Blogging is essentially keeping a digital diary - and however much you wish to reveal, it can be accessed by the whole world. Or part of the world who knows the url of your unlisted blog, or the password to a decryption. Whatever.
Anyway, my main purpose of keeping this blog for 5 years - and counting, hopefully - is so I can type out my experiences of my (said) life and not forget them a few years down the road. I choose to believe the adults who tell me that the schooling years would be the best years of my life, so I should document all the funny moments in class, my feelings behind every choir production, outings with friends, how studying is killing me, the opportunities outside of class that the school has given me... and when I am all old and stress is in the tangible form of wrinkles on my face, I can read these entries and reminisce about those times. (and realise they were better times than my horrible adult life and I should have cherished the years of awkward teen self) (?)
It's true, 岁月不饶人, time passes way too quickly. The children are growing up, our parents are growing older.
Ramblings aside, I already regret a little for my future self that 80% of year 4 has passed, and I haven't had the time to touch this blog at all. It is a bit of an inconvenience for me to access this blog account (due to boring reasons) and.... I don't understand myself because today is a Sunday and I'm in the midst of my last junior high EOYs, with chem and math 2 coming up next and yet I can blog (??) To be honest, I think you can do whatever the heck you want at any time of your life. I think I have been consistently prepared for my tests, and I really don't believe in cramming stuff minutes before a test, like millions of my peers who would bring materials down to flag-raising and back up. I have been more chill about tests this year - I went to a choir concert on the night before math and geog CT, went for a MUN on the weekend between CT2, go do CIP/for choir practices during the EOYs period... really, spending time on these stuff "instead of revising" didn't have a bad impact on my studies, in fact it kept me going, it kept others going (for instance, the people I am supporting in the choir concert?) and I feel really... calm. You know, 2 hours isn't going to magic out an A+ for you. Worse still, sometimes you get distracted and don't even study - so why not do something else instead.
Have been spending EOYs studying with peng at compass point and it has been great so far. It's near home, affordable and we have done so much. Just 2 days ago, I also took the last physics paper of my life (why did't I inherit my father's engineer genes) BUT FYEAH, GOODBYE PHYSICS. Soon, GoSH! would begin and I really cannot believe 2/3 of dhs life would be complete and we would become jc students. :(
Perhaps I would still do a run through of events throughout the year, and I guess I'll list them out to see how far we've come...
- CCA orientation
- March choir camp - it was overnight!!!
- Gala concert
- Choir showcase - Aladdin and Frozen the musicals (: daresay biggest event of the year
- BSP camp - yes, I went back as a facil
- Ventured into the mun world with IMUNC
- My own handover :'(
- Natl day at Maju camp - army life is super interesting
- SDYC - second (official) mun, and unexpected prize
Yes, quite far. But the journey never ends.
