the chain effect

the theme of today's post is called: choices--the chain effect

i was studying with veron and wei jin at jp library today, break was over a plate of prata. they were chatting about the times in JWSS(jurong west secondary school) , who were the top, the 'imbas' the best, where they were, the subjects, how come some of them went to poly instead of jc, the best went to ajc, nyjc then jj etc.
my mind started to wander off.. to the past.....

my psle score.. if i had chosen fuhua instead of jurong sec. what would happen.
i supposed my aggreagte score of 231 could get me into fuhua, enter just by the inch.
my mentality was that, if i was the lowest, i would most probably be in the worst and bottom class.
i was naive. i get it.

let's see... if i went to fuhua instead: i'd meet new people, everyone from fuhua in jj, i would most probably know. i would most probably be really low profile as i know i probably have the lowest psle score there, and everyone would be better than me. i would have no standing. i would have zero confidence. but the consolation is.. i would meet the nice people that are in jj now. haha :)

the choice of going to jss.. instead of fuhua. was it wrong? its a chain effect that goes on.
at first i regretted it. then again.. i ponder upon it.

jss: one of the best in sec 1 and 2 class. great friendship that is still lasting. joined council. kind of excelled in school. had 2 ccas. joined arena. if i went to fuhua.. i may not have these opportunities. i would probably just be some loner in sch. jss made me into who i am today. the confidence i have today. the mentality, the drive, the clare. it would be different if i made another choice. haha

wrapping up. i'm glad that i went to jss. and blessed to have met the great fuhua people in the same jc haha
memories will stay with me forever.

lesson learnt: do not regret on the choices you make. the more you think about it, you cannot change anything as well, so don't fret over it :)
