  • grad day!

    Picture 007

    Picture 005

    haha this is really a venue
    with great significance for our class
    coz somehow, our class photos r always taken here
    -looks back at previous class photos-
    interestingly,
    we seemed to have changed so much
    since that first class photo was taken
    yet then again,
    nothing seemed to have really changed
    our class is a unique one,
    and im truly happy to be part of this class.


    this was taken later at night on stage,
    together with mr koh.
    haha our borders cash voucher as grad present
    as well as e $10 per A (in terms of a meal) for A lvls
    he's been such a patient and tolerating tchr
    which i guess many of us will always remember.

    im so glad for many of my tchrs in hwachong
    such as mrs toh as well as my chi tchr
    its like u noe that they truly care
    and they make u understand how noble tchrs are


    yaye with niang and van (:
    and they're right
    u dont need many friends
    u just need a few good ones
    for they're the ones,
    who will walk with u through ur journey in life.


    and cheryl of course,
    who never fails to cheer me up
    with all the 'jam' jokes and msges (:
    (yaye we look so happy in this photo)


    haha dint take much photos on grad day
    coz im not exactly in a camwhore mood these days
    guess there're just loads of things
    goin thru my head everyday
    just like how im finding it hard to concentrate now


    ohwells e china scholarship results r out today
    and tho i have given it up
    (yep i replied my tchr n din hand in e applications)
    i just cant help but to want to noe e results
    it rly doesn help
    that i just found out ive got e hc diploma with distinction
    i mean that's e main criteria for e scholarship
    and with my tchr's recommendations
    i dint need to be feelin so scared for As.
    but i guess wad's decided's decided
    and i still feel that its a right choice that ive made


    i think staying in spore is good too
    tho sometimes, i still cant help but feel e inner me
    wanting to test my abilities
    and see how far i can go
    something in me is screamin:
    i really do want the scholarship!
    just that im givin it up for my mom
    (since my dad is encouragin me to go overseas)
    (and women are fickle-minded coz she has been
    discussin this issue with me after i gave it up ><)


    haix i guess its not the time to think about this now
    maybe i'll see how again next year
    if my mom is truly happy about me
    having new opportunities overseas
    and feel completely at ease about me not being ard her
    i may eventually go overseas and venture a little
    since i noe that if she isnt,
    i will still  not go anyway.
    as for now,
    i ought to get down to some serious muggin,
    which ive been lacking for quite a while.


    somehow,
    im lacking confidence in myself right now
    totally and completely.
    i have no idea why either
    but i guess its really time to
    just believe in myself
    and strive forward.
    first paper in..
    9 days.
    im counting down.

  • ive finally made my decision.

    now that its decided,
    i can talk about it openly here.
    my major decision
    was about the china scholarship

    yup,e through train to fudan or beijing uni
    i know i have really high chances
    especially after talkin to the teachers

    everyone's talkin about how good the prospects are
    emerging china and its rapid growth,
    it is so much easier to go to
    top western unis like harvard, yale to do ur masters
    if u graduate from these unis
    yw also told me
    how high ur salary can be
    if ure a foreigner workin in china
    after graduating from these unis.

    i know i have a good chance to get in
    and they're all tellin me that
    i have the ability to succeed there
    and yet eventually,
    i chose to give it up.


    it took me many days to think about this
    its just so hard to decide
    that torturing struggle
    between such a good opportunity and so many other factors
    and a tough choice to make
    just a few wks away from As
    (especially since this scholarship
    does not consider ur A lvl results)
    but ive decided,
    to stay in spore
    i guess family is still the most important thing to me

    just like ive said that my goal in life
    is to earn enuf money to give my parents a good life,
    money is not equivalent to happiness
    they rather i stay in spore
    right here by their side

    it really broke my heart
    when i saw my mom cry
    i was only askin her if i shld go
    and she just couldnt bear the thought of it.
    she cried again after i told her i decided to stay
    but this time, my heart felt so much better.


    i guess some people will think that im insane
    there'll also be others who question my choice
    but perhaps everyone has different piorities in life
    and we just ought to be contented with wad we have


    yep. im standing firm to my choice
    for this is my form of happiness.
    money is not the most important
    neither is ambition or status
    the happiest thing anyone can experience,
    is to see ur loved ones happy.


    and now that ive finally decided.
    this is e last day that i shall talk about this
    from tomorrow onwards,
    i shall put this all behind me
    and just strive hard towards As.
    jiayou rachel lim (:
