End of 2007
Monday, December 31, 2007
This is the end of 2007, so I think I should reflect on the year, 2007.
FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANNA READ LONG STORIES OR IS INTERESTED IN MY HISTORY, DON'T READ ON!2007 started out with me, mugging my guts out. Okay, I did try to mug, but I failed miserably. How was I suppose to know that my addiction to anime and computer games would persist to the year 2007, despite my efforts to quench it under the bowells of my homework. gone are the piles of incompleted homework that I left on the third room's table.
SO yeah, I got a study group, got yonglun to teach me chinese and Jimmy to teach me POA. My maths, which has been failing persistently, year after year, has me cowering over my fuure as an actor.
Then theres mindchamps, which kept me occupied and stress free during the first quarter of my year. It got me looking forward to a saturday, where fun awaits. Its propably the most enjoyable course that I ever have. There are events in my life that I can classify as Life changing. And this is one of them.
Then there's empower u. Which was awesome, mainly becuase I got chosen to be an assist, rather than volunteering myself like so many have.
So, when Mindchamps ended, my life basically went downhill. School work, more school work, exam stress, failure to excell in my chinese and Maths, failure to overcome my weakness. Pushed to the limits by my classmates (mostly gangsters) and being incapable of studying at home.
Thoses days were horrid... and the only person that told me to persevere was Jesus.
The week before O levels saw me rushing through my work, last minute. I'll be extremely honest with you. I never, truely, studied for my O level. Only picked up a book, and pretend to study. Or just read the same chapter a dozen times till my head starts to nod off.
Last minute. Typical Saint Gabriel boy.
My prelims was bad. failed my humanities and english. failed everything. Still didn't wake up till the last month.
Then it was study, study, study.
There have been nights where I simply broke down. I would cry, and then pray, and then cry somemore.
But after a while, I got used to it. Now I know how geeks feel. I have this problem where I cannot study at home. My brother would play computer games while I'm hard at work, and at times, got me jealous.
You can say that the best thing and the worst thing that could happen to me, happened in 2007. Knowing Mindchamps got me to know many other friends. Thank you Jesus. When I was lonely, you comforted me. When I was sad, you brought a smile in my face. When I was scared, you instilled courage in my heart. You brought Joy during my darkest moments, and I shall thank you for fullfilling last year's resolution.
Thank you for bringing me to cats. Thank you for my family. Thank you for my cousin. Thank you for everything. Amen.
