Lessons...2 years on...

I always thought that I have done everything that I could in my ability and cannot do anymore further...

But I learnt a few lessons this week. Lessons that taught me how to judge myself in the face of other people and how to correctly move on from here.

As I met 2 of my old classmates yesterday, we happened to talk about stuff that we do not really talk about since we never met for the last few years or so. Time flies...

As one of them told me about her experiences...I cannot help but marvel at her...

Staying in hall, doing multiple CCAs...doing social work, and graduating with honours.

That really made me look like crap when I think about myself. I learnt a harsh lesson about challenging myself to new limits. Stress is necessary, but what I learnt yesterday is that I have to effectively use stress to my advantage.

And also, I have to practise a lot more on time management, and also on diplomacy and etc...Time to brush up on them.

I also discovered that for myself, the key critical thing is to realise that I do not have much time to do what I really want to do...so I must now prioritise and decide the things which I can properly devote myself in...and enjoy what I love to do...in that manner, I can remove some of my pessimism and stay happy.

So for the million dollar question for me is: What career should I pursue...?

I am stuck at 2 choices now, but I cannot decide on which one is really the one which I should do...I guess I do not have much time left to think about this...that's a worry.

Also, I guess I need to end off Rag properly. I realised that especially since I did not make it in time to see the dancers perform yesterday that I must understand one crucial point: I have indeed done my very best for Rag.

Indeed, to have given 3 years of my life for Arts Rag is the most massive commitment that I have done for any project ever. I can safely say that save my job, I cannot have that passion to do for any other project that I will get involved in in the future, maybe forever.

Arts Rag has now become etched inseperably from the happy part of my university life: dreams that I thought were not possible were finally realised everytime I join Rag and see it through as part of the happy family that I know called Raggers.

Rag 2004 - Realisation of the last Rag with the seniors who have done it all since Dragon Rag.

Rag 2005 - Completion of a new breakthrough concept under the worst of all circumstances.

Rag 2006 - The best float that I have been in, Arts has ever seen for now, and justifiably one that will be the benchmark for all other Rags to surpass...

With that, I leave Rag with the happy memories and all...I am raggerfied.
