Hmm I guess the situation is almost the same with everyone whom I've asked, exception being a few individuals in the class:

Everyone seems to want to just get promos over and done with, and not really caring how they do. Not really true lar, I'm sure everyone wants to do well, but the value of promos, to me, simply pales in comparision with the AO Chinese paper and PW. But if there's one thing I dread, its getting retain. That would really be unbearable. I wouldn't mind one more year in VJ, but I would hate one more year with people whom I dunno while everyone else goes further up. And if I fail my Chinese again, I'm NOT going to retake. It'll be done, finished, fertig, finito.

There's so little time to do your own stuff now. And there are so many things piling up. I'm beginning to appreciate lunch and dinner more cos at least I can read other things besides my notes. For goodness sake, its been about 7 months and I'm still blur about Kinetic Theory! Although I'm beginning to make headway in Thermodynamics.

Just now I was reading The Lord of the Rings during dinner, and after I finished, to maximise my leisure time I walked to the sink holding the plate in one hand and reading the book which was in the other.

I found out to my cost that its not smart to do that when you live in a house with 4 cats. Kit (the brown and white one) intercepted my foot while I crossed the doormat to the kitchen and nearly sent me flying. He, of course, flew in the opposite direction, to avoide a falling volume of LOTR.

But a few happy things happened to take my mind off the stress. First, the shirt design was approved by Mr Tan. After Victoria and I loitered outside the General Office for 5 min wondering how phrase our sentences, we went in and managed to get the request out. It was simpler than we thought, wahaha.

Second, several of my prayers for myself as well as for other people have been answered, thank God. Yup, thats a good thing... haha... Today's church service was good too... Someone prayed for me to have more wisdom and discernment (however you spell it) when treating other people, something which I sorely need. It came at a time of my life when I was feeling sorely let down by my need for visual signs from other people before I can tell whether they're happy or not. Most other people, it seems can just tell simply at a glance.

There are still many questions about personality, the way one treats others blahblah which I still need to find out for myself. But we'll settle SPA first yar.

Happy belated birthday, Tintin!
Happy early birthday, Alon!
