i can't believe i'm leaving all this in 5 months' time.
:(

so much for aftertrials celebrations.
here i am, with absolutely nothing to do
nursing a sorethroat and burning eyes.

here are some straightfromtheheart talk.
doesn't get much more truthful than this.

**this week has been a weird week.
stuff people say has really hit home
and i realise that i am

kiasu
proud
high maintenance
too competitive
arrogant
too sensitive
unable to accept criticism

i know you're going to see me weirdly after this
but oh well. better now than later.

i don't want to ask for help in studies
because i see it as a sign of weakness.
when i hear classmates telling me the hours they study
i go home and double mine to beat theirs.
i don't ask people 'eh, how to do this ah?'
(except for the really closest ones)
because i dont want to admit that im stupider.
i work so hard, but it's not for me.
it's for the amazing feeling i get when
i feel that i'm the top of the pack.

this is what 11 years in a chinese school has done to me.


** you know the comments you make about
my weight/size/looks?
yeah i really take it to heart.
i'm reaaaally sensitive about it
and it may all be a joke to you

but i go home and cry after that.
ironically, its the Saturday nights when i cry the most.
so please shut up,
youknowwhoyouallare.

make fun of anything else, it's okay.
and for the record, i may smile and all,
but know that inside i really dont like you.

**i'm thinking about not going to YF anymore.
i dont know, its just the combination of
feeling old/obsolete, being left out of everything,
and so much more.
i mean, i'm still going to be in church and all,
but for YF?

arrrrgh.

so there it is.
the insecure girl with very low self esteem has spoken.

i think alot of ppl feel left out at times, including me especially the last time i was back. everyone is so much younger than me, n i barely know anyone form 4 n bellow
but of all ppl, you shouldnt be feeling left out, n if you are, maybe its time to mix with others?

Heyyy...i know it's probably easier said than done, but forget about what those ppl are saying about your looks/weight/etc. For the record, I think you look great as you are (REALLY!) so give yourself some credit ok?

Btw, feeling OLD in YF??? Hellowww...can someone be a little considerate ah? I must be ANCIENT then! But jokes aside, I think we all sometimes do feel left out at one point or another. Yeap, even the so-called "popular" ones. But what Sze Yen said is true. If we do feel left out, maybe we should ask ourselves why? Are we waiting for others to come to us? Or perhaps we take the initiative then? Especially if we are among the da ge's and da jie's in the YF.

Yes, I know it's not easy but I'm glad that you're at least "trying hard to". And while you work on that, in the interim, you can always talk to me. Yes, no "avoiding eye-contact" and all huh. Haha..
