Punching the past

Just so y'all know,I'm not going through some sort of emotional crisis. I'm just been in a pensive mood recently.

Anyways,just found out that my cousin will be starting her degree in medicine at Yong Loo Lin this coming august, which is awesome! (Admittedly I'm kinda slow, results have already been out for probably 1 month +). Wishing her all the best in her studies! (Even though she's not aware of the existence of this blog).

So yea probably she'll be your senior if you get into Yong Loo Lin too, but that's not for another 15 months haha.

Eagerly anticipating the issuance of progress reports. Want to see whether my CAP has improved! MUST GET DISTINCTION. To be honest, I'll be disappointed if I can't scrape a distinction.

As a student, and a Christian, my purpose of studying is to glorify God through my studies, and regrettably I haven't been doing this for the past 5 years, adopting a no-chap attitude for the majority of my time in nushs. I'd like to go back in time and punch myself for that, haha. No joke though. I'd really like to do that.

So yea. I'd really really like to do that :D

Studies, to me, isn't about getting good grades, getting a good diploma, get into a good course, get a good job and earn big bucks. Yes, on the surface I would sometimes say things that would contradict what I am saying here, (I really should stop doing that), it's about getting good grades, and glorifying God through them. After all, He is the one who gives me those, because I've put in the necessary efforts. I don't want to earn big bucks because I want to be rich. I just want to be financially stable, I just want to be able to live life. Well, anyway I've already decided that a tenth of my future salary should be for offerings (it's written in the bible)*. Granted, earning more means I can give more. But it's never about getting rich. I don't want to get rich. Riches breed arrogance (for example, CZY). That's the last thing I want.
