dancing with myself

[methrowrock]

“I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.” - Jack London

Okay, so I am going to flunk my A Levels. But that doesn't necessarily translate to an adverse impact on my future. I will just have to go by an unconventional route, the bramble-filled, thorny roundabout. But I still have the opportunity to live the lifestyle that I have envisioned. Even with a terrible academic track record, I can still travel the world, be a part-time waitress in a French cafe, teach English in Japan, work in an ambassy in some exotic locale, or even, build a life right here in sunny Singapore. It doesn't matter. I just have to keep on hoping. Damn you, meritocracy, and thank you, meritocracy, all at the same time, for inculcating a mindset of anything-is-possible. Now, I just gotta find something that is worth fighting for. But first, attention back to As. There is a time and place for everything and right now, what I need to do is to muster up the energy for one last blaze of fiery studying and hopefully, scrape together mediocre enough grades to barely slide into FASS. Sigh. Where is my daily dosage of 盧廣仲 and 雀斑 to cheer me up?


Well okay, 2PM does just as well. :)
