Truth is~
I think of life to be fruitfully beautiful,
with the right dose of -
love, chaos, simplicity, eccentricity and paradox.
"'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life."
Most of all,
I'm pretty normal...you know? ^^

I hate my class. A whole big bunch of smart ass-es. urgh.
The average of my class' L1R5 is 9--10. What the heck. And the worst of the lot is like 13? (Oh yes, this crazy nut who came in using 'rugby' for 1st 3 months with 34 pts. ended up with 31 pts. for 'O's...but he can be counted out I guess). OK, I am so bloody jealous. Imagine being in a class where 5 out of 10 people tell you they've gotten 9/10, 2 out of 10 tell you they've gotten 7/8, and when you are about to rejoice that the rest got 11--13, you realise they have like 3--4 bonus pts. so they all somehow qualify for some premier schools. Kill me.
Yes, my dream came through that the turnover rate is going to be bloody high, since only 4 people intend to stay in NY, that is, these 2 non-Singaporean guys that already took their 'O's last year, a repeat student, and yours truly. Great. ALL THE REST ARE GOING ELSEWHERE AND I SHOULD BE REJOICING BUT I AM FEELING SO 'SOUR GRAPES' NOW. It's just that you see all of them in school everyday, being kiddish and immature and unexposed to little things; sometimes incompetent in presentations or project work, yet when it comes to academic results, they fare so much better.
I'm beginning to feel inferior. I know I shouldn't be.But when the truth dumps itself at me;My hopes all start to wither.
If sadness cascades into your heart,
and lingers in doleful morass.
If happiness falters in shroud,
and leaves before grazing your brow.
Tell yourself...
This too, shall pass.
