Well firstly it's been a good first half of my loooong holidays and yes I sure am enjoying it. I initially thought of going back to work, you know, earn some allowance, but I thought I needed some well deserved rest and time for myself. I really needed it after a crazy, hectic first sem in poly. I don't have many friends to go out with (ha ha ha) and I don't feel sad actually.. so I spent most of it either alone, with my family or with Nic. I'm loving this and I wish I can do it everyday. I know it may still be too early but I wake up every morning thinking, "damn, one day closer to the end of this." Pessimistic? I don't think so.
I don't want to go back to school. I feel like a childish 6 year old being dragged by my parents to board the school bus every morning ever since school started.. Except that I don't have parents who do that. Anyway, having no work or stress and all my time to myself allowed me to align my head and heart and at the same time catch up with my social life.
So I went for the Safra Bay Run on 1st Sept with Qin just for fun so we didn't really train hard cos it's only... 5km. Haha we broke our individual records though!! I think everyone ought to really get out of their caves and experience breaking their limits and setting higher standards for themselves at some point in their lives. The feeling of achieving something you never thought you'd do is amazing, I'm not even kidding!
Raw and unedited photo of our faces omg.
The only thing I could say after pushing myself non-stop for the entire 5km was.. "I've never felt so accomplished at 8.30AM before!" Trust me, I may not have stamina but being able to break my own record? YES PLEASE.
T'was was great, then I got to experience something as great with someone also as great on the 12th. Sam and Kurt's concert. With Nic! Now, I am being surprisingly calm here. No, I'm not one of those crazy teenage fangirls who buys every single merch and do up fanboards or whatever. I think I'm gonna receive criticisms in 3.. 2.. 1.. Okay in all seriousness, Sam was so full of energy throughout I just can't imagine where did he got all of it from. What I loved about this awesome duo was that neither looked down on each other or looked to the either as a leader. They were just.. plain singers and music makers always ready to share their love for music. They may not be the best I've heard but the way their fiery passion that impacted every single listener in YouTube and the theatre kept my faith in them. Sam kept repeating how his dream of meeting his loyal listeners was coming true and I was there, just thinking how wonderful it is to be part of someone's dream come true. He said it with such sincerity.. I felt it. I first listened to their production 3 years ago - Love The Way You Lie mashup and followed them ever since. Really admire people like them who make decisions according to their heart and what they really want to do.
Snippets of their performance are on my instagram, go check it out yes? :-)

Yup.
It's been a good first half and even though I feel that I've too much free time now, I REALLY DON'T WANT HOLIDAYS TO END PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE IF TIME WAS A PERSON I'D BEG AND BEG AND DO ANYTHING TO MAKE HIM STOP (EXCEPT KILL MYSELF COS OTHERWISE I WON'T BE ALIVE TO ENJOY TIME BEING STOPPED). I swear I will cry on the last day of this period and the first day of school. Ugh feeling so depressed just thinking about it.
