It actually quite surprising how I think Moral Education is a complete joke, the Sejarah we study is so twisted, yet there are elements in the Malaysian Education System that actually has played an impact in my life - and a quite significant one in fact.
This poem by Rudyard Kipling particularly hits the right chord..
If..
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same...
So what impact does secondary school have on your life?

Theme Song from F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
So no one told you life was going to be this way.
Your job's a joke, you're broke, you're love life's DOA.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.
So no one told you life was going to be this way.
Your job's a joke, you're broke, you're love life's DOA.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.
But, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before.
I'll be there for you,
"when your world seems to shatter to bits."

I never really worried about the future...
So with all the graduation photos appearing on FB, I can't help but feel that the end is near. In one year's time, I will be leaving the comforts of school. In one year's time will another chapter of my life come to an end. In one years time, will my working life begin, and so does all the debt that comes with adult life.
I think the new movie poster for Harry Potter has a very apt tagline for my seniors.. "It All Ends" =P How very depressing. But then again, the next chapter could be even more fulfilling as with great risks comes even greater rewards. Who knows what the future holds?
Que sera sera, whatever will be will be.
I never really worried about my final year and after. I had this little plan all mapped out in my head. But with only half a plan left, its as good as no plan at all.
I never really worried about the future... until now..

What I have learnt recently?
There is more to life in Singapore then just Kent Ridge Campus. Despite being in Singapore for the past five years or so, its sad to say that I have not explored Singapore as much as I would have liked. There is still so much to eat, so many places to go and so many things to explore. When people ask how much students have to study in university, I keep telling them that it really boils down to how well you want to do in school. In a way, how much you go out to see Singapore also depends on the people you hang out with. Don't get me wrong though, I love the people I hang out with!
Construction is a rough and tough sector. I better get ready for it. Time on the clock, one year.
At times, I think back and am grateful for all the people who has helped me and been there for me. I wish there were a way for me to thank them all, personally. Whether a handshake, a hug, or a little trinket from my travels. Unfortunately, there aren't enough presents to go around from my travels. I apologize for it and hope that you know that you have been remembered and appreciated.
Jetlag is no joke. Which explains the time that I'm posting this. Either that, or something else is keeping me up...
You really learn alot by talking to different people. In a way, people talk about their interests. And as different people have different interests, talking to different people will expose you to different interesting interests!
Truth be told, I may have gotten my priorities wrong for a while now. It may sound exaggerated, but there was only one thing that I gave in my all. In poker, its call "All in". This time, I may have lost the bet. But I will not regard it as a bad call.
Realising this, it would take a fool to not change a thing. Then again, it would also take a fool to change totally. The trick is to brew up a concoction with the right dosage of change.
Then again, how do you know what the right amount is?

Remember VIP? I had always thought that it was a glimpse of the future..
So many dreams, dashed and have to be rewritten.
I guess in a way I should be excited, considering the many different roads to take and how much things would change in the near future.
Okay, so maybe excited is the wrong word to use..
Was I too comfortable with the feeling of security it brought?
