a short week tho, i'm off to the imcb (in biopolis), for a research attachment. i actually have zero idea what im signing up for, i just picked up the form and voila, i got selected. i do hope that happens for my scholarship application also. haha.
ive been in rjc for 17 weeks already. a damn long time. and it totally doesnt feel so long. 2007 started with so much hope and anticipation, and i still vividly remember my first day of school like it was yesterday. and poof, it's may already, almost the middle of the year.
i really dont know how i've been living my life. i spent the first two months before o levels results waiting to get out of rj, den decided at the last minute to stay. now i dont know what im waiting for. Jesus' second coming? A levels? june holidays so i can bum my life away? i really dont know what's in store for me. i dont feel like joining any more ccas now. but yet i dont want to rot my life in rj away. it just sucks that everyday is just following the same old routine. i need to do something different and interesting with my life.
two years ago at this time of the year, i would have been cramming for mid-years. but also, i was planning for the council workplan cum reward camp in a famosa, malaysia. it was just thrilling to go there and we were the first batch to plan a camp other than in tanjung puteri. i was put in charge of this, and it was the time when the 38th batch really started working together as one batch.
how time flies rite? i just wish for the clock to turn back time, and let me live my life all over again. but that's just how life works. there's nothing fair about it. life has to be lived forwards, with no turning back. we can turn behind and say how i wish i could go back or how i wish i didnt make that stupid decision, yet we can never relive the past. which begs the quote, "life can be only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards."
i guess this coming of age, the passage from one milestone in my life to another made me cherish even more time and its scarcity and sacredness. it made me realise how finite this life we are living in now. and how much i need to treasure the time and relationships.
maybe, when i reach heaven, where time does not exist and i will be with Jesus for all eternity, then can i throw aside this nagging notion that is time and leave it all behind in a world that is so transient and temporary, and revel forever in the glorious riches of heaven.
until then, all i can do is stay strong and continue to live life to the fullest.
