The funny thing about blogging is that you tend to pour your mind out on a website that everyone has access to (so much for secret diaries..). But as technology and minds advance, more innovative methods have been devised to satisfy the needs of expressing your mind rather than the conventional way of jotting down in books. Anyway, moving along from that, I have wanted to update the blog earlier but there was that "thing" with time as usual. Furthermore, my new work life have taught me a thing or two about life.
Love. Ever since that fiasco more than a year ago, my new dogma was that love kills friendship and that between love and friendship towards the one you're fond of, friendship lasts longer than love. Moreover, if you take the relationship 1 step further, there could be a serious backfire. I am fond of one of my colleagues at work and frankly speaking, she was a great friend of sorts. Put it this way - It's a similar case to that of YY. Consumed by the illusions of love, I've hastily made a confession only to find my close friendship with YY gone for good. But this time I've avoided the same mistake I did in the past. Hence, it paid off when I found out that she was already taken by another guy. Enough said there...
Thanks to the many A' level leavers (and O' level leavers) working together with me, I've been discussing intently with them about studies, exams and results. It became even more of a hot topic when the O' level results are out, boasting people like Sarah and Jasmine getting 11 and 13 points respectively and Auntie Leni, giving me a shocking 15 points for her results. Its unfortunate to say that I'm still unsatisfied, sad and even frustrated with my exams although the results of the Big One would only be known in the 1st week of March. I felt that had I was given a second shot in the A' levels, I would make everything right and would never regret every single moment of it. Now, my dreams of being a USGS Scientist hangs in the balance due to my lacklustre performance. Yes, God is always there to help me. How will all this plays out is still in His will...
Coupled with my recent job was my sister's admission to a new school. It is only then where you realise that what's more harder than studying is to teach someone instead. And yes, I've got to admit that my sister is struggling with her new studies. She only has 2 years to pull out a miracle in the PSLE and go into a reputable secondary school. My mom was optimistic about her and was adamant that she could catch up in time. As for me, on the other hand, she will need all the help she needs to pull out such a stunt be it tuishen, extra homework and mugging and extra teaching from me or my mom. While it's true that she would be able to catch up somehow, I'm not leaving anything to chance.
On a more lighter side of life, Gilbert and the gang are hosting a BBQ at Mr Ma's (our "China" math teacher) condominium this Friday. I seriously can't wait for it although I may have to work on the day itself. Furthermore, it would be my last day at the job and I'm already planning my schedule for that day. However, I just found out today that there would be a "slight" problem with the outing. Apparently Celine have invited YY to the BBQ this Friday and Gilbert acknowledges it, citing that she was once part of 24A (that was only for 2 months at the beginning of the year). Soooooo...now that YY's been invited to "gatecrash" the party, where does this leaves me? Should I still go for the party or ditch it altogether? We'll see about that on Friday...<3
