Only for now

Except for death and paying taxes,
Everything in life is only for now.

For everyone out there who's feeling like crap now. Sophie, Justin, and everyone else! Do hang in there, for it can only get better after we get through A levels. This is only for now.

Well, orientation was really a dream come true, to say the least. It started as a joke, we'd say, and now we finally really did emcee orientation. Well done, everyone. It really felt as if our batch was working closely with one another on a huge thing that we were so enthusiastic about, and it was nice to see it happen. The collaboration and all.

But I'd have to say, Emceeing isn't as easy a job as everyone would think it is. Especially for Orientation. Cos you'd have to be walking around everywhere when they're not in the hall, and you'd have to be always on the ball, and happy and social. You'd have to bear with the ludicrous heat and humidity backstage of the school hall. And just keeping focused on the moment when you're on stage, and the next moment when you're backstage. And you'd have to join in for mass dance and cheers to make it more decent a job. A fulfilling job, I must say, for I made many new friends and I saw many special things in VJ that you don't get from any other events in VJC.

But it makes it all the more a tiring job. It's really exhausting after all four days. Yesterday after CCA walkabout I fell sick with severe fatigue. I struggled home on the bus, and when I got home, I plopped in my couch and I didn't wake up till the next day. I literally slept from 9 to 5. 9pm to 5am.

And i have many things to be happy about, really. Especially after my birthday last week. Nice gifts from nice people. And who else than mother, who'd buy me two pairs of shoes. One of which is the infamous neon green Nike Lunar. Blinding, but sexy.
