I'm 14...

Sometimes I feel that I aged too fast, sometimes I feel that I'm still too young.

I'm 14 this year. I'm Form 3 this year. PMR is nothing

In 2 years time, when I'm 16, it'll be form 5. SPM is SOMETHING all right. If I don't do well in it.. sigh.

16 is too young to decide my destiny in my working life!

Soon, I'll have to choose whether I want to take Arts or Science stream. Another step that will decide my future.

Normal people choose Science if possible. I KNOW it's possible for me, but my problem is, I don't WANT to. I'll drown in Maths and Maths and Maths and Maths there.

So far, I still want to become a teacher. So I'll have to do form 6. And.. after reading a newspaper article, I may be considered 'underaged' to do form 6! :'(.

Underage underage underage.. I wish no one knew that I'm supposed to be in form 2. This year MORE people found out somemore because they stuck our IC numbers up on the classroom wall for the world to see! People just look at you differently when they find out you're a year younger than them. After so many years, I finally feel that I fit in right with the 15 year olds.

Since I entered form 1, I really feel in place. In standard 5 and 6 everyone knew you as a 'jump class kid'. In form 1.. I kept that information pretty low profile. But.. still somehow people found out. My IC number is a dead giveaway!

Still, I made many close friends in secondary school. To some of them I'm 'smart' because I skipped year 4, but I figure that I've caught up with the 'elder' ones by now.

And then there are the ones that consider me 'younger' than them. Therefore they are more 'mature'. These people anger me the most. I try not to get angry, but sometimes I can't help it. So what if I'm a few months younger than you??

Oh yeah, form 2s out there, forgive me if I ever treated you as a 'younger' one. If I did, it's probably because I forget that I'm your age. =)

God bless
