I just realised that it’s been exceptionally long since I last updated……. time really flies by without us realising sometimes….
What happened since I don’t remember when?
I got my car! YAY!
I moved! YAY!
I got a little more used to my job! YAY!
I guess that’s why I haven’t been writing much lately…..
I will post something up whenever I’m depressed. But lately, I’m a lot more contented with life. I feel comfortable. I’ve got practically everything that I wanted.
There was this list of goals in my room. There’s 6 goals in it. It’s suppose to be a secret but since Jian Lun already read it when he helped me move house, I guess it’s not much of a secret anymore. So these 6 goals are:
- Be a great driver
- Get a great job
- Be more updated in recent events
- Be fluent in Japanese
- Get a nice home
- Lose weight
Of course the first thing Jian Lun asked me was, “yipin, can you speak japanese?” and my reply was, “erm, maybe, a little bit, I can read a bit” then he said “OMG, then you’ll never lose weight….cause that’s number 6…..” my face was -________-”
The thing is, when I was writing my goals, I didn’t really number them in priority….. But my point of bringing up that list is because out of 6 things inside, I have 2 already….and I’m still working on the others. I used to think it’s really impossible to achieve my goals, but now, it’s actually quite reachable. Which is why I’m feeling so contented. I used to think that everything is so difficult and impossible and all the negative things always crawl in my head and I’ll get myself into this depressed state.
Perhaps this change was brought about by Giri’s mom, she’s always very encouraging. I love talking to her. It may also be because I actually like my current job, eventhough it’s got nothing to do with my degree and it’s not a very glamourous job ( I work in a factory). It may also be because I finally have a place to call home. But I think it’s all 3, the 3 most important factors in life. Getting a nice home, a great job and a supporting family( eventhough it’s not my family).
I turned 23 recently, but everyone keep saying I act like I’m 43…some even said 53..
Maybe it’s true, sometimes I feel very old, like I’ve gone through a war and a few centuries worth of life experiences, its difficult to imagine this is just the first 2 decades of my life.
The key to true happiness is making the best out of everything that you have, if not, how can you be happier with more?
