My apologies to those who have taken a great deal of time to load the photos in my blog :P I shall spare you the agony with this post :) I think i truly believe that picture speaks a thousands words, but too many pictures speaks to much :P
My days are mundane... Go school for consultation, then mug in library.. come back.. mug in study room. For a breather, i may come online to chat or watch bleach. Oh man this sucks... I wanna get out of this boarding school and see the world!!! I know my hopes for going overseas to study is in fact getting lower and lower since the first intake for the Australian Universities is in next year Feb. I dun want to start school so early cos I've decided to work as a Teacher Assistant in Chinese High (can't be bother typing the long form of HCI(HSS)) for about 5 months to gain work experience until the term for NUS starts at August.
I'm quite sure that I will stay in NUS already and I hope to pursue Medicine or Dentistry or Pharmacy. If I lack the luck and merit to be accepted into any of the course above... well, I may have other plans... which i have yet to plan! whatever..

Just now while i was digging for my N2004 Physics paper 3 from all the corners of my room (yes my room is in a mess now - terrible mess), the Verona reflection booklet caught my attention. (a compilation of reflections from the NJ Choristers who went for the Verona Choral competition in April this year) My first reaction to it was to open it and to read every single entry again.. and this gave me another form of understanding to the word reminiscence.
The booklet brought me back to the warmth I used to have from NJChoir. All the good time spent in Verona appeared vividly in front of my eyes. All the gelatos and pastas and singing and fellowship... they are so precious to me.
However, it is very sad, i realised ,only now, that things around me are moving so fast that you do not have time to allow my brain to reflect on events that i have been through in this past 2 years :( and in the course of that, I've lost the ability to treasure them and I have only regained it recently (because of study breaks). that's the not-so-good thing about living in Singapore. I thank God that I am aware of that and I will now take things slowly. The song "Ordinary people" by John Legend struck me a few days ago. (my roommate was playing it so many times that I fell in love with it!!!) The lyrics are so relevent to what I'm trying to say now.
Take it slow...
I hope to take things slowly from now on. I know it can be quite hard because I am so used to this fast-pace lifestyle but it is something that i want to learn.
I think I have grown the most, in terms of maturity, this year. Not that I'm boasting but there are so many things that have happened to me this year. Happy ones, not-so-happy ones. Life is not easy, but I know that God is making it fruitful for me :)
I know that this period is tough for me. 11 days to my first A level paper. Press on... :)
