Remember those days where we ran around the school fields or courts, happily playing a game that we have lovingly came to know as 'catching'. Well, the carefree primary school days might be long over, but here I am playing a new and improved version called 'catching-up'. Procrastination has stained my education life ever since i set foot in VS. Call it the Very Slack culture or simply, I guess I found life beyond the books. Nevertheless, it's only personal responsibility that when the time comes, I should restrain myself... with ropes and chains if necessary. No prizes for guessing I didn't.
Now I embark on this painful journey that leaves me in the dust of my peers, digging up yesterday's notes and reading it as though it is a newly given piece of study material. I am sick feeling stupid in every Chemistry tutorial as my teacher discusses Aldehydes, Ketone and god knows what else. The blankness is terrifying. Okay, this may sound arrogant and snobbish. But I'm going to say it anyway, I know I am more than capable of handling all these knowledge with relative ease... if I put in the required effort. I have enough intellect in me, unlike many I do not have to resort to desperate study methods aka mugging. Mugging can make any stupid person achieve grades. Studying smart defines a smart person.
Last night was a cold and rainy night, but it was great. Dinner at Jumbo cause mother told dad that she felt like having Shark's Fin. It was actually the first time in 18 years that I have gone to Jumbo on a rainy night. The strong howling winds and the random splashing of rainwater did not bother me one bit. Curiousity ticked as some weird hope of just jumping into the choppy sea in a bid to swim to the horizon just to see the Edge of The World. Fantasy you say, but I guess it's things like this that just keep me ticking and ironically, sane.
Hello Studying, remember me?
You're good, everybody knows that. Hardwork got you where you are today, the evils of fate robbed you of one last hurrah. It might not have been a rosy 2 years on the pitch, but you had 4 years of glory that many have longed for. It's not easy to look back and focus on the positives but you're always steadfast and I believe now is no exception. If you think you've been crippled of your best talent, think again. 6 years ago did you even think you had such potential in you? You worked hard for it, and now, I guess maybe it's time to move on and find the next of your myriad of untapped strengths. You were the one who taught me to believe in myself, maybe it's time I try to return that favour.
...Being afar doesn't mean I've lost sight. I never will.

Protein you say. Taking quite a bit for gyming, but guess I'll spam on it for now on. Damn, I can't believe you're so lucky to go NS earlier than all of us.
