I don't live for YOU.
Hi peeps!
Argh Prelims are so close yet the only thing then comes to my mind is basketball. Somehow I am pretty excited for Past Vs. Present (PvP), in hope for some fun which I wont get to enjoy a lot. Hopefully, the team I am in will be able to pull out a few wins.
"I am sure that's what 18 year olds do."
Perhaps you might recognise it, perhaps you might not. But either case, I gave this statement some thought. When I first heard it, I was pretty annoyed by the fact that once again, the person was calling me childish. Then, I thought about it, I wasn't 18 yet anyway. And in about 5 minutes, I took it as a compliment.
If having fun is not what 18 year olds do, then god damn it, I rather not be one. If I can't act like myself and enjoy my own life just to be 18, I rather pass. And if that's not what 18 year olds do, it just means one thing: I am unique. At least, I am not just another brick in the wall. (Ms Yan would be so proud of this statement HAHAHA.) I used to try and follow the lifestyles of others, to ensure that I was not on the wrong track. Now, I have sort of grown out of it. I would rather have my own life of balance between work and fun. And I am pretty sure that maturity does not mean being unable to have fun in our own way. So thank you.
By the way, if you judge people when you dont even know the person, you're headed for trouble. Good luck with life I would say.
I have learnt to keep my mouth shut about opinions of people that I am not really sure about. Until I have some experiences with the person of course, because having been a victim of judgement and opinions made me realised how bad it feels to be judged. Yet at the same time, when everything finally reveals itself, I am proud to say, " Rumours don't stand the test of time, but true character does."
I think it's time I let go of some bullshit that has happened to me in the past. Because somehow, it's affecting the way I handle things recently, AND THAT'S BAD.
As everything draws to an end, like the last day of school on 26/8/2011. Here are some of my thoughts in my class.
We are seperated by the differences that don't exist. We are united just because it's required.
When we start naming each other terms like muggers, looking at our class, everyone is one. I am not saying that because everyone started mugging for A's. I am saying that because it's true. Everyone in 10S74 is a mugger. So why harp on the fact that others are too hardworking for you? Deep down inside, everyone studies hard.
Why discriminate for looks? Are you that perfect? Did they choose to be this way? No. I am sure if they had a choice, they won't, but they have to stick with it for the rest of their life. Yet, we discriminate for that. I may joke about that at times, but I truly know that isn't a cause for hate and despise. Once again before judging, how about taking a good look at your ********? Not so perfect too huh?
Why avoid just beacuse they like to have fun? We have different ways of having fun, just because you don't like it, doesn't mean you have to blast it right at the person. True, it does get out of hand at times, but don't make yourself sound like a saint and criticize. The world could do with more encouragement instead of criticism. I am pretty sure of it.
So at the end of the day, everyone was just as childish, hardworking and ugly.
If you are offended or don't like it, I am sorry. These are just opinions from my experiences, you may have looked at it from a different point of view, but you can't deny there is some truth within those words.
All in all, a memorable experience, yet not one I want to relive.
As the time ticks, I flash-backed to all the memorable times. Only to find, none at all.
That's all for today,
See Ya.
