Charge...

So it begins. Good luck to all for the final exam of the year. And good luck to me, I'll need it. Got to say that I'm not prepared for it. This year, so many things happened. I totally lag in my studies. I don't even know if I'm able to promote. I know a few people who are as slow as me and they're trying their best to meet the criteria to promote. Its sad for people like us. When others aim to excel, we aim to pass. Hopefully the effort that I've put in is enough to get me a decent pass in my subjects. Gp is already screwed i think. Cant afford to screw up the others. Econs on Wednesday, maths and geog on Thursday and physics on Monday an it will all be over. I really don't one to be the one getting retained. If I do then I'll have to spend another year in that yucky school. A school which has lousy food, lousy environment for people like me and I won't be able to graduate with my team mates. ROAR! I hate studying but Singapore is a place where you can't escape from education unless you plan to be poor which i don't plan to be. Someday, I'll make it... Somehow. It may not go smoothly and I may take a longer time then others to succeed but I won't stop until I'm there. Try and try and try and try. Its so tiring.

I took one big step and I looked away
And then I thought of all the things that I wanted to say
I'm always too late
You never got your story straight
I'm always up late
I think I'm everything you hate

Food!

Had dinner at aunty's place. Food was good. As usual, laughter filled the house when they start talking rubbish. My aunts and cousins talked as though they were of the same age, joking about everything. After about an hour of jokes, me and my cousins went to shop n save to get some ice cream. We ended up buying some french vanilla with tiramisu flavour ice cream. In addition, 3 packs of marshmallows were bought. I was so full from all the ice cream. Its good but i think i over ate it. Haha. My grandmother also got a new cat. Its so violent but cute. I love cats. =)

F- - - the system

Another loser anthem for me. When will it end?

As Aidan would say, "Cheers man"

Empty apartment by Yellowcard

It's okay to be angry and never let go
It only gets harder the more that you know
When you get lonely if no one's around
You know that I'll catch you when you're falling down
We came together but you left alone
And I know how it feels to walk out on your own
Maybe someday I will see you again
And you'll look me in my eyes and call me your friend

20 more days to go~

You should be studying

Im in no mood to take the exams. Its so near yet so far. I wish to get it done and over with so that i can do what i want again. Sept holidays spent in school from monday to friday from 8am to 5pm. Although its been productive, i still think that i should be enjoying my sept holidays. Oh well. Guess i have to wait till after promos to relax. Studying is really boring. Fasting month starts on the 13th i think. Woohoo!!! haha. I cant wait. The good thing is that i get to save money, i get to lose weight and i get to train. It also mean less eating time spent which i can use to study. I realised that eating will result in wasting of time. Hopefully everything will go as planned. If it does, I'll gain alot. If it doesn't then i 'll have to do more planning.

To all my seniors, im going to really miss all of you when you leave NJ. For some reason, i've really learnt alot from you guys. Observing how all of you face challenges together, being there for one another and being there for me. I cherish all the times spent with all of you. Next year won't be the same without the senior batch.

NJ Canoeing 06 Batch- A bunch of individuals who worked together to achieve great heights together. Well done

For the better or the worse

I want to row for as long as i can. I want to see how far i can mature in this sport. I want to see who i can beat and how will i beat. Will the people who are rowing now still be rowing 5 to 6 years down the road? Will team singapore ever win in the sea games or other international races? Or are we just not meant to be canoeist. Whatever it is, i'm gonna give it a shot and see. I wont know till i try. Swing high, swing low.
