写一首歌给你
琴声中轻轻地 轻轻地告诉你
一季节的美丽
写一首歌给你
在耳畔悄悄地 悄悄地告诉你
一世界的美丽
写一首歌给你 唱出我的心意
把欢乐的情绪 洒遍了大地
把那绿草青青 把那细雨滴滴
收集在琴声里
写一首歌给你

Life life life life
Life seems to go into grey mode ever since I was made the Presiding Examiner for the school. Waking up at 5am daily and leaving the house by 6am and the earliest timing to reach home was 530pm. Makes you feel like you are totally zapped off the world besides doing your job. It is a rather demoralizing task to undertake, a lot of work, not much of people accrediting you... and to make it worse, there must be loads of people who will be hating you for it, with all the scoldings and naggings that you have to do.
After work, you don't feel like doing anything else, you just want to go home, and you just want to do nothing.
Thus it was with this setting that I went on to still participate in the New Balance Real Run this year. It was a terrible mistake to not keep up with the training, the run almost made me stop with all the seemingly endless distance and the terrible terrible heat. But I told myself that I must not stop; giving up is like saying i surrender, and that is something that is very unlike me. So it was with great effort and pain when the finishing line was finally crossed, and I am glad to say that it was an hour and 41 mins... way below expectations, but relieved in a sense that i had overcame, and i did not walk, no matter how slow i had been.
So now its on to the Standard Chartered, and i hope this time round, it would not be as painful as the previous!

污泥
有一些人就是如此的没有责任感。
有一些人天生就是注定要吃许多的苦头。
今天突然有一个很奇怪的想法：若是身边的人都是不诚实和没有使命感的一群，那么至少我要成为其中的荷花……出污泥而不染。
这样才会是有意义的人生吧？

Philosophy of Life?
Was talking to T today and sort of got to the conclusion that life is not always a bed of roses. Sounds sort of cliche but nevertheless it is a very real thing that we face nowadays. Sort of realised that Singaporeans always expect things to come fully done and prepared for them no matter which aspect of life.
Then we came to talk about Mr Q and figured that he was so jovial most likely because he must have had seen worser things back home than in Singapore; which explains why he can be facing unsatisfactory situations with a relatively lighter heart.
Maybe sometimes we must learn to handle things before we complain and refuse to do them. If we learn to handle, things will be more likely to get settled. If we refuse to handle, things may get better or they may get worse. Hence maybe the former will be a better way of life, don't you agree?

First Uninterrupted 10km Run!
First undisturbed 10km run with my heart rate monitor! Let's look at the statistics...
In zone at 80 - 90% maximum heart rate (MHR) for 49 mins and 22 seconds
Average Heart Rate was 163 beats per minute
Peak Heart Rate was 177 beats per minute
Minimum Heart Rate was 107 beats per minute
Total Calories Burnt was 1007
Total time for the approximately 11km run was 57:32:41
and of course not to mention the aches and pains :p

坚持
朋友说35岁以前，他要月入为五位数的薪金；所以现在辛苦拼搏，忙碌自修、学习办公室政治都是必要的技能。也许出自对好友的关切，他奉劝我也应当如此，特别于人与人之间的沟通必须再三磨练。
但有意义的人生真是如此吗？

Life without your Form Class
So it was monday and it was already a bit lost in feeling... guess life goes a little weird without having the class around.
Used to feel stressed when there are always things to settle, the perpetually late people to settle, lessons to be learnt, values to impart, and today seemed sorta different, though it doesn't get any easier in the admin part of work.
Morning had to switch the computer to PC mode and the stupid cockpit system keeps giving problems, then there was a stressful phonecall to handle, admin from NPCC stuff again, marking for paper 2 of the chinese papers for sec 3s and before you know it, there was the long journey to make to MOE HQ for the O Level Examination briefing.
Yes, i am very suay to kenna Presiding examiner for the Os in the school, and the mere repeating of the instructions took an hour and a half! Few times into the very important briefing was my mind wondering and i had to ask Miss Toh what happened. Sheezz... now feeling unwell again, hopefully i don't fall sick!
And the new balance run is coming in less than 3 weeks! I hope i can survive the 15km!

Leavers' Ceremony
So today was Leavers' and it were really many significant moments of thought:
J came and talked to me, and for the first time, i did not scold him anymore. I told him that he must not think too little of himself and make sure he does well for his exams. Somehow i think there is this part in him that will attain excellence.
Some of the people from the form class came and said that they were very appreciative and that made me really really glad; although sometimes many things do not have to come from the mouth, they still do sound more attractive when in fact they do.
I told 4G that maybe we will not be seeing each other anymore for the rest of our lives.
I actually blurted out onstage that i love the class! haha
4G did not shout when singing the school song on the last day of school! That was quite a nice surprise as i did not expected that.
I seem to have a lot of confidence in them.
Many lingered after the event and we took many photos!\
Did i say 4G is the best class ever? :)

收获与否
And thus things just went their natural course when i decided to share my feeling of helplessness with 4G.
In the end the conclusion was that we will study hard no matter what; because we will never know when the exact moment will be when we will finally see the "light" in the subject of study.
As long as it did, the effort was every much worth it. It took me till JC2 to overcome my barrier in doing maths but eventually i got to enjoy it at university.
So thus i wished them better luck and earlier dates to finally see the lights! LOL

离别
And so Leaver's Ceremony is coming on the 5th of this month.
Almost time to say goodbye.
To the bright futures that await and dreams that are to be fulfilled.
To ponder back on the things we have faced, be them conquered or overwhelmed.
To say good luck to friends.
To wish the ever best to one another's future endeavours.
And so soar do we.
