Dear Orange,
BOXING DAY's over!! I am officially EIGHTEEN now! HAHA. It feels good to be just turning 18, when many of friends are going to be 19 very soon:D
Hahah, the reason why i am here after almost a month of missing in action is that my mum wants me to write an "essay" about the wonderful day i spent with my family on 26dec-.- I thought might as well give updates on what has been in for me recently:)

Was really really bz these few weeks with work, with meeting people, with outings, with a lot of talking. Hhaha.This 1month was brief, yet meaningful. I havent got to do my voluntary work yet, but my job has allowed me to meet and interact with people from all walks of life. I learnt alot from my leaders, especially the sheer perserverance that my mentor had in her:)

Hahah. Do you know that there is no such thing as a "problem" because there's always a SOLUTION to everything in life. Nothing is impossible, yea. Iv learnt how to face up to life and not to run away or emo whenever something crops up. To succeed in life, we have to accept all challenges that comes in our way. We need to learn how to love rejections, love criticisms, because only through all these we will grow stronger n mature n change for the better.
Other than interacting with others, we humans actually spend most of the time talking to ourselves. Therefore, the ultimate battle in life that determines whether one succeed or fail is between us and ourself. Positive thinking and a strong mindset will overcome the weak emotional voice inside everyone of us.

How much do we really understand about ourselves? Do you know what is your fullest potential like? Can you name all your strengths?

I really hope that in the 18th year of my life, i can discover more about myself and then fully utilise my strengths and weaknesses to live life to the maximum!
I hope that i can learn to love and appreciate the people around me more.I need to learn independence and to be less selfish or self centred.

Hmm..so overall, character development is my key birthday and new year resolution for this year.
