Graduation Day
So i guess this is it. The end of "foundation-level education" or whatever you call it. To be honest, out of all my terms in my past schools, this has probably been the most memorable one yet. I guess it boils down to the fact that it's the period of our lives where we are defined. Or maybe rather who we choose to be. I don't think it's 'when' we are defined per se as anyone can take a short period of time to change with just a quick decision. It's important who we choose to be at this part of our life because probably at this point, everyone around you is able to make pinpoint judgements and assumptions of your character. At this point, everyone's old enough to realise if you're down-to-earth, genuine, a manipulator or a chameleon etc.. And again, it's 'who you choose to be' because i believe everyone's very nice when you individual sit them down and have a talk. It's really who you choose to be.
Well, CJ's been an enjoyable time with all its dramas and excitements. It's really a period where i learnt a lot abt life (probably more than i've learnt in classrooms and lectures. haha) I wanted to list down every person who taught me important lessons but i realised it'll be a bit tooo personal. Haha. Well, the least i could do is list the more notable people i've come to meet in CJ at the end of this.
As much as i didn't see myself saying this, i'll miss my class. It's ironic how i'm saying this given the amount of time i spend with them outside of lesson time. But really, you guys have some of the more compelling personalities without any inflation. It's just sad that politics outdo our efforts to be one class. But i still love you guys. I just realised that i was the only person in class to experience you guys taking time to celebrate it with me. First the half-failed suprise in J1 where some of you came down during a school holiday and pulled me out during a band practice to cut the cake with me. Then the naise dinner at Timbre with the Princess Bday cake and Giraffe after that. Heehee.
So heregoesnothin',
-2T02 for bring an outlet of my not-so-funny jokes and making classes at least half-entertaining.
-the supposed "SClub7" which inevitably recruited more members hahaha; for making after school filled albeit wasting much of our time making fun of people and each other and doing not-so agreable things.
-the St. Gab's boys (esp JOSHUA CHEW for not forgetting me despite how much i tend to neglect you guys)
-the OBS people for helping me believe in myself of my leadership qualities throughout the camp
-CJC Symphonic Band for affirming this belief in myself and making my 2 years in band worth every single practice
-Bishan guys (aka Freddie, ZY, WW, G. Tang, Phelan) for Christmas and that sleepover.
-FRIED RICE PARADISE for helping each other achieve rockstar status we constantly dream about, even if it's only for one night. hahahahaha!
-and last but not the least the 4Balls: Christabel, Cristalbelle, Shalini, Sherrie (a term Yunsong coined for you girls cos the 4 of you always seemed to be together) for the all fun times and stories you all can come up with and, for various lessons each of you,in one way or another have taught me. hehehe (and don't even try and use this against me to patronise me please)
Well i guess we'll tell ourselves that we've matured more by now. We ought realise that maturity don't come with years but how we use these years and whether we choose to spend this time by being immature and using to doing things that make us less humane. It's not just being independent we always think it to be. Even then, "being independent is not about being able to cook for yourself, do your own laundry, or travelling on public transport, (or making decisions on your own). It's about being able to pick yourself up when youre down and no one's around" (yes Asyraf this is the cue for you to give a beaming smile for gaining some publicity on your self-made quote). We all know how to be mature and independent. Life's about applicatiion and choosing to be mature and independent.
So yeah. There's goes a prolonged one, all my thoughts and feelings at the moment. I'll miss school really. I'm sounding real GAY and FAGGOTISH but hell. I really do. Drop a comment if you're on the list and seen it, if you wish.
