Hi all, just reading through your reflections. I don't know what I can do to help you people, because to be honest, i played throughout my JC years. I don't really know what it feels like to really work for what I want, or to feel disappointed when I don't get it. I just feel that all of you are so much better than me, and most of you will achieve more than me. :)

Tang Wah: I hope we can do something to help :) You need to take better care of yourself, be conscious of how your body react to situations, like stress, lack of sleep, certain foods, etc.

En Rui: I think having friends and getting to know them better will definitely help you overcome your weakness. Afterall, relationships with people do change us. Be more proactive in that sense =)

Xun Kai: How about going to Cambodia?? LOL... I think if you have talent, just that you lack passion. Please find your passion in life!! heh.. :)

Daryl: I think for you to feel like you are living your life fully, utilitising your potential, you need more challenges in life than 'A' levels. I am not sure what you have access to now, how about picking up some knowledge on your own? philosophy? study the classics? Try to find answers to your questions in life. :)

Pee Chun: You are what you think you are, not what other people tell you or what numbers or alphabets tell you. Be open and vulnerable, and you might just find what you need :) I think you are a very interesting and fun friend to have. Just be yourself. :)

No name: If you are able to visualise the effect of your words before you flare up, it helps. Try to see the situation from the other person's point of view. its a problem everybody have, be easy on yourself, give yourself a few more years. :) We can help if you let us.

Benjamin: Sometimes its hard convince yourself to see what you want yourself to believe in, especially when you are not even sure what achieving certain things will bring to you. Find out more. =)

Yi Chuan: You have not found something you like, keep looking! You are a wonderful person! I like how i keep i have to keep telling you to tuck in your shirt but you never seem to find it irritating. I know it sounds weird, but its fun to have you around :) You should smile more too.

Samuel: Its not easy to stay committed to what you want, if its not really what u want. Have more tangible goals and be easy on yourself. :) keep the long term goals in mind while mapping the steps in front of you. Do look back to see how far you have come! :)

Mark: Your results don't say anything about you. It describes, at best, what happened during the 3 hours of paper. Ask yourself if doing well in this exam is something you really want? Please open up, we want more friends! :)

to be continued... [have to go for dinner \-.0/*cheers]

back from dinner... [ it was crappy =/]

Ze Chuan: you seem a bit lost, and your plan to be proactive... is not really a plan.. more like a wish. I don't it will happen because its still not proactive. What can you do for yourself?

Yongsheng: You have very high goals for yourself! With regards to opportunites, i think there are lots in school. You have to grab it, and not let them slip you by. Ask yourself what you really want. :)

Melvin: I think you know yourself very well, its not easy to stay true though, keep it up. As for taking risks and grabbing opportunities... start small, take calculated risks! :)

Ruiping: You can be confident and yet be flexible. Know and believe in what you do or say, yet be open to others' advice. You can express yourself confidently and yet allow others to feel at ease. It can be done :) as for your dreams, its ok to have more, but know what you are working towards and what motivates you. More talks? I hope there is too .. :)

Fen Ru: You have always given me the impression that you are fiercely independent (i.e. you don't need others...) It does put some distance between you and potential friends. But its still a strength :) Maybe you can be independent in managing your own matters, yet reveal the side of you that need support and friends [i might be wrong.. if i am, pls excuse me.. ] :P

Christina: Don't forget the choice you have made!! =) I think you know your direction in life, even much more than me... no advice for you, lol ! :)

Shuqing: Don't feel too stress about achieving the material needs. Although we may not believe, its the thought and the small things, that make the relationship good. Even if you did not achieve the material needs, they will always have you! :) AND you do not have to blame yourself for anything !!

Yan Jun: Its not easy to take the path of high resistance, i think we are all like current, its prob human nature too! I hope all of us can see obstacles as challenges and face them head on with a smile, knowing that you will turn out a better person than before :)

Shirley: its funny hearing you talking about being practical, when you are probably the one with the most potential out of this class. But its ok, i understand, i chose this route too [and studied engineering!! OMG..] I did not regret it, neither will you, i believe. :) I don't feel any barrier between us, except prob for the 1st week when i first know you.. lol.. I always see this cool and cute person beneath that cool exterior, I can feel your friendliness.. don't worry about that! hehe...

Shuwei: You are already talking very little!! I know there's not enough time for everything, but you don't have to do everything. As for thinking and being a perfectionist.. it isn't really something bad.. you mean u have no REAL weakness to talk about! lol.. such a perfectionist... you just to apply appropriately. As for thinking too much, being too conscious... some people call it an illness, a suffering, so its not something everybody would like to bear. BUT i am someone who believes in it, i think it helps me live my life more fully. Its like people think, and you think about thinking, people make decisions and you think about how and why people make certain decisions. Its also a life i have chosen, then to be numb and unaware. Its painful at times, but its something i rather embrace. :)

Yi Jun: You need daily reminders, and you probably need different things to motivate you and keep your interest and motivational level high. I am really really glad that you have supportive friends and family, and you understand its work in progress :) Keep it up.

Lin Ruey: To have good relationship is not to endure, that's what i think. To have a relationship where you have to endure... is like having a partnership. To have a real relationship is to allow [not endure] and you shouldn't feel like its a pain..

Sijin: Your life is like the 10K i gave you. There's a limit. Although now you do not have limits yet, but invest your time wisely. =) as for relationships, not everything has to be resolved and apologies are not needed all the time. Just agree to disagree :) I think you are very committed and responsible already, probably not in all areas, but that's only human! If you are finding that you have difficulties staying committed to certain things, you probably lack the passion for that area. And its a vicious cycle if you are going to blame yourself for the lack of commitment! Find your passion, develop it, invent it do whatever you can, but don't every feel like its your fault, if it is then all of us are at fault, because we can't be committed about everything.

I see that friendship is one of most important thing to you people now.. rightly so. I think some of us are not willing to open up, or feel vulnerable doing so. yet we crave closeness, isn't it contradictory? Why do friends we make in teenage years become friends for life? because we are most vulnerable then! Do not be too fast to put up a front, there's no need to make any impression, just be yourself, people will love you for who you are. And if they do really find you intolerable, they will tell you, thats another way of showing love, isn't it??

Another area of importance is probably studies and future. My only advice is that.. it will come. don't worry. Either you fight for what you want, or you make sure you end up in a position where you have the power to make choices. If you lack motivation everyday.. get people around you to help, I can help!! =)

aiyo.... so long... thanks for listening to all these crap.. lol.. eh! the person with no name is... alvin..? lol..
