The Resolve to Do Something
Okay, so I've made a resolution once and for all that I NEED TO UPDATE. I know I've proclaimed this at least a million times since the start of the prehistoric ages and it's growing dry and nobody is going to believe that I'll be capable of sustaining this massive project (I say "MASSIVE" because it does sound like a goliath task to me) of posting more regularly anymore BUT KEEP THE FAITH, guys. I remember Mrs Loke, my TJC principal, encouraging me with those 3 words when she learnt of my prelim results in September 2009 and felt that I was really underperforming. So yes, keep the faith. I know how horrid and distasteful it must sound - that I am going to have to literally force myself to write something here, but I just fed my eyes on a couple of my previous rants and thought to myself: 'hey why did I ever stop writing?!'
SO, HERE I AM. Today, I got my results for Semester 2 after reading a year at NUS FASS, and am pretty relieved that I made it to the 2nd Lower Honour's range after all. And yes I'm going to shamelessly admit that I thought I would hit at least a 4.0 CAP this sem but fell short of it eventually by a little. But that itself is one step up from Semester 1 and my parents are going to reward me handsomely so what's not to like? IKR, this sounds especially juvenile and stupid. Reminds me of the good old times when my mom would actually reward my brothers and me with 20 dollars for every subject that we scored 90 marks and over in Primary School. :D
I think my standard of writing has deteriorated and disintegrated and is now festering like a neglected decaying plant that has neither been watered nor showered with sunlight for a year. Even I feel slightly turned off by it. But pardon me for awhile because I really haven't written in a long time. Writing academic papers is not in my dictionary of "a long time" because to be honest I like to be blatantly truthful and free-styled in the way I write, so journal-writing fits my bill x 1000000.
The rest of today was spent going to Lavender Beach Road to book my holiday with the boyfriend. (: Come early July we're going to Redang Island with the bestie and her boyfriend! So it's kinda like a double-date getaway. Can't wait! Am thoroughly excited right now even as I type. After booking the trip, we went back to TWW's place and watched some TV. T'was really awesome to just hang out and chill at his place, doing nothing and feeling lazy dazy. Had dinner with his family and his parents gave me a lift home after that. His family's really really nice and fun to interact with; I'm thankful for that! By the way, did I tell you I love my boyfriend? Because I do, and I do so very very very much. He's such a sweetie qtpi all the time and he never fails to listen to my grouses and solve my problems (: Such a doting boyfriend; MUST TREASURE HIM ALL THE MORE.
Alright, it's time to hit youtube and dig BEAST's new release "Fiction" again. Have yourselves all a good night.
