Breaking Free - High School Musical

Gah! Life has been sort of a slump these few days =X Nah, there’s nothing to worry about. It’s just that the past three weeks have been a mental and physical challenge for me. During the two week vacations I had, I trudged wearily down to school almost everyday to complete my MFS project. I had my share of fun during the vacation with loads of memories but the project itself was enough a torture for me.

I presented my MFS project with my dear project mates and I was really more than just satisfied with our project. We worked hard for it and we presented it to our tutor with pride. It was our masterpiece. I was also impressed with the work accomplished by the other groups. They really did a wonderful job, our class is really a superb one. Sigh, if only class politics didn’t exist. Wished I could just banish all the misery and hatred from one another. Yeah, I know some of you guys may feel that it sound easy but difficult to execute, but have u tried. Just remember that we are humans. You see, to err is human, but have u realized that to forgive is divine?

I have been ill for the past few days. Haha. I had two ulcers in my throats in one and a half month. It is really terrible and vexing me to the point that I almost want to cry. Please never get ulcers in your throats, it is the last thing that you will ever want to encounter.

Well, moving on, I just want to talk about life. LIFE, it is a difficult journey that each individual will have to take. There will be the expressways that make life a breeze and there will be the unstable worn down bridges that intend to topple you when u least expect it. There are the daily tribulations that we have to face everyday. From the small quarrels we have with our friends, the really PATHETIC inter-school politics (it still really irks me until today), the life and death decisions that we have to make, and the fear of being outcasted from society to name a few. All of us must be able to be prepared and focused unless you want the lousy old bridge to topple you over.

But then again, no one can always be prepared. There are times when we let our guard down and the problems start climbing up our ankles and irking us until we wished we could just go to hell. Yes, yes. As I mentioned earlier, life has its own tribulations, we can prevent them but there are times when we have to face the devil and conquer that nefarious fellow.

Some of us may just break down under the intense pressure even without giving a fight, some of us will also go into a depression while fighting it and there are some of us who will fight and fight to win the war. It all depends on our determination, our will to succeed and giving that “Never Say Die” attitude! Just remember that no matter how tough the world may crush its weight on you, if you have the will, THERE is and will always a way.

But hold on, life is not just a miserable journey. Remember the expressway I told you about. Yeah! That’s right. Life is filled with loads of joy and happiness too. With our senses, we can enjoy what life has to offer to us humans. I’m glad that I have the ability to smile, to laugh, to cry tears of happiness, to be able to shout out and confess my love to the world. These are gifts that life has given us and we should always cherish. You only have one life and I really understand when people say that life is short. Go and dream the impossible. Set your life a blaze! COME ON! Don’t let misery be the reason that is pulling you down from what happiness this world can offer. Whatever tribulations you may encounter, don’t fret about it. Don’t. It’s not worth it at all. Enjoy life =)

When in life, just before I end, just want to part some of my last thoughts. I always believe in thinking ahead. Have a vision and goal in life. Don’t ever lose sight of what you dream to achieve and work hard toward the finish line. That is my philosophy. It may be a little far fetched to most people but trust me, when the day you have to plan comes, it may be a little too late. Start now.

So, break free from the conformities of life. Liberate yourself from all the conventional rules that we have to follow. Don’t try to be someone whom you are not. Always be yourself and when true happiness finally finds you, there can only be one word that can describe that, PRICELESS.
