20061027 - running away or smashing it head on?
Was talking to Janice online today. Where the conversation was brought from whether or not can check SAT scores online if you didn't register for it online, to the current situation she and some other people i know are in....the A LEVELS! Woohooo!
The joy of A levels...seems so familiar to me. Oh wait, i just got done with it a year ago. Fwah, it's already been a year! So this is kinda going out to my tennis friends who will be taking their first (of many) papers in a week or less!
So, A levels is just another sidewalk to walk on along the streets you may call 'Life'. Right now, this sidewalk's gonna meet a road, and you either cross it or run away. Cross it, and you'll be on track for whatever you wanna do. Run away, and you realize you'll still have to cross that road if you wanna get to your goals. If you think it's hard for you now, ask the people who went through the A's. Most of them would have similar feelings like "Oh i felt lethargic/weak/distracted the week before A's and i just felt very unprepared". Just don't let that feeling break your spirit and ask yourself, how many people are NOT prepared for A's? Nobody would dare to NOT be prepared for their A's. So it's not a matter of whether you're prepared or not.
Unless of course, they've got another route already planned and decided upon. But just know that you guys are prepared and the lethargy/distractedness is more often than not due to the worry of A's being so near and has NOTHING to do with being unprepared. If you're a normal, sane person..you'd be thinking this : "Wah crap, we just finished our tennis season awhile ago and now it's A's already..jialat". But that's reality..time flies and doesn't wait for your teensy a**es to catch up. Just turn the 'time-flying' thing to your advantage --- In no time, A's will be over and you'll have half a year of time to kill and rot away.
But for now - The time has come for you to cross that road.
But if you still find it hard to push yourself over this final hurdle..just think of this la:
Use the knowledge that you can see me after the A's as Motivation! :)
Remember, "The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak, became a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong."
Anyways, if you want my personal experience....i just plowed through my A's and Cambridge didn't even know what hit them. So they thought 'Wah this guy is newsworthy' so they gave me BBC lor...just like the British Broadcast Company. Ha ha ha ha ha. Funny right....?
Eh and does this look like me?! Wah how can Byrant randomly come up with the idea in class that i look like this?! Hmm..i'm that cute meh? HEHE. Just kidding.
But i wonder why i never got into the Pokemon craze. But i guess i was into the ProYo, BumbleBee, Digimon, trading of Premier League Stickers, NeoPets (for awhile only!!!) and who can forget the pioneer product of all things kiddy..TAMAGUCHI! So yeah, all that kinda makes up for not playin Pokemon!
Wah to think i got so into the digimon craze that we would cheat (yannoe? using the plastic strip and stick it in and out of the digimon) and hope to get the good characters like Teddymon! And no one wants to get Numemon..cos he shoots poop. And digimon battles would threaten to boil over into fistfights if people lose. Hohoho. Wooo! Bring back the old days where we could wear our shorts as high as we can (and show off our legs), girls can wear longer than long skirts, wear bowl-shaped haircuts and wear socks as high as we want without a care in the world.
But that'd be running away from reality. And we've gotta take it head on! Even though having a flaming tail and ability to breathe fire like Charmander would be
