H E L L O G U Y S ! ! !

I know it's been a few weeks since I last posted here. Have been really busy with school, and all sorts of things. I'm not sure if I've told you all about my school's Chrystal Programme before, but 2 weeks back, for our 'Hang Tough' segment, they got Ms Carolyn Lim to give us a talk. It's indeed inspiring. Maybe you can google her to find out more?

She was sitting on a wheelchair at the foot of the stage, and it was the first time the entire hall got so quiet. She shared with us her story. She got struck by lightning while windsurfing at ECP, and she got rushed to the Hospital for a neurosurgery immediately. Following which, she went into coma. What's really touching was, her then boyfriend did not leave her. She got married with him a year later after the incident. And she just gave birth late last year! Everyone started crooning when they saw their baby's photos.

So... sometimes we really have to get a hang of ourselves and persevere on, because we have not been through the worst yet. That which doesn't kill us, only make us stronger.

The rigour of the JC Curriculum is truly something that can't be trifled with. It's seriously nothing like Os. It's okay to study like 2 weeks before O Levels, or perhaps 1 day before the SS Exam (like what I did). But I'll definitely die a horrible death if I do that for A's, or the upcoming Promo's.

Speaking of which, is only 52 DAYS away! OMG PANIC AND FREAK OUT. There's so much of practise to do. Besides revising for the past chapters, there are new ones coming up; and everything is so heavy in content! (Esp for Biology).

And even more infuriating, even if you have the knowledge for Bio, but once you can't apply to the question/miss out keywords, you're equivalently dead. I really hate to sound so negative, but suddenly everything started to work the opposite way, I have to be pessimistic to push myself further. Somehow, it just works because most of the time when I say I'm dead, I don't really mean I'll be dead, perhaps just warning myself that I'll be REALLY REALLY DEAD if I do.

I get so tired everyday when I reach home. (But good news is, CCA's standing down on 12 August! Have also declared break from RCY matters after AMKSS' NDP - still can't help but feel worried... but faith is still there!)

I think I'm concerned about my studies and learning for now. Like, even more than I did for O Level Exams? I mean O Level feels so 'insignificant', and I feel like I've not done anything for it like what I'm doing now.

After all, JC life is not easy. Imagine having to go through 2 years of turbulence and then at the end of that, receive bad results that can't fetch me into Uni? It's a waste of youth, and I don't want to land myself in that state. 2 YEARS IS ENOUGH, NOT 3. SO I MUST DO WELL FOR PROMOS. REALLY REALLY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO PROMOTE :'(

Hope all of you are doing fine! :) Anyway for Chrystal, we're into De-stress Electives now. Just had my first Hypnotherapy Session today. Spooky how our mind works.

Xoxo,
