When the going gets tough, the tough gets going....

it was an eventful day....really, after all the stress, people around me are breaking down. I don't mind them crying...because somehow when they cry, part of me cry for them too....it's just too much to take. where were the days when we had time for ourselves? how much is enough?

perhaps i'm not thinking again....

kirst: please don't think that i meant anything by saying "i feel useless", it's just that i feel really really really really really bad for letting you edit the WR and do the OP at the same time...and sort of being angry at myself for not contributing....don't think that i said that because you're "hogging" the comp. it's just that i feel very very bad for letting you do most of the work.

haiz.....group projects will never have equal distribution of work. never....some people will contribute more than others. and somehow because in secondary school i was the one contributing most of the work...that's why i know the feeling when you've done most of the work, it's tiring...but rewarding as well.

perhaps i'm not the top shape to console beryl about exam stress....we're all feeling it beryl...hang in there...keep the notion of the B and you'll get there....if not at least close to it :P (i meant an A, not C)

the higher the expections we set for ourselves. the more stressed we become. I don't believe in setting goals in studying. because what you set, may not be your full potential - and because to make it more "realistic" you mark down your grades...

maybe it's just me saying that....you might be different?

i dont' know what to do to prove myself that i can score well in exams. - that people in seemingly inferior schools can make it too.

it never occurred to me that people in good schools are special. yes, they've achieved much...but why? What is their damn secret!!!

from where i'm looking from, it doesn't seem that they're telling

_______________________________________________

Examinations, emotional, family stress.....sometimes, are you working for yourself? or are you working for somebody's wishes...

my family never got to the university before. so they wish at least one of their nieces/nephews will go and make the family proud. akin to the ancient times when taking the imperial examination was one hell of a thing to show off for.

it's no longer a matter of what you're working for, or who you're working for.

we want that scholarship:for what?

we want to take triple science: for what?

we want to take h3: and that will help in.....?

it's scary, when people look up to you for direction: because quite frankly, life is too short. i can't actually be a geo-chemist, composer, director, a teacher, a traveller, a stage-actor, a lyricist, a screen-play writer and a slacker at the same time you know.....

Don't you find it fascinating? That what you want to do, don't actually turn out to be. you find yourself in an office DREAMING of the things you'd do.......

if life were all that smooth-sailing, it would be boring...yes xin yi...i'll come to understand that in time.i believe min yi will too.....

to change, but yet keep check of who you really are...makes change difficult.

Minyi: i hope you find your way out of the tunnel too....because somehow i may be travelling the same road too, and perhaps somewhere along the where, we can sit down and enjoy how long we've come....

dont' underestimate your abilities to soar, sometimes it may seem tough like now....

but we're all working for a future.

but what that future is, it is for us to decide....

and we can blame no one when we cry over poor results..

i'll take my own advice
