And so we enter 2012.
I haven been back here for awhile it seems.
But had this urge to reflect on 2011, but I didn't want to publicize it on facebook.
Guess that's why I'm back here.
2011 seems to have not been a very great year, but I'm sure it's not the worst among my 21 years of existence.
Now looking forward to 2012, here are some of my thoughts I wanna pen down.
Main goal of 2012 will be to focus on school.
I really hope to maintain my gpa.
Kinda having some jitters about my upcoming semester already.
The modules seems tougher, textbooks looks unfriendlier.
Furthermore I am kinda worried I took on more than I could handle.
4.5 mods, OCSP, Gourmet SubComm and Diving EXCO...
In any case, let it be known!
Priority for me should always be Academic > Non- Acad!
As such, I guess diving will be taking a back seat now.
Since I started school, I've been less and less involved with cove..
I know I'm doing the right things, Sch > Cove always.
But I guess I still feel kinda sad about it?
Not that it's gonna matter much for next sem, since the Aur/Tioman season will not be open that early.
I guess my involvement in cove would be very much limited during sch sems.
I hope that I could use my holidays then to be more active in cove.
Guess that's something I should bring up at the next cove meeting.
Diving has been occupying a major part of my life the past 2 years, I hope this would continue in 2012.
I've made alot of friends and learnt alot from them, but somehow after the last trip, I kinda felt disillusioned about diving.
Somehow the passion to dive is slowly fading away.
Maybe it's because I've been diving in murky waters for awhile and have forgotten the grandeur of the underwater world at it's best.
Maybe it's time for a change...crystal clear waters perhaps?
Suddenly I recalled renggis..the crystal clear visibility of renggis.
By joining the diving EXCO, I will kinda revolve myself around diving in 2012, but the experience diving with SMUX is totally different.
With cove, I dive to teach, which is kinda fulfilling at times, but with more responsibilities.
With my personal group of friends, I really feel at ease and enjoy myself the most.
With SMUX, it feels somewhere in between. Maybe it's because I am still not close with them yet, or maybe because it's my instructor profile that made me feel like I have some kind of responsibility towards them..but hopefully that would change in 2012.
Like I always say, diving for me, it's part living standards, part diving but for the majority of it, the people that makes or break a trip.
For the record, I like hanging out with people much older than me..it somehow feels natural now.
In fact, hanging out with school mates..I sometimes feel...out of place. HAHAHAHA
That's all I guess.
In summary,
SCH > Everything else in 2012. =)
