Living It Up.

EXPECTATIONS.

That is something that one frequently has to comprehend.
Be it from family, peers, teachers and what not.

Being the cream of the crop in the academic field.
Being able to lead among peers when it is in one's capacity to do so.
Being able to complete assignments on time.
Being able to guide siblings.

Being a ROLE MODEL.

But the question is,
Can we actually live up to it?
Are we able to fulfill them even though it goes against some of our principles in life?
And what if we're able to fulfill all but one?
How does that bring an impact towards the other party which we have failed?
Are we fulfilling his or her expectations?
Are we killing ourselves slowly on the inside knowing that we have failed him or her?
Or is it making us stronger?

And what about assurances that it was all worth it?

EXPECTATIONS.
LIFE.

We MAY NOT live up to ALL our expectations.
The bottom line is, that we have tried our best.
And it is failure,
That keeps on pushing us.
To soar.

Soar to greater heights.
Knowing that,
There is ALWAYS someone there to guide us.

Of Magazine work, Prefects', Tests and Interviews...

Phew..

The past few weeks of my life were really hectic..
And yet, they were my most memorable..

Starting off with Magazine work..
We had to stay back in school from 2-4.30 each day.
YES
Just to do magazine work..
So it sucks to be apart of the committee..
But at the same time, it's nice to be trashing the Language Room and using free Wi-fi from the school once in a while..
Haha.
Just hoping that the magazine would turn up well..

Next, off to Prefects'.
Yeah, I was appointed the Assistant Head Prefect I.
It's the first time in history that a Form 4 got elected to the post.
Because usually, the Form 6-er's are gonna be the 3 heads.
Thanks to the old board and to the school's administration for placing trust in me.
I promise that I'll do my best.
Responsibilities comes with it.
The transition from being just a Probationary Prefect to a Probationary Senior and finally, a Head Prefect...
It has transformed me to become a better person..
And carrying with it, is an experience of a lifetime!

PREFECT'S NIGHT WAS A BLAST!
KUDOS TO EVERYONE WHO WAS INVOLVED!
Just to let you know that there were many positive reviews..

Tests this year came at a not-so-pleasant time
Just when all the prefects' commitment and magazine work came piling in, there it was, test's week!
I gave my all, although it was difficult in juggling time to study and completing all my other commitments.
Tests results came in.
It was good, I would say.
Certainly can improve during the final term.

Then came the AFS JENESYS Selection Camp.
I was among the lucky 6 chosen from the rest from Sarawak to go for the selection camp.
Being the only boy from my school and also from Kuching, I didn't know what to expect.
There's only one WORD that could describe the scene of events which happened..

AWESOME

I met awesome people there,
And I felt proud that I could tell my friends about my culture.
And yes, we do have Streamyx in Sarawak.
Haha.
Although it was just camp which lasted less than 48 hours,
I felt so bonded during the camp.
Met friends from almost every part of Malaysia.
The interview went well,
Placing high hopes that I could be one of the 50+ to be selected to go to Japan..

And guess what?
My flight back to Kuching was at 10.15 p.m.
I reached KLIA at 10.00 p.m. by the ERL..
I ran up to the Domestic Departure Terminal from the underground section of KLIA in less than 5 minutes.
And when I got there, everyone was boarding the aircraft already.
Phew.



That was definitely an experience of a lifetime.
No..
All the events that happened were an experience of a lifetime.
Photos are on Facebook.
