two weeks

Morning.

It seems so redundant how I constantly add emphasis on the passing of time, saying just how fast it is when firstly there is really nothing that I can do about it and secondly it is passing by real fast, very fast indeed. *laughs* I'm merely using "time" as the kickstart to this post because I'm currently typing away on the last day of my second last term in form 4, before IGCSEs weigh themselves upon my frail shoulders. I've lost sleep at 4 hence this is my only resort for companionship.

I will be leaving for my IYA camp at half past two later and frankly speaking I am not at my highest spirits now. I'm afraid that I wouldn't enjoy myself there but judging on past experiences my fear was contrasted - it turned out to be great fun, so much so that the camp was demanded once more. Hence, here's praying that the same would happen this time, maybe except for the fact that they did not shower for 3 days straight the last time. Oops. *inserting covering-eyes monkey emoji*

The camp ends on Sunday afternoon after which I will have rest of the day at home before I head off to Singapore with Sabrina for the next 5 days. Head off, more like a two-girl escape. *all smiles*
If it goes according to plan, the first two days there will be spent with her brother and his mastermind of plans for us, the remaining days are still uncertain though, but whatever the outcome, I know it'll be a good one. It's all about good company. And what can surpass the accompaniment of your best friend? Nothing. Nil. Nada. However, here's praying that it'll be another 5 productive days. I'm actually most excited about visiting their library, sitting in the midst of bookshelves 3 feet high, from which I'll grab a book to read, feeling totally at ease, just like a Harvard student, and feeling like I actually belong... Sigh. When is it ever going to be my turn? No, scratch that. Will my turn ever come? I wonder about this sometimes, and even more so lately. I wonder.

Going back to the Secret Guardian game that happened last week, we've promised rewards hence we've come up with custom-made badges in the means of acknowledging their "guardianship". Therefore throughout this week I needed to read the notes that the Secret Guardians had written to their guardianettes as tangible proof of their good work. And trust me when I say this: Some Secret Guardians were just so sweet... Seeing that just made me think, now this is exactly what this game is all about! I was moved by some of the letters themselves whilst others the gifts that came with the package. Someone from Imran had even received a dream catcher from his Secret Guardian! It's a dream catcher. A dream catcher. Simply beautiful.

And just two days ago, I took part in the 3000m race. Putting everything else aside, I did not stop, not even once, as I did my 7 and a half rounds round the 400m field. I finished it, and that's all that matters. So thank you all. Thank you Sabrina.

That's about it of my life now. I won't be checking in until much later next week. Oh man, not to mention the amount of holiday prep that I've got. Just the thought of it makes me shudder. I shall put that aside for some fun this week... *pats on the back* C'mon, you can do this!

Two. Two weeks. Two whole weeks.
