school!

ahhhh! i can't wait for school to reopen! lol, as weird as it may sound, i think school's really interesting (apart from the homework, that is), especially this period of time. why? well.. for one, 5A will be getting new classmates tmr! haha, i've always liked meeting new people and making new friends.. so it's sort of fun and exciting to anticipate who's coming in tmr. yup, then we'll be getting our new timetable too.. with PW included! hope the new one is as good as the old one. haha, and i like doing project work with a bunch of fun and responsible people too.

there's something about rj that seems to revitalise people, or at least it does in my case. i could swear that the atmosphere is almost sentient and alive, encouraging friendships to form and bonds to crystallize, spreading the positive synergies everywhere! lol, it motivates me to make every day a meaningful one, and to derive as much joy and happiness as possible, and at the same time, sharing it with the friends around you.


i would say that comparatively, i'm much more active a person now as in ri, where everyone is constantly being buried under the multitude of homework, projects and cca, making life in school seem like a drudgery. the difference btw then and now, i feel, is that i'm making an effort to put aside time for more meaningful stuff, rather than wasting it away on games and other random stuff.

this is when i realised that in everyone lies an endless sea of potential - we can either work hard and sacrifice a little to draw upon this immense source to change our lives for the better, or let it lie dormant and enjoy the superficialities in life. the problem with the latter is that this 'sea' will slowly trickle away.. and once it's gone, it can never return.

and it's like a painter with his canvas. as a painter, only if you're daring enough to mix colours around to achieve the desired shades will your painting look nice. on the contrary, being too conservative and unadventurous will only result in an otherwise unattractive and dull painting. we are our own painters and our lives are our canvases. how the painting will turn out to be will eventually be our choice.


kk, i realised i'm getting too contemplative >< actually, this coming week is rather special to me.. 'cause i took a risk to mix a new colour in my life, and the outcome will soon be revealed. i hope i made the right choice.. but only time will tell. haha, wish me luck! =)

to conclude.. dare to try. dare to achieve. dare to be different.

l'audeamus - let us dare.
