School.
Now that lessons have officially started and I have survived two out of my three school days, life is getting slightly more hectic. No lunches on Thursday and Friday will be a common thing as I have only 15mins break to walk from school to school in order to be on time for lessons.

Time.
Time waits for no one and no one should wait for time.
The time is now to make hay while the sun is shining and the spirit, willing and ernest.
Do not let time slip away and not let others determine your time.
It is time to do it.

Camps.
Busy busy busy – one whole week spent on camps!
It was an extremely tiring week for me; if you take into account that I have slept for an average of 10 hours everyday before the camps and that during the camps, for each night I sleep less than half of my usual. Then again, [...]

Freshman.
Alrights, I’m officially a freshman now since I have gone for SMU’s freshman camp and well, the camp was really an eye-opener.
It wasn’t your usual lovey-dovey camp whereby the facilitators will care and shower loads of love just because you are a freshman or the super ‘tekan’/torture one; but as they put it, it is [...]
