anyway hi guys i'm back for a short update. it has been a hectic few weeks which practically went by like this. 

1) wake up at 620am every morning with blood shot eyes and a fatigued mind
2) drags myself to school and stone every single moment I get
3) sleep during refresh/joke around with da st john boys
4) attempt to sleep in class
5) wallows in self pity 
6) getting all depressed and worried and stressed that I just zone out
7) block out the world and live in my own bubble of depression
8) study till 10pm damn fucking tired and then sleep.

isn't my life interesting lol. 

today was supposed to be a happy day because I was supposed to meet up with the 2F people. but in the end changed to tomorrow and I just so damn stressed I don't even think I'll have the mental strength to go tomorrow lol. oral was pretty ok, ms haryati laughed at me cos i said "71 years old young lady" >< so obvious that its a make up example lmao. but anyway it was overall a very bad day because i lost myself after lunch and i was raging to everybody. i didn't want to implicate more people so i threw my phone aside and started to immerse myself into my extreme moodiness and i was contemplating over my purpose in life and why am i even alive. but its ok i'm over that stage now. it was a rough afternoon. 

a shout out to all the people who stayed by me despite my impertinent mood swings and bullshit every single day. thanks guys your efforts to keep me sane and alive is greatly appreciated :) my best friends are my only supporting pillar now without them i wouldn't have surpass all these crap. i think you guys are the bestest bestest bestest people i can ever wish for in this whole wide world. thank you thank you thank you :)

ok this is a practice for the composition essay on monday. skip it if you find it too boring ok? and the question i'm going to be talking about on is "Do you agree that stress in secondary school is beneficial for students?"

What is stress? The literal meaning of stress describes it to be a negative impact that takes a toll on one's mental and physical well-being. In my opinion, stress can stretch one's potential and bring out the best in our younger generation, however, too much stress will cause adverse effects and this would most definitely backfire on the Ministry's plan of cultivating young talents. 

Firstly, too much competition with foreign talents in Singapore can cause the local students to doubt their abilities and henceforth not put in more effort in their studies. This can be clearly seen in many schools in Singapore, whereby the local students have to compete with the elites of the elites- the China scholars. Facing such a strong and potential threat, many Singaporeans will lose their drive and determination to work harder to beat these talents, as the local students know that it is highly impossible to be better than the scholars. Increased in competition in school also means increased in stress level for the students. This might cause them to slacken and Singapore will lose many potential, intelligent and creative thinkers. Therefore, increasing competition and stress level in schools will not benefit the students. 

Secondly, high stress level can cause students to perform below their "norm" during the examinations. When there is a large competition in school, students are more likely to fight for the top few positions in school. However good this seems, the students would also be more likely to fawn over the examinations and spend more time stressing themselves over doing well rather than studying smart. This could cause a lot of precious time to slip away and ultimately, this would affect the student's performance during the examinations. Furthermore, stress can cause a student to forget what he/she memorized during their revision. This would implicate panic and the student would no doubt do badly for the examinations. 

However, I do concede the fact that certain levels of stress is beneficial for the students. Stress would propel students to do their best and push them to overcome their limits. Students would also be able to have breakthroughs and this would indefinitely stretch their potential further. However, I do not believe that by implementing high stress levels in school would benefit all students. Most students in this generation cannot withstand high pressure and are likely to crack under stress. This problem can be easily mitigated by the school coming up with innovative ideas to motivate students, instead of suffocating students with barricades of stress and pressure. Such ideas can include having certain famous personalities to talk about their success story, safe in knowing that this would no doubt interest and motivate students. 

By reducing the stress level in schools, I believe that students can help each other and together achieve great results to bring glory to the school. I strongly believe that stress isn't the most feasible method in motivating students to work hard. With that, I would like to end of this essay with a shout out to all leaders of schools in Singapore, review your education system and start by putting yourself in the students' shoes. If you can't take stress at your age, can we at ours? 

I think my essay is highly irrelevant and provocative but its just something I came up with in like 33mins so forgive me ok. good luck for EOY everybody and do well, don't crack under stress. 

ENDING OFF THIS BLOG POST WITH A QUOTE.
