the same long, hard and rocky road, occasionally paved with mud or blotched with puddles of water. once again, i failed myself. this annual affair is truly disheartening for me, as almost everyone seems to be able to "achieve it" but only I cannot. can i blame it on my flu? or maybe i just didn't have the stamina like what my father had said. i had already practiced so hard, running 2.4km every day and yet i failed again. where on earth is my desired gold? nevertheless, i shall not give up. i shall keep trying and persisting until i reach my ultimate gold. perhaps i shall retake my 2.4 since i was quite close to achieving my goal anyway. thank you to all those who had supported me and had cheered me on during my 2.4km run! :)
today was the first time i felt as if i was the only living soul in the school. not that i am implying that all the students are zombies, but that there was practically no other pupil in the school compound at 6am in the morning. came to school super early today to study for chemistry, because i couldn't concentrate when studying for my chemistry test the night before, due to all the fatigue and loud blasts from the television. it felt totally weird stepping into the quiet grounds of the school when the sun hadn't even risen yet. at the side gate, i was greeted by a carpet of purplish flowers- frangipani if i'm not mistaken. a truly captivating sight! then, as i walked along the corridor, only echoes of my footsteps could be heard and no other person was in sight. it may seem creepy to most of you, but for me, it felt akward. it was kind of eerie stepping into a pitch dark classroom with faint moonlit shadows cast upon the grey floors. however, once the lights were turned on, it didn't seem so bad after all. only 25 mins later did another living soul join me in the classroom. haha, beat faizah to coming to class first. anyway, shall stop here now. so relieved that the tiring days are sort of over. can take a short breather for now. chao.
