Now for the really kick-ass stuff. I better type my musings down before they are blown away...
So pardon the messy sentence structures. :)
Okay...so i went back to yzps today...school re-opening related stuff for my brothers stuff. Yeah...cut my hair too. It's now like short. Sitting reminiscing on the bench, I thought back on how I couldn't achieve my dream of getting 240 < and getting into a girls' school. I really kicked myself and prayed that I could turn back time... but i can't. ( Read some more to find out how I change my views )
So we then collected my brothers' schoolbooks and went into the car. They got a new English study book to read... Wait was it Social Studies or English? Nevermind. Yeah. The book was about how a Chinese orphan made it from an illegal cigeratte seller to a barrister. It spans 20 years...past the japanese occupation and the communist terrors.
The book was a true account and journalized by Joan Yap. It's called 'Son Of An Immigrant'. I applaude the school for posting such stories to next year's p5 students. It's really thought-provoking. Remember me kicking myself previously? This book changed my views and created new mantras for me. Reading this memoir about our ( Singapore's ) early immigrants in the car, with rain pelting down and Chinese music playing really gave me this...I belong, I love my country-ish feeling. The hardworking-ness and preserverence of our forefathers really gave me this UMPH feeling. They sacrificed so much and were so determined. They gave me the motivation and a new mantra to follow upon. I'll quote a passage from the book now. It keeps me thinking of my goal. What's my goal? TO GET INTO EITHER RJ or ACS(I)! LISTEN UP PEOPLE! I WILL MAKE IT! I expect you all to make it to alright? Go Xin Jie! Go Julienne! Go Laura! I know you have goals alright!
"The darkest hour is the one before day breaks.You must expect difficulties before you can be successful.But most of all, you have to believe in yourself. You have come so far and you can do it! You must never give up on something you have desired for so long."We have made it this far. We didn't get into Triple Sciences and Additional Math classes for nothing right?
Here are my new mantras ( I use these to boost my confidence and morale ) "I'll have to stop asking myself if I am good enough and start asking how to be good enough." I must have confidence in my abilities. If I find that I need improvement, I'll start improving. No heming and hawing attached. Mantra No. 2. : "I will not study for the sake of studying but study because I want to gain more knowledge." I figered that there was no use looking back and feeling bad. Wo ying gai wang qian zou. I find it easier to learn new stuff when I repeat mantra No. 2. . I'll start reading external textbook stuff with every chapter learnt and that, I'm sure, will really help me in my learning.
Yeah.... So that's the end of my long-ish post. Hope you all enjoyed it.
Fin.
