swiss is love

(: been back to swis in the past 4 days!
it was such a great experience, despite the occasional boredom and guilt that you get from being a volunteer in teaching dear juniors. haha.
 it was especially awesome yesterday, cos i got to teach physics! haha, feel so accomplished! i rmb the stuff that mr lim taught k! and i even taught my juniors/peers based on the knowledge stuk in my head for the past year. haha. (although most of the teaching in the afternoon for waqiu was done by cf. heh.) hope i did help mr lim and fellow swissers out. (:
i knew a number of new juniors whom i've never seen before in my time as a swisser, and also reconnected with those that i alr know! (: so happy. haha. rahh, i dont think i can be a full-time teacher cos i think i'll feel so attached that i'll just get depression with the passage of students every year. just like mdm sophia. haha.
hope this swiss batch will do us proud by doing even better in the O levels! hwaiting! :D


went out with girlfriends huixin, pauline, florence, shimin to the mint toy museum today! :D haha, it was fun! (and we got half price off the ticket, cos we are students. haha, that made me wanna stay forever as a student. haha) it's been a long time since we've revisited our childhood eh? we even saw what fascinated previous generations of chidren too. haha. we got to expose ourselves to more stuff! haha, like we saw the evolution of toys, and it made me think about how much the expectations of toys has changed with the revolutionising of the human mind through time. haha, so much for comprehension passages eh? (:
the toys also reflected the human attitude. we witnessed the change in culture through toys; like the popularization of the erotic culture, sadistic mentality, and idolization fetish. it also mirrored the vogue of particular eras, for example, the industrialization and globalization period. we also got to see what people of different times and countries were thirsty for, be it the escapade from reality through having imaginary characters who are able to sole pertinent problems with special powers - something in which only fantasy can bring about- , or vision of the future through the models of robots that will fulfil the dreams of the "normal" human beings.
but in any case, it is evident that these toys are indeed influential, and are the objects of desire among many who wish to be in the vogue.
while resting on the $30 000 lounge couch, the girlfriends and i saw little children playing about in the museum. made us reflect upon the responsibilities of being a soon adult-to-be. standing at this point in the walk of life, it certainly is nice to take stock of what has happened, and ready ourselves for what is abou to come. what we're experienceing now is all for a purpose. everything has a lesson for us to take away, something for us to enrich our learning process for the comage of adulthood.

i realised that we shouldn't try to be someone we are not. having fantasized about being an assertive adult since young, i have neglected, or rather, have never realised the importance of being a teenager. now that i am about to turn into a young adult, i suddenly recongnized that i was pretty much a kid up till recently. haha, but it aint matter, since at least i recognized the problem now, when im still 16 - before my 17th birthday, at the very least. being thrust into a new environment, i have indeed matured, and have understood better what is expected of me.
but still, there is so much room for improvement! self-management is a pressing issue that i would like to address asap. prioritising my life is a new challenge for me. i have been an ardent fan of the rigid education system in singapore, and have always been an obedient little girl who never dares to think about things that are either unexplored by my family, or the rationale behind things. wrong things will remain as wrong, no qualms about that, simply because it is wrong. it's all a matter with what your beliefs are, right? haha, i think differently now, which might not necessarily be a good thing.

this brand new school of thought opened new doors for me. it made me ponder over new possibilities, and made me realise that the world is actually not what i had imagined it to be. it is much more three dimensional. much more complicated, i must say. the cause of the maturation of mind is none other than awareness of issues that didn't use to be in our scope of vision, isn't it? "out of sight, hence out of mind", people might say. i second that. the more you see, the more you think, the more you you will make wise decisions.
on the flip side, however, the exposure to different mentalities have caused my principles to waver. i have been cuttng corners on a much higher frequency than i have ever done before. i have also been acting like someone else!

but thank goodness, the friendships that i have forged with my awesome friends made me stay rooted. everyone has their strengths and flaws, and every clique and individual that i hang out with have boh attributes too. being clear of this makes me understand the complexity of human nature a little better, i guess? haha. i don't really either. but what i know, is that i can adopt the desirable traits and stay claer of what is not in order to better myself. (: haha, im pretty proud of myself for having a good family, who have taught me well. it makes growing up so much easier.


haha, but i know, we must be thankful to, and for the Lord, because it is by His grace that we can do anythong. (: even when all else fails, He'll be there to pick you up, and get you going. i really do hope that my faith will stay strong (even though i suppose i cant really use the word "stay") even during the toughest of trials. i pray that all troubles will be solved through entrusting everything into His hands. :D yay. haha.

im meeting more swiss ppl tmr! classmateys aye. (: swiss is loved!
swiss IS love!
