It has been donkey years since I posted or let alone visit this ancient piece of history. Reminiscing on all the previous posts and the nostalgic past make me miss the times where the world was our oyster and we had the luxury of prancing around living carefree lives.

JC is really a huge jump from Sec School; never had I felt so pressured and compelled to study before in my life. Never in my life would I have thought that I would actually pick up a book and study it whole heartily. Being in the tertiary education, it's a dog-eat-dog world in this urban concrete jungle. The quest for straight As still prevail in modern Singapore today. Sometimes I really wonder if everything we do based on the system is really relevant and beneficial. It's not within myself to be able to stomach the fact that I'll be fervently studying and constantly revising the subjects given my procrastinating nature and my lackadaisical attitude. But in order to not get eaten, I think that's the best and only solution. After witnessing first hand last year's batch of students receiving their results, I felt very compelled to work hard. But action speak louder than words; by merely just studying would probably garner you a pass grade. University admissions are sky high accepting no less than straight As. So where do those destitute individuals go? It's really very saddening to see students break down in front of your very eyes. This two short "crash-course" years will probably determine your future per se.

Breaking boundaries and overcoming obstacles are gonna be tough no doubt. Guess I just have to push myself and do sth I have never attempted or thought of doing before in my entire life: to study hard. It's now or never; you are as strong as your weakest link. By God's grace I hope I'll be able to put through this turbulent times and emerge victorious albeit adversities, then only can I look back and say that I have indeed did sth with my life.

Studies, is it all there is to life? :/
