2006 New Year Resolution
hAppY nEw yEar!!~!~!~!
HaPpY 2006~!!!~!~!!
as if im counting down..haha
well, din go out on the new year eve
don wanna go to crowded places
lazy to drive
most of all, not allowed to go out
daddy said very dangerous wor
sigh…
anyway, i have planned my new year resolution
since im so FREE!!!
the list goes like this:
-lose 5 kg ( it may sound a lot to u. but i have put on weight for 2KG!!! since i came back to Malaysia. so, i need to get rid of the 2kg first, then the next 3 kg. so,3 kg is not so greedy after all rite? how come im having a feeling that im gonna fail…haha.. some of u might be doubting me also..haha..truly understandable..)
-get a HIGHER CAP for semester 2!! (getting such a LOW , i mean REAL LOW CAP for the 1st semester , had hit me really big… i don wanna graduate without Honours. my parents will kill me. i don wanna leave NUS without an Honours degree. i must have a CAP with at least 3.5 to do my 4th year …*fainting*)
-upgrade my dressing sense.(haha…being an arts student, i shall dress like one. if only…the 5 kg is GONE!! ish.. )
-save more and spend less. ( have been spending alot since back to Malaysia. although it is in ringgit malaysia. BUT….)
-start reading the newspaper. ( i really…desperately..need to increase my general knowledge. don forget, i wanna be intellectual. and STILL trying to be.)
- no more procrastination and laziness.
-have more confidence in myself.
-last but not the least, make this resolution work!!
if you were to have one as well, good luck!!
1)in my opinion, you should gain weight. no offense, cos i think you’re a little too thin.
but if you still wanna lose it, our PGP gym is really good.
2)of course.
3)i think you look ok in nice clothes, regardless of the 5kg.
4)urmm..
5)yes i need to read the news too! i haven’t been doing that ever since i came to NUS!
6)good goal.
7)good goal too.
8) all the best in all your goals!

Here’s a few books to start off your intellectual journey:
1. Animal Farm or/and 1984, by George Orwell
2. Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley
3. The Communist Manifesto, by Karl Marx
4. Some introductory text to Philosophy
All these are available in the CL. All Political Science students start off with 1984. Then go for the books on Politics / Economics available in the major bookshops, like Fareed Zakaria, Francis Fukuyama, Thomas Friedman, Joseph Stiglitz, etc. However avoid Marketing-advertising books.
If you like Philosophy better, then its really the branch you’re interested in. If you’re interested in existentialism (which is a loose collection of philosophers), then read up on people (as well as original books by) Nietszche, Kiekergaard, Heidegger, Sartre, etc. If you’re interested in contemporary philosophy, its people like Jurgen Habermas, Jacques Derrida, etc. etc.
