Holidays!

its the mid term break, but to be perfectly honest i've never really stepped out of the holiday mood in e first place heh. i noe if i carry on slacking like this i'm gonna regret it when the results are released at e end of the semester, but i jus cant seem to snap out of this lack-lustre mood..

Academics has never been a real problem to me. i remember the times when i was younger, my mum would buy stacks and stacks of assessment books for me to do. And where my bro was scolded and caned for being too playful, i was given the same medicine for not completing my assessment books.

On hindsight, i should be grateful to these books, for i believe they did help to lighten the burden of my academics. But at the same time i realised that there's something more that helped me.

my peers.

Looking back, i reaised that at every stage of my life, there's always someone that i work towards. In secondary school i had a close fren who excelled in maths and science, and making him my benchmark, i would slowly work towards the same level as he is.

Same thing happened when i was in tjc. Rayner excelled in math, while bingde taught me econs and physics, both of whom happened to be my best frens in jc. Coincidence? perhaps.

However, due to my signing-on with the RSAF, i disrupted for studies 2 years earlier than these frens who were supposedly in e same cohort as me. The result? i flunked in my first 2 years of university. With no friend ard me to set as a target, i was lost; yet at the same time i sort of learnt to be independent, to really develop my own studying methods instead of simply following others.

It finally worked the last sem, lets hope it'll work again this sem =)

suddenly have this craving to go back to taiwan haha.. wanted to go bintan during this hols, but abit worried abt the earthquakes in indonesia. siannnn
