Smiles light up as we walk in

I must say my fringe’s living well since I can see it growing longer day by day(:
Bern lent me this book “Have a Little Faith” by Mitch Albom. I’m not done with the reading but so far it’s rather insightful and reflective. Albom has really made quite a handful of very deep quotes in there. This is really my kind of books.

When Xiao Gu returned my dad’s car last night, heard from her that Da Gu’s not feeling very well and she has been in bed for at least 3 days so I called her to asked how she was. We talked about her condition, discussed about a day where we could all go out when Des is done with her exams and then I told her about my disappointing results. We talked as if we were in the future, next year, 2010, when I’ll be taking my o levels. Well, as a matter of fact, like how my mum puts it, “For yourself, your O’s, you just have another 6-7 more months to go before you find yourself sitting on that chair facing that paper which reads O LEVEL”, it’s really fast. I don’t even have a year to think about O’s anymore, I just have months months months and lesser months. Da Gu said if I can’t make it to JC then let it be, go to polytechnic. It’s just another one more year, it won’t kill. From the time I’ve start receiving education, I already have this clouded impression of polytechnics and I don’t know why. It probably is because of how I’ve seen society viewing them. To polytechnic students, don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I despise you, it’s just that I think I need some time to change my mindset. I’ve really got to start planning for my future, the plans I’ll have if I don’t make it to JC and then my career.

These few days, my parents have been talking to me about my future. It’s like all serious talk, no joke at all. I’ve never really sit myself down and think about all this, so when they started the talk, I was digesting what they said but somewhere at the back of my mind, it felt wrong because it was coming too fast, like a train along the greens that races against the wind, chucking on those charcoal black tracks. In a way, I don’t really know how to take it from here. Right now, what I should be concentrating on would be chinese O’s which is on the ninth but the talk (let’s just call it “the talk”, it sounds so professional and all) makes all plans of studying for O’s so foreign and distant. I know what I’m suppose to do but at the same time, I don’t. Is this considered as a crisis? If it is, then it must be “The O Crisis”.

Forget that, so Bern introduced me this great singer last last week. The name’s Matt Wertz.
His songs are the best and his voice, it has the soothing effect and somehow makes peace in my heart(: His lyrics are not bad too, it’s meaningful and comforting to hear them out through his voice. I still can’t figure how to put up videos so till the day I figure it out, google those songs and share the joy too!(:
