2017

It has been centuries since i last wrote a blog post.
Well, strike it off, not only just blog posts but just literally anything that involves the workings of the modern mind and the intricacies of literature. National service has been a real pain in the ass and I'm really glad, or so to say, relieved that it is about to come to a temporal hiatus (that is if you factor in the indefatigable cycles of reservice) *glares despondently at a distance*
2016 has been a rather stagnant year for me i guess?
Given that the only major event that has been revolving consistently around me is the Singapore Armed Forces, oh wow what a surprise...
Considering that, i feel that messed up a couple of things real bad in 2016...
Like the SAF Driving Test and erm, well my friendships?
Haven't been really keeping track of the progress of my so called "social life", sometimes i wonder if i even qualify as a social being.
These circles of friends are seemingly growing more and more distant. It's like a labyrinth, spiralling away the monumental pact that you've met since the first time friendship bonds were forged. Just that this maze lingers away whatever pittance you have that is left.
I worry for my future, my career prospects and my university course.
Let's just say that the A levels didn't do me justice. It wasn't a complete disaster but it did set me off quite a bit.
Supposedly i am to read up frequently on current affairs and be familiar with the mechanics of social interactions interweaving between politics and society and economics to be well prepped for the 3 years of pursuing my bachelors, but procrastination sticks.
ok so its time for me to announce my new year resolution(s) for 2017, here it goes.

1. Get my driving license.

This would be the top of the list for not only myself but i believe many of individuals in my cluster of friends and age group. Well, it is not uncommon for the majority of teenagers all over the world to want this. Like a rite of passage, i guess it is essential and very salient even in this age (what with auto-driven cars and cutting edge tech to implement these cars for Uber and Grab). A common zeitgeist encompassing the millennials i suppose, too.
And also to have an asset to transcend transport woes.

2. Prioritize my fitness regime

Ok, this would be the main theme for many of the locals here, its a common trend i believe. Weight issues have been plaguing me since the start of puberty and i have been neglecting this. It has been a complete fiasco with just all the empty talk and no actions taken. It's time to get commited.

3. Sort out my friendships

Time to take more initiative and not neglect my friends and loved ones. Be punctual for meetups and not be a douche :P

4. Consider my desired uni course

To seriously sit down and plan my future and invest time to consider my ambitions, passion and drive. Its a large faculty and i need to organise my thoughts on what to embark on. (expectations vs reality) (financial gains vs satisfaction and prospectus of mood)

So, let's hope 2017 will be an enriching one.
Hope it doesn't disappoint like how 2016 does with Trump, Brexit, ISIS and death of many celebrities, and i still desire for world peace (even though its practically impossible).

CIAO.
