Hands up

Remember my weather report last Tuesday?

At the end of my post I mentioned that I was on my way to hibernate because I will be having a History quiz in the afternoon and I honestly, desperately want a perfect score? Well, I got my paper back today, and guess what … *jeng jeng jeng* … 110 marks, perfect score! Aha, I’m so happy. It’s like, finally, after 2 months of tedious classes and crazy quizzes, someone (which happens to me) finally gets to beat my treacherous History lecturer and her manipulative questions. I’m so proud :D No one has ever aced her paper with a perfect score before, thank you Jesus!

Which reminds me, I had a convo with a certain old friend from Malaysia last night. We were discussing the opportunity to change yourself and become the person you aspire to be when you get a fresh start in a foreign place. It’s usually hard to do so at where you come from because too many impressions were made and people are not generous when it comes to second chance. So I shared the fact of me being very serious  when it comes to my responsibilities as a student here in Taiwan, I told him that I was doing very well academically as compared to my rotten attendance and rock bottom grades during high school.

He paused for the longest time before saying, ‘Omg Bree, what have you been doing with your lecturers?!’

-.- See what I mean?

I know that I’ve changed for the better even back in high school, and my close friends are witnesses. But I want to do more than that and be even better here at Taiwan. Things are going smoother here because there are no past judgements to trip me. Which gives me a lot of space to grow and expand. I know that there is a lot more to do, because I am still a work in progress. What I’m trying to say is I am exploring, discovering, experimenting and learning. And the joy of learning is super rewarding.

A very inspiring video I watched on you tube yesterday hit me with a very true saying, there is no try, it does not exist, or you give yourself a medium to ‘not do’; there is no past, because it is a subjective memory; there is no future, because it is a predictive projection. All you have is now now now now now, and do do do do do.

What are you waiting for? :D
