Grand grad.
Yesterday was our Graduation Day. And I never expected myself to cry despite the fact that it was sizzling hot under the covered court of my school.
I was actually out of words to say when it was our Graduation Day. All morning, I was struggling on what would I tell my friends. But I ended hugging them, speechless and ready to be broken into pieces. For the past four years, I fought battles I never expected to win. I battled myself from telling myself that this life is just worth dying for. I battled myself with answering millions of quizzes, hundreds of examination papers and seat works for four years. I battled myself from learning the ideal pair of x and y and how to get the length of the hypotenuse while using the famous pythagorean theorem. I harboured myself from falling apart while falling in and out of love. I told myself that this is just the beginning of everything else between. And for four years, I learned valuable lessons, shared experiences with my friends and teachers and met one of the most important people in my life. It was a great pity I didn't tried my best in being a good student. I guess regret really is always in the end. But these are the things I won't ever forget and regret... and I hope they will stay with me.
So, what did happened yesterday? Lots of crying, lots of thanking and of course, lots of pictures! The Graduation Day ran smoothly and we always tell to ourselves, "Is this really happening?" kind of vibe. It was really happening. Tears were replaced with flashes of camera. Most of my friends and classmates were goofing around. I learned lots of things these past four years. I wonder, ten years from now, will we see each other? Haha. So sorry for the nonsense post. I just feel sad.
