3. Classes went on as per usual yesterday, the same monotonous pace with the same indifferent faces that scream get me out of here. However, I think my classes are actually becoming less and less boring over time, if not more interesting - reason being for this theory is that I don't get the usual head-dropping dozes anymore, especially in Economics, or dare I say only in Economics! She's a wonderful teacher fraught with years of experience, no doubt, but sometimes (well most of the time!) she is just plain... Boring. But frankly, it is one of my favorite subjects. The irony. *giggles*
Being a Tuesday afternoon, I attended my 2-hour swimming session at 4 and literally, I could feel the blazing sun burning every fibre in my skin, inside out. The weather was scorching, unbearable, hence the reason why I kept swimming and swimming, knowing that I would have gone crazy had I stopped and started worrying about my already-weatherbeaten complexion... The inner-moaning-slash-screaming kicked in when I saw my reflection in the mirror afterwards, the contrast was not a very pleasant sight to see. But coach said I improved a lot since the day he saw me! Well that's something, eh? *pat on the back*
4. Practice makes perfect. But I've never ever high jumped my whole life and when I did officially jump last year, I got a humongous blue-black on my right thigh in exchange with my avid curiosity. A year later, I knew better than to take the risk again until last Friday when Sabrina encouraged me to just give it a try. I was okay but definitely no where near ready for inter-house! Yet my name is in Set B when I've only ever properly jumped less than 10 times. It's a great honor, surely but overwhelming nonetheless. And the thought of me as a "high-jumper" is downright hilarious. I just wish I wouldn't let the house down... Because I'm not jumping for myself, I'm jumping for Irinah.
5. The same thing applies to my track events. I'm currently in 800m and 4x400m, both of which require such immense stamina and energy - and both of which I lack now. Just last night Miss Angie cancelled my opening 1500m race for fear that my given condition might fail me on the day itself. And I thank her for caring, but I've still got 2 events to worry about and no way am I going to stop halfway again next Monday. I can't afford to let Irinah down, I can't afford to let myself down. It's a huge bet that I'm buying on myself here and I'm so full of fear now. Haha. I don't wanna get tired halfway and stop, I don't wanna stop... I'm not strong enough for this anymore. To think that I did so well last year and I can't this time, hurts inside. It hurts a lot, it really does.

6. And now on to my music career. My piano exam is just around the corner (somewhere in June) and I am honestly unprepared for it. Another thing that I am worried about. Because I cannot bear to let my parents down in this one. What better way to prepare myself than to practice everyday? *mental slap in the face* Yeap, it's time practicing piano became a daily routine, like how it used to be everyday before life in KTJ.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
I'll see my silver lining soon.
Who said high school life was ever easy?
Hehehe, I know I can do it.
For now, I'll just smile. :)
Because...

Funny how twice his songs were the first that I thought of. Well, these 2 songs are definitely worth listening to!
