My 2ooth post! Lots of things have happened since this blog was first started in sec 1. Looking back, i thought that i was really childish and immature (and perhaps horny) then, but well, so was everyone. Highlight of this blog was when a pic i posted up on this blog was used in a New Paper article about, of all things, TAU POK! Haha. Well it made 1M 06 sumwhat famous and infamous at the same time. Hopefully no one knew that those were RI boys. Haha. Well there are also the unhappy moments in this blog's history, but i dun want to talk more about it.

I guess that it's a great achievement to have made it that far in RI. There were the ups and downs, but i have sumwhat learned to take everything in my stride. In RI, there are so many people that are even better, smarter, more talented, and more hardworking (aka more muggerish), than you, and that teaches you to learn to eat humble pie, yet at the same time inspire u to greater heights.

Over the last 2 1/2 years in RI, i've met many great people, but i've not been able to fully appreciate their presence in my life. But now that i've gotten older, i'm starting to learn how to do that. Even the people that are not on good terms with you, are in your life for a reason, to teach you a life lesson, to make you stronger and more disciplined.
I'm lucky to be able to get a few leadership positions so far in RI, despite my lack of experience in pri sch and my less-than-stellar academic record, compared to others rafflesians. I've tried to do my best, to provide what i can, and in the process i've learned many stuff. I'm indeed grateful.

I guess it's true that rafflesians only feel proud to be rafflesians only after they graduated, cos that's when you realised that you will never be able to experience the rafflesian school life. And that applies to many other schools with a long and proud heritage.

In life there are ups and downs, and many of these trials and tribulations appear in your teenagehood, the point in life when you're growing and when you're most easily influenced. I've had my own share of them. Yea, last december. I actually think that i was pretty stupid and foolish then, blinded by emotions and stuff like that. But going through it teaches you a lesson, and you'll know how to avoid the same problem, once bitten twice shy. Five months on, the memories still occasionally come back, and it bothers me sometimes, but it's only memories, and the way to treat memories is to remember but not relive. After five months, i guess i've become a better person, after all these lessons.

The road ahead is filled with potholes, roadblocks and detours. One will obviously hesitate in committing to traveling such a road. But who knows, a Shangri-La might lie ahead. For me, i know i want to get there, but i'm patiently waiting for the right conditions for the breakthrough.

Lookout for the 201st post!
