Good day to blog... ; 10:07 PM
Cause I am really unmotivated to study for Chinese at ALL!! So here I am blogging about my recent events that happened...
Promos were satisfying... Though many out there would agree that Bio was worse than expected... But well, I cant complain about the rest of my subjects... And the results of my friends has made me rethink a lot of things in life... But ah well, thats a story for another time...
Hard work cannot ensure you success at the end of the day anymore in today's context... Where Passing is not by the marks of your tests but by the As you get... (Ya, I know what you're thinking... Whatttttt~~? HAHA!!) And your peers aren't helping, by making life harder than it is as THEY excel too, which isn't a bad thing for them... But more for ourselves...
Of course, that doesn't mean we're not happy for them... Its great if our friends score well! :D
Yet, results aren't the main focus in our lives, isn't it?
The past year has been a lot more just studying and CCA-ing in a sense... Its been a time of interaction with people, knowing others better and for me, living out a Christian life in well, a medodist institution which ironically has a majority of non-chiristians in our midst.
What is YOUR life priority?Good question. What a good question to start asking ourselves just after the Promos... At the end of this whole year, I realised that I had more questions about my life and lifestyle, my character and personality then I had begin with when I first entered the gates of ACJC... Interesting, huh?
As I grow, I thought the more I'll find out who I really am... Now,
as I grow, I begin to ask more questions about it... Whatever the case though, I have a whole 2 months to think about it and get down to it...
J2 looks nice and tough... Better go out more often this hols!!
PS. Chinese Orchestra of ACJC is having a end-of-year concert called Spirito, and its held on the 22th of Nov! More details regarding it will be posted the next time :D
Packing.... ; 6:57 PM
The move to my new house is the main focus today...
No, I'm not actually moving today, but it was more the packing that sucked the life out of me... It has been a long and not really purposeful day, but I guess we all have days like that don't we?
I really wanna go out... :(
What a way to spend the day after Promos with Open house...
That kind of sums up the whole day I had yesterday. With performances coming one after another, the panic of the T-shirts for C, I would say that All the CCAs that was in open house (Especially the performing arts) didn't have an easy time. CO for one was mentally draining, with the running about I threw myself deep down the mental pit of fatigue. Though I can surely say that the dancers and the others in drama were definitely physically and mentally drained beyond my imagination.
And because of Open house, I finally got a bad sore thoart which is sightly healing after having the cough drop that the kind Dr Tan gave me today. Knowing that my exams are over, he also gave me a two-day MC and a week off MC for CCAs HAHA... Still pondering if I should go for CF and CO on friday and saturday respectively... Hmmmm, maybe I'll meet my friends out?
But today I finally have some time to spend with my mom after so long :). The promos has indeed taken up quite some family time, though I still talk to my parents, but now with it over, I can finally spend some quality time with my mom :D... Family always comes first in the area of human relationships, of course not forgetting that all in all, God takes first place...
Back to the open house!
It was indeed a thought-inspiring day~! For us CO members, we do know that our performance yesterday was below expectations, yet there are those out there who appreciate our music! Which was surprising to me :P, since I wasn't really happy with yesterday's performance :(... Though so, I must add that an orchestra with so many new members in it, I wasn't expecting too much and the standard we've achieved has not turned out quite bad :).. Keep on working!
As I was chatting with Esther after the Open House, Dancers had the same feeling... Well, almost... Instead of screw-ups, it was more of the sian feeling than anything esle... Yet I really enjoyed yesterday's performance (well, except for the part of guys going between other guys.. you know, HAHA)...
The forms of art are many, and to write about all of it in detail would take years, decades... Or will it ever be all compiled in one document? It is ever changing, and bringing new insights to our so very narrow minds (Ok, at least my very narrow mind HAHA). And it never fails to inspire. Well, for one, all that I've faced till now has left me standing or sitting watching in awe... But behind every performance, there's bound to be loads of hardwork placed into it, and for those who really appreciates art to a great extent, can tell..
Well, guess it goes to show that, hard work can be really appreciated... At least in the world of arts, I guess.. There comes in the element of talent, of atmosphere and of skill... But what pays off the most? Its the work put in...
Hmm, guess I've got alot of work in that area to catch up with :(...
Its been a long while since this space has been updated, really... :P Guess all my free time has been spent on reading online manga or watching videos, that has mainly been the way I've spent my Promos away :D
The promos wasn't as great as I thought it would be, I mean those papers that I thought were really scary weren't, and those which were supposed to be do-able... Lets just say it was above average...
In any case, my dream of doing a H3 for my J2 year has been temporarily placed to a side... Not really expecting much of the promos, but if God allows me, I would really love to take an external H3 :)... Who knows, I might even go to RJ next year on fridays :P...
I've been feeling rather detached from most of my friends recently, and for someone who believes that he cannot survive without friends in his life at all times... Has been a new experience.. Hmmm, how should I put it... Though sad that he cannot continue a long conversation with most of his old friends, he has been able to move on with things this way... Learning that from Lukas really helps alot, and life for me therefore hasn't really been that bad to me, since I would blame it all on myself if a friendship I had went on to become sour :P...
But I guess though I talk less to loads and loads of people nowadays, the face still remains. That they're place in my heart never really moves, as I still value my friends as much as I did before... Or who knows, even greater than before. I'm not saying that I would offer my life in exchange for one of my friends in a life-death situation... I might, but what I'm saying is, I'll always try to be there...
I havent really been the important friend in people's lives... No one really comes up to me when they're really down, or when they really need help... Maybe, I cant really help at all? Nah, on the contrary, I just think that I'm too insignificant for them to remember me when they actually need help... It isn't all that bad I guess...
It just makes me wonder to myself once in awhile...
Among my friends, who do I and who trusts me the most?
