Live life to the fullest
Okie... right now, every thing's over, settled.
Done my JAE exercise... Its not confirmed but most likely i'll be able to get into the course I want in a polytechnic. My life after O levels has been an eye-opener. Somehow, now i prefer lesser ad lesser things. For example, last time, i do not usually wish to go to the library, much less borrow books for my studies. Now? I'm going to the library to borrow research materials and "insights" to my course, Chemical and Bio-molecular Engineering. Its like the time when we used to run around during recess has faded to the quiet serenity of your own room.
Somehow, I did well as compared to my peers but somehow I do not feel as contented as I ought to. I ought to be jumping with joy with a smile on my face everywhere i go, but it seems rather annoying to me that my mind wanders away to studies and material gains in my life. There were people who advised me against going to a poly, yet there were others who encouraged me to get into one since i had an idea of what i want to do in the future. Last time people said that JC were considered the elite ones, as compared to preset where graduates from either sides have much of a fair chance in their next level of education, University.
Yes I admit that previously Jc always has an extra edge over poly students, but the fact that local universities are now opening up spaces for poly students sends a strong signal to me, and the rest of Singapore, that poly has made a mark of excellence for themselves. Perviously when Singapore was still a developing country, JC was the only way to go as there was no polytechnics yet. Until the government decided to step in. So the older generation has a preconceived mindset that poly were for school drop-outs and that the "normal" route was the college education. Times have changed though.
Now JC graduates are labelled as "lost" or "blur" on what to do in their lives, while on the other hand, Poly students are looked upon as people with determination and hard-work. Or at least thats what i want to be looked up as and hence I'm going to prove the older generation wrong and I'm gonna make a mark of myself upon society and upon the lives of people.
Now settled into my new house, my parents are faring much better as compared to when we were at the city area. The air here is much cleaner, or would be if there wasn't a construction site next to us. Anyways, plenty of green scenery and gardens surrounds this little haven of ours, making it pretty green and fresh.
Gonna end of here after a couple of thank you.
1st i wanna thank God for pulling me through this phase of my life. And as i enter a whole new chapter, I pray hard that he would aid me as he aided me though my secondary school life.
2nd, I want to thank my parents and teachers for their enduring support for an average student like me. Parents and teachers alike, they gave me the support and the chiding meted out on me as appropriate.
3rd, My dear friends that give me the life that i have now. Without them i wouldn't dare to have dreamt of entering a institution like this. Without their continuos support and sudden out burst of randomness, I would not have become who I am. It is a very true thing that your friends will greatly influence your life, perhaps even more than what your parents and teachers can do to change you. For good or for worse, I would always remember a few names.
