stress!

oh cheesecake!

momentum's good. now its all about productivity. didnt really get to do as much as i planned becos my whole family came over just now for dinner. had to host them for quite awhile. this year's hari raya is really bad timing. i guess theres gg to be more coming over tmr. mabye i shd go find somewhere to study. its very distracting. plus hosting too takes quite abit of energy.

anyway, it was great having all my young cousins over. running everywhere, laughing here and there. cute. haha. today too i've learnt that the only way to get their full attention, and i mean ALL of them, is to play a high school musical song. haha. they will stop whatever they are doing. come to the com n start singing. like those sing-along-sessions. haha.

alrites. its back to u know what.......


Never Let Go of Hope

One day you will see that it all has finally come together.

What you have always wished for has finally come to be.

You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself, "How did I get through all of that?"

Just never let go of hope. Just never quit dreaming. And never let love depart from your life.

As are in less then a week now. im feeling all the heat. trying my best to make full use of the remaining time left. i've been into so much stress before. mabye its because i nv studied this hard before. hah. i dont ever want to go through this phase of my life ever again.
i need to stay focused and motivated. i need to stay strong. it will all be over soon. press on!

to all my frens taking our As next week... heres smth to keep us going (got it from a website):

Give Me the Wind.

I am at my best with the wind in my face,
When overcoming the challenge, with pace.
The pace that requires more effort, more strength.
But once gained momentum, endures with great length.

It's easy to sit back, placid and calm
Comfort is only a relative balm.
It seems an advantage, better than strife
But is dulled by stagnation, stifling life.

Progress needs movement, energy, drive,
No chance for improvement if you do not strive.
Nothing's for nothing: cause and effect.
That which you work for, you've more chance to get.

So give me the wind, let it blow in my face,
The more I confront, the more strength I'll embrace.
Steps are not mounted, nor challenge o'ercome.
Without certain courage or effort be done.

cant wait for this to be over.

i dont know. i jus need to blog. especially during this stressful period, there is a need for an outlet. haha. anyway, i find it very wierd. i usually want fasting month to pass by as fast as possible. however, this time is much different. haha. i want dont want it to end! haha. one reason is becos its controlling my diet and my body has been fully conditioned for not eating almost the whole day. if fasting month ends, its the best time to gain weight like no one's buisness. cant afford to get fat and unfit now. because after As, its gg to be the national u19s tourney in taiwan n i better be in shape. haha. or mabye the real underlying reason is as fasting month ends, it can only mean one thing... As are here! ahh. so lets not talk bout the big As since im here to relax.

there r a few people who have my life much able to cope during this i-cant-wait-to-end period. although i dont really see him/her/them, smsing n talking to no matter how short it is everyday keeps me going n focused. thanks!

oh yeah! this song is very nice!

Just the Way You Are- Billy Joel

Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take 'till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you, and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

Farewell

ops. my plan not to blog till the end of As had to be changed. haha. its Farewell Assembly. and i just had to blog about it. haha.

on thursday marks the official end of my jc lifebut my whole journey as a saint. it has been a memorable one with of ups and downs. more importantly, jc life thought me how to handle stress and the value of friendship. other than the academic side, jc life has been rather smooth sailing for me. i achieved what i initially planned to do, which seemed rather impossible at that time, which was to win the championships. nevertheless, with the support of my coaches, teachers and fellow schoolmates and the determination of my ruggers, we made this possible. re-writing history is never an easy job. the greatest people who i will always respect and remember will be my ruggers. they will forever have that special place in my heart.

it has been my greatest honour and privilege to be given the opportunity to captain two record making championship teams.

will upload the pics of farewell assembly soon.. once my laptop charger is back kicking. haha.

last blog entry before the As

alevels is in 26 days time. theres still alot to do. hah. last leg. hang in there. game plan: improve.
