A year has passed since '08; and I've basically ignored my duties and wasted they year 2009. Although during the last quarter of 2009; I've been reminded and learned from much support from my family in Jakarta and Singapore. Especially towards my eldest and youngest uncles and their families; all of my aunts in Jakarta&Singapore; and to my brothers/cousins (they're brothers in my heart).
If I expressed two most important things that I've learned in words, they would be Berjuanglah (Venture and work hard at life&studies) and be more socialis.
Although there are many-many other things that I should improve on (and keep consistent) such as laundry, organization, hygiene.
The last piece of wisdom I would like to describe to myself is that from a good family friend of mine. Ardilles: "Just do what you know what to do, what you like to do, and most importantly what you can do."
Although I am now a mediocre writer; I do enjoy doing it. I feel it's okay to be mediocre if it is what I could do. Even if the predicted pay out of my job field after I study communications is a bit low; and although right now I might not fit perfectly into the role of a socialist; I am going to take the step in and venture my life in this interest; since I am not particularly pursuing the position of a socialist, but the position of a journalist, media critic, tech enthusiast, and a soul which admires art(specific taste).
I clearly made this decision final today. I will pursue my Associate of Arts with the hope to transfer into the University of Washington. Where which I would pursue a Bachelor in communication. And eventually search for a career from, with the option of taking a graphic design or IT certificate.
My language of choice is Chinese (mandarin); but am also interested in french and german.
I Richie resolute on the day before 2010 that this 2010 I will become a better man. With a mind placed against evil deeds that I once frequent, clearer soul that sins less, clearer minds that sets a goal in life, a working body which earns some moolah and a soul that seeks a higher payout and a better job with an academic mind and goal.
Make me a usable seed in the soil of earth to grow in our society a greener tomorrow and if only, a son with happier parents and satisfied greater family.
Btw. Please make me a better Christian that seeks the lord always.
Dear Lord please help me in this life. and hold this resolute firm.
I wish to become a better man for you as well as my parents.
(sealed)
RICHIE LIE
