I knew from the moment when i landed in Singapore after my short seclusion abroad, that all would be bleak and little bright.

I knew from the moment when i saw the clock tick, that the times I had to vegetate and rot would soon be gone and the time of reckoning would come.

I will soon know that this christmas is bittersweet and fuses sorrow with joy.

I will soon know what life the J2s led and how they pulled through.

I do not know however, what would become of myself after a year of academia and probably 2 years of physical torture.

3 years. It'll be critical.

Jingle bells jingle bells... jingle all the way...
Merry christmas to you all.
