I have been quite in a holiday mood lately, especially after Chemistry paper. I have not done any constructive work at all and have been out almost all day for the past few days. When I say constructive work, I refer to what most people define it as, that is school work. Maybe too much time spent with Mr Tan has unknowingly influenced me to use "when I say ... I mean ..." Apart from quite a lot of time spent catching up with friends in the last few days, I have also spent a lot of time with Clarity. Maybe I spent a little too much time with her that now my lips are hurting and my teeth feels out of place. Somehow I find it really enjoyable to be able to spend time practising. Now I wish that that is my job instead of having to study which can be quite a chore most of the time.
There is this thing in me that tells me that my holiday started last Thursday and will end only in April. Hopefully when lessons resume tomorrow I will still be able to remain focused and absorb whatever I have to learn or I will seriously have a hard time catching up when I come back from Hawaii.
That's all for today. I want to practice my piano before it gets too late.
Sometimes I really wonder what I am going to be doing 10 years down the road. It's just so unpredictable. Anything can happen between now and 10 years later that might just change my entire life, hopefully for the better.
I realise that between two people, the older person will alwasy have high expectations for the younger person, but the younger person seldom has as high expectations for the older person. Is it because the older person has more experience? Or is it just because the older person has done something that he regretted doing and want the younger person not to commit the same mistake? Everywhere, this seems to be the case. In school, each teacher wants every student to ace the subject, complete all the assignment, pay attention in class and everything else. In some other activity, the instructor or whoever will take it for granted that the person has nothing else other than the activity he is taking part in. So many times, people don't realise that everyone has their own lives to lead, and not everyone specalises in one thing alone. I guess people, including myself, should be slightly more understanding and not be so demanding all the time.
I guess I have no idea what I am talking about. It seems so weird to blog again. I mean the only other thing I have written in the past month was General Paper essays, comprehension summaries and answering application questions. I feel like I'm doing the same now.
It's March now and since tomorrow is a day off, I suppose I am right to say that the last day of lessons of the people in VJC who have been posted to other schools was yesterday. Actually it's quite a sad thing to see some people having to leave, especially when some of them have really contributed to the school in some way or another. No matter what happens, we must all move on and make the best out the situation we are in even if we are not willing to. Accepting the change and adapting quickly to it is the most important thing now.
I'm looking forward to the Hawaii trip but yet so afraid that I will be disappointed again. So far, all the bands I have been in was so close yet so far from the top. In secondary school, my band got a sliver for SYF, in JC, we got a gold, in WMC we got gold as well. Every time, it was only just a step away from the top. I really hope that this time we will bag the gold and show everyone that Singapore bands can be just as good as Japan bands by performing in the command performance.
I am so relieved that common tests are finally over and I passed my 'A' level Chinese. I'm not going to touch Chinese anymore.
That's enough for now.
