i've finally settled in after a long day, and found the time to update my beloved blog.
well, we're almost done with the last common tests of our secondary school life! :)
actually, i felt that all the papers were kinda shitty hahaha.
'cos i didn't really study, and put sleep as my first priority instead.
but honestly, everyone including me is so busy studying for tests and doing homework, we barely get our minimal 8 hours of rest at night.
what's up with the education system?
there is no point in dumping truckloads of homework on to the students, forcing them to get them done and understand the concepts and making them ace their tests.
so what if your report card proudly displays straight a's?
i'm sure there's no meaning to that when you don't even have morals.
whatever happened to true education, where we were taught to discern right from wrong?
or has it never existed?
studying for tests daily has made me lack sleep, and thus i came down with a fever the day before my history paper.
this got me thinking: why am i stressing myself out so much?
why do i have to put in so much effort to study?
like everyone else says, "study hard for a good future."
yes so that's what i'm doing.
but to the extent that is detrimental to your health and well-being?
then i think we've crossed the line.
there needs to be a defined limit to how much we should work and play.
though it varies from person to person i'm sure everyone deserves a good old break somewhere somehow.
WE STUDENTS NEED OUR REST!
DON'T PRESSURE US.
well anyway, enough of ranting.
celebrated our last valentine's day in PL, in an all-girls school.
i'm sure i'll miss the fun and affection we share among us when i leave the sheltering walls of PL.
i love how everyone puts in the effort to do something for a friend out of love.
PL definitely is one big warm family.
thanks everyone for all the chocolates, cards, cookies and flowers!!!
love you forever :*
got a fair bit of exercise done today - headed down to east coast park with some of the sports day comm to check out the place!
tandem-biked with radiant and it was pretty fun, and i must admit, i was less scared than before to ride the back seat of the bike HAHAHA.
i must learn how to cycle!
anyway i also scooter-ed for 4km+ and i was soooooo exhausted by the time we reached macs!
at least i made up for the lack of PE lessons this week!
didn't do much after i came home though...
haven't tumblr-ed in a while so i shall visit the site now.
going on a reblogging spree, bye!
