Well a lot has changed since I last posted here. Shan't be too explicit, since this is a public platform after all. Just that a lot of things are different now; not sure whether that's supposed to be a good or bad thing.

Actually now would be a good time to look back on the past, since about half a year has passed already (how time flies). It amazes me how, as each day passes, we don't really feel like anything has changed at all, yet when we look back months/years later we realise that our lives had changed so much over the course of time. JC really changes your life by 180 degrees, with the greater exposure and the various ways things are done. There just isn't any time to lay back in our comfort zones any more, and through the struggles to cope and to actually achieve something, we lose ourselves.

I'm not saying that that's a bad thing. Rather I don't know whether it's good or bad. I guess what really matters is how one reacts to these changes - whether one decides to get up and over their comfort zones or decides to hide back in one's own shell. What really matters is not whether or not we fail but rather how we react to failure. There's always a few choices presented before us; it just depends on which path we choose to take. Change is inevitable, so we just have to embrace it somehow. People who know better would adapt to different situations accordingly, and those who don't adapt... well, it becomes harder for them to cope.

Anyway, 2012 so far has brought about a ton of changes in my life, both environmentally and mentally. I realised it's impossible to stay protected from the real world forever, and the real world is ugly. Life isn't a bed of roses. With JC life came a greater exposure to the real world and how terrible it may become, and that has forced me to change my mindset on certain things. I've had to reprioritise and rethink what I really want in life. I don't think I've ever thought so much of "life" before. This can't be healthy.

Ah well I shan't elaborate much here, since it is a public platform after all.

Haven't had a chance to congratulate the new 2012-2013 HCSE exco here. :) A bunch of crazy people, no doubt, but all wonderful and awesome. Hope that things will run smoothly for my batch; love them to bits, seriously. Only 19 of us but all bonded together as a batch. No cliques or anything - that's what's good about a small batch! Even though I didn't get elected I'm still so proud and honoured to have HCSE as my CCA. Rehearsals with them never fail to brighten up my mood, not just through making music, but with all the laughter and weirdness that comes with it too. Don't think I'll ever love them any less.

On a side note, CCA chalet JTS was awesome stuff. :) Even though only 7 people (seniors included) stayed overnight.
