yes tmr after lessons, i will be leaving almost immediately to go for the NUS Amazing Race! how cool is that huh! (: i am actually excited you knows! cos it's really like the TAR on tv, with Detours, Yield, Roadblocks and stuff! and we have no handphones, no money, no maps nothing. but although i'm excited, i'm a little scared too :/ the scary thing is that i don't get to come home, and whereever the pit-stop is for that day, we just sleep there! YEAH LA ACTUALLY IT IS DAMN COOL :D:D i hope we don't get eliminated before the final day! i don't even expect to get first la, like look at the number of teams? :/ it's for the fun, but i still don't want to get eliminated so early on! -prays hard!
i'll be racing with MelNg, Andre & Mark! we're called 3+1. don't even need to guess who the one is -________- Andre thought of it. hey! I AM THE ONE! hey see, it's a compliment :D think i'm gonna have lots of fun!
although i won't be able to get any work done for the weekend oh noooooo ><
ytd i left school only at 8.20pm! no it is not crazy! it is fun! (: i stayed back with YL, HY, Yinwei, Jac! okay actly before that Jac had chorale prac, then she came to join our talk-cock session. really lor.. none of us felt like going home yesterday. there was no one left in the canteen, so it was all quiet and peaceful. like the whole school is ours! it's like that in the mornings too, as early as like 630am. nowadays, cos of Rui, i have to go to school at 630. that's freaking early! i will meanwhile try to brainstorm another alternative that doesn't require me to wake up soooo early ><
staying school latelatelate is really very fun next time you all must try! :D Weds feel like Fridays you know. the intensification of school life is like a parabola - Wed is the max point, and then it all starts going down. on Thurs, the mood is like -___ Fri are like, "LET ME OUT!" kind of thing hee :D
recently, i think we, as in my friends around me in general, have been feeling really down. like lost the purpose and the goal in life. yeah sometimes this does happen. you tend to lose direction in your life, and you don't know where to go next, what to do next, and when you do something, you don't know what you're doing it for. so you end up just passing each day as it comes. that's just like what i am doing right now. not that i have lost my direction, but i find myself asking myself, just what am i doing all these for? for University, for a successful career... for what?
getting good grades does not necessarily translate into a successful career and a guarantee for a smooth life in future. nothing does. the future is still unwritten, and it will remain indefinite until we live it.
but ultimately, i think it is really important to hold on to what we believe in, and just move forward. cos your faith, your beliefs, your values, hold you together.
meanwhile, may everyone be happy, and find that goal back again. although i don't have a religious faith, but i believe God put everyone of us here on this Earth for a purpose. we will live that purpose (:
