With school coming to a close, I feel a certain kind of sadness,
and a certain kind of joy.
I entered Raffles insanely excited by the prospect of a new life,
to suffering from a culture shock for a little while (expectations vs reality),
to reveling in every single moment.
It was an entirely different experience from secondary school,
although it was thoroughly gratifying as well.
Raffles is so diverse and the people are so interesting.
(Though I must admit I have seen a fair share of weirdos)
(In fact I was stunned by how...different people could be)
It's kind of regretful, because I never got to know some people.
Some people you sort of know, but never got to become very close to.
Basically, your fun friends/hi-bye friends
They make you laugh, you're happy to see each other
and you can half-jokingly insult each other,
but you're just not close enough to meet up.
These are the people that you lose contact with,
and that's really the saddest part of it all.
Everything's going to change, once we graduate.
Or maybe things are already changing,
I can already feel the ground shifting beneath my weight.
I will probably get over these feelings of melancholy in a matter of months, weeks, or days.
And that's just the sad truth.

I've had to make a conscious effort to be happy some time ago
Most people probably think I am happy all the time, or something.
But I am actually an insanely individual sometimes...
And I stop talking because I'm afraid I'll say something I'll regret.
All is well though
So I went for Bi-cultural China last week or was it last last week-I've lost all sense of time,
and it was about how your thoughts influence the world.
It was kind of amazing, even though Brander Na was snoring away,
and Caryl was zoning out out (I think it's because their Chinese is very lousy hahaha I kid)
But I was never been so awake during Bicultural China
I mean, we've always subconsciously known that thinking positive things about the world,
and of other people, and most importantly ourselves effects positive changes.
But this guy, Professor Masaru Emoto, did 10000000 experiments with water (it's probably not that much of an exaggeration) and he realized that water responds to what we say.
They freeze the water a -25 degrees, and observe the droplets under the microscope.
This one is when you stick a paper saying "I hate you, I want to kill you" on it before freezing it
And this one is when you say "I love you" to the water
What we don't realize is, that humans are made up of 75% water.
So the thoughts in our head, change us, and it's reflected in our faces.
It's true, I realize.
Haven't you seen someone, whose face is not exactly striking,
but somehow she's beautiful because of who she is inside?
BOOYA!
So be careful of what you put in your head :-)
Have a good day!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I may have figured out what I want to study in University.
I realize I should started thinking the various career paths to take before I even started JC.
(No, I do not want to study Law or Medicine, unlike most other RJC students)
This road would have been so much easier had I been an Arts student, or even a Hybrid student.
Because at the very least, I have an interest in Arts.
My rationale for taking the dreadful combination- Biology/Chemistry/Math/Economics was that it would keep my options open.
But studying Biology and Chemistry has only led me to the conclusion that...
MAN I NEVER EVER WANT TO TOUCH ANYTHING SCIENCE RELATED AGAIN, LET ALONE EMBARK ON A CAREER THAT REQUIRES ANY SCIENCE AT ALL.
I should have read the signs, I never did well in Science from the start.
Even back in primary school, when science was about photosynthesis and large intestines,
I failed to grasp those concepts.
I quote my older brother, "If there was a science question about why the puddle of water disappeared after 3 hours, Dionne would probably say the dog trotted over and drank the water."
Three weeks from prelims, I am still thinking "WHY AM I STUDYING BIO"
But it's too late for regrets now.
Hopefully I can just scrape through and still get what I want

完美的异类混在人群中
...
我看到的风景跟你看到的一样美丽吗？
我听到的乐音跟你听到的一样悦耳吗？
我闻到的香味跟你闻到的一样芳香吗？
以前以为所有人跟我一样，
现在才明白，原来每个人都不一样。
