AMBER LIU

I WENT FOR A HAIRCUT FINALLY TODAY. and now my fringe is real short. like super de duper short. i actually wanted to cut like her. 

 But unfortunately, it didn't turn out that way, as usual. HER HAIR IS JUST SO SO NICE. okay maybe its because her hair is blonde and mine is brown and therefore the impact is different. AHWELL. WHATS DONE IS DONE.
OH and i went to the gym today and there was a trainer to train me. It was quite cool but its super tiring. oh and we did so many exercises together and she didn't perspire much. I can only say her stamina is crazy for someone her age. OKAY I SHOULD JUST SAY IT THAT IN OTHER WORDS, I'M NOT FIT. HAHA. that's exactly why i started gymming what.

OH YES AND TODAY WE PLAYED FRIENDLY SQUASH MATCHES. and i won two yay. but it wasn't exactly a satisfying win because they kinda gave up halfway and didnt go chase and get their points:/ ahwell. at least i won matches even though i haven't practiced for a long time!

And i have been talking to Jessica since 9 plus and we were talking about how live in singapore was. Living in Singapore has lots of stress and we had to study real hard in order to survive in this society. Reality seriously is one scary thing. She was saying that she rather study overseas because the environment was not so stressful like in Singapore. For example, in US, the parents there are not so stick in the mud for getting their kids to get excellent results and instead just want their kids to have a really memorable childhood. But in Singapore  most of the parents are getting their children to go for piano lessons, ballet lessons, tuition lessons. This lessons makes indeed makes their future much brighter and they would be able to help out in the society next time. But it lessens their childhood enjoyable times. Have you all thought of what the children actually wanted most? Is it the lessons, the society, or their memorable times with their family and friends?

I honestly don't understand why people are so 'crazy' over getting good results. its like parents are always asking us why cannot do as well as other parents' children. Dont they understand that different kids have different talents and good points? Not everyone is meant to be the academic excellent. its like how sometimes when children bring back their results proudly to show their parents, their parents would always go:" only B? How much did your friends get? " and when you tell them, they would immediately start comparing. OKAY, I understand your point that as parents you would of course wish for your kids to be the best but have you all ever though about how they actually feel? Did you all ever feel that by comparing them with other students. it destroys their self-confidence bit by bit? I, myself am a student and honestly i understand that feeling really well. Its like how its happened to me so many times now that now when i get back my results i don't want to show it to my parents as i dont want to constantly disappoint them. i know as parents you all have a really high expectation for your kids and you all think that your kids dont know about it and are constantly playing around which explains their results. But have you ever thought of why they dont do so well like you expected? They actually know that you have high expectations for them and dont want you to be disappointed with them. but this actually adds on to their stress level which leads to them not being able to focus that well.   This also makes them more inferior when they face you all and their friends in future.

ahwell, what i'm trying to say in short is, yes, results are important but isnt living life more important? Sometimes we should all learn to prioritize and see which is actually more important to you. Friends, family, education, pride or what is it then?
