The clock is ticking and every second it just gets closer to 12am.

Every year when it is this point of time in the year, I would always get a little excited because to me, this is the new year. As in, for those who have the same birthday as me would agree that today is the last day of our year and tomorrow marks a completely new year for us. The end of my 17th year on Earth, in this case.

In the previous year, my birthday was a day to be remembered because of my friends who made the effort to come to my house to celebrate with me as I couldn’t get out of the house. If they haven’t come, I would have spent it all alone at home, perhaps with my maid and my older brother? My parents weren’t even at home and even though it’s my birthday I guess they still felt that my safety is more important and did not agree to let me out without them at home.

Therefore, I hope that in this coming new year, my parents would trust me more. Trust that I’m able to take care of myself. Eighteen. I’m already near being an adult. Just three more years ain’t it? At this point of time, many things have changed for me and I would have already gained much trust in them. The only step left is for them to loosen those ropes. I seriously hope they can trust me. It sucks when people have no trust in you at all.

Also, with the A’s so near. I shall promise myself that in this new year, I would work extra hard to make sure I won’t cripple my own future. I won’t allow myself to waste these years that I’ve spent slogging in a Junior College. By hook or by crook, I’m going into a local university even if it means scrapping through.

Moreover, being 18 means a lot too. I’ll need to learn to take care of myself better and also others. I’ve always been so dependent on others, it’s time I do something for myself and also others.

To become a better person! (:

Lastly, I hope that there would be people who remember my birthday and wouldn’t mind to sacrifice a little of their time and celebrate this new year (in my case) with me.

CHEERS :D
