How time flies! Today’s already the last second day of 2011, and in no time, we will welcome the arrival of a brand new year – 2012!
It was almost like last week that I stepped into the working society and began my first full-time job. I could also vividly recall the time when I was called up for national service at the tender age of 18. Now, I’m pretty much twice that age. Suffice to say, doubling my current age would probably see me into the last lap of my entire life. For now, I shan’t go that far though, because nobody, except God, knows what tomorrow will bring.
The first quarter of 2011 witnessed my intention to purchase a real estate unit of my own, upon reaching the legal age of 35 on the 2nd of March. So there I was, embarking on the journey that would result in an acquisition of a valuable asset. How wrong was I, as the dream of living by myself was smashed by the irresponsible owners of a 5-room HDB flat located close to Pioneer MRT station. I gave up looking for another one. Those close to me would know what eventually happened. Nope, I’m not going to repeat the story again.
The second quarter went well though, as I completed the final paper of my diploma course, and graduated with pretty decent grades. It was indeed a sign of relief, as the 18-month course came to a complete closure.
The second half of 2011 was really the peak of my life, as I got myself a new automobile, and legally became the owner of the current HDB flat that I’m staying in. Both events were smooth-sailing, and I’m glad there wasn’t any hiccup.
Looking into 2012, I don’t really have much hopes or dreams, except to probably learn to be a better person. Why? Well, I guess I’ve a lot that I need to change for the better, and perhaps not stressing myself too much too. I can be really tensed and take things too seriously at times you know? Hahaha…!
Anyhow, I still hope that 2012 will be a good year for me, and I’ll do my best to spend the coming year wisely.
