Ssh girl, shut your lips.

I think not having Twitter is pretty darn good thing. I feel so much more secure and at ease. I don’t just write a 140 character statement in a fit of anger and hence, no damage is done.

I must be a patient and strong girl.

Keep the flame burning brightly ever.

I’ve looked forward to this day in so many ways but now that the day is here, my emotions are kinda mixed. 3 years have gone by that fast. I remember how reluctant I was in joining SA but deep within me, something told me to stay. Many would have heard me whine and grind about how I regret my experience here but as I look back, I can’t help but think how much SA has matured me into a whole new different person. Whether it’s for the better I don’t know yet but certainly it was God’s way of telling me that I’m indeed destined to do greater things and that I believe in that path so much now that nothing can possibly take my mind away from the prize.

To the (not) many teachers who have made the journey a little more pleasant, to the classmates that have been there, to the friends and the bonds forged, I think I am lucky to be given this opportunity. It certainly hasn’t been the easiest paths what with retaining, a different social culture, cock up school system but hey, I’m here today to say that I did it. I beat the system to emerge a better person.

I look forward to stepping into the school in a few months and to only step out with nothing but smiles with my friends doing the same by my side.

No one is here by chance, it certainly is true.

With 25 more days away to that first glimpse of future, I pray for nothing but perseverance and that God grants all of us the tenacity to do great things with what little time we have. We have come so far and that certainly is a testimony of how much we can achieve.

All the best fellow Saints.

Let the flames begin.

Exactly 1 month from now, I’ll be sitting for my first ever A Level paper.

See you when it’s over.

Break every rule cos there’s nothing between you and your dreams.

In so many ways, seeing that grade on my paper was really gut wrenching. The hurt and disappointment I feel does not even amount to the feelings I had when I failed Promos. Sure, it wasn’t a fail grade but it was below my expectations. Let this be a lesson. To never be complacent, to never let others get in your way, to realize that you’re in power to change. As cliche as all this sounds, I’ve never felt so disappointed with myself and that let this be a lesson learnt.

There are no boundaries.
