I’ve been thinking last night. It’s time to make a final decision on where I stand at this moment of time. Remember last year I wrote a post about what I would like to achieve in “2 Years Time?” It’s just been over 8 months since I wrote that post and have I changed? Are my thoughts any different? Well here is a brief look into what I wrote last time:
“I know that after graduating life becomes much more important and our minds are focused on our careers. I won’t find the time to do the things I would like, and since I have this time at this moment I shouldn’t waste it at all! Time is important to us we all know, it’s just how we use it. Within my two years these are the things I would like to achieve and aim for:
- I want to improve my speaking in Cantonese and mandarin language, and importantly writing
- Definitely obtain my driving license and owning a car because I’ve been making excuses long enough
- Train hard physically and retain the body I once had in 2010, losing excess fat in the body and face
- Change my attitude for the better good in society
- Try my best to treat and reduce the acne on my face
- Grow back my hair long so I can look like Aaron Kwok (郭富城) in the early 90s haha
- Go soul searching for my other half and marry her one day
- Chant more daimoku and support others
I don’t mind sharing my thoughts with you all, these are my 8 aims I MUST achieve. No excuses, time is running out. It seems far away but mentally picturing myself that moment after graduation without achieving any of these just destroys me inside. It’s easy to write my aims but to commit to the action, well that’s the other part I need to do. It’s not gonna be easy but I can’t give up. I want people in 2 years time to see a difference in not just my appearance but my character as well”.
The answer is yes I have changed prematurely. Besides my looks I feel within these 8 months I have been and learnt new things that I would have never thought of. Initially “What My Plan Was“ to going a path I knew I would accelerate in, but after a long wake up call I’ve realised I would be better off going on my old path. After graduating I don’t know where I head next since I now I have a year worth of practical accounting experience it has opened a few more doors for me, which this leaves me ??? in my head. Why? I don’t whether should I carry on further studying for masters or gain a professional accountancy qualification or go straight into the world of work or work abroad if an opportunity arises? It’s like a tree diagram in my mind and either way will still lead to success but I need to choose wisely. Also in my head I have already made the decision to give up on one thing I really desired in this life and it was her. It’s finally sunk in and there’s no reason for me to persist on. I can blame myself for not trying hard enough but it’s the right time for a brutal wake up call. It’s not about being worth it or not, my chase for you Nicky ends here.
I have finally decided what will happen with my love life. I have given up on someone who I thought I could spend my life with. Within these 495 days remaining I will try search for my other half preferably outside of university but my expectations wouldn’t be at the university because what I’ve seen they are not at my standard I’m sorry neither the mainlanders or even gwai muis will interest me. They may attract me for that moment but being interested in someone is a completely different story. As I’ve said at the very beginning I am traditional and I stick with my Chinese girls.
On the other hand, if I do not find the right person within these 495 days I don’t mind (well I do) living my life on my own. At least my older brother will carry on the bloodline ha! I know I am selfish and stubborn but finding someone who is truly compatible is difficult, and with my standards and character I will need to find someone like Bulma ha! I’m not saying with the girl I was chasing didn’t work out right, our relationship was too digital and nothing was real about it. She’s better off with someone else who can make her happy. As long as she’s happy, I’m happy too.
In terms of my music and what I have left, well I have already mentioned I have been planning another project which I did initially said I would build it around the girl I was chasing, and that project is still a thumbs up. Although I will not feel the same about her like before I can still produce some magic and create a mixtape which is based on fictional events. I’ve even planned ahead for my final mixtape which could be entitled as “Reflections Of My Life”, and this project will be my last but a very special one. But that’s a spoiler I can only offer 😉 I want this year to be my year where I achieve the things I really desire in life!
Here’s my redefined goals for these 495 days:
- Improve my Cantonese and Mandarin language, and importantly writing ✓
- In the process of obtain my driving license and driving soon ✓
- Train hard physically and improve my cardio so I can surpass my 2010 image ✓
- Polish my character so I can be a better person ✓
- Try my best to treat and reduce the acne on my face ✓
- Go soul searching and once I find her, I won’t lose her ✓
- Chant more daimoku and support others ✖
- Would like to learn to cook ✖
Friendship
As time passes I’ve realised the people who was once close has “disappeared” in my life. I won’t use the word “walked” out of my life rather the reason for this is I feel each stage of my life I had a friend who I really could talk to and no matter how long we haven’t seen each other we still could talk for ages. Like during my primary school days I had a few best friends but since we split up to different high schools we never had been in contact and nothing was left. It would be great if we had a primary school reunion but those sweet memories are over. During high school one of my best friend was there still but just after a year I had to move somewhere else and my whole life changed after that. Attending this new high school I met a great deal of enemies and friends and there I built great friendships with individuals and we were besties. Moving on to college he dropped out in the first year and we didn’t talk as much as we did. During this period I met another friend which soon became my best friend who lasted the longest up until the end of my second year at university before he decided to drop out which was shocking for me. I mean a few friends from the same college went to the same university as me but we wasn’t that close but there were a few convos made. Up until today I did have many best friends and some I have completely lost contact, some I don’t know what to say and some they don’t reply assuming they’ve changed numbers or they’re ignoring me. See that’s the beauty of life. Through the past 10 years of my life I have made many best friends but at the end of the day it’s not the same anymore and I feel lonely. Yes there are days where my “normal” friends at university or work colleagues will talk and have a laugh but it’s not the same with a best friend because the honest talks we had was real. No homo lol but you know what I mean. From high school until now I do have a good friend and that’s the girl I was chasing, Nicky. To me she’s more than a friend and I really hope I don’t lose her in the near future. So that conclude it about my life with friendship. Life goes on and we meet different people at different stages in our lives, but can there be one friend who can stick by you for so many years and not lose contact at all? It’s a shame that’s not me.
