//The new year question: How to start?//

For the past few days since 1st Jan, I've been searching through my mind.
Searching for new year resolutions I can make.
Sadly, I found none.

What do I hope to achieve this year?
I have no idea.
I think 'hope' is the best word to describe this especially if you know you wouldn't be able to accomplish the resolutions you made.
At the beginning of every year most people are fresh and invigorated, the stipulated public holidays undoubtedly playing a part.
More so, i believe, however, is due to the works of the mind.
A new year presents new hopes, new wishes, new challenges, as the cliche goes.
As I see bright and fresh faces around, I knew many are still holding on to the cliche mindset.
I was one of those last year, last last year, and many many years before.
This year, an entrance to the new year or new decade, however, has greatly diminished in its significance to me.
It's just another day when the clock struck twelve, a time that signals near bedtime.
Maybe, just for a second I feel blessed and grateful for my family and friends to enter the new year.
2011.
I can't help but feel it's just another number, another date.

All the hopes we have, the resolutions we set, january sets off positive thoughts in the mind, giving invisible strength to the minds of people, making them believe they can accomplish whatever they wished.

If that is so, then what is reality?
