Yea. Dead blog. I know. Maybe i'll start again when i'm away from the comforts of my home. Or maybe i'll have the inspiration or motivation to type something every now and then. lol. For now, i have nothing much to say.
Well, i'll share a quote i just saw that i really like.
A ship in harbour is safe; but that's not why ships are built.
Go figure. And hope it helps you, to go on an adventure.
Exactly 1 week to A Levels results. No point getting sleepless nights over it i guess. What done is already done. Truthfully, i only feel nervous when i happen to think of it. Other than that, it is quite at the very back of my mind. Oh well, next week this time and i will know the mystery answer. I do hope that it is a pleasant one.
Oh, i watched Burlesque today. Christina is one hell of a good singer.

Just so i know.
When you are screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they've given up on you.
When you see yourself doing something badly and nobody's bothering to tell you anymore, that's a bad place to be. You may not want to hear it, but your critics are often the ones telling you they still love you and care about you, and want to make you better.
Read the above from "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch and this particular part struck a chord with me. It's true that only people who love you are willing to tell you things that you might not want to hear. Only they will not be afraid of hurting your feelings because they know that your improvement is more important in the end. They see the bigger picture. To such people in my life, i want to say a big THANK YOU.
Three weeks of college life have passed by. For those who don't already know, i am currently studying (yes, studying. how sad, i know) while waiting for A Level results and also uni application results. Basically my peers think that it is a stupid decision for me to be studying right now and if my credits cannot be transferred, i myself will come to regret this decision. But, since i already am doing this whether i like it or not, i have decided to like it and make the best out of it! One can complain or one can adapt. I choose to adapt.
Chinese New Year is around the corner. I wish i can split myself into two. To enjoy the company of my family and friends back home, but yet also not to miss out on all the reunion dinners with friends back in Singapore. I actually do miss Singapore, the people more than the place, and the freedom and convenience too. But still, there's no place like home, especially after four years away from it.
Brick walls are there not to keep us out. They are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Keep this in mind whenever you feel like giving up on anything.
