someone said this is dead.. so i alived it.

someone said this blog is dead... so i alived it.. haha.. actually since there is no school there is nothing to update abt.. but since it's the last week of hols perhaps i shall try and get some inspiring words out of myself to inspire u guys to study more.. haha.. maybe it will be a fruitless attempt.. but i will try anyway.

i didnt enjoy my holidays.. did you? haha.. ok.. maybe i started mapling.. but i stopped le.. level 15 only siaa.. noob. lolx. i didnt complete my hmk either.. did you? haha. but i will make more effort these days.. now tht i have additional tuition workk.. haha.. tht's just a lame excuse.. just tht many of us are with our studies. no time etc etc. maybe it's true we have no time.. it's also true tht we dunno how to manage our time.

i went to the lib with qian one day and met a few seniors who got into JJC. one of them said tht he only started revising for o levels 1 month ahead and he got into JJC while the other started 4 months ahead and also got into JJC, so what is the point of studying so early? i am not saying this to prove tht ok.. study one month earlier will do you good too. maybe la.. better than not studying for it. but what i am trying to say is maybe he managed his time well and know what to study while the laterr just studied without planning? what if he had started as early as his friend did? maybe he would have gotten into a better school. studying earlier is always better.

i watched GOAL again this holidays. i always loved tht movie. because i loved the spirit Santiago had. he had the talent of being a footballer, no doubt. but because of his father, he was unable to pursue his dream. his dream of becoming a football star.but he went ahead all the same. the hard work he put in to earn enough money so tht he could travel to england and be what he really wants to be went down the drain when his father er... invested it on a truck instead. but he never let go of his dream. His grandmother bought him tickets and he can finally travel to England. his first fefw attempts were never successful, yet his agent, Glen, always knew he had hope. he finally get to play for new castle. first for the reserve team and next for the first team against Liverpool. along the way his manager told he had to make some changes. at first he did not want to, but eventually he did.

every dream has a beginning. and Santiago's beginning was when he found his passion for football. our passion may not be in studies, but we always have a spark of hope lying in the midst of our disappointment. Aragorn of LOTR said there is always hope. i agree, but it's whether we see it or not. starting now is never late. starting late is never a regret. never starting is a lifelong regret. maybe starting on ur studies now is better than starting later. starting later is better than never once started at all. studying is for urself, not for others. those who bear such a mindset will never make it big. if Santiago plays football because of someone else, his dream will never succeed.

all of us have a dream, and it's whether we seek it or not. i am sure most of us have a dream to do well in studies. santiago took his action. why not take urs now? =)
