Re-Solutions and Horrorscope

So here I find myself raring to go in 2005. Somehow or rather, I've got a sneaky feeling that this year may not turn out well for me again. Life never fails to disappoint, does it? Perhaps, just perhaps, my life will start proper once 2006 beckons but thats another 365 days to go. Coincidentally, I get to convert back into a civillian too when that happens but to be exact, I've got roughly about 504 days of my life to waste away in the useless military but who's counting anyway? A brand new fresh start as they say for this brand new year. It is during this period of time when most people start to put their lives into perspective. Having witnessed and experienced all that our life brought to us the year before, this is the time for us to put things correct again and not let history repeat itself. Which is why I guess people have a habit of making resolutions in the new year.

However, new year resolutions are not something that I'm exactly very keen on. Mine have always been broken year after year without fail. And when the year is about to come to an end, I'll begin to regret all that I've set out but fail to do. To put things simply this year and to be kind to myself, I shall not make any resolutions but just hope to live life happily no matter how it may turn out to be.

Another aspect which people will definitely look at every new year would be their respective outlook for their horoscope. Regardless of the different references available, they provide a detailed summary of what to expect, avoid etc. All in all, it just eases our mind and calm our heart when it comes to expecting the unexpected, especially in a new year. No matter what horoscope you belong, there's bound to be something really good to look forward to in the year, which is why I find some horoscope predictions pretty ridiculous. This is one for Gemini which I read from 8 Days not too long ago...

Gemini
Your romantic stars are in top form until October. As the year progresses, your social life begins to connect up with your work - could it be that romance is brewing on the professional front? It is certainly indicated that personal relationships will be a critical factor in the success of developments at work. Like the grain of sand in the oyster that produces the pearl, so does friction have its own creative potential as love blossoms in unexpected areas.

I was amazed and stunned upon reading that. Well for starters, I'm a full-time national serviceman for god's sake. If what they say is accurate, I'm either turning into a really obnoxious homosexual or I'm about to fall for the aunty serving me food at the cookhouse. I really don't think I'll fall in love with my commanders even if I'm a desperate case. With most of them being regulars, they are the last thing that I'll ever want to get close to. Hmm... very worrying indeed. This may explain my bad luck with the opposite sex all this while. Unless I ever get a miraculous change of occupation this year (which is highly unlikely) or a gorgeous lady signs on for the military (which is quite impossible too) and get posted to my camp, I really hope that was a wrong call.
