what is ur (secret) talent?

to me, my "talent"(yes, i would like to believe that EVERYONE has a talent, so i can always still tell myself my talent is jus unknown for now, and not that i don't have a talent) is still undiscovered, thus a secret.

i noe more or less the "talents" of ppl around me. be it they are naturally smart, have a friendly and likeable personality, have the ability to make people laugh (to giv ppl the gift of laughter is something everyone likes, so if one can make ppl laugh, feel happy, den one wil be easily liked by everyone. =) but unfortunately ), sensitive to people's feelings, have the self-discipline, have the will to perservere on, have the great sense of responsibility, have the ability to aptly express oneself whether in thoughts or words... the list jus goes on. =) can u identify the traits which i thought might be u? =)

maybe my talent is that i can "see" the talents of others haha (or mayb it's because that sometimes i think too lowly of myself such that other ppl jus seem so much better.)

the june holiday is almost up! we are all approaching mid hol! and i've done not much work! wat an achievement! every sentence in this paragraph ends with an exclamation mark! simply because i'm trying to mask the sense of doom with enthusiasim! i wonder if i'm succeeding! -.-

ok that was a weird paragraph. but bleah. i hope the point that i'm trying to put across (subtly?) has been comprehended (now is there even such a word?)

ok, the fear of failure (imagine that despite trying ever soooo hard, i won't get the results i wan, so wat's the point of trying?) can be overwhelming and i think this is wat has been my obstacle this whole year. but i haven figure a way to overcome it yet. mayb it'l be too late. but i guess in the meantime, al i can do without breaking down is to try my best (my best may not be enough perhaps. but i WILL do my best. i will i will i will i will...)

now is this trying too hard to convince myself? well, i'm used to trying hard now, arne't i? this is the year of the pig (and despite this yr boding ill for those born the yr of snake) and hard work wil be valued. it's the the degree of being valued that i'm worried about.

bleah. am tired. gng swimming again tmr (went on fri and i successfully cramped and sprain (i think because it's still feeling weird now) my muscles and embarrrassing myself when i TRIED to climb out of the pool but splashing back in with a HUGE "splash" accompanied by my bro's hysterical and amused GIGGLINGS.). hope it doesn't rain. gold certificate test is on wed! and unlike my bro (whom the teacher say is of OLYMPIC calibre), i can choke on my own breathing when i get too tired.), thus i need the "training" (if u can call occasional trips to the pool "training")
