Turning Point

Bonsoir, good evening.

It's been an eventful and enlightening year previously. 2007 had taught me things I've never learnt before, nor shall I forget, for it taught me the hard way: regret, sorrow, anxiety. Things like:

Don't follow the bloody crowd, you'll only end up regretting it for life. My sis told me that before, but I didn't heed her words well. Now I regret it.

Joining the TJC Wushu team too hurriedly without even finding out exactly what it was in wushu that I was looking for, and TJC Wushu couldn't provide what I was seeking in wushu. I left the wushu team, but sorrow lingers.

Not planning well for the future, and now I stand on a solitary iceberg melting in the middle of the Atlantic. Anxiety flourishes as I fret not getting a boat to Greenland.

Oh well. It's just the University of Life, and I'm probably just into year one out of sixty, and it's a bloody school of hard knocks. Repeat for emphasis: HARD knocks. The lessons drive down hard and painful, but at least you're once bitten, twice shy. Hmm, I think I'm starting to sound weird here. Screw it. I'm probably eccentric anyway.

Nevertheless, I learnt pretty much the previous year, maybe not as much as I had learnt in my four years in VS, but definitely the lessons that are hardest to take. VS taught me values. TJC? Taught me that the world loves to be an asshole. Also learnt that choices are made by oneself, not chosen for you by others, otherwise you'll end up screwing yourself bad and end up on an iceberg in the middle of a magma ocean, and no boat will save you from your misery either. Well, I guess this boils down to something: make sure you know what you're getting into before you dive in. It's pretty self-explanatory, but I ignored it, and I'm left in this sorry state. Oh well. And I seem to be ranting as well, heheh. I still have choices left open to me, and I have chosen what I will want, and now is the necessary action left, to grasp the chance while it presents itself, before it turns into a wisp of smoke.

Still, pretty glad that I've met a great bunch of people from TJC, like my classmates, schoolmates, etc. When I shall leave TJC, one day or another, I will forget TJC, forever. The only thing I shall remember from this instituition, are the people I have met there, those that I consider friends. This post is getting real long. I should be ending off soon.

Good night, sleep well. The sun shall shine again the next day, and I'll be skipping school tomorrow. XD
