1. Scholarship Presentation Ceremony today, thankfully my in-very-poor-shape heels were able to get me from my seat to the presenter and back to my seat in one piece without falling. Thank the heavens! Saw so many familiar people, OMF-ers mostly! They had a presentation about the OMF Challenge and it brought back so many memories. Imagine seeing my photos in the coming years being presented to the juniors, why didn't i take part in more TCP Activities!
2. See the medal there? Second place for Runner's Relay! Yay! Awesome race with the Canoeist, though *coughs* i was like the oldest in school being year 3 and all, but well done juniors! NACC ftw!
3. The last photo taken at 11pm, trying to keep my eyes open while typing this and attempting to do my supply chain project which is due tomorrow but is not half done. #Emergency! And opps, i haven't showered.
These few days i've suddenly come to realise that my time at NP is about to end soon, in a few weeks time study week begins and after the last exams, i probably won't be seeing alot of my classmates/friends for a long time to come since they are going off to other countries for internship. Guess the saying that you never cherish things until you lose them stays true to the end. Throughout these 2.5 years, i daresay i haven't made an effort to try to get to know everyone individually, because of things like being in a "clique" and the same-old judging thing that i'm quitting for real. It's tough, but i'm trying to look beyond the outer shell of a person, deleting the initial impression that is formed over what hearsay does. In the remaining few weeks, my camera and polaroid are going to be my best friends to document at least a part of this journey that has most definitely forged the strongest friendships which would last forever, given as we have so many interests in common.
"Happiness is derived when you stop striving for perfection, but seeing the beauty in imperfection and finding happiness within you". Once i read a story about... wait i forgot how it started. Basically it's about some god who put happiness deep within a man, so that man would never ever find it. Happiness is derived from deep within, not from the circumstances or situations that surround you. You may think getting material possessions would make you happy, but true happiness is derived from self actualization, from achieving something that would make you feel accomplished, from sincerely helping someone. Life IS short, and i may be reaching 2 decades old in a year or so, but now that i have learnt this, it's going to change my world.
