As I sit here typing away, it feels as if this year just went by within a snap. Os have finally come and gone & I am more than glad. Just a few weeks ago we were counting down "20 more days" & it's finally here. In some way, I'm pretty proud of myself for having achieved some goals in life this year. I think that I've worked pretty hard based on my standard & I've become slightly more hardworking. Haha seriously, I've never done worked so hard for exams because I've had the whole happygolucky attitude but I suppose when you see everyone working hard, it's impossible to just sit back and relax. Or maybe it's because I've matured this year. For people who know me, they'd probably understand what I'm talking about cause I can really be such a bum at times but I've proved myself wrong. Vivien says that she can't see me working in the future & that if we end up working in the same company, I'll quit my job first. That is not true viv!!!! Sometimes it's not just about proving to other people that you're capable of success but also to yourself.
It seems as if a whole load is off my chest now that I don't have to think about exams for the next few months. I can only hope & pray that everything goes smoothly & to trust in the Lord in everything I do. I think what's more important is that I walked out of the hall after every exam feeling that I gave it my best try. With the exception of physics of course, but then physics & me just don't go well together.
I would have never got through this whole year without the support of my parents. Hearing them constantly tell me that as long as I try my best, they'd be proud of me makes me feel very good about myself. Knowing that my parents aren't the sort who believe that grades define a person definitely makes me feel very privileged. And my family has definitely played a big part- my aunts telling me to just do my best and my sisters being nice to me during the exam period lol.
I know I'm making it seem as if the exams were such a big deal but maybe it's cause I've never taken school this seriously. To cut the long story short, I am just so excited that exams are history! No more panicking about what to study or worrying about the silliest things for quite some time (:
The holidays are going to be a blast. I cannot wait for the 30th to come & I am bubbling with excitement. Oh the shopping & food & museums (: Anyway I met shar today & it was awesome catching up. Mum dropped me near bugis cause she had to send su for training so I was meant to walk to raffles city. But being me, I couldn't figure out how to get that so yes, I ended up taking a cab there. Hahahaha sharlene was screaming at me over the phone to take a train but I figured it would be pretty packed so yes, I succumbed to taking a taxi cause I kept telling myself "exams are over".
So we had dinner at the cute little cafe by the fountain at raffles & we talked and laughed and ate. Shar thinks she's so stylish just cause she has "stylish clothes" for London. Hahaha okay I'm just kidding. And she thinks that I'm a psychic just cause I wear alot of bangles and bracelets on my hands. What a weirdo! Then we walked around, did some shopping & I got the Josh Groban cd. Omg Damien Rice has a new album but I shall get that the next time.
Then we had ice cream & there was this lady wearing this lace skirt. Okay it wasn't really a skirt cause you could see her bum & it was awful! Why would you want to wear something like that?! And everyone was looking at her & this guy was telling his friend but his friend didn't see it in time and then the guy was like "Oh man free show but you missed it" & shar and I were like what?!?!?!? Hahaha then we went to marina square & she found her tights for london and we got a gazillion accessories. No kidding (: Mum came to pick us after su's training.
Decisions. Now I've got about a whole month to kind of think the whole thing through carefully before deciding. I'm pretty confused but I'm going to talk to as many people who I'm close to so that I can make a good & suitable decision.
I'm going off to bed cause I've got to wake up at 8 tomorrow morning for tennis with Viv. Yes 8 is a bit too early but all the other slots are fully booked :/ I am going to be way rusty but I'm definitely excited to play tennis again.
Holidays, here I come.
