breathe the air, enjoy the sun, savour your life.
I used to have huge ambitions... or rather expectations of myself... at a point when i was to make a huge life changing decision back in 1998.. (wow.. that was like what.. SEVEN years ago?)
I can remember clearly then, what my goals were. I wanted to study hard in JC.. play even harder, take up triple science and eventually go into medicine in University. I remembered back then that i had half a mind to be a gynecologist cos they seemed to earn big bucks with minimum working hours. And this was not all. I wanted to continue to be a school team basketballer while joining either the students councillor and play a 'BIG' role like some head or something or join the JC outdoor activities club. And i wanted to juggle a nice sweet relationship at the same time.
Haha.. sounds incredible rite... of cos i couldn't achieve all that.. but i did managed to have some really nice memories of that 2 years of my life.
Coming into Nus, I just wanted to make new friends and enjoy myself at the same time... juggle my studies and not flop too badly. But i can fully understand what you are yearning for and why so. From your past glory days.. I noe you are yearning for that passion once again.
What impresses me is actually your conviction and commitment when you participate in yur stuff. I must say I only commit when I enjoy what i'm doing.. and it usually relies on either the activity or the company that i'm in or a combination of both. You, you are different. Your sincerity and commitment have probably reached out and touched more pple than you will ever know. I recall the haunted LT that we did.... and the huanted toilet. I thought that you were just one of those 'enthu types' but after knowing you and how timid you can be when it comes to the supernatural, I applaud you for your commitment to the cause of just making orientation fun for the freshies. And knowing you alot more now, i can just picture how you will always put on a smile and energetic face in whatever you have done... open house, matriculation, camps, programmer, welfare and even now cheerleading. No complains.. just sincere commitment. I dare say not many pple can live their life with as much belief as you do.
I must say I'm really glad that you have taken the path you took... missing the sports camp and such.. and failing to meet the 'sports' pple and failing to join a sport... cuz who noes you might just be a sports club fanatic or a floorball girl, and 7 days a week stuck at src with all yur 'like-minded' kahkis.... rushing off for trainings and hanging out after school with them... for if you have taken that route, probably you will not be who you are today.
Then again, because of the path you took, here you are. As you said.. you found your place in M.E. You can talk your talk, and behave like yourself.
And because of this path that you took, it happen to run across mine.
For that, I have heaven to thank for and I think this will be my passion, commitment and gratification for my life in NUS.
