A bright pink flower sprouting out from that pot of ugly cacti my grandmother had before I was born. I always told myself I made friends with that pot of ugly cacti since I was young. It never pricked me, I could stroke its pricks like an owner and a dog. We were special. Maybe it just had weak pricks. I grew older and I stopped talking to it, then this day I saw that pink flower, after a heavy downpour in Serangoon, petals with crystal clear droplets of rainwater. Feels... miraculous, like a gift from heaven, like rainbow after storms.


Following are rubbish testing posts. I know right, it's a little sudden since it's already 10 days into the month. But anyway I really need this right now to remind myself about how much of a screw up my holiday's been so far.

1. Sleep early, eat healthy. Ever since my brother ended his A levels he's been having really screw up sleeping habits, and it's influencing me. Staying out and reaching home at 6am, waking up at 1pm, sleeping at 2am. I've been extremely un-good. Stayed over at Changi airport that day sending Kelly/Suwen/Nicole off to OCIP in China. Oh speaking of that I'll be posting up some photos we took that day outside Changi Airport at 7, really good sunlight then. And then there are a lot of late nights in the past 2 weeks, a lot of last buses home and such. Today was a good example, but we had some good laughs over dinner + shaker fries. God I forgot to blog about sending OCIP kids off, that day was fun! Anyway yeah, I'll sleep after blogging.

2. Eliminate distractions, get your ass down to studying. Computer's a good example of a distraction. I completely cannot study at home, cause I'll either be sleeping or using the computer. Another major distraction on my mind is creating a blogskin. I did that for the past 2 nights after training, a blogskin on Skins, didn't turn out as I expected but still not too bad I guess, going to post it up soon after I get time to finalise the colours and such. Why the hell am I still making blogskins?! Especially when I haven't touched them for almost a year! But at least that's one distraction down huh? Next biggest distraction is itch to play vball at Sentosa - I'm still waiting for a reply from Eugene/Sandra.

3. Time management. Kinda ties in with the previous one, I need to get a hold of my life. I have now trainings every week Monday to Friday, and it's killing. The only day I could actually study is Saturday in the entire week, cause I can never ever study at home and if I wasn't given one full day, I wouldn't have the motivation to study. So I need to rearrange my time, plan my trainings, plan when to study. Because I'm prolly going to be that busy till next year starts at least, I've plans to hold a set of chemistry notes on bus rides to/from school everyday from now. Read till you sleep, which is actually highly likely. But I've realised I hardly read the notes properly, like 80% of things don't sink in. I thought chemistry could be like physics- you only need to get the big picture to understand everything else. Turns out I'm wrong. Wait, it might not even be true for physics, since I've just managed to scrape off an E with a hell lot of divine intervention.
