When three friends come together...
Friday, November 26, 2010 1:24 AM | 0 ♥ comments

The result is pure FUN.


The three musketeers eh?
So today, i went out with Freya and Rebecca, two of my oldest and most precious friends, for the first time in like, forever, and we went to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It was a good movie. Freaked me out a couple of times, but it was all good. I really enjoyed it, especially the fact that it was the first movie i had watched in close to a lifetime! Well, evidently that's an exaggeration, but it certainly felt like a lifetime since i last went out for pure pleasure. It's a slightly disorientating feeling, the knowledge that i no longer am encumbered by a load of books, and now when i go out, it really is for pure enjoyment, and close to nothing can hold me down. Or bog me down for that matter. Today it sank in that for the first time in 12 years, i really am free of the burden that is known as school... at least for the next 9 months.
And it's WEIRD. I recall when my Godsister told me earlier this year how odd it felt after the A's, i completely brushed off that feeling as nonsense... and now, i see that she was right. completely and unequivocally correct. And now i feel slightly empty. She was right when she said that finishing the A's caused you to lose a little of your sense of purpose. It's oddly liberating and yet shackling at the same time. Oh, the paradox of life.
But i digress. Freya, Becca and I went for the movie, enjoyed ourselves very much, and then went to Superdog to enjoy a nice (probably very unhealthy) meal, and talked a whole lot of nonsense. And viewed a crazy amount of funny pictures on Freya's laptop. Seriously, if that XKCD comic were reality, and wealth was really based on the number of funny pictures one had on their computer, freya would be a gazillionaire. and i dont even know if such a number exists. But yeahh, it was a lot of fun, and i really missed hanging out with the two of them. I really miss my St. Margs days, i do.
Still, all in all, today was a really good day. It was a great breather to get to see the two of them again, and it was a hell load of fun.
Yupp, so that was today.


Still breathing!

Just One More...
Monday, November 22, 2010 11:39 PM | 0 ♥ comments

OH. MY. GOSH.
"alright cambridge, you
got me, you win."
JK.
I cannot believe it, just one more day till i can taste sweet freedom all over again. It seems so near and yet so far all at the same time. Can it really be? Have i really completed this grueling and trying mental marathon otherwise known as the A levels? Well, not quite completed, but it really is the last lap, and a part of me cannot believe it. It seems like i have been trapped in this endless cycle of paper after paper, stressful night after stressful night, teary end after teary end, till now, I cannot believe that it is finally drawing to a close. I mean everyone thus far has been like, oh just endure it, this journey is a really difficult one that you have to take, you must follow this road down to the end blablabla. Yes. Thank you very much my dear friends, I didn't need constant reminders that i had no other option than to keep trying harder on this road that i really dont want to be on, though i do appreciate the encouragements very very much. Still, now with the end in sight, i really feel like just flopping down on the ground and going, alright cambridge, you got me. you win. 
I'm just kidding, there's no way i'm conceding defeat, not when i've already persevered for so bloody long. Heh. Moving on... 
Today, I attempted and completed the chemistry MCQ paper. Sure, it wasn't the easiest thing in the world, but at least i can say for a fact that i did my absolute best, and any marks that the paper managed to weasel out of me well, all i can say is, "well played cambridge, well played." So yes, believe it or not, i am satisfied with my performance today. It seems that ever since KI paper two was concluded, I started feeling this sense of serenity and peace that had been missing throughout my entire A level experience. If only that feeling had set in, oh i dont know, on the 9th instead. -_-" Ahh wells, better late than never right? And now, in my state of absolute zen, i anticipate my final and probably most demanding paper of this journey yet: The economics paper 2. dundundun... haha. Still, i am not filled with the same sense of dread that normally encumbers me before my papers. Instead, I feel this odd sense of peace. It's amazing and yet curious at the same time, but I sure as hell ain't complaining. 
You know the whole proverb thing: God grant me the courage to change the things I can, the serenity to accept the things I cant and the wisdom to know the difference? Yeah, the full meaning and significance of such a saying finally hit me today as i handed in my Personalized Answer Sheet. What's done is done, and there really isn't anything i can do about it. Sure, I can wish that i had the ability to go back in time, to tell myself not to be such a blur creature in my attempting of my papers, but it's never going to happen. We just do not have such an ability, so no sense in brooding about it right? It makes far more sense to keep looking forward and anticipating what future trials might come our way. 
So yes, with this optimistic spirit, I shall approach my final paper tomorrow, and when it's over, I suppose i can truly say that i have accomplished something, and well, be proud of myself for conquering a mountain I never imagined myself capable or surmounting. So until then, wish me the best of luck. I cannot wait for this ordeal to be over.
On to victory, yes? :D

Still breathing, heart full of anticipation.

Heehee. Today's yet another good day. It seems as though, as A levels is drawing to a close, these "good days" are becoming a more frequent affair. Says a lot about the negative correlation between A levels and good days does it not? Ahh wells. 4 more days, 4 more days till I'm free...
ANYWAY. That's not the original intention of this post. The original intention was to just say how happy I was about today. For the first time in EONS, and i mean eons when i say that, I got to see my very best friend, Freya. It's been really tough to get to meet her ever since we went to different schools after Secondary school was concluded, and this was only aggravated as Prelims and A levels set in for me, and Poly life got more hectic for her. So seeing her and getting to catch up with her after so long really is a treat! And we went to go get Island Creamery again, which is a really huge plus point.
Haha. But damn, it seems that as we grow older, our schedules become more and more unfavorable and, especially with university coming up, and how it will send us in our separate paths, even all across the globe, meeting up is just going to get exponentially harder. All i can hope is that that doesn't affect our friendship, and how close we are and so on and so forth. I've had one close friend move away from me before, resulting in a 6 year loss in contact, and by golly, i do not want that to happen again.
Still, it's a little to early to be worrying about these things right now is it not? I guess for now at least it'll make sense to revel in the present, and worry about the future when it comes. As they always say, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
Besides, I have faith in Freya and I. She's a really awesome friend, and I am so lucky to have her.
okay, back to studying i guess. TT_TT

Still breathing!

Fresh Air...
Friday, November 19, 2010 6:11 PM | 0 ♥ comments

Today was an amazing day. Nuff said.

Haha. Just kidding. Really though, it was a pretty awesome day.  For the first time in like... ever, I felt good after a paper. No, I'm not convinced that I'm going to do well or anything, I just feel like for once, I know I did my best, and that really is about the most satisfying feeling ever. It made me seriously heave a sigh of relief that on the most trying day of all of A levels, things are finally going my way.
It's an amazing sensation, and i really love it. It really was like a breath of fresh air. So yes, today's a good day, no doubt about it. Praise God for his blessings!
Now, if only this feeling were to carry onwards all the way to tuesday, I feel that there might still be hope for my A levels yet.
Praying really hard!

Still breathing, now praying fervently.

dual papers tmr *gulp*

OMGOMGOMG
OMG.  There's like two papers tomorrow, KI and Econs, both analysis papers. I think not only is my hand about to die, I am going to have my brain explode. This is kind of a less than desirable situation is it not? Haha. Ahh wells. At least after tomorrow I'm only going to have two papers left. That's like... a huge relief. I really can't wait for the A's to be over. Really really cannot wait.

On the upside, I'm really excited for my new phone! I"m getting the HTC Desire Z, and OMG it's so beautiful. Just go look it up on google or something, it really is the most amazing machine ever. Sure, it's a little huge, but every ounce of it is just pure AWESOME. So yeahh, I'm really pumped for that. Whooo...

Okay, better go now, gotta get ample rest for tomorrow's do or die (NOT A FALSE DICHOTOMY)
Till then,
the hyperventilating sheep.

a spot of brightness amidst clouds of grey
Wednesday, November 17, 2010 11:23 PM | 0 ♥ comments

Remember how I mentioned earlier that this blog is becoming something of an emo hub? Well, today I found something that I have to thank God for, something that I fully appreciate. Something that brings me joy and hope whenever I'm feeling completely down. What's this you may ask?
It, or rather, He, is none other than my sweetheart, Jared. 
every cloud has a silver lining right?
YOU are my silver lining. (:
Really, just when i feel like giving up, or whenever I feel crazy upset, in his own quirky little way, he brings me joy, whether or not he means it. It can be in his teasing, in his smile, anything. Even when he frustrates me, he makes me feel a little better. I guess it's just the knowledge that despite the tumultuous storms that I have to face on a day to day basis, there is a spot of brightness, of hope amongst it all. There is a life buoy, or even a lighthouse in the dark and dreary storm. Again, I am the queen of melodrama, but I dont know. This really is how I feel.


To my sweetheart:
I love you so much alright, thanks for being everything you are, for making me smile on such a regular basis. I dont know what I'd do without you. Thanks so much love. 


Yupp, so with this realization, today I feel that I am not only breathing, I'm living for a change. It's refreshing. It's as if a gust of fresh air finally came my way. 
Love is such an amazing feeling is it not?

Why
Tuesday, November 16, 2010 6:05 PM | 0 ♥ comments

And here comes another string of emo. Be forewarned my pretties, this ain't going to be the most pleasent reading experience of your life. For real.
So, after many days of attempting to surpress the feeling of anxiety and angst that resulted from the horrendous paper 3, I approached today's chemistry paper 2 with some sort of anticipation, maybe even an inkling of hope. Misplaced hope it seems.
Paper 2 was an utter mess. It was horrendous. I believe I got the entire question 2 wrong. Ordinarily, that would not sound like much of a deal, but given the fact that the question was worth a grand total of 22 marks out of 72, it is. I had hoped to be able to make up the lost marks in paper 3 here in paper 2, in hopes that perhaps I would be able to drag myself out of a potential B, and attain instead an A, yet that was not to be.  The paper was the weirdest thing I had ever done in my entire life. It was far from the conventional questions that i had previously practiced, and it was frightening. Utterly frightening i tell you. So here i stand, with just about no hope left within me, and my entire chemistry grade resting upon nothing else but my MCQ. Oh the horrors am i right?
Ahh, but who am I to complain. What will be will be no? All i can hope to do now is attempt some form of damage control.

totally feel like doing this
It seems my blog is turning into some sort of emo hub or something. hmm.... this has to be rectified. And i'm sure it will be... in about a week's time, when A levels finally ends.
Gosh, i cannot wait for that to happen.
Till then, i'll just "dance in the rain", and keep on... well... breathing.

CHEM OMG
Sunday, November 14, 2010 7:07 PM | 0 ♥ comments

And here i return with the next post. Barely a day after the last. I see my A levels kind of going down the drain. Nahh, the real reason is the need to express emotions. See, I was just doing my chemistry revision like any good A level student would. Hardworking no? But it seemed that the more I did my chem, the less I could do my questions. Even the really crazy simple ones that I typically, prior to A levels beginning anyway, would have no problem doing. And then the flood of emotion that had been held behind a dam ever since paper 3 had been concluded came rushing forth, much like a rushing river and whatnot. Such melodrama. Heh. But you know,

It was a really head in hands, on the verge of giving up kind of feeling.
Too much to bear...
And damn, it felt horrible. It seems like ever since that paper a large part of my confidence for chemistry had just evaporated, much like the ullage of a bowl of water left in a windy area. It's pretty crazy. Things had changed. For some reason, I now approach the doing of chemistry with a sort of trepidation and a queer form of fear. It's... unpleasant. Yeah. 
And today didn't help much either. Today in church a "friend" asked how the A levels was. So being the nice honest girl that I am, heh, I told him about it objectively and truthfully. That I'd messed up pretty big. So of course, naturally, I would expect a grown adult to have a little tact and behave like, you know, a civilized human being. No. You know what he told me?
"Ever thought you may not be as good at the subject as you think you are?"
Gee thanks. That's all I ever needed to hear, right in the midst of my A levels as well right. Thank you, you're such a pal! -_-


I dont know it really hurt me, and it really affected my day and my studying capacity. It made me wonder, what if i really am not as good as i would like to think? what if much of my expectations for myself are a large part of well, wishful thinking. Prior to about 5 months ago, my chem really wasnt all that good. So how?


gotta keep trying no?
But then i thought, damn. I'm not going to let some asshole get me down. I gotta conquer chem and show him. And this sounds like a really good idea to me, but it's kind of a hard one to execute. 
Still, I'm going to try. I'm going to try to break out of this horrible emotional mess. I'm going to try and cut free all the emotional baggage and scarring that had happened as a result of that one single paper. 
After all, no sense in letting everything I've worked for so far go down the drain right?


Pfft. Easier said than done.
Still, 
Still smiling, still breathing.

Breathing
Saturday, November 13, 2010 6:52 PM | 0 ♥ comments

Breathe. (:
Hello. Out of boredom I have decided to create a blog. Haha. We'll see how this goes. For now I'll just do my best to keep this little "story of my life" thing going. Hmm. Sounds dubious.
In any case, I guess a main part of my motivation for why I'm doing this has got to do with my A levels. The A's... Not the most enjoyable thing in the world, but having completed one whole week of it, and four papers to boot, I feel the need to reward myself with some down-time. *read: time wasting.* So i sat down, created this and spent some time well...
Breathing.
It felt nice. Not quite sure when the next time I get to breathe will be, so i'm going to enjoy it while it lasts. I really should be studying though. Yeah.
Oh well. 
Still smiling though.
