2015 is a fresh start, as they always say. But is it? It's a switch of calendars, for sure, but do things really move on as we expect in the new year?

Answer is simple: no. New year presents us with an opportunity to recap on what has been 2014 and then set goals for 2015, perhaps to shunt mistakes or build on successes. So it isn't exactly what the title suggests - Genesis.

Still, as with most people we would set goals for ourselves, because a new year is a benchmark for us, it's a timeframe. So here are some things that I've set for myself this upcoming year.

1. Bulk up

Well. How do you attract girls with a bamboo-like body like mine, right? NS would obviously help me do most of that bulking up really. I wish I'd have broader shoulders, and generally gain more muscle mass. And a tat more tan.

And a bit more... bald. Fuck's sake.

2. Banter everyone

I want to make people around me happy. I've a family, friends, and I want to live my life more for them, put a smile on their faces more often by making jokes and doing stupid things. We derive most satisfaction from sharing, right? So I want to make you, maybe you're a stranger to me, to be bantered too by reading my blogposts. I don't know. Are you bantered?

3. Find the love of my life

BANTER.

4. Baking improvements

I've always been rather interested in baking, but never found the time to. Or frankly, I was rather lazy. But since the end of As, I've learnt to make cheesecake that is quite remarkable to myself. I've also made lava cakes that didn't really work, churros that tasted more like the puffs in cream puffs, and I want to learn more in 2015. Weekends from bookouts would probably be busy, with friends catching up and asking about life in NS, so hopefully with a bit of squeezing I can bake a little bit.

5. Bolder

As a person, I wish I'd be braver. To tell people things that I really want them to hear, and stop sugar-coating everything. To be bolder in making decisions, doing small things and taking initiatives. I've lost that part of me in JC, and I want to grab it back. I don't like being laid back any longer.

~THIS IS... THE PART WHEN I BREAK FREE... COS I CAN'T RESIST IT NO MORE.~

______________________________________________

I guess 2015 will be a year without much academics, something that makes me feel a little empty. Not having to learn via books and have examinations so often anymore kind of... feels weird. But hey, I guess I'd give it a shot.

Here's wishing you, whoever's reading, a jolly 2015, and may you not set goals too difficult to attain because you'll feel crushed. Trust me.
