| Something that just dawned upon me.. |
| 4.7.04 |
- - it just hit me how hard life is going to be here. HOnestly. The amount of work and time that other things take up.
If anyone had told me i was going to be studying in Singapore after my sec years,i would have probably laughed at that person in his face. Then applying for the scholarship [actually my parents applied for me] i thought
"haha. hey yeah.. maybe.. but not likely... no harm TRYING"
Then it was like a dream. i though about how things would be like studying overseas as a scholar. how its would be very university like, how i would study really hard (snoooort*) and excel really well. AND when i got that letter of acceptance providing the ASEAN thing, it seemed like all that was gonna be real!! i packed in 4 days and was here on Christmas Day.
So now, here. 6 months later and one common test done, which btw was terrible but thats no surprise. Truly a wake up call from the 'slack' life before. i realise now what teachers meant when they said we were spoon fed. i guess its also partly because A levels IS like DUH harder than before. But its also a very singaporean thing. one of my Singaporean friends said the other day "you see, we're ( S'pore) just an island, so small and we have nothing! except people...so that has to be really something precious"
Singapore really drives you to the limit, and when the pace of life pushed you down with your face in the dirt, you are expected to get up, continue, and push on harder. its hard on everyone, but the students here are already used to it.
That is exactly what we are supposed to do. TO keep on going, fighting on. Without complaints as that just leads to self pity and also discourages [and some would say shows weakness]. I say, distracts you from the tasks at hand. its easy to feel sorry for yourself.
Hearing some teachers speak the other day, i felt like crying. perhaps from the pressure. i myself am not sure. what i do know is,i will strive on. Relying on God, for with Him all things are possible and He gives me strength.
Am i being silly? No. I'm doing what it takes to survive.
