courage
the week has been pretty terrible, with the gonna-flunk physics test, history test which died on me, chinese summary practice which i failed(!), and the various unearthly times slept at. for the first time in my entire life, i slept at 1,2,3,1,1 am consecutively! gosh. and the repercussion: i woke up at 11.30 am today, missing my tuition at 10am! :O oops. haha! sorry jeenise... cannot go study with you already...
Misunderstandings are caused by understanding. serious. sometimes by trying to understand someone else, you take on a wrong perspective and you see certain things in a different way. so when you think you understand, you actually don't. and when you do something to try to help the person who you think you understand, you result in a misunderstanding. it takes courage to say what you really wanna say, therefore it is not your fault. really. we are all tired. we tried. there has been really few opportunities for us to come together, be it just for fun or for work's sake. somehow we end up more caught up with everything else, be it in our own game of life or with schoolwork etc. therefore, we understand. we really do. maybe not in the exact context. but i believe, similar. we are all stressed, and we all have periods when we are down. when a team works together, there will therefore naturally be conflicts, and people end up being unhappy with one another. but that's what we should learn to grow from! pick ourselves up, and all stand together in trying to resolve the conflict and try to find the best solution for the situation. but is it fair if only one side tries? don't just give up on us, don't just give up. we have stood together strong, and this will definitely pull us together closer and more bonded, if we are able to overcome it. we should not let it triumph over us and ruin what is already existing... no?
maybe if you see this, you'll think that this is super fake and insincere. by all means, believe what you want. but i assure you from the bottom of my heart, that i still regard this team as one family. we have grown through challenges, solved things together, and i really have grown from being part of this family. regarding the question you asked me. you'll have become a part of school life, rather life, which i cannot do without. from being apprehensive and scared of being in this family at first, i have grown to love all of you, every single one. yes there are times when we are pissed with one another, that i can't deny, but what's a family without squabbles? a family doesn't only have good times... at the end of our journey when we look back, i believe those days we had when we were in tears over conflicts or misunderstandings will be etched deep in us as well. "you can't and don't quit a family." this is a family i am really proud of, one i really love, and therefore i really really hope we will be able to survive this 'ordeal' and emerge stronger. perhaps we can go find opportunities if fate really 'denies' us of them, and find chances to do things together, to understand one another better, be it just casual chat sessions, serious work sessions, fun outing sessions or crazy thrash-out sessions. we don't have much time left, so we should really treasure the fate that has bound us together... no?
we will never quit on you. so please don't ever quit on us.
