Year 2010 has been a really dramatic year for me. So many unhappy events have occurred, nonetheless, I have grown up in terms of mentality. Human can only be more mature whenever it comes to adversity. Well, I don't like to complain over how much shit I've gone through. Because it's just a part and parcel of life. I learnt, I cried, I laughed, I depressed, I smiled, I achieved. And at the end of the day, I am always grateful that I survived. I am no longer allowed to act impulsive and according to my very own way given my ever-increasing age. It's time for me to be more independent and be more committed to my family. In my family, I'm always the one who is receiving, and come to think of it, I don't really remember what I've really brought to them. As I grow older, I can't help but to realise the importance of family, they mean so much to me and I am always ready to give up my life for theirs. One thing I hate about growing up is to see my parents growing older. It just hurt so badly to see them changed so much physically. Not to mention their deterioration in health, and to accept the fact that death is getting nearer. I know I sound very pessimistic but no one should live in self denial. All in all, I hope that everything will be better in the coming year. No more natural disaster, no more heart-breaking news, no more environmental pollution, no more wars and in short, world peace.
