♥Sunday, February 28, 2010.

读了一篇感人的短文。其实,别人可能不会有同样的感触,因为坦白说它其实很普通。但我似乎看到了我的目标;就在这漫长路上的尽头。

最近感到很迷惘;提不起精神,笑容也是勉强的。我不要这样,这样真的好累、好累。

常想,是不是我太弱了?为什么别人能这么坚强,我却这么脆弱?真的很不甘心。我也很想做到最好,但是怎么什么事都做不好。是我不够努力吗?是我不够好吗?为什么我就是做不来?

这几个星期来,上课都是白费的。讲堂上,上课时都在睡。

我常说,当一个人踏入战场,他最初想到的不会是‘输’。

但最近,我好像没履行这句话。真讨厌这样的自己。说了却没做。那不是和那些大人都一样吗。(突然想起了谢和弦的歌)

课业,球队,梦想。真的好难平衡。

我是‘怕输’吗?干吗一直比较?干吗一直说,“为什么别人做得到,自己就做不到?”

是自己以前自信心太高吗?为什么明明觉得自己快不行了,还一直想,“我一定能做到”?

这些是为了鼓励自己吗?还是欺骗自己,让自己以为自己有在努力?

那天,我为当队长的事苦恼了一个下午;失望了,伤心了,哭了。
慧仪问我,“你有尽力了吗?”
我回答,“没有。”
“那就哭吧。因为如果有尽力了,就不应该哭。”

我大哭了。我总感觉,该做的有太多太多了,我却没有做,只是一味地等别人做。我没有尽到以队长该负的责任。我从被委任开始就知道,我不可能比上一届的队长好,但我说服自己,说只要我尽力,别人就一定看得到。但我看起来,没有在尽力吧?我自己也这么觉得。

Sharon最近说了,身为一个领袖,如果对自己没有信心,真么能让自己的团队对自己有信心呢?一针见血吧。只不过我不是在为是否进入校队而烦恼。这不代表我认为自己肯定能入选,这只不过代表我就算落选了也不会感到特别难过。这是真的。但是,而且是个很大的但是(抱歉,英文直接翻译,因为没办法用别的方式形容了),只有当我不是队长,这才能成立。所以总结一目了然。

我担心的是,我没有能力激发别人。Inspire. Motivate. 我无法做到。我只不过是个认为’管好自己就行’的人。自己努力就好,别人不肯努力,我却不知道该怎么说。当然,有些人会说,这些事情不需要用言语传达,用自己的行动也行。

芊文当天的确是这么说的。

但是你知道吗,我并没有努力到一种让人敬佩的程度。我不是球队上基础最好的球员,不是跑最快的球员,不是最厉害的防守,不能给最好的建议。怎么让人觉得我配得上呢?

我接下工作时,当然知道会有很大的压力;学姐的期望,球员的期望,教练的期望,老师的期望。我甚至不断认为副队长做得比我还好;她是个更好的球员,更能说话的球员,更会鼓励的球员。

好了。不应该继续贬低自己,虽然脑海中还是不断重复这些话。

对了。回到我刚看到的故事。提醒了我,有梦想,有目标是一件好事。

和那些不知道的人说,我其实很想念美术哦!中三时因为课业,打球,理事会,(其实大多是因为打球,因为开课时正是比赛期间,没上很多堂课,也没时间补课,就放弃了),念不成美术,真的有点惋惜。所以现在的目标,只不过是想考完‘A’水准考试,报读Lasalle.

应该有很多人觉得我很笨吧。其实我也这么觉得。

妈最近问我,为什么不在中四的时候说呢?

很对不起她,但我必须这么说。如果我在当时跟她说,又能改变什么?难不成她会让我放弃华中,到美术学院读书?哈!想得太美了吧。

大人们总是这样呢。要不是我累到崩溃,差点疯了,她会这么爽快答应吗?

最近,表姐也问我,为什么不到大学修读美术呢?而这正是听我说了我想到美术学院就读的同一个人。

我当让知道,要把眼光放开、放远。Keep an open mind. 我也有在考虑。但我还是认为,在艺术方面,还是艺术学院好。(对不起,除了‘好’之外,想不到其他字眼了。对,我就是词穷。)

大人还是这样呢。认为我们永远都是小孩子,认为我们都应该听他们的建议 - 我真的有在听,但是我也有自己的主见,好吗?

好久没用中文打文章了,感觉有点新鲜。虽然有时有点不顺,但也不错吧。

周四回到南洋致词,真的感到很荣幸。不管之前我就知道自己会回去,还是觉得很不可思议。

上台时真的好紧张,整个人都在发抖;真是太久没站在台上说话了。我看,大家也听得出我声音在抖吧!真丢脸。>< 但很高兴一些人都对我说演讲的不错哦。顺带一提,认为我说华语比较好的人占多数。哈哈!的确,连我自己都这么觉得,总觉得英语发音有些不标准,还请大家见谅。但说完后感觉真的好爽哦!

凌晨一点了。该睡了。明天早上练球。唉。累死了。

好了。晚安。

WOW.
♥Wednesday, February 24, 2010.

And to think I just talked about making decisions at our age is kinda early. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1039650/1/.html

Well. Today was basically..horrible. :( I don't even feel like talking about it. I was so delirious I forgot my GP tutor's name. My goodness.

I'm extremely excited about tomorrow. :D Its our junior's big day! :D NYSL Invest 2010. :D Dang, am I excited. And yes, I'm getting excited about crafting a speech I'm going to deliver in approximately 12 hours. NICE. I obviously hope no one finds out.

Anyway. Off to do my speech. Wish me luck! And jiayou juniors! :D (Although like, zero person will see. Haha.)

Sick and tired. How apt.
♥Tuesday, February 23, 2010.

Anyway, to clarify, in case anyone thinks I'm bullshitting - who gets tired from staying at home the entire day? - I don't mean tired in that sense. In the, damn I really need to get some sleep, sense. But in the, why on earth does this kind of things keep happening, sense.

First things first, I'm giving a speech on Thursday and my script's not out yet. Freak me.

And I really hate falling sick at this point of time. I mean, falling sick after CNY is just..cliched. Yes, I'm convinced it has reached that stage where everyone falls sick after CNY. And no, I haven't been eating goodies. All right, maybe just a little.

But really, my post isn't about that, I just had to have an intro to lead me in. Like, an intro with on link. Oops.

I think everyone's planning for their future now. Not just my year, but like J1s too. I think its a JC thing. Which I'm totally fine with, if you though I was going to diss that. Cause everyone tells us we have to start planning for the future now, which I agree with. But what the heck, we're just 17, 18 year-olds. They're scaring us by saying that its gonna decide our lives. Sure, majority, but I don't think that's the only way to how we're gonna live - like, choose one, and you're stuck with it.

But anyway. That still wasn't the point I was trying to say. And actually, I've forgotten what I wanted to say in the first place, so just let me ramble, since its my blog.

People seem to be fighting so hard to build up their portfolio. Er, the academic and whatnot achievements kind. But turning into a portfolio-whore is just..gross. I'm not saying anyone I know is. And I hope no one thinks I'm that. Like, seriously. I know I've got to look at it objectively, since these people are just working for better chances in the future. AND, all of us are supposed to be doing that. But not everyone has the, how shall I put it, calibre. Its like, how not everyone can get into Harvard or Oxford or some well-known university that yours truly here does not bother finding out (yes, that's how uninformed I am). And how not everyone can be in er.. Hwa Chong? I guess that's valid too.

And how not everyone can be..ah, a leader. And nope, I'm not trying to praise myself because I'm in HC and I'm, in technical terms, a leader. Like I said, technically, because essentially, I don't view myself as being a good leader. And when I think someone is a leader, it has a positive connotation, so I don't believe in a thing called a bad leader - if anyone's not good enough, that person shouldn't be called a leader. I'm being very critical in that sense, but I TRY (please note the word try) to see the good in everyone. Or at least a little bit of that goodness.

Honestly, I think the medicine is making me delirious. Half the time of this post, make that three quarter, I don't even know what I'm talking.

I shall just have random bursts of information about myself. Haha.

I think I'm a .. easily swayed person. If you make some sense to me I'll believe you. Maybe I'm just lazy to think of my own views. I think of myself as someone without a mind of her own. I salute people who do, and accept others who don't agree with them. I find it interesting how people have their own definition of everything. Its like, they've classified almost everything and match them to how they feel. I don't think anyone understood that. But yes. I think people are interesting, no matter how boring they may be.

And in any case, let me just whine for a while and express my self-hate. Haha. I think of myself as a follower. I don't care what other people think about this, but I am not a good leader (which I am contradicting myself, cause I just said that there's no such phrase in my dictionary as bad leader.) But its just cause, like I also said, technically, I am a leader, of my team, of my class, of my faculty. And that's why I previously said I hope no one takes me for a portfolio-whore. That's beside the point though. The point is I'm not doing what I should be doing well.

I'm a selfish person. I put my best in things I want to do. I think Wai Yee has told me this before, which I agree, that I will do things that I like, for things I don't, I still will, but I will screw it up and blame myself for it after that. I think its a vicious cycle.

I'm in a very delirious state right now. I have no idea why, but yes. Its 1am right now. The entire world population (okay no, just a few friends) told me to sleep early today. I'm sorry, but that's not exactly possible. Haha. I know it totally is, but I just refuse to let myself sleep so early. Lol. I'm just doing nothing right now. Actually I am. I'm thinking of a damn postbox design. Haha. For STAMP02. The competition sounds quite fun actually. But I'm in a bad state to think of ideas now. Like how I shouldn't be blogging right now.

To continue on the previous topic, after the short diversion. Mm. I'm not afraid to say, I crave recognition. Haha, that's dumb, who doesn't? But that happens to be the source of my motivation. Very pragmatic, huh.

Come to think of it. Maybe I'm a little more pragmatic than I like to think of myself as.

Its 4am. Haha. What on earth am I doing here. In 1 hour and 15 minutes later, I've got to wake up and go to school. Roar.

Damn me.

I feel like I'm gonna cough my lungs out. Roar.

Wanted to do work today, since I actually have the time to. But apparently felt too groggy. Damn. Xin Yi was just saying yesterday that we have four weeks to blocks. Damn it. I'm extremely screwed, not just for Math.

Hate falling ill. Freak.

♥Sunday, February 21, 2010.

Chingay was really fun. :D And I think Valerie and Jie Min worked really hard for this! GOOD JOB! :D

This was the first time I watched Chingay live. And I'm kinda embarrassed to say that I almost teared. I know, its so *roll eyes*. But it was really cool to see so many people. Performing, watching, cheering. It was just, overwhelming. And the fireworks were pretty! Makes me wanna go watch NDP. Haha.

Anyway. I'm quite screwed for this week. I haven't done any work for Econs and Chem tomorrow. And for Chem, I have absolutely no idea what we're doing. Can I just sit in a corner and self-study ksp. I have zero idea what the entire chapter is about. -.- At least tomorrow's a slack day. I don't even feel like swimming. Damn.

Whatever happened to my resolution of studying hard? I wonder.

Did the Doodle for Google thing. Hui Kin! You better submit with me. Haha. If not so embarrassing.

Okay. I shall go do Econs article review. Although I will still do everything in point form. Hurhur.

WTF.
♥Wednesday, February 17, 2010.

Seriously. I think my mum is the most ludicrous person on earth. Long story, but I'm so fed up that I shall post and you shall tell me how ludicrous it is. So apparently I came back and she whined to me that she never strike lottery. Er, on a number that my father picked out on his birthday. Which, btw, was on 2nd Feb, which was half a month ago. So, when she asked me, I'm like, what the hell, like real I can remember.

And my cousin called me to tell me about how she blamed her for causing her not to win. Cause she came in the early morning to fetch her. I don't know what's her stupid warped logic. Then she blames my dad for not buying his own number.

So in conclusion, my mum didn't get her second prize which was..$12k. Which I admit is a whole lot of money which I would love to have won (wah lao then I don't even need to spend my own angpao money yea). But honestly, what's not yours is not yours. Its just fated to be this way. So I can't get why she's so upset about it until she doesn't want to pick up my cousin's call.

Okay but seriously, this is MY mum we're talking about here. To tell you the truth, it isn't as surprising as it seems.

Apparently, we're both having emo days today. Maybe its the end of CNY. Haha.

And I've got work to complete by tomorrow while I'm still leisurely blogging here. But I'm honestly quite zzz-ed by my mum.

Enough about that. I've got to go do work. -.-

OMGWTFBBQ.

From CNA: "For example, one piece of bak kwa has the same calories as one bowl of white rice; and say for example, if we eat three pieces of pineapple tarts, you maybe have to jog for maybe half an hour to burn the calories."

What the. I've eaten, what, 10 pineapple tarts at least. Time to stop eating. My goodness.

Damn you nutritionists. Haha.

And er, throughout these 4 days of break, I've managed to learn dance for Mirotic. Haha. From Youtube. I've replayed the video probably 200 times. Obviously not very cleaned up, in the midst of doing so. Everything they look cool doing, I look like some retard. Roar.

Which reminds me to ask whether I can use the money for lessons. :D Who wants to join me!

Okay I'm tired. Its 3am in the morning. Zz.

Realised I haven't been blogging for mm 10 days. Seeing as my last post was on 6 Feb.

Anyway.

Just to boast that I'm rich after angpao spammage. Hurhur. Headphones, speakers, here I come! :D

I'm rather tired. Haha. As usual.

TTM!
♥Saturday, February 06, 2010.

A lot of things TTM. Like, tired TTM, high TTM and I don't know what else.

But really. I haven't had a good rest this entire week. I seriously need one. But I don't exactly think I'm going to get it.

Will blog about campfire another day. I'm like, going to sleep on the table soon.

♥Thursday, February 04, 2010.

I desperately need sleep. Or rest. Or whatever. Like, after my Bio tutorial. I know I'm wasting precious time here blogging when I should be doing tutorial. But I'm half brain dead.

Extremely stone today. Damn.

Okay fine, I'm too tired to think of what to blog. Bio tutorial!

Ugly.
♥Monday, February 01, 2010.

After looking at Wan Jane's er.. objective post, and a lot of ugly things online, I conclude that I shall post another post to close this thing off.

Honestly, I was quite pissed and am still quite pissed at how the fansigning was conducted yesterday. Maybe its because I've gone through Farenheit's one, which was damn well-organized at IMM. Honestly, the fact that there were no barriers at first was quite shocking. Okay, but I'm over that.

But I'm starting to think that the fans (i.e. us, or maybe not US, but the other people) were obviously at fault. Seriously, please tell me you'll tear down the door. Okay, we probably weren't there, and it was wrong to sneak in. I'm feeling rather stupid for doing that now, actually. Why couldn't we have been like normal, civilized fans and just queued up? But once again, its over, so no point harping on it.

Was stalking the forum today, planning to find out flight details. Apparently saw more ugliness of fans here actually. -.- So SHINee were guests for some concert today, and from what I saw on the shoutbox, some fans actually left halfway, like, after their performance. My goodness. I'm..speechless. And they held another fansigning, probably for all the concert performers. For which the whole community of Singapore on the shoutbox blew up and all hell broke loose on the tagboard. Oh and I forgot to mention, its the international forum.

Need I say more?

I think people need to be more rational. Honestly. Its not going to be a once in a lifetime opportunity, stop making it sound like it is.

Okay, I probably sound like I'm anti-fans instead, but I think there should be a limit to things.

I miss the peaceful day of queuing at Farenheit's autograph session. Gosh.

I won't discount the fact that there are really nice fans all around (I think we're kind of part of them. Just let me be thick-skinned for a while.) and there are people trying to control the crowd. Well, SFI is getting a lot more peaceful now. I think most people are rather satisfied (or maybe not), but the complaints have like, reduced by..alot, which is great.

I feel like I'm preaching or something, but honestly, woo. I'm feeling quite relieved now.

Tomorrow's going to be a long, long day. And I am so not looking forward to getting back review test results. Its quite obvious to me it'll be a big fat U.

Can't believe I saw my eyecandy today, just when I started to complain that I haven't seen him around lately. He is epic skinny. I'm getting epic fat. My goodness.

I'm tired, as you can tell.

Correction: I'm sick and tired. 10 more months to end of this year. Go me.

SHINee! ):
♥.

Okay, it obviously wasn't meant to be a sad smiley. But today was like, the ultimate. I've repeated my story umpteen times, I don't feel like doing it anymore.

I WAS SO CLOSE TO SEEING SHINee! LIKE ONE FREAKING WALL AWAY! KEY! ):

Anyway, I got so tired of typing this post that I just left it there to rot for a day.

I have no idea how many times I've repeated the whole bloody story to everyone around me.

To sum it up, I think its really unfair for those who actually woke up extremely early to queue and did not manage to get in. (I know about the no overnight queuing rule, but I kind of understand why people do that..) And its just damn sad that we didn't get to see them. ):

As you can probably tell, I've gotten calmer as compared to yesterday. Haha.

I have like, ten thousand tabs on my Google chrome. Haha. Trying extremely hard to find departure details.

I want to be rich. ): I see fancams all over the world at airports. (Don't these people have to study/work?) There's like, photos of TVXQ everywhere, I have no idea how these fans do it.

On to today. Honestly, I think swimming lesson was quite fun. :) But I totally do not belong to the advanced group. -.- I don't even know freestyle.

We're doing beep test tomorrow. Damn it. I better not be too tired to go Changi airport tomorrow.
