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.

One week update!
Monday - 2nd June 2008, guitar farewell. Even though many J2s didn't come, those whom i really were close to and loved did appear. It was nice to chill out for once at a guitar event without the worries of something going wrong. Good job to the new J1 exco for planning all these for us! All the best!
The only photo i took, but the most precious whereby the juniors spent $15 to construct the 'heart of GEM'. Shall post a photo of my farewell gift soon.
The rest of the week were spent mugging in school and also at the airport with Eugene Tay. Even though we usually end up chatting rather than studying much, i don't feel stress with them around. Chatting with Eugene reminded me so much of PAE period and the many outings with 204. It somehow feels weird that everyone is so separated now that it seems that only Eugene and I are the remnants of 204.
Went out for dinner with her on thursday as her tuition was cancelled. Somehow i feel so bad that i have been neglecting her so much, even after stand down. Came up with a new sign once again that made us realise how kid-ish we were but oh wells, everyone says we look like kids.
Saturday and Sunday were spent at the Habitat for Humanity camp organised by VJC. Apparently, we were supposed to go through poverty for a day and experience how the China Si Chuan earthquake victims felt and also raise funds for them to build houses in China. Couldn't really say i enjoyed the process but my team mates made me feel much better, especially Jin Jian and Le Dung constantly crapping with me and also Azy for her extreme highness that was infectious. At the end of the day, we built this...
The Fang Family house. Don't mind the collapsed side cause the organisers started tearing down the house before we took pics. If you can see, the structure is way different from the other houses after much sawing and drilling by us. But at the end of the day, we didn't win cause we were totally trashed during the other activities.
Shall go to sleep and wake early tomorrow to battle phase part 1. Till then...
