Life in TA
Tuesday, May 06, 2008 @ 5:07 PM
OH WELL. TA has been really.. busy? Having gone through the first four (and counting) months of the new learning environment, I really must say that it's tough. I must admit, thoughts of regret have gone through my mind, of wanting to return to mainstream and do the norm, but there ain't gonna be any chance for that to happen so I'm stumped. Anyway, experiencing TA's holistic educational system was physically, mentally and emotionally draining. Sometimes, I feel like I'm the worst and stupidest creature ever alive on earth. It's hurtful to acknowledge that you were once the better of the lot in mainstream, but when you enter the IP Programme, you're reduced to dust. Not that you are dumb or anything, just that this program is highly and extremely competitive, with many people vying, striving and working so hard for participation marks, test marks, GPA etc. People actually spend their free time mugging. For a person who's forever in a relaxed state like me, seeing people being so hardworking just makes me feel inferior. And that's not all. Holding 2 PDPs is no joke. Although it's not as tedious as choir or competitive sports, but it takes up a lot of time, plus my other activities during the weekend which all boils down to-- NO TIME. I used to be the late-night bird of the people I know, but now, everyone seems to be sleeping at around the same time as me, about 1 to 2am, and sometimes, even later. You'll never realize the true meaning of stress till you enter TA. Yes.
BUT, I know that other peeps in VJ and NJ aren't coping very well either, righttt? haha. *GO LAO!!* I guess it all means that we have to try harder to adapt and handle the stress well, AND, get some rest when you really need it. Make sure you don't collapse in the middle of sth; that'll be terrible.
Anyway, life is all about adapting to new environments, ain't it? So let's all work hard together then. :D

This few days have been hilarious. I discovered that although TA is tough and all, but everyone knows when to play and joke when the time is right, except some. Narrating to Kelly the story I came up with for my drama series was funny and intense, with all the Kenny's, Kenneth's, Kelvin's, Kent's, Kendrick's, Kathy's..- bottomline: Kelly is an evil woman who is exceptionally fickle and flirtatious because she dumped her husband-to-be on the day of her wedding! LOL. And Kaiwen is forever confused about the different K's doing different things.- blur bobo. And Kelly should seroiusly stop self-claiming that she is the director because I am a high-classed scriptwriter who decides who I want my script to be directed by. :D Haha, stay tuned to Season 2, episode 26, tomorrow. AND latest news: JEREMIAH HAS A FOREHEAD HAIR! haha it sounds gross, I know, but it's true. And it IS gross anyway. It's short, curly and white. yucks. hahahahah....!

Man, I really wish to have my Aaron necklace. :(

This led me to lots of thoughts, which i shan't elaborate. But what she said is really true. So let's all 加油 together alright!
