I think I am the most tactless person on earth. But when I see someone going thru what I have gone thru, my heart just breaks, and I can't stop myself from doing all I can to hold her back from the same treacherous path. And in my eagerness to do so, I can become really harsh. So to you, and you know who you are, I'm sorry. Very sincerely so.

I guess I just wanna say this: believe in yourself. In the hard work you have put in, in the passion you have for what you do. Don't let your frustrations get in the way and mess up your plans. In the short term, you may not see any likelihood of lifting yourself above your current situation, but tell yourself this: everything I do now adds up -- every single stroke I make count, counts towards that final 300 / 600 I will row on race day, and every single fear I overcome and push aside makes me stronger against the pressure brought on by my opponents. Yes, we all feel frustrated when we don't row our best, but let it go, leave it in the water and hold your head high. It doesn't serve you favourably to let your emotions overcome you and make you act irrationally. When you feel like you're in danger of doing so, take a break and you'll be able to see more clearly and find out what's wrong more quickly. It's like.. like you've walked into an obstacle and if you're in a hurry to get to your destination, you'd get really frustrated. That's normal, but what not to do is to start hammering away at the obstacle and charging at it like a bull; if you could calm down, and take a step back, and look up, you'll see it's just a short wall that you could've flipped over easily.. Do you know what I mean? It's a stupid analogy, but yah..

So here's to the 3 of us, 01, 02 & 03! :) We'll get there, I know we will.

But because there is no such thing as the perfect race, man can only go faster. (One big splash and a reminder)

To everyone who's hurting
To those who've had enough
To all the undeserving
That should cover all of us
Please do not let go
I promise there is hope

Hold fast
Help is on the way
Hold fast
He's come to save the day
What I've learned in my life
One thing greater than my strife
Is His grasp
So hold fast

Will this season ever pass?
Can we stop this ride?
Will we see the sun at last?
Or could this be our lot in life?
Please do not let go
I promise you there's hope

You may think you're all alone
And there's no way that anyone could know
What you're going through
But if you only hear one thing
Just understand that we are all the same
Searching for the truth
The truth of what we're soon to face
Unless someone comes to take our place
Is there anyone?
All we want is to be free
Free from our captivity, Lord
Here He comes

Hold Fast MercyMe

OH AND I MUSN'T FORGET THIS:
THANK YOU GOD..
For my first A-level A -- for PW!! YAYYYYYYYYY!! :)
And for bringing me thru CT1 with a B in GP, B in E Lit, C in Chi Lit (Could've been B!! But it's ok, too great an improvement would be suspicious I guess.. HAHA), D in Econs, and S in Math (My bad for not practicing enough, admin's bad for arranging for Chi Lit and Math to be on the same day! :}).
YAYY not superb but I did put in a lot of hard work and mum knows that.. So my derrière is now firmly planted in Gideon Jnr 'cause she has too much respect for me now to kick me out ;) HAHA
