I know I had a post somewhat similar to this sometime ago.
But the context is completely different.
For one, I'm not writing this from a bitter, jaded perspective anymore!
Ha. I'm my old self once again.

As we were discussing in the library earlier, ALOT of people in NJ are getting attached.
Unexpectedly, people I didn't even realise know each other suddenly appear as a couple. Surprise surprise. People like Kah Ho, Michelle, Ming Han.... Really, there's too many to list. This trend has been going on since around June I think? And all the J2's seem to have fallen into this wave.

Some would say: ' Prelims coming! A's coming! You can't get attached now!'
Tell those critics and naysayers to fuck off.
Love comes and goes as it likes. If you don't treasure it while it's within reach, you could end up regretting your entire life. Trust me. I know.
In this time of stress, where everyone's smiles have been replaced by weary frowns of frustration, where our hair is slowly turning white one strand at a time, a little love can't be bad!!!
Love brings joy to our lives. Knowing that out there, in this cruel, materialistic world, someone worries about you, cares about you, is enough to bring a smile to anyone's face.(Or at least mine)
Knowing that even if the world screwed you up, someone will stand by you. Come hellfire and brimstone, you'll still find them by your side.
When you get stuck at a maths question, when you can't remember chemical formula's, you look at your phone to see a message: " You made my day :) ". You can't hold back a smile.
You feel happy again.

People!
This will be the most stressful time of our lives! And you think we should wall ourselves off from the outside world? Time to bring some happiness back into our lives. Learn to love (again).

PS: As a sidenote, I find it particularly ironic that out of all the J2 couples in NJ, barely, if any, of the originals from last year PAE remain.
Those like Felix, Kian Hwee , and, me.
