So... I'm back. Well, sort of at least. It's been getting progressively harder throughout the years to keep up my Dear Diary style of blogging because, contrary to popular belief, post-A's is NOT slack. At least to me it isn't. Anyway there's no way I can recount everything that's happened over the past 1 and a half months - it's amazing to flip open my monthly planner and see almost every little box filled with special appointments.
Anyway it's been so good to have finally gotten our A's results back. I was gonna say that the pressure's off and it's another burden I've gotten off my shoulders, but the mere thought of the immense amount of work I've got to do for uni apps and all made me reconsider that. Strangely enough, there wasn't a huge wave of euphoria for me in that hall... more like just relief. There were a lot of surprises, with some really really huge ones. I think I probably surprised myself more than anyone, but it was still a good enough surprise for me :) And I suppose it also helped that I started getting my parents mentally prepared for the worst (ie. to fail at every subject except for GP) a week prior to the release of the results.
The following night, we had an awesome class dinner. Okay to be accurate, mini-class dinner. I miss my classmates so so much :( It's really saddening to know that in a year's time, most of them would've moved on with their own lives and even if we tried, we'll probably only ever have an extra-mini-class dinner at best :( But I guess I can take comfort in the knowledge that there'll definitely be friends who will always be there for me whenever & wherever :) Anyway Mr Faizad treated us to awesome chocolate dessert at Max Brenner's after dinner. Yummm :D
A couple of days ago, my family went for a buffet at the Swissotel to celebrate my bro's birthday & to give my sis some sort of a farewell. This may sound really trivial & random, but it really reminded me that despite all our personal pursuits, we should still try to set aside time to be spent with family - something which I think I have failed at in the past few months. When I was much younger, going out on weekends was strictly not allowed (I probably imposed this rule on myself haha) cause weekends are for family. It then gradually degenerated to "Sunday is family day" where Saturdays were meant for going out and not for staying home. And then comes this year. This year it dwindled down to almost nothing at all, which really makes me wonder what on earth happened to my principles.
I also really hate the way life is now, cause right now, it's nothing but one big mess full of a million complications. It's so hard to plan for the future, did you know? :(
