Woohoo! Got back my practical results today.. I got 126~! 4 marks short of distinction.. But nevermind.. I'm glad that i passed with a merit!!

A great load lifted off my shoulders. Finally Chinese exams are over! Yay! And I actually gave myself one day off! (actually its not a big deal considering the fact that i give myself 1/4 day offs almost everyday) Went to catch the New Police Story with JunLiang today. After that I rushed back for A Maths tuition. Then I start flapping. Less than a week to Science(Chemistry) Exams and I STILL don't know how to do my chemistry! And A Maths was horrendous. Really don't know how am I gonna survive this EOY exams. HAIZ...

The practicals has passed for about 2 weeks already. Which means I'm gonna receive the results soon! Argh. How will fare for it? Really hope I can do well. Better not to think so much about it.

I guess its time to stop wallowing in self pity and seriously consider how I can change. A few things I need to do.

1. Change the way I do things.
   
2. Change my attitude towards life
3. Plan ahead for the band.
   
4. Plan ahead for my future.
   
5. Work towards my goals
   

At present its just these. There'll be more in times to come.

Lots of stuff have been happening these few days. Its mostly band stuff that's getting to me. A whole bunch of people are threatening to quit if changes are not implemented.

Why is this happening? Is it really because band sucks? I don't think so. It is because people are unhappy with each other. Maybe a tinge of jealousy. But this is all because of relations between people. And a big problem of communication.

How can we stop this from happening? It all boils down to understanding of each other. What do I mean by understanding? Its not just what some people like, what some people dislike. Understanding is putting oneself into the other person's shoe and feeling the problems that the person faces, the pressure he/she is under, the jobs he/she got to do. And its not just the leaders who needs to be understood. Leaders also need to understand their members to know who they are leading and how to lead them.

People come and people go. Whats the big fuss? Its just a matter of time until someone close leaves us. Seniors graduate, but that doesn't mean the end of the friendship right? Graduation just marks a new chapter in a friendship. If the friendship is true, no amount of distance will make a difference. Whats with all the tears and stuff? The only difference would be that in the future, seniors would come back not in Xinmin uniform but in their JC uniforms or home clothes.
