Zoom

I realise everything's flashing past me, and it's like the moment I have recovered from whatever trauma or delight thrown at me, the next one comes along and I'll have to deal with it, all over again. And the prospect of the looming promos isn't helping matters, much less my lack of revision either. ArghZ. Just when did Life get so unmanageable? 'Twas just a year ago I took eveything in my stride, took the world for granted, took the people in it to be fools (me included, and I still do). But then again it was also just a year ago I didn't know the existence of PW, the promos and the true meaning of the word stress. Fatigue is taking its toll on me, and I dislike that. Sigh.

Had a really loooooong chat with J. on the bus ride home today. Haven't really caught up with him since... since I dunno when. He's definitely subdued; he doesn't have an ego the size of a dinosaur's egg anymore (is that big enough..?). Maybe that's what Council does to you. You realise you're not the only person reigning supreme in this world (in other words, there are people tons better than you are). And so. I felt it was a lil' pitiful, beacause around the old J., you could feel the vibes about him. An unfathomable force of energy rebounds in him, eager to be unleashed. Maybe I'm exaggerating a little here, but it's the truth that he's indeed mellowed down now.

So we talked about our sec sch mates, and everything pertaining to it. Reminiscing about my life in Fuhua, I realise time flies. No it really does. Like, the four years have come and gone and poof, I'm in JC now (unfortunately that doesn't translate into some tasty coco crunch. Ah well). Then of course the subject of the promos was broached, and I did drill some stuff into his head. He really needs to buck up, what with his abysmal results obtained in the CT. I realise we're in this together, and the thought of a fellow Fuhua-ian taking the same route alongside you is surprisingly consoling. Nothing beats familiarity I think. No matter how many new friends you've got, how many new bonds you've forged, you're more comfy falling back on the old ones.

Oh well. J.'s a really nice friend to talk to. Had numerous blab sessions with him back in sec sch, and they had proven fulfilling. Ditto today. Cheers to our friendship. =)
