decisions, decisions.

Life is supposed to be exciting and full of colours, especially since exams are over and formal lessons end tomorrow. The time period set aside for "mourning" over our results should also be long over. However, life seems to be abnormally routine. Since the completion of WR, OP has been the dominating factor in everyone's life. Yea, PW is important, i know. It's a grade on our A Level cert. It is one of the many As we are expected to achieve along our academic journey. This leads me to my newest dilema, should i take up the offer of doing a H3? And if i do, should it be Bio or Lit? For others, the choice might be simple. For me, i am taking everything into consideration. The question i should ask myself is "How much am i willing to give up? How hard am i willing to work?" I wonder if next year would be a repeat of this year, where i knowingly pile up too many responsibilities on myself again. I hope not. But then again, that is who i am.

On a brighter note, i'm looking forward to the long weekend=) cooking experiment 2, here i come! Lol!

Ramblings.

One year in Hwa Chong is almost coming to an end. With memories of orientation (oh! how i miss them) still vivid in my mind, i feel that this year is passing by extremely fast, so fast that my memories of the year seem all jumbled up. No doubt this year was a hectic year. And for the first time since coming to Singapore, i finally felt the stress that everyone was talking about. This year, i seem to have loss touch with who i really am deep inside. For the first time in a very long while, my confidence in myself wavered. I doubted myself in areas which the old me would have breezed through without a worry or a second thought. Yet, i believe that this is just a phase that will no doubt pass. To my friends who encourage me throughout(you know who you are): Thanks for sincerely believing in me even when i myself am in doubt! This year, lady luck seem to have forgotten about about me. Though i am not superstitious by nature, this year has really made me think twice about fate, about life. But, what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. Setbacks which i struggled through this year no doubt made me grew into a better individual. I know next year will be a tougher year which will zoom pass even faster. Bring it on!

take charge.

temptations

I have a confession to make. I caved in to temptations and bought Archer's Paths of Glory.Over the past four months, there has been a dearth of opportunities to read storybooks and i am making up for it now. After four months of reading only for academic purposes, i'm willingly burying myself! In storybooks that is. Lol. I miss this luxury so so much!! Can you tell that i am happy?=) No doubt it will be short-lived, but for now, i am contented to read till i go blind (not literally of course) or till i feel like puking at the sight of storybooks.

On a side note, 周杰伦新专辑几时出？I need a new favourite song.

priceless

The feeling of receiveing an unexpected sms from an old friend whom you have not heard from in a very long time - priceless.

You feel a sense of joy, happy that he/she remembers you and that he/she took the trouble to keep in touch. It might be something one takes for granted, but to me, it never fails to put a smile on my face.

fear.

I'm feeling scared.
What if my best wasn't good enough?
Afraid.
I don't want to be a disappointment.
Deep breath.
You chose this.
It's your choice.
I am not supposed to not meet expectations.
Live through it with courage.
Live through it with your head held high.

Playtime is over.
I want an A for PW on my A Level result slip!

change.

My sabbaticals have been changed from windsurfing to flower arrangement!? and wakeboarding to balloon sculpting!? They are so not me! Things that i wouldn't choose in a million years! ARGHH!!!!!! Sense my disappointment! I wanna cry!!! What could have been and what is now, polar opposites of one another! Stupid leg!! 6 months of anticipation ended up in smokes because of you!

Kbox with my roommates today is something i would cherish. 3 different nationalities yet we can sing different songs and get high together. Awesome!
I wished you didn't made me believe before, so that i wouldn't mind now.
Singapore flyer tonight was nice too=) Pictures (of the very pretty night scenery) will be up when i feel like it=p

Letters from the heart

Dear brain,
I'm sure you will be glad to hear that i've finally decided to listen to you. Looks like windsurfing and wakeboarding just isn't meant for me this year. If i had it my way, i would have just went ahead. But since everyone that is important to me (my parents, my brother, my best friend and even practically every other person i can think of!) are on your side, you have the upper hand this time. I give in!

Dear right foot,
Because of you, i have to be contented with staying in a boring classroom for 2 days instead of being out in the sun and on the water, doing what i would obviously prefer. I'm disappointed in you. I believed that you would have recovered by now but you let me down. Still, i sincerely hope that you will get well soon because i really need you.

Dear stomach,
Stop craving for home-cooked food!

Lunch with Soap was fun=) We should so totally do that more often!

Happy Mid Autumn Festival!

声声祝福请微风替我传送，

缕缕关怀托流水替我给予，

虽然忙忙碌碌无法常相聚，
但却时时刻刻把你们惦记。

中秋节快乐！

examinations.

It's that time of the year again. Studying for exams is a bore, but it is a phase most students have to go through. Recently, I've lost count of the invites I’ve turned down to study outside together. The last time being that crazy night at the airport. Lol. I want to study outside with my friends! It makes me happy and makes studying less of a chore and more enjoyable. However, with my condition now and whenever the thought of having to hobble out of the boarding school creeps into my mind, all of a sudden the prospects of studying outside isn't that tempting anymore. Sorry guys! I swear we will have a blast after promos when my leg fully recovers and i can jump around like a monkey again! I've been in a dilemma! But i guess for now, i just have to be contented with studying alone in the boarding school. 8 more days to liberation!
