In the car, do you remember, Butterfly? Early Summer? It's playing on repeat.
MY VALENTINE IS «♥» Sasagawa Ryohei
While it may still be Valentine's Day for most of you guys on my f-list, it's Total Defence Day in Singapore today. On February 15th 1942, the British surrendered Singapore to the Japanese (it was WW2, Singapore was a British colony, and the Japanese troops had invaded and effectively pushed back the forces that came to stop them). We have a concert on this day commemorating it. This year, it's my leadership group that is in charge of planning this event. I'm head of the programme committee, but I haven't been doing my job since... well, because of certain circumstances.
So I'm actually going to get off my ass and troop over to school to at least supervise the cast backstage. Hopefully everything goes as planned. Will also pick up the copies of my grades my mom arranged to have photocopied - they're for my admission forms. I hope none of my teachers harass me too much. I'm drained of fight so I guess I'm vulnerable right now. At least my voice came back, so I can voice protest when I have to.
Then later tonight, I have to attend a debate - it's round one of the nationals. I'm a reserve (again) and it's not an impromptu thing so I don't have to do anything but be there. I wonder how I'm gonna break it to the coach and the team that this might be the last competition I'll be under their banner...
These are things that have been causing me anxiety lately. I hope I manage to keep calm and rational through this. Patience is one of my best virtues, I think. Which reminds me - last night, I skimmed through my educational records and I realised that back in Assumption College (in the Philippines) I had special awards for patience and outstanding conduct. Also, even in first grade I was already barely passing Math. How can I be so stupid? >:
