guess it's way due time i update again, lest my blog fall into other person's hand HAHA

prelims have finally came to a close, and so many milestones are formed...

First time get a grade over C for chemistry in my last ever exam in SAJC

first time get over 50 points in uni entry points

first time i felt i can be super careless, to a point that my A flew away in Maths

so marginal, 73 for maths, 65 for chem, 55 for phy, 50 for GP LOLx

Two weeks, just two more weeks, and everything will end,

no more classroom style lessons
no more ponning lectures
no more hanging around with friends and do stupid but funny stuffs in school
no more....

sigh, that's me, always dread both the induction and farewell. Fear induction, cos i am super shy to strangers and sometimes even friends. Fear farewell, cos i just couldnt accept that times had passed on so fast and i'm reliving all the special moments in the past one plus years. I just hate to end things, although i'm clear and very sure nothing lasts forever, but the heavy feelings sometimes are so uncontrollable, you really wish you had really cherish the times the class spent together.... These few days also quite subdued, dont know why but i seemed to lost my tongue whenever i hanged out with the class people...

today went on another of my wondering stint. yea, in case you dont know wondering and pondering is my favourtie hobby lol... Today the chapel saw momo jam and jeremy part of the band leading the (half-depleted) school, i thought,

"Wow, they must have been damn proud to lead the school in worshipping the God that they believe in..."

ok i'm not trying to convert, i'm contend staying free-thinker but i wondered, how many people in singapore can really do the things they want to, besides worshipping their God? Our lives are so controlled, our main point of living is just to earn as much money as possible so that our family can have a roof over their heads and well-fed, in order to do that we had to slog like crazy in our 12 years of education just to earn 2 worthless qualifications just for higher levels of study. I bet darryl is thinking of this LOL

Then at the end we watched 2 scenes from LOTR which is really wasting my precious time. Then came the turning point, our gp teacher came up and showed the overseas CIP footages in cambodia, which they went at i think holidays. What really set me wondering again was what she said after the video

"most of you will be complaining about the singapore education system (with an obvious glare at darryl XD) but look at the cambodian children and think about this before you start complaining..."

Maybe, just maybe, all of us have taken so many things for granted, be it education, friendship, food, water whatever, that we have lost the ability to cherish the values of everything that we have and forget about those who are suffering and yearning for it, day in day out.. Likewise, we only know the true value only after we have lost it or on the brink of losing it but miraclously got it back. If euthaneasia is legalised, i would have been an orphan a long time ago...

cherish the last 2 weeks of 05S72, for it will flow down the memory lanes of everyone and cease to exist anymore...
