The recent tide of events have been really saddening for me and i learnt several lessons from these events. Firstly, as quoted from kevin's blog, "If you are reading this you should know how very lucjy you are to be alive and well". Most people nowadays are too hooked up and engrossed in their daily work or activities that they forget to stop and think about their own lives (me included). They do not know that as each minute, each second passes, their lives are shortened by a second, a minute or maybe more. Some people do not treasure their lives until the last minute, and in the end they die in regret. Therefore, from now on, I will treasure my life more often, try not to play too much basketball in the sun and if I can, take a break from my hectic lifestyle and go outdoors, sit on a bench and appreciate the beauty that is actually all around us. I also offer my condolences to both boys' parents and hope that they will not grieve too much and move on in their lives. Secondly, this brings me to my next and last lesson, which is not to be too emotionally attached to people or things, or it will be hard to let them go in the future. I learnt this the hard way. Of course, I will not be anti-social and continue to try and make more friends, but I will not make any close or good friends (partly because no one wants to be :P but who cares!?), for it will be easier for me to let go of my feelings when I need to. I know I learnt all these before in lessons, but this is the time that I will be putting it to practical use. Maybe next time I will be a bachelor, living my life alone in one peaceful corner of the world, free from work and stress and distractions... But now I will just concentrate on my school life which is really getting out of control, due to my resolution to be (pretence only) enthu in my CCA. So far I join like two major activities already, and they take up my Wednesdays and Fridays... hope they wont take up more than three. Then there is this SMP which is making my brain cells die, since it is quite hard to think of a way to monitor the water quality that has never been used. But I will still strive on, because whenever there is a will there will be a way. So now I will emo and think of my work-plan and distribution...
(P.S. any groups in RGS also go Sembawang? If there are any, did you all see the message Amundsen and Columbus left in pottery? haha...)
