Impressive 2010.

The first impressive thing i did in 2010.

Complain.

As my neighbours cheer in joy over dinner,

my family ate in silence.

A typical day for us.

Nearing 12am.

My neighbours are drinking, doing the count down.

My parents are sound asleep.

I am the only one awake.

Typical day.

12.30am.

something impressive happens.

It wasn't my neighbour nor his friends' out of tune singing cum shouting in the middle of the night, in the middle of the road, in the middle of the street.

But rather...

something i did.

without thinking.

I walked over, arms crossed, pressed the bell and said:

" eh, can u lower your volume, it's 12.30am already. my parents need to sleep. it's so late already, please keep quiet."

I didn't really listen to his mum and her apologies,

i just rambled on, cutting her short. (oops)

I forgot to say thank you.

I did not say goodbye.

i turned and walk off.

cool.

arms crossed.

i never knew i can be so cool.

i didn't expect my new year to kick off so impressively. (more so than the fireworks.)

I am so proud of myself.

I didn't know i can be so cool.

* pats myself on the back.

Good Job.

I wonder if this is a hint of what i should be expecting for 2010.

heh.

i hope not.

I don't think my heart can take it.

2010

It's 2010.

It feels so surreal.

As my neighbours start the countdown and celebrate the start of a new year.

I am in my room.

I think about new year resolutions,

whether i should set them or not.

I think about school.

I think about clinics.

I think about my life.

2009 passed by so quickly.

It scares me.

Things to be done, not yet done.

It seems like 2009 was just a week gone by.

I know my life is should be more than what it seems now.

But i'm just tied down with constraints so i can't fulfil them.

2010 is here.

Just 1.5 years more.

A tough 1.5 years more.

And 2011 will be here.

I say bye to uni life (expected exciting but in fact is extremely mundane),

and i shall say hi to my life.1.5 years more.

It's scary how time flies.

I am scared.

Really scared.
