigh* I don't know if I can handle that plus my driving lessons, plus my trip to Melbourne in June!
- Anyway, the trip to Melbourne will be first solo trip! *whee* It's scary, nerve-wrecking (where am I going to get the moolah to sponsor my entire month's living expenses?!) exhilarating & fantastic. Makes me happy just thinking about it. ;)
- Which means that mastering the art of money management is of key importance! For once, in a long while, I'd actually like to be making deposits into my bank account at the end of the month instead of making only withdrawals!
- Get a job at the Coffee Club in skool, if only to experince the working life and studying at the same time. Okie, plus the extra cash WILL come in handy... but really, if I can't work at Coffee Bean/Starbucks then at least a short stint at the uni's humble cafe... to fulfil my lifelong dream of being a barista of sorts, no matter how pseudo it may be. At least I'll learn to operate the espresso machine!
- Speaking of activities in uni, joining a women's soccer club would be great. Better still if Naidu can join me. I still remember those crazee days when we tried to test our psycho-motor skills on the field in TPJC... *sniggers* But I like it, anyway. I know that the probability of NTU having a women's soccer team is dubious, but I don't wanna substitute it for touch rugby-- it's just not the same.
- And I hope to actually run a marathon. And complete it. Of cos not competitively, but I think the sense of satisfaction would be undescribable, especially to a couch potato like me. *tears*
- Which probably means that I have to start an exercise regime. Nothing like a marathon dream to kick you off the sofa...
- But I won't forget Ern's advice. That is, get sleep. Enough sleep. Lack of sleep makes me emotional, cranky & honestly, quite dumb. Not the way I want to be when I turn 21 (reach adulthood)!
- Learn and master basic HTML. I own this blog... and yet I know nothing. *blushes* But hopefully CS 227 will change all that, the same way CS 226 conquered my fear (not lack of skills) as an IT illiterate.
- I also want to finally set up my own online shopping account instead of relying on others to keep buying stuff for me! *help* I don't know how to begin, but buy I will, shop I will! ;)
- And through it all, I want to keep walking with Him each & every single day. He's more than just my priority, He's the center of my life. (p.s. this is about the almighty dude, not the boy.)
- I want to take nude photos. I want to be able to look back 20 years down the road and smack myself for saying that all my hangups about my body, the way I look was just paranoia on my part. Youth is wasted on the young (as Robbie Williams so wisely said) and I hope to catch me in this moment in time so that I can look back and finally be grateful and contented with what I got.
- And hopefully, I will be able to own an art piece. *Trina*hint hint* ;)
- After all that I've been through this year, I have learnt that life is too short. I want to be able to let those who matter to me, know that they do. I want to love: dare to love and show my love.
- So for that, I hope that I'd get to see people who really matter to me, at least fortnightly! :) I guess it's time I take the initiative to be proactive about meeting up with dearies. I'll be damned if I just let the friendships fizzle out just like that.
- I will take my multi-vitamins faithfully - my body is a temple- health is wealth. that is so true just thinking about my A&E hopital bills and visits to the doc this year. :|
- As I look at the books left unread on my table, I say, I will catch up on my reading. Too many times I've forsaken the books for the Net. I will read Emma finish! And The Chronicles of Narnia again. It's been too long since I lost myself in a book. Too long.
- So for that, I will learn to take time out for myself more often.
- Brush up on my Mandarin. I just tried to write an entry in my diary in Mandarin... that took me an hour. Hopefully the proficiency level will go up... and the time needed to compose something decent... down.
- I will go back to the pool as soon as possible, and train with Uncle Jeffery again. too long since I went back to just chill and hang out like I used to as a kid. I may be older, but he's still d original Mister Hulk to me.
