\\*When Darkness Turns To Light...*//

It ends tonight. That's simple. I do hope life's as simple as that though. My whole family's enjoying themselves in Malaysia again and hi! I am sitting here in Singapore as usual. With them gone, problems start cropping up. First thing in the morning...

My rooster alarm started to sound. It's my phone by the way. "Cockadoodledoo!" It went on for about 3 times before I forced my eyes open. I felt for the phone under the pillow and pressed the stop button without even having to look at it. I took a vague glance at the time: 8:15am. Then, groaning, I went back to my dream. I didn't really dream though because the next thing I knew,

"Eh! You don't need to go meh?"

"Mphf..."

"Eh! Hello! You don't need to go?"

I blinked. There, right in front of me was my sister who had apparently came back from school because she heard the wrong timing for basketball training.

"Go where?" I mumbled groggily.

"Erm... Band?" came the reply. I rubbed my eyes, continuing to stare at her blankly. Then, without warning, a sudden jolt of realisation hit me so hard that I jumped up from the bed instantaneously. Oh no, oh no. I picked up the phone. 5 missed calls and no space for new messages. My eyes flashed to the bottom right-hand corner of the screen: 9:28am. GREAT! I was late. Very, very late. I sat down again, wondering what to do. After pondering for about half an hour, I decided to go during the lunch break since I had to settle my own lunch.

So anyway, band sucked. As usual. I can't say anymore on a blog where anybody could be reading, but I do know that the next time we have band practices, please bring some bananas. It'll help a lot. Turns out that I was late for 3 hours. It was 15mins/set. Quite an acceptable deal. I accumulated 12 sets and since I'm in the committee, 24 was the number. I can do it? was ringing in my messed up brain. In the end, the very kind Brandon gave each and every one of us 5 sets. Such a great deal. Bridget, you're lucky. However, that caused some innocent beings to get punished too and I felt slightly guilty about it. Not so, since Li Yue saboed me to do the notice board with her. Anyway, my vision started swimming as I was completing my 5th round and my poor legs were feeling the strain. I was incurring an oxygen debt and I was darn sure about it. I could just fall any moment but I told myself to keep going because I did not want to squish some millipedes or momos.

I'm quite okay now. Only feeling slightly exhausted. I had thought I was going to get a cramp but I was stronger than I thought. In just 5 minutes, I was up and about again. One thing I learned today,

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.
