Precipice That Is Not Mine

Today's care group meeting was held at Josh Tay's place, with the most number of people I've seen in attendance. Two things about the mix of people is on particular interest - the number of AC kids makes up about 50%, and the number of people in my year a similar proportion. Speaking of the people of 1990/2008 - I would think that the country would be hard pressed to find another batch as capable, if the recent newspaper reports are anything to go by. Yay us, seriously.

As my friends complete one phase and others begin another, I'm always found reflecting, seeing where I fit in amongst all this change. That's why I titled my first post with a title "Soul-Searching Amidst Constant Change". Thinking was one of the rare luxuries I was afforded during my six weeks in Ladang, and that habit has continued unabated, though now I supplement it with spending my time in other equally illuminating and progressive pursuits. The draw of simply whiling time away when not at work is strong, but as I've learnt in all my years, a useful skill is being able to extend the fixed hours in a day to accommodate both this and every other productive activity. I hope to add to my applications and other academic stuff (either during or after this course thingum + my leave) more nightly outings, personal development (revise driving after reading both books thoroughly during my 20 sentry hours) and work of some sort, perhaps tuition. Entirely hypothetical, but worth thinking about.
