man is the master of his own destiny

“Man is the architect of his own good fortunes”. To what extent do you think Man is the master of his own destiny? haha that’s that question I did for GP CT yesterday, and I must admit it was quite an interesting time spent dissecting the question and looking for the nuances that will make my essay stand out. But I don’t really have a good feeling about the essay, so I’m just hoping for my usual 32-33. As for comprehension, it was really the killer! The questions were tougher this round, as if the teachers are hoping to convey a sense of urgency to us students through such ‘scare tactics’. haha oh and I happen to read the first article before, and even posted something on the blog before! xD I’m still amazed at the coincidence, but I’d say that me reading the article before didn’t really help that much since comprehension really requires you to chew and digest the content, whereas a brief perusal of the article doesn’t do much except in generating ideas. haha but anyway, GP on a whole was sianz.

55-52. That was the score for the Basketball Girls’ Finals between RJC and HC. =(
I really feel sad for the players for they have tried their very best. And to lose the game after leading 3 quarters only sharpens the pain and grief they players must have felt upon the whistle being blown. Some people have questioned whether it was due to a matter of complacency. Being a spectator of the match, I can confidently say that it wasn’t. The girls continued playing at a fast and furious pace even after carving out the beguiling lead, and the way they fought for every ball demonstrates their determination and undying attitude. But eventually, I got to admit that credit must be awarded to the HC girls for withstanding the pressure of being behind for so long and slowly gaining confidence as they edged towards victory. OH WELL. I still feel sad for the girls.

I haven’t been able to concentrate in lessons these days. The relief and euphoria upon the completion of GP CT made me complacent, and I’m simply too tired to bring myself out of the languished mindset. sigh. I have to focus.

After all, just as I have written in my essay, I am the master of my own destiny. Instead of letting the multitude of external influences affect me, I have to subjugate them to my control and channel their energies towards furthering my own goals, and thus be my own man! haha alright, and to achieve all these, I must first SLEEP.
