Striking off days from the calendar.
Getting nervous as more crosses approach the big 'A's.
Funny how coincidences all lump up into one, expecting poor souls caught in these coincidences to succumb to the pressure of it all.
But I'm not gonna be one of them. Think short term, achieve long-term goals.
Finish exams, clean room, find job, relax.
2 years of madness.
Ending soon.
Thank God for the relentless faith. =)
p.s. Happy belated 17th birthday Fairul (aka Mr Bean)!! Happy Birthday 18th birthday Evonne!! (Sorry I couldn't be there in person today) =D

It's been raining 3 days in a row, I've been walking from town to town, literally.
Many cringe when they think of the distance.
But it's a matter of perspective.
Sometimes I'd like to think that if I have that much determination to walk from home to school and back, which seems like many many kilometres away, I'll have enough grit to undergo the gruelling exams.
It's all about choice.
We're nearing the finishing line. Keep persevering!

I'm declaring this month to be the most hectic- mentally and emotionally. Not only are plans being scheduled meticulously, but have to be followed strictly. October--- O levels for sis, chiong period for me, NS for bro, final year exams for the other sis. The big picture is kinda overwhelming, but from the looks of it, it's the end result that's motivating me so far. I am excited but scared, cos nothing's sure for now.
And I'm doing all that I can- hopeful and all. At least there are crazy people to keep me sane. =) Waiting to feel the liberation..
Till then, all J2s study hard, believe in yourself, and miracles will happen. All the best~
p.s. considering to be animal rights activist...and some other career options...

Yoohoo~ Just stopping by... with prelims now over, uncertainty is looming. But, in the mean time, I'll just be perservering through this. The last stretch will make or break. So, will end off with this (and I'm hoping not to come here again after everything's done). =)When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.- Author unknown

calm
Haven't updated for quite some time...here's to say that I'll be away till A levels end? So before I go 'missing' for a good 3 months in LJ, just wanna share some stuff that happened in the 2 weeks...
--Pandemic
It took a week for almost the whole household to suffer from gastric flu. Started out with my eldest sis, and it spread day by day. The only ones who emerged unscathed from this horrible disease of vomitting and diarrhoea were my two brothers and I. Smell of vomit is eww...but the cleaning up after people part is more unpleasant.
--Meet-up
Saw a couple of secondary school friends after what seems like a long long time. Got to catch up with each others' lives, which was cool. =) Bumped into an old friend that I haven't seen for a more than a year...and she said that I looked haggard but fit. Hmm...a fitting description.
--Goodbye Speeches
The whole week before study leave, the teachers gave us advice and parting words. Friday seemed kinda sad cos everything we did could be the last. No more formal lessons, PE with the class etc. CT cried as she said her speech. I never thought she would really cry for my class, but I was touched all the same by the things she said.
Other stuff that I did was: fast, eating chocolate straight from the nutella bottle (which was soo divine), seeing a monkey at the park connector (which wasn't normal), and unsurprisingly, mugging.
So that's about it! =)
To all the J1s and J2s I know...
All the best for Promos and Prelims/ A Levels respectively!
