Education?

Mid yrs ended and jus as i tot i am gonna get a well derserved break, messages flooded de phone. Homeworks and a lot more work are already prepared. J2 is tiring, i cant even take much break after my exams. Even thought the journey is tough, i believe there are 'angels' ard me lookin after me, giving me gd advices over the last few days.

It started on my gp lecture day. The topic was education. I was already veri sian wif my new time- table and all the work that i hv to complete jus 2 days after exams. The lecture on education was not jus on the topic education, it had the elements of reality in it. It made me think real hard. A question was asked "How would you like to be remembered when u die?" and another was "Do you think you will feel u hv succeeded if u died tmr?" One thing came to mine, the Dragonboat Tragedy. I realised that i hv succeeded in a way or another if i really had to die tmr, at least i hv spent a lot more times wif family and friends compared to how i was like previously. I hv learnt to treasure everything i hv and value everything ard me. I believe i hv reach quite a few check points on my journey thru life. Like wad they say, a successful journey really depends on whether we reach the final destination we wanted to get to in the first place. It has taught me to fight harder for my goals and my goals are wad i really love, wad i really want. Mid yrs result will not be tt gd i noe it fer myself. It is a failure, as i noe i did not put in the hard work and effort that i should hv. The lecturer said "Failure can refine you. Don't let it define you." I hv now found the meaning and the reason to study hard for prelims. With them in mind, i am a step closer towards both my short and long term goals.

I went for J1's dragonboat trg, which is my 'grand- juniors'. Lol. Met a few Nteam mates, laughing at my fair skin. At least my muscles are still there. Haha. Somehow juniors all don dare to talk to me. Talked to CJ and i am glad he chose to do what he likes and not forcing himself to do things he don like. I believe if u play to your natural strength, stick to the stuff you love, more and more will follow. He also said the same to me. It's great meeting them. The more reason y i hv avoided Kallang. Meeting Ah Hee and all the nteam mates, makes it difficult for me to let go of dragonboating. Like what Kingley say" Study hard! U can always dragonboat after ur exams." I cant wait for the day my A's end and i can go back and train with them. And even help Ah Hee wif the junior's trg.

Today i met Cedric, had lunch wif him. HE motivated me and ask me to find the meaning for everything i do. He said that once u find the meaning of things u wanna do, the things jus become easier and easier and u will realise it is never boring to do them. U will enjoy wadever you are doing and overcome them easily with no fear at all. I tot hard and i hv learnt a great deal frm him today. Haha. Got my printer at last and decided to blog out this meaningful entry so that i wont forget it. Gotta go bath and complete my work.
