One more week left, and I guess I'm finally feeling the stress. I thought there was still much time until I got reminded earlier and proven wrong.
Discouraged and disappointed.
That's what I have been feeling recently.
Somehow I really wish I was just a little brighter at chemistry. Haha. I guess some things never change. :D Reminds me of the 'good old days' when my chemistry was really hopeless.
Taken from a very old blogpost in sec4. Shown in the photo is my chemistry workbook. I really didn't know how to do. Really! :P

Three guys,
One cinema (a rather lao-pok one with a faulty sound-system),
and a cute movie like Wall-E.
That really made my day after our usual NLB hard-core mugging session. The movie really made my day. Wall-E is so so adorable and sweet. Kudos to Pixar to bringing life to otherwise mundane, lifeless objects. As much as I was dying to watch Star Wars Clone Wars, I really enjoyed it thoroughly.
Sometimes, humanity limits its ownself. We are our own barriers.

I have to admit that two years ago at this point of time I was more prepared and self-motivated. But I can safely say that the chionging feeling is coming back!
I really am thankful for the classmates I have been blessed with. Spending time mugging with you people like mad at the national library study lounge and starbucks have been a pleasure. Haha. 9am - 9pm today was simply madness. It was quite interesting today, when the whole table was filled with victorians - there are twevle seats per long table.
To be honest, many things are running through my mind and I'm very tired. Many, many things have changed in the past month. Both good and bad. I feel like an entirely different person, which I think might be good on a personal level. I guess circumstances change people.
Many times, looking for answers, just leads to the discovery of flaws. What are flaws anyway? Do flaws exist so there will never be a state of perfection, which keeps the pursuit of perfection running? Beats me.

I AM SO HAPPY. HAHA.
It's every photographer's dream to start somewhere. Today I checked my mail and found out that this editor mailed me through flickr asking for permission to use my photo for a salzburg guide that will be published amongst many other guides. A dream come true indeed. I hope they choose it after the final round of selection and editing.
Thank you God. :)

The olympic spirit displayed at its finest in VJ. I certainly will miss those times standing in the canteen watching phelp's races. I'm guilty of spending much time on the TV at home catching the olympics. I really enjoy watching sports a lot. It really makes me want to go out and do my jump events, play hockey and badminton like I used to do. At the end of the day, I really wonder how much sastisfaction do people derive from getting medals.
On the other hand, I was feeling rather discouraged about the way things were shaping out for my revivison. Then I decided to read the blog posts I blogged during these same period of time 2years ago. I was really encouraged by them. It's weird how what I blogged two years ago makes much sense to me now.
No mountain is too high to conquer.
I would like to wish everyone all the best in their revision. Don't stress out too much yeah. :)

One year ago, on this very day, we started hanging out. :D It all started when two people were bored and stuck at home on national day.
Good memories!
Cliche but yeah, Happy National Day. Haha.
I was quite sad about not being able to go school for national day celebrations though. Haha. But the fact that everybody including my whole class was ponning it made it inevitable.
I think I'm in a rather optimistic mood recently. Maybe it's just the way I view things. Finding the good out of everything.. Or maybe maybe. :D (I hope these happy feelings aren't short-lived which normally is the case.)

It's time I posted up some photos from my trusty compact camera that's always left in my bag.
It's really weird to see LT5 having no people. I will miss sleeping in LT5. :X kidding!
07S47 at breakwater! We ponned econs lecture and careers fair to celebrate Vanessa's birthday.
6 guys + 1 birthday girl.
This is home, truly.. :D
Wagyu DonThis is the most expensive meal chin hao, wayne and I have ever had in our lives at a coffeeshop. We discovered this shop selling premium jap food at marine terrace and the wagyu beef is really heavenly and the most tasty beef I've tasted in a long time. $9.80 for a bowl was a bit steep, even though it's very much cheaper than those in the restaurants. This shop was originally an award-winning restaurant that decided to move to the heartlands.

I really enjoyed my day in school today, despite having two tests in a day which is a rare occurence in VJ. I will not forget what happened in the toilet when samuel got really high. One word to describe it - VS. Haha. Yes, it really felt like the good old VS days. I can't wait for tomorrow. Playing floorball with S51 and S46 for PE. :D I really enjoy playing floorball without all the pressure and expectations etc.

worlds apart.1-2 months after it all happened, I still have little knowledge about what went wrong. Every sunday, I just can't help not giving repeated glances to the tier on my right. A part of me longs to join them, talk with them and everything else for the whole service. Those were and are still my leaders in my heart. I haven't been talking much with the others back at my previous church. I guess they probably think I do not bother anymore, but the truth is, I still do. It's just that I don't know what to say. I hope we all get to meet up soon and talk. I hope you all are doing fine spiritually.
God allowed it to happen for a reason, that's all I can say. Our convictions from a ministry that is no longer around will still continue to exist, deep within our hearts. By those convictions, we're still united.
Okay, serious things aside.
I think I'm getting used to the fact that prelims are a stone throw away and I'm quite dead. Floorball-withdrawl symptoms aren't rampant yet, surprisingly. Been hanging out with my class a lot lately to make up for my MIA-ness during my season. Everyone is so enthu about mugging now that I'm frightened. The past week I have been skipping many lectures just to catch up on my sleep in the library. Slept really late many nights. Opportunity costs. I'm still thinking whether I should go to school or just stay at home and study.
Whatever it is, I really do need to study hard.

I did a stupid thing today, and I'm regretting it now. Feeling the negative side-effects.
No, it won't happen again in future.
