Time really flies...
Working at Seoul Garden was a big eye opener both in terms of the people i've met and experiences learnt. Round 1, 2, 3, 4, carrying a huge number of plates, moving fast and being attentive. Most importantly, funny friends that never fail to make the tough work bearable.
A level results came along after that. Though not very pleased with the overall results, i can finally say that i really did put in my all for this exam and will not regret getting these results. Applications close today, hopefully i can get into the course i want to.
Last of all, been troubled over a number of issues. It's hard to find friends to talk to anymore, maybe it's partly my fault? I don't really know. Let's hope going to NS brings about a new pace of life and a break from life i really need.
Update soon. =)

Hot, tired, exhausted...
It's been so so long since i blogged.
Prom, outings and most of the stuff have all became history. As usual, darren stayed in Singapore for the hols again. Watching friends go overseas has become so part and parcel that even celebrating my birthday alone seems like a norm. Once again, the presents from her were great and unique which equates to more stress on Feb 23rd.
Finally got a job with quan heng at seoul garden. It's hot and tiring but finally, i've started experiencing how life really is. As usual, i somehow always manage to screw things up here and there. Even though i could tell that the others were quite pek chek, they never failed to help and even encourage me.
Feeling bluesy and cheesy now. Somehow, this time, there's really nobody around anymore. YEAH! Go overseas till 30th! Can't expect life to always be a bed of roses but this feeling down business has really got to stop.
Really wished that i had been posted to NS earlier, with the tough training and exhaustion, it would really give an escape from reality. Maybe that's why i took the current job anyway. Oh wells, better rest up. Looking forward to Bo's performance tmr, all the best man.
My tiny lies over the ocean...
My tiny lies over the sea...
My tiny lies over the ocean...
Oh bring back my tiny to me...

Life after As
Thinking back, time really flew. A Levels are now over over over. It always seems that
before the major exams, you start planning a whole series of events such that there doesn't
seem to be much free time. Yet, nowadays i seem to be rotting away.
Class chalet was great. It may be one of the last few/last times that the class will get
together and play again. Jonathan's chocolate mousse was great, as were Bo's satays. And the
Spaghetti that i helped my mum with turned out not bad sias. Enjoyed the walk with cherish
to and from E!Hub, Catching the sunrise from the wrong direction with Bo and even Hysen's
constant whinings. I sure will miss this bunch of people when we finally part ways. The 3
days seemed to be an escape from reality, no more stress of studies or even worrying about
what to do with the spare time. Somehow, the 16 people will have special places in my heart.
Especially Bo and Cherish, the greatest best friends for the past 2 years.
Met with Dominic today to supposedly practice guitar for the prom performance. Somehow, i
don't and can't seem to find the confidence to play to my fullest. Hopefully i can do it by
then/ 1 more week. Ended up wandering around City Hall and Orchard to look for prospective
prom clothes, finally manage to find what dom and i wanted. Shall look forward to picking
the stuff up next week.
Oh wells, i guess it's time to get back to life. Guitar outing tmr and guitar camp on
Friday. It's been a long while since i met the guitar J1s and 2s. Shall look forward to
meeting them tmr. Till then!
p.s. no more emo-ing for me. Cause i realised that it really hurts the one that loves me the
most. To those who know who they are, get out of my life.

it sucks when...
It sucks when you have barely touched Econs and A Levels are 12 days away.
It sucks when to have to smile just so others won't think you are emo-ing.
It sucks when you lose friends, good ones.
It sucks when you know it's hard to get them back anymore.
It sucks when you are feeling down and desperately trying to find someone to talk to.
It sucks when there's no one to be found.
Now, where is that rewind button when i need it.

thoughts
A levels is just 2 weeks away, somehow, time has passed with the blink of an eye.
That same feeling of dread that i felt during O levels seems so surreal. I could have sworn that i have forgotten all about it until the it just pounce when i had least expected it. Prelim results weren't that good and knowing myself, it feels like shit everytime i try to compare. Ever since i stepped down from guitar, life has been on a constant downward spiral. Friends, studies and so much more.
Somehow, i just gotta pull it all together and push this last and heaviest hurdle out of my way. Life is just about to start and i will do my best to get ahead, of course, to build a better future. For us. =)

Bad grades
Midyear exams flew past very fast.
It was damn bullshit and i hate to admit that i am totally screwed for it this time.
25/80 for physics paper 3 ain't really the most ideal result i was expecting and yeah, still feeling damn sore and disappointed with myself after 3 days. Have you ever gotten that feeling of getting bad grades, not knowing what you can do or how to explain to your teachers how it happened?
It's time to buck up, wake up and seriously get down to mugging. But with the new timetable, how can i do this? Without PW, chinese and SPA, the timetable somehow managed to stretch even longer than before, it's seriously damn shitty. However, it's all for my own good.
Was at class outing today and chatting with best friend 3 on the swing. Somehow, we ain't really looking forward to going back to school. And the weird idea of what if someone died of stress or due to being unable to cope with it. Would people sit up and seriously look at the amount of pressure that they are putting on us? Or is it only in this school.
Can't give up at this point though, came so far, fought so hard, experienced so much. I will NEVER let it go to waste. Tasting failure is one thing i shall strive to avoid in future!

Lessons learnt in everyday life
Exams are coming next week, everyone seems to be well prepared though. Rawr, somehow it seems like i am the only one without enough preparation.
Been swimming these few days, forming a cycle of mugging from 8.30 in school and going home at 3 to grab my swimming stuff. I find that the water is someplace where i can escape from all the chaos and stress which i encounter everyday and that even there, lessons may be learnt.
Was resting after completing a few laps at the side of the pool when this father-son duo came into the pool. Not meaning to eavesdrop, i still managed to pick out a few exchanges from them...
Son: "Daddy, what are we doing now?"
Dad: " Get ready for freestroke in 10 seconds."
" Never stop until you reach the end, no matter whether you are swimming or not."
Well, it's a direct translation from chinese but you get my drift. It's true that one must always persevere if he/she is to complete great things. Shall keep this in mind and always remind myself that i must never stop until i reach the end. The A levels.
