Buck up!

Hellos :)

I went school today as per normal, lessons as usual.

Off I went to caregroup immediately after school. Regina's house is full of tidbits and snacks as Sihui, HuaiQian and I crunched on them while waiting for the others to reach and we were early too! Yeah :]
We benefited from the teaching just now although it was very long. Many points and sub-points.
It's just matter if we apply the teaching or not.

Is that the advantage or the disadvantage of not having any MYE?

The privileges of not having MYE is that we no need to study so much for our upcoming preliminary exams.
Moreover, we can purchase our foods during recess time immediately when we reach the canteen as there are no people around, at most there are only a few.

The disadvantage is people who have completed their paper for that day are dismissed as early as in the morning. And we have to see them leaving happily whilst we are really desperate of leaving the school compound too.

And this started since last Friday until now. It's really a temptation and we ought to overcome this problem. Buck up! Although preliminary exam result will not be counted in the progress report but it's a rehearsal and an audition for us. It's also to see whether are we really qualified to take the 'N' level. And furthermore, we have only two months more left to sit for the exams. I'm anxious but excited though.

All the advices from my family and friends increases as the day passes on. My mother told me "Aiyoh, don't waste my $300 ah! Don't ever flunk your exams!" My sister added in "Our futures are depending on you". My father told me "You graduated from pre-school and also primary school. Now you've already completed the three levels, you're already Sec 4 Don't waste the ten years of education and treasure your time now to buck up".

I desperately don't want to disappoint them. I WANT TO STUDY HARD!! :D
I constantly remind myself of these- The hopes and encouragements given by my family and friends. I will as well disappoint myself if I don't do well in the upcoming 'N' Level.

I may have to give up hope on her :(
It's simply unwise to focus on her now. I want to help her, but I have to help myself as well.
Before I helped her, she must also make some efforts by helping herself. She didn't really help herself, and it's unlikely that I can succeed in helping her.

If you don't help yourself, don't expect anyone else to help you. As the person who wants to help you cannot even enter your world and what's more helping you?

A Message to my beloved friend:
First and foremost. I'm pretty sorry that I just couldn't help you. I saw you going through the Science textbook just before the Science test had started. Although you failed your test, but you failed with dignity. You even scored higher than someone else in our class. But the truth is that you are prompted not to go school by your laziness and unwillingness. And I was also like you. The future is in our hands, there's no such thing that it's your fate to be successful and so on. Good things only come when good efforts are made, nothing is free unless we are the payer who paid the price. But don't forget, when your mind is cleared, your plans from now onwards and any doubts, do update me :) Not because you're my buddy, sister nor neither my best friend. I help every needy friends around me, somehow I always feel burdened for them. Nothing can stop me until I've tried my best. God said that too in the bible :) Last but not the least. If you've a confirmed mentality of going to school, inform me and I will be very grateful and I will be faithful to make it on time to meet you before school :) Tears rolled off from my eyes whenever I see you doing things without any directions :( No matter what, don't give up! I guess that you know that you are the one I'm referring to now. And I hope that you're reading the post, and do some soul-searching before any decisions are made :) You will succeed if you're willing to make it a success.

Humans nature are like that. We seem to remember of the negative things than remembering of the positive things.
When a person is saying out his/her own problems and struggles. He/she will blurt out the negative things in their mind. In future, majority of the humans will think negatively. Because every negative thoughts in their mind have turned them to.
It's very great if you remember those positive things than the negative ones. As they will brighten up yourselves and your behavior constantly will be high, happy and great!
Who wants to be EMO or SAD? That's so unpleasing to yourselves as well to the others.
In conclusion... no matter what, we must always rejoice by taking note of the positive things and forget about the negative things.
And that's what pleasing God XD

Although I'm pissed off just now because of some matters. But I sensed that I don't really mind so much when I tried to forget it. Well, if you're willing to, don't be afraid that you won't succeed in doing it.

God has given me his grace, and I'm pretty touched by him.
