random thoughts at midnight

i wouldn't say that my life has been rather eventful lately.
it's as boring as a chore i can't even.
the past week of holiday lectures has made me cherish all my 1 hour lectures in school.
i swear 1.5 hour lectures are out to kill me and i seriously cannot absorb anything.
especially math.
my hatred for this subject has never once subsided in my life ugh.
and the fact that i reach home at almost 8 plus despite the fact that it's a holiday really gets on my nerves sometimes.
true that i need to devote extra time and commitment to my srgce trip, but sigh i sometimes wonder why i signed up.
not that i regret anything major now but honestly all this last-minute rush pisses me off because i simply don't like all these impromptu plans...
never mind.
forget about this negativity and hopefully i will be excited to make a change in the lives of the nepalese children!
5 more days to takeoff :)

anyway saturday's cip with the guitar ensemble at all saints' home taught me so much about caring for the elderly; and at the same time brings back so much memories about pl.



glad that i got this short but enriching one hour or so of interaction time with one of the elderly at the home.
she talked to me about her past and how much she enjoyed singing and sang a few of her childhood tunes to us.
it's amazing how she remembers everything and can speak english so fluently.
well besides that i really enjoyed singing the chinese and christian songs to them.
being in pl really taught me many christian songs that i could actually sing to the folks there.
seeing them sing and clap along heartily makes my heart feel warm inside too.
glad that i got to make a difference amongst the local community then :)

anyway it has suddenly dawned upon me that tomorrow will be my last day of lessons with the girls (and the class).
reality has sunk in and 2013 is about to end.
so many things have happened.
i've seen the not-so-nice true sides of people, regretted so many decisions, missed my secondary school, struggled to cope with academics and been through everything else that's bad.
what's more maria's left already, leaving the four of us behind and that tomorrow will really be our last time attending lectures/tutorials as a gang.
as much as i am eager for the class to separate (because i believe it will only do us good), these are really the girls i will miss deeply.
thanks for always being by my side throughout the year.
and through the horrible experiences that have occurred, there are still the positive side of things.
yes these 4 girls i just mentioned are just one of the few.
also, becoming a lot closer to exco, clearing promos and learning to cope with change (and thereby maturing from it) are just a few of the good things that happened this year.
since it's getting late and my eyes are seriously giving way, i shall end here abruptly.
sorry, but i'll leave you with a song that i guess we all remember from our childhood.
never gets old and is still a really sweet song.



"我愿变成童话里
你爱的那个天使
张开双手变成翅膀守护你"
