catching up
Saturday, January 26, 2008

I've been gone to long, coming home everyday for the past week at 10pm+. So now it's time to catch up on the week and finally get down to packing. Every night I came home for the past week, Joseph was already in bed snoring away so I had to ditch my bag, bathe and get to sleep for the next morning's 5.30am.

Monday was hectic, with the day ending at a late 6+, and tutorials to cram in. Tuesday was spent looking for a present for a new friend's birthday, and Wednesday after Tennis, the celebration.

Then came Thursday. The anxiety was surmounting to a heart attack, and my heart was thumping like the beat of war drums. When Joseph's name flashed for the top student, my reaction was that of part jubliance, part jealousy. That soon died down, but when I got my results I broke down.

Comparison is not a healthy thing. It eats your emotions from joy to despair, and can crumble the strongest of man. Competition is good for some, and I can only hope that the success of my friends would spur me on.

I had 12 points, and I'm firm on sticking on to TPJC. Must have been cause it has grown on me, but the shabby facade that I once thought was omnipresent in the school is fading, literally. A new sprawling green lawn of faux grass spans the field, and the walls and railings are being coated with fresh layers of paint. Although the campus may not be new, it certainly has attached to me. A sense of belonging.

Another reason is for the bonds that have been forged there already, and the familiarity of the campus. I don't want myself going to a new instituition and having to readjust to the surroundings. can take a while ya know, say a week or two, and by then real lessons would have long started.

So here're a few pictures that I've accumulated thanks to my initiative of lugging a camera along nearly everday. Enjoy. For the bottom few, that's Sabrina and Shermaine, from Hai Sing Catholic. *wink*


A candid shot, I asked that James of AV not to take while I was on the phone. -.-



Perhaps he was thinking deeply of his future? Of his 10 points? or maybe the Convent Girls from a floor down attracted his attention.



Exchanged phone battery covers with Sabrina. :D



Shermaine's Birthday, which we rushed madly for to plan and celebrate.



Lemon cheescake! :P



Shermaine, Cheryl, Sabrina. =D
