The time is chasing me

Leonardo da Vinci -
I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approve their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.

No doubt, my friends would know, this semester seems more harsh and packed. Until I couldn't stop the train from continue choo-chooing. It has to rush from time to time. Until I got no little piece of time to be mine. When I was free, I looked at myself in the mirror. When I was free, I lie on my bed and flashed back the old-time memory. When I was free, I met my friends and laughed with them. When I was free, I played badminton twice a week. But now, I don't! I don't have even few minutes to rest my mind.

I do my assignments. One done, but two more come, two done, then quizzes come. Obviously, task-to-be-done in this semester seem never stop until the end of July, there comes final exam. How cruel is this world. Or I can say, how cruel could I treat myself in such a way. No. Or is it a training or a practice so that I can be a tough girl in the future? But, is there any other things else I missed when I was rushing in this choo-choo train?

I found myself getting weaker and weaker, in term of health. I found myself sleep in 2 o' clock in the morning everyday. I found myself have thicker eyebags and dark circles. I found myself feel tired easily. But, I could't stop the choo-choo.

I wanted to meet up my old friends and talk to them. I wanted to get enough sleeping. I wanted to go outdoor activities. I wanted to eat ice-cream. I wanted to go for steamboat buffet. But, the choo-choo doesn't want to stop. I got no enough time. Or I don't manage my time really well?

Slow down.
and everything you are chasing will come around and chase you. =)
Look at the people and things around you. When you slow down, you will find everything is colorful. And a small tiny thing can make you smile too.
Treat myself better is the best way to release the stress. Smile, Lim Joo Li!! =)
