Relishing in the Now

Do excuse this sudden influx of posts.

I suddenly have lots to record. It's possibly because I've been unpacking and finding little pieces of my childhood and getting excited whenever I see something I wrote or drew. So here's me writing to potentially give my future self a smile. :P

It's the beginning of the end. We had our last last day of school. Oh dear. I can't believe that we'll be in Year 12 next year when I can so distinctly remember Year 7. I don't feel mature, experienced, wise enough to be so old. High school is flashing by so fast. I feel like I'm grasping the strings of time, trying to hold it down but it's silky string so it's slipping through my fingers. Sigh. Live in the moment. Enjoy right now else it'll be over and I'll have missed it.

Anywho, Patchwork was given out, a mini crane was made by a bored me while service awards were awarded, photo powerpoints and a reflection of 2012 presented by Ms Watkins, Social Work Committee announced (I promise to be wholeheartedly involved because it is something I care about), an extremely korean dance sesh with 11T and reports! Just the usual class-free day at PLC.

Then.. dun dun dun! Tracy, Vic, Isabel, Neha and I went to watch The Perks of Being a Wallflower. And cue life changing music. Heee. It was jam-packed with every emotion and had soul stuffed in every corner. Heart-wrenching, heart-warming and heart-breaking. Charlie was such an endearing character and Sam (Emma Watson!) was her usual charming, animated self. The stories were so relatable and encompassed the sufferings and joys of teenagehood. Proof? I never cry in movies, never ever (except once in My Sister's Keeper), but in Perks, the tears just wouldn't stop. It wasn't sad, exactly; more like I felt the character's feelings in my very core. Odd, right? I wasn't even sleep deprived or pms-ing. Bhaha. I need to watch it again. It's actually my new favourite movie.

"And in that moment, I swear we were infinite."
Me.
