Week 1 of year 2013

Dear Charissa,
                   
                     Happy New Year!! How are you doing in UK hope you are doing alright,heard you took a holiday around Germany for before Christmas, and from all the post cards that we received it looks like you had fun and a great adventure.

                     Can you believe that the world did not end on the 21st of December 2012 as the Mayan calender predicted?They even made you tube videos about what they will do on their last day on earth.I was thinking about the many things that I did in the past,and what I am now doing and what I would like to do in the future.

                      I remember what we did during the holiday last year on Chinese New Year when the whole family, except you, went to Bali,Indonesia. Haha! it was such fun, I remember the hotel that we stayed in and the view of the beach from my room, it was so beautiful especially the sunrise and sunset.Everyday we would go out and do all the things that one should do and see in Bali.We tried their seafood and it was okay, it came up to 1 million rupiah, it was so amazing sitting under the stars while eating seafood and watching the the traditional dancers doing their performance on a stage facing the beach .We also hired a taxi driver to take us to see the rice terrace in Ubud it was so amazing to see how they built it to save space and plant more rice on the hill slopes.We also tried the water sports and it was an amazing and exhilarating experience riding the jet skis, banana boat and other rides. My brother and I enjoyed the water sports the most.Every day at breakfast we would discuss as a family what we would like to do or plan to do for the day.At the end of the day we would discuss we had done. 

                     This year is my last year in school,I will have to do well in my SPM to further my study's in A levels at HELP college.Talking about doing well my New Years resolution is completing all my home work and not playing any computer games or watching television shows. I know its going to be tough but I also know it will be worth all the hard work and sacrifice when I get into a good university like yourself .I have been planning to do at least one form 4 subject on the weekends to remember everything I have learnt and to get better at it.I think disciplining myself is tough,because I get easily distracted and my attention span is very short but when I get my SPM slip I want to see my results as all straight A+,and maybe my dad will finally be proud of my results.

                     In the future, If I do really well in my SPM I want to further my studies in HELP college and then the University of Exeter and do medicine and my second choice is chemical engineering.I really want to go overseas and study and maybe live there also.I hope I can achieve what I plan to do with my life.
