Strength to Strength...

These days I began to see more of what my future had in stall for me. Apart from the daunting task of getting thru the A's unscathed, I found myself facing dilemas and troubles which have made me realise more. & nope i dun think they made me stumble one bit!.

Friends...
Relationships may just be the one thing hardest to explain. Putting them under scrutiny, i realised that you just can't explain why some makes you irritated, why others make you glad. While some may regard the friends they make as mere aqquaintances during a transition period from child to adulthood... nothing much to lose..., others may want such friendships to last forever.
For myself, I do really hope that friendships now would last! But theres this inherent fear that at this stage i'm not anymore conscious and appreciative of the friends around me than when I was in primary school! It's quite regrettable that i have so little memories of my primary school classmates, friends that have stayed with me for the six years! I fear that when I grow up, the consciousness of the working world becomes so overwhelming that I begin to forget... to forget the times with volleyball, tennis and frisbee during breaks, with the friends I can hang out with after school, and with the memories of the times at the OAC bench and the related memories that had gone before!

Money...
Nope hopefully I've not become more moneyminded! But i guess I've finally gotten used to the habit of saving, and watch my wealth grow! (though its not substantial, but I'm really glad to have saved quite a nice bit!) Accounting's quite important, and with my parents help I've quite gotten used to analysing my handphone bills, managing my piggy bank account as well as keep tabs on the bank statement I receive regularly! Guess thats lifeskills for me, before I can be granted full autonomy over my savings, and over my life. Theres just so much to learn about where your money should go, and how it can grow!
Somehow, I seem to have a negative impression of people who talk so much about the finest dining experience at fancy restaurents, AND criticise the economical food found in hawker centres, when they themselves really are not financially independent to sustain such exquisite dining experiences. Please please just keep the criticisms to yourself and respect the food that have nourished me for 18 years of my life! (haha i think this is a hypothetical person as of now!)

Career...
I really don't know what life after A's would have in store for me... & the plans that I have now all hinge on the single exam coming up in almost 100 days time! While I may be able to identify all the best universities that specialise in my field of interest, what I really want to know is whether I can thrive in a university environment thats best for me! & yes friendships are important! Really cannot accept the idea that being on foreign soil, I may just be the person the local students there would not welcome. Well.. i guess life may well be a cycle of hates and likes, and 因果循环.

Life...
may forever not be appealing to a person who think the worse of things! Bad days are days when you feel blue, and for me it means that i need more time with myself! But whats so nice about good days without bad ones!!!!!

For me, the 2 years of JC life was indeed fruitful! With the greatest experience with OAC, with great friends from sjab squadmates and oac batchmates, and with all the fun I had playing sports and games and meeting new people, JC life has indeed left me with little to regret...


& with so much I learnt and experienced, with the friends beside me, we definitely did grow from strength to strength...
