Is it fair to say things are going well for me?

Here are some reasons that some people would use as proof that I am not entitled to feel sad or unhappy, at least for the time being:


  1. I got an offer from Cambridge to do Medicine (:D :D :D AHHHH)
  2. I'm not sitting for S1 or S2 this month
  3. After my D1 and C4 papers, I will have no more Maths class for the rest of my 'A' Levels. (10 double free periods for me to waste away, whee!)
  4. I'm blogging while others are slogging away preparing for Statistics exams
  5. I don't really have to worry about Medical interviews so much anymore
  6. I got an offer from Cambridge to do MEDICINE! (XD OH MY GAWD :D)
(Did I mention Cambridge twice? Sorry, my brain still gets excited about it.)
In fact, those might be reasons for some people to ha- intensely dislike me. Well of course, those things are really great and they definitely make me very happy. Despite all this, there are some things that exist on the other end of the spectrum; things which disappoint and frustrate. 


Things like my band falling apart just days before the Woodstock concert; things like realising that I've lost some of my ability in drumming; things like difficult social problems affecting my friends; things like an apathetic friend who just doesn't want to save himself; things like a disrespectful encounter; things like my computer showing the blue screen of death! D:


Those things do get me down sometimes but when I really think about it, I actually have no excuse at all to be an angry/sad panda. 



Why? Because everyday for the past week, something has come along and made my day. Whether major or miniscule, there was definitely something.
Where to begin; the offer from Cambridge? I'm not sure if that so much made my day as it made my year or young adulthood. But I suppose it could suffice to say it made my day.
Then there was the C4 trial which I had not prepared for but scored 71/75 having not seen a leaf of C4 papers since the end of last term. 
Or the day I looked up at the cloudy (often unforgiving) sky and decided I was going to brave doing my laundry-and what do you know; all of them dry in time for me to fold them at night. That's something that never usually happens.
The other day I was even given cupcakes! 




C for Christopher and for Cambridge. How awesome is that. Few things in life are more happy-making than cupcakes. 
Happy-making too was the lovely response to my first blog post to restart this blog!
Today, a few things made my day.


We found a "No Parking" sign outside and decided to bring it into Physics class. "No Physics!" Mr. Muthu really humours us too much...
  • A hilarious, hilarious Physics class
  • Realising that tomorrow is a public holiday AND I have no exams on it!
  • That I printed Mr. Lai's application notes and stapled them into a beautiful booklet so succesfully!
There were alot of other good things that made my days the past couple of days, but I can't remember. Perhaps it's the refreshed perspective or perhaps it's just a good week for me, but I sure feel like happy things are popping up more frequently for me. Before I forget; if you are taking S1 or S2, all the best to you! :)

What has made your days the past few days? Comment below!
