My 260th post. I feel a need to update today of all days even though i have a really tight schedule. Technically i'm not even supposed to be here, online of all places in the house. An excuse to come online was found from the results of the REACH survey that i have to update online. That's done now so i shall just take some time off and rant here.
Today was a really thought provoking day again. Stressed up day as well as we now know the amount of expectations that we have to live up to. It is not easy thinking about the number of people that u are letting down by behaving in a certain manner that is deemed unsettling or upsetting. It feels even worse to know that by acting in that manner, you are subconciously hurting the people that are so concerned about you by making them worried and helpless as to what to do. I'm refering to my beloved teachers who have been asking countless "What happened?" and "Is everything alright?". GP period made us realise that we are totally acting besides our usual self. The class is said to be dead with no positive energy emmiting from us. Well ms yong is hardly the first teacher to tell us that. A heart to heart paper chat( since we seem to be unable to articulate anything) allowed her to kind of have a glimpse of the difficulties that we are facing.
It is really true that we are stressed up. I mean, since when have you seen joyce(!!!!) running at her own free will BEFORE training. Now the catch is this... During trainings we usually have hell sprints that would make ur thighs go OUCH and "i think my thigh is gonna remain in this cramped up condition FOREVER!"(!!!!!!!!!!!!) It is really in a bid to relief stress. We all have our different concerns but i feel as though this yr started out bad.. There is no positive feeling about this year. As discussed (in the toilet, of all places..) that we are actually having really short-sightedness. Short-term goals like pathetic ones-surviving the week and can't wait for fri or the weekend. We can't even bring ourselves to look beyond that in case we get a serious case of concussion by everything flying head-on and collisions happening. We might go into a coma and never recover! That is the kind of problem we are facing. Are we running away from things?
Ms yong showed us a video.. It was about how a person's positive attitude towards things and the outcome. This guy, morris goodman, through shear determination and perseverance, willed himself to stand back up on his two feet after suffering what was believed to be a fatal injury. The recovery was so amazing that doctors dubbed him the "miracle man". His positivity is so amazing! He led us to believe in our minds and our capability to make things happen. It really follows the cliche quote that "When there's a will, there's a way" but this time, it is for real. There was a moral msg behind all these and i thought it was really an apt time to show us that video....
Learnt much lessons today. =)

"and sometimes i really wonder..."
