明けましておめでとうございます！

Sound Familiar? Closing time song from the library. This is one of my favorite (or one that I hate the most?).

It's almost a closing time for 2006. Pondering my goods and bads,
-I started learning Japanese again in January and I'm glad I've improved a lot.
-I've met new good friends: Kousuke, Tetsuya, Miwa, Dai (all Japanese sensei); Ivan, Vic, Eric, Michelle (my suppermates) and of cos I put on weight a lot :(
-I've got more courage to be who I am (the best CCA time was in my Latin Dance classes)
-I've maintained good friendship with my old friends (I really miss Pat, Haga, Minjae, Yong Jun, Jongeun, Arthur, Vince)
-I've become more matured (I talked to someone back again. But, "forgive" and "forget" are different. But, Pat, don't worry about the anata problem. I'm totally fine.)
-I was still childish (I've seen the results of my instant unthought response to some problems.)
-I thought too much but expressed less(the time I spent thinking about it is sometimes more than my study time.)
-I understood the fickle world more (I really want to know who's added the words - promise, pledge, swear - to the dictionary.)
-I've improved my GPA. (hope to achieve the target before I graduate)
-My laptop gave me lots of problems. (more than 1 month)
-I was no longer (or have never been?) no 2.
-I did an internship but I spent a lot.
-Oh, I can drink more alcohol now haha...

What do I want to do in 2007?
-To improve my Japanese upto at least JLPT 2 by the end of 2007
-To reduce my waistline by at least 3" and 10 kg by the end of 2007 (1" by the end of Feb)
-To continue my Ballroom dance classes
-To practise singing more (if possible, take vocal classes)
-To be able to sing at least 7/8 Japanese songs well before heading to Japan
-To improve my Mandarin skills or to look like more Japanese (or less Chinese :p) otherwise I'll still be like a dumb when everyone I meet outside talks to me in Mandarin
-To be happy and healthy me!

I also wanna try to be someone who I am totally not. I know it's ridiculous but I really want to be. Now I'm 24 already. How long can I be like this? Anyway, I love my parents and have to think for them.
