When It Takes Over

Everyone knows this yet everyday we are still amazed at how time passes by so fast. You wake up in the morning and realize it's your birthday today. You were brushing your teeth when you looked up in the mirror and realized a few wrinkles on your forehead. The teacher is teaching in the classroom when you suddenly realized, you're not 15 anymore. Rather than Maths, it's Additional Maths. Rather than Science, its Biology, Physics and Chemistry.

It's already April and my birthday is approaching. Lately, I've been so busy with competitions that I forget to spend a little time for myself. Didn't even have the time to think. Practice over. Eat. Sleep. Wake up and repeat the routine all over again. I was so busy that even the weekends I was at school or somewhere. All of that made me realize of how a robot I can be all in the name of certificates. It was worth it though. Through all these, I made new friends, built relationships and put myself in situations that I never knew I could handle. It tested my capability and my determination to get what I want. I am glad that my hard work paid off. Now, I finally get to be in class like an ordinary student. Oh, it is heaven!

With great power comes great responsibility. That is indeed true. I have many commitments in school. When someone calls me, it is because I have to finish up something or arrange a meeting or what so ever not. I just love the feeling when I look at my handphone and there is no missed calls or no messages. It feels as if I have nothing else left to do. But of course, that is totally BS. There is always something I need to complete and right now, I really need to study. Can you imagine ? Three weeks of missing class?

My little moments of pleasure now are the moments when I get the chance to read a novel or just listen to music and do absolutely nothing. Even if just for a moment. A moment of total peace.

As I've said, my birthday is coming soon. It's on 6th June, just so you know. Last year, I went to Langkawi with Calister and papa. Drank lots of kampai! Saw a shirtless guy jogging on the street :D Yes, I'm getting older. HaHa. Hopefully, I'll be able to go out of the country for at least 1 week and celebrate my birthday there! I've been waiting to go to 'watermelon' for so long!!! It would definitely be a dream come true.

Till next time,
Katherine :)
