Reflection, on the past 10 months

Ah, it will soon rear its ugly (not) head. The exam that will determine what I'll be doing in the next two years. I've been rather placid about it lately, something that surprises the banana me (yes, I admit).

Perhaps because I know that I've prepared for it reasonably well, there being little more I could do. Or perhaps I'm just resigned to whatever outcome it will be.

I'm not too exactly content with my academic performance thus far, knowing that I could have done much better. Funny how it is a performance. Am I struggling too hard to reach my parents' expectations? No, there have been no expectations from them, except to do my best. Or are these my own expectations? These results, being the fruit of my anxiety? Oh well, someone has at least reminded me that grades do not determine who I am.

But as strange as it may seem, I appear to not do as well when I'm really trying hard. Perhaps, I need to trust God more, put my faith in Him, and cast all anxiety and care unto Him. Yes, New Year's resolution. Preconceptions of what I should be or be doing, out of the window, if you will. (Haha.)

Nonetheless, it's back to Math this holiday.

I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math, I love Math. Yes.

It will be an OB trip soon, somewhere deep in the uninviting forests of Malaysia. Heard so many horror stories, but let me not get negative. I do hope to enjoy myself there, and I will NOT listen to the tongues (let me see who... ) that try to dissuade me from doing so. But ya, someone remind me to take the malaria pills.

And that would also signal (sort of) the end of another school year. Met a lot of nice and not-so-nice people, but I will miss each one, as I realise there will be some whom I may never get to see any longer, some whom I will see only once in a blue moon, some whom I may forget. Sadded. Maybe I should do some sort of documentation of each person on this blog.

Hoping to spend more time with my family this end of the year, especially my parents and siblings (Ok, that's basically my family). My parents have been supportive of me, even when I chose to undertake an Arts combination (even though MOE says it's a mixed combination, I still think it's Arts), and they've been caring. My brother, well, let's just say he's become more independent and assertive, which is not necessarily a bad thing, really.

Ah, and I'm reminded of family warmth, as my sister doodles on.

"What colour would you want your shirt to be?"
And I answer, "Red, like yours."

PS Her Engrish is that good, ok. Never mind. And red is nice.
