Gracious.. another wasted weekend.. did absolutely NOTHING towards my studies.. if this carries on i'll surely flunk my promos.. i just dunno where to start! fri: teacher's day celebration.. after that, i went out with yg, jingliang, edwin and xp for lunch at Seoul garden.. hehe.. had not been there since last year, on my birthday.. really stuffed myself silly.. the guys were quite impressed with my stomach's capacity! keke.. i had fun..
but on a serious note, looking back, time really flies.. it seems only like yesterday when i was celebrating my birthday at the same place with yg, jingliang, jem and eve.. what shd one achieve in order to have a fulfilling life? from my pt of view, tink that we shouldn't let our life just ebb away.. we're only young once.. we must truly treasure our life, and those ard us.. we must live life without regrets.. now that i'm 17, i've got the feeling that i've matured, not only physically, but more importantly, mentally and psychologically.. having experienced so much, whether problems or joyous moments, has been instrumental in moulding me into what i am now.. i've attained maturity in thought.. i now finally understand what is wisdom, and that life can't be simply explained or written in a book.. one must experience it, feel it, embrace it, in order to fully comprehend..
for me, the year starts on my birthday, and ends on my birthday the next year -- strange rite? hehe.. i'm a weird person.. and i mean it! even when it comes to studying methods.. so when my frens seek advice from me on how to study properly, i would tell them to find the method that is most effective, efficient and most importantly, it must suit them.. studying is not about how hard you study, but rather how
examsmart are u studying.. yeah.. and it must not only suit you, it must suit the education system you're in.. i would rather not tell my friends my studying methods.. like my thinking, my studying methods are strange, unorthodox.. simply put, its unconventional.. haha maybe i am thinking out of the box! :P hehe..
sat: my class had flag selling that day.. supposed to to at toa payoh mrt.. i was late, but i felt i was early, as there were many ppl who arrived later than me.. hehe.. its comparative! hmmm i spent the 5 hrs with jason, jaricson, cherie and lyn.. we slacked at first, at bk.. then we finally garnered enough guts to actually start selling flags.. hehe.. it was so strange.. when we didn't ask people to donate, they did it willing.. but when we actually started asking, they turned us down.. hehe maybe next time we should just stand at a corner, and look cool..
sun: met my pw grp members-jolene, pearlene and shila at starbucks fareast.. hehe.. after my lunch and the laptop's power shutdown, we decided to go to pearlene's house, near novena.. it was rather productive, i would say.. i also contributed abit to our 2nd draft.. hmmm.. hope we can churn out a great report..
well.. back to school tmr (xian).. hehe.. nvm.. at least my brain system will switch into the studying mode.. hehe.. my teachers will force me to get out of this slum i'm in now, dreaming and lazing always.. looking back, this has not been a bad year.. yes, it ran into rough times, like in other years, but i guess overall it was quite fruitful and enriching for the mind.. i had my first girlfriend, and i lost her.. oh well.. i shouldn't dwell on it.. we must hold on to the things that we have.. if we lose it, it'll be gone forever, into obscurity, for eternity.. we will not be able to once again hold it in our hands.. the only thing we can do, is to regret and cry.. therefore we should start treasuring everything around us!
