Oh my gosh Sharon Tan what are you doing bingeing on CNY goodies? Rahh I need to start exercising control before I collapse during the -cough- rather intensive (what an understatement) PE lessons, the next of which happens to fall on this coming Monday ><
Things have been going well at RJ.. There are many many people (OG, class, old buddies) I need to thank for making the transition a generally smooth and enjoyable one (: Thank you for keeping me company, ranting about stressful lives together, celebrating my birthday, collectively trying to evade PE by refusing to change out until right after Chem Practs (that always end late hahaha! oops) I hope things keep up the way they have been, or even move a notch up the life fulfillment scale (:
Perhaps there will be many things that I'll miss from being in band, for one I know definitely that I'll miss my very dear batchmates and SBM, and the seniors who really cared and are still caring; I am sincerely remorseful towards my direct/junior for not being able to be there for them at React this year. But I believe in and will stand by my choice, because my rational mind attempted calculating the emotional costs of either choice, and my conclusion really is to start all afresh. I asked her one day about it, and she said, "since I've laid my choice to join ___, I just put myself into the ___ mode and not care so much about the rest", indeed life has no regrets, there's no point looking back at what I've let go of.
I am responsible for my life. I can see the bountiful opportunities that the school is providing us, and I want to grab hold of them Haha for some reason my mind conjures this image of strong yet light and beautiful gusts of wind blowing towards me as I try to reach out to catch them. It's a pretty sight, a pretty feeling, one that makes me happy and alive (:
On a more serious note, my academics have yet to attain their potential, and much more focus and drive shall be dedicated to their development. It is myself that I'm challenging today.
To be honest, I have no inkling when the next time will come for me to blog again, but till then here's wishing all of you a very happy chinese new year (: All the very best of luck, health, happiness and prosperity in the (quote MargaretZhang) err RODENT year to come! :D Bao3zhong4!
Sharon is off to realizing her dreams.
