EPT2012 was a good year for me. I enjoyed 2012. In 2012 I learned to love and appreciate writing and reading. I'm awed at the idea that an individual can create a string of words that represents what he or she is thinking at the time of writing, and the that the words can communicate to somebody in the past, in the future, or in the present.
I've also learned that despite how xenophobic and violent humanity may seem at times, I must remember that we've been blessed with the gift of rationality and the ability to comprehend complex abstract concepts - and by using these gifts, we have been able to overcome our primitive roots and perhaps at some point in our existence each of us will achieve a state where will know what it means to be truly happy, to be happy without hurting or abusing other humans.
I'd like to talk about my favourite moment of 2012. It wasn't too long ago, just 2 weeks ago or so. It was the first day I landed in Gold Coast, Australia. I went there to get fat and visit my family. Anyway, the night I got there my cousins told me that there was a meteor shower going on. We went to the yard, taking a couple of chairs and packets of snacks, and sat under the starry sky. The three of us spent our time sharing slices of our worlds while looking out for passing meteors. If one of us failed to spot a meteor, it'd be too late to see it even if another pointed it out because they just pass so fast. It was the first time in my life that I'd seen a meteor shower.
2013
I'm worried about 2013. I'll be taking my O Levels this year and I feel that I am disgustingly unprepared for it. And yet, I'm excited about what's going to happen this year. I'd like to push myself to study harder and do better academically.
Another thing I'm aiming for in 2013 is to lose some weight. I'm moderately obese at the moment, and I'd like to change that. I'm not necessarily aiming to reach a certain weight, I just want to look manly if that makes sense and isn't too ridiculous. Something like Harvey Specter. He's such a bad-ass character.

I'm not going to try and think of too many things to aim for. I'd like to continue appreciating the small things in life.
I want to read. I want to learn. I want to expand my mind. I want to reason.
