ever since the gun went off at the starting line, we've ran and ran and ran. one lap had gone by, two laps, three laps... as the race drew on, our legs grew weary, lactic begin to flood our legs, we began to feel breathless, tried hard to get ourselves to focus, and stuck with the leading pack as much as we could. soon we began to loose count of how many laps have passed, how many laps are left.
suddenly, the sound of the ringing bell broke the silence, signaling the final lap. "it is now or never", we told ourselves, and opened up our strides...

before prelims started, i remember telling myself this:
"i hope prelims kill me and wake me up"
well, be careful what you wish for 'cos it might just come true, and it did. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell that i'm not satisfied with my results. this is the first time i've felt this way ever since jc life started as i've always been ok with my test results. so what if the grades i get are quite decent? i know i could have done better, i know i've failed to hit the expectations i've set for myself, and i know my expectations for myself were well within my reach.
at least i've got the other thing i wanted: for prelims to kill me so that i can wake up and start whacking for As. they always say that what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger. i'm able to understand that so much better now. so A levels, watch out because i'm not not holding back anymore. it's now or never.
how the last lap will end is all up to you, and only you.
