Ah priorities. Priorities of life. So complicated, yet at times, it's actually very easy to prioritize, if you know how to do it right.
Well this age of ours now, in JC and stuff, it's so much more complicated than when I and most of my friends were in single-sex schools. Its not so much just about BGR and what have you, there are other things to consider too. Just normal friendships with the opposite sex is quite a matter in itself, let alone talking about BGR. That, could take forever to argue and talk about.
Hmm, there's much frustration and disappointment recently. And I'm not even getting to academics and studies... There are some who try, most who fail, and who's fault is that? I'm not going to answer that though, well mostly 'cos I can't. Most I know would probably agree with me that we'd all wish it was easier. Wish life was just so much simpler, less stressful, less focus on studies, more on our days as youths, before we head out to the real world in a couple of years time. We aren't going to get a second chance to live this 20 year supposedly happy period of our lives.
Remember the times we always wanted to become an adult. Work, earn our own money. Do our own things. Have our own fun. Well, now I wish I can study forever, without the financial worries and whatevers the future has to throw at me. I wish I could go back to Sec 2, change some of my decisions. I wish I could be back in Cath High, doing CHMA, having fun with my iMedia peeps and 4-4 crazy dudes of a class. I wish I could go back to P6, go back to the times when we played soccer almost everyday. Well ever since 2-6's very own Frank Lampard left for NZ, and in Sec 3-4 we never played soccer during recess anymore, well.. my stomach appeared. (Out of nowhere!!) And just have those small quarrels and 'fights' between classmates and cliques. Just talking bullshit, talking about girls, talking about soccer. Just have a go at each other once in a while, and best of all, just spend quality time with each other. Quality time doesn't include studying, AT ALL, period.
Now there's so much restrictions. Oh, remember those times, when June was really a holiday? June 2002, to a certain extent June 2006, I get to watch the World Cup, without much pressure or stress to go study, 'cos studies weren't so important then. PSLE? Well you could flunk but get into a decent secondary school. 'O's? It was in another 1.5 year time. No fret, still had time. Heh. The other Junes, were just slacking at home, playing, watching the TV (yes P1-P6 was Kids Central dominated, remember that?), going out a couple times, chalets, camps, useless lessons where I would only go just to go see my classmates. Now for the last June and this, last year was Common Test, 15% of Promos, and this year, BT2, nothing to count to 'A's, but a good indicator of where I stand, so it's been mug, mug, mug, study, study, study.
So yup, it's our last year in this education system we've been stuck in for the past 11.5 years now. After that, it's another 2 years of brainless activity aka NS. Then it's on-your-own education. And that's when I'm intending to spread my wings and fly..... IF I can. That's my last chance, after that, my youth is over, and I'd probably never have another chance at living the
real part of something neatly called...
Life.
