Well i woke up this morning and my throat is killing me, i have a headache, and a runny nose that just don't seem to stop running!!! I hate being ill, but i guess i should feel lucky that for most part of this year i actually haven't fallen ill that many times. Fingers cross that stays the same way through next year aswell! Right now i feel quite sleepy but i'm still gonna make myself stay awake coz or else I'm just gonna end up sleeping all the way through until tonite and that is definitely not what i wanna be doing! Last nite I thought about how i'm gonna spend xmas and stuff and realise that i've not spent Xmas in England with my family for along time now and i really miss doing that. Xmas is a very special time for us in England and i miss that atmosphere that you would never find here in HK! Putting the xmas tree up in the house, decorating the living room, seeing the snow fall down from the lovely white sky and hearing people signing xmas carols in the street! I guess i'am homesick but then i have been for along time! Alot of what happens through xmas when i was in England have mostly changed though, most of my friends already have a family, or you just end up losing contact with them through many reasons! I remember back then we would have parties and play through the night with no sleep what so ever and just going crazy that the fact it was holidays and we would have no skool or work! Those times are past now, but very happy memories that i will keep for the rest of my life! Anyway as we approach another Xmas, i feel this year has flew by like the rest of them and soon it be another start to a new year 2007. looking back through this year, i feel i could have done much more to improve myself. I've had some happy times this year but also alot of unhappy ones, but i try to forget those and be positive about myself! I have alot of plans for 2007 and i hope that if i make 10 plans for myself, i really do hope i can atleast acheive or complete 7 or 8 of them. The most important 1 would be to do something that i have always wanted to do but have never got the chance to do it! I will push myself to do that and hopefully i can get a good outcome from it! Anyway 2006 there was 1 thing that i did that i really felt proud of myself and it's something i did for someone else rather than myself. At the beginning of the year I signed up with WorldVision and adopted a child. Her name is Mary, she lives in Malawi and all i have to do is give up 200 dollars amonth and through WorldVision she will get my money to help her education and living. I never thought about doing this before but when i did sign up i felt i was doind something that was good for myself and at the sametime i was able to help a little girl who is much much more poorer and unfortunate than i could ever be! Alot of people don't realise just how many little kids in these poor countries are dieing everyday because of no food, no clean water and no clothes to wear! Most of us live in a world that is very stable and the worst we experience doesn;t even come anywhere close to what those kids experience! What they suffer in a day, we probably wouldn't suffer during any part of our entire life! So for those of you who has never thought about adopting a child then why not start now, giving up 200 dollars amonth from eating out and shopping clothes you can actually help a child get Clean food, water, clothes and many other things that they can;t afford! I was so happy to receive my adopted childs letter last month, thanking me for my help and how she was very lucky to have someone who doesn't even know her that was willing to give her help! I just feel very happy that i can offer her alittle help though i wish i could do more for her!!!
