New Year Resolution

I typed one whole chunk on MRT and I'm gonna continue now.

Since everyone is making new year resolutions,I shall make mine too. Today is the last day of 2012.

I always make very typical new year resolutions. Very typical like study hard and stop procrastinating but I kind of failed every year.

This year,I'm gonna make 2 simple ones.

1)少计较，少比较
Bear less grudges,compare lesser

While I was in Taiwan,my tour guide asked the tour group which 宗教 (religion) we cannot believe in. There were a lot of wild guesses and speculations. In the end,when the answers revealed, it was 计较 and 比较. I know some of you might be thinking what have this got to do with religion. Now,if you're Chinese,pronounce the words. I have no idea how to explain but this has something to do with the pronunciation of the words.

I find it quite true. We are often unhappy as we like to compare ourselves with other people. Let's take a fish and a bird for example. A fish can swim but a bird can't and vice versa. Okay maybe there are exceptions but I mean the majority.I'm no good at animals. Lol. What  I am trying to say is we all have different strengths and flaws,no point comparing.What you have,the other party might not have.

Other than this,we also like to compare in terms of material. Like what we often hear in real life,'' Aiyo I'm still using this lousy Nokia phone leh ( this is just an example,i like Nokia phones :) ) ,even primary school kids have iphone'' This reminds me of a quote the Emperor said in the show Scarlet Heart,'' Forget what you have lost and appreciate what you have.'' I'm actually quite guilty of this because I always take things for granted.

Bearing grudges. Major guilty of this. I am very 小气 (petty) and I get pissed off very easily.I find it hard to forgive and forget. But bearing grudges is very unhealthy for the mind and relationships with people and destroy friendships easily. So I will try my best to bear lesser grudges with people.

2)To treat others with sincerity and kindness

I realized ... it is quite a terrible feeling when others treat you in a hostile manner. And people as they grow older,shower you with fake words. Words that you want to hear to make yourself feel good. 以真诚对人，将心比心。

That's about it! Goodbye! Gonna meet Syafiqah tonight for countdown at Vivocity. ^_^
