It's the third day of 2009. Time flies without waiting, and time will fly even faster this year. What was 2008 like for me? A bitter yet thrilling roller coaster ride, all the ups, all the downs, and of course all the 360 degree rides.
Of course, first thing first, the biggest change in environment, since I've been in a girls' school for 10 years (: Also, the change in system, it's no longer classroom teaching, it's lecture and tutorial style. Anyway, I started off feeling reluctant, for I was posted to CJC when I wanted SAJC / AJC, I tried my best by appealing. Sadly, I didn't make it through. It seems to be a joke, Pei just suddenly ask me to try out NYJC, since she's there, I decided to try my luck (the fact that it was near closing date for appealing). It was amazing how I can successfully appeal out, since it was really a last minute thing. Nevertheless, I didn't carry much hope for it to be fun, I went there purely cause Xuan and Pei were there. The first day I came to NYJC, a fresh feeling with a tinge of excitement, found my OG and sat there quietly. I told myself, I want a different change, thus I decided to give it all out and be really enthusiastic about the whole Orientation. Indeed, it was great pleasure to be in that OG, the fun, the laughters, the joy, everything was just perfect. The only funny thing was, why isn't my name on the namelist? After lessons started, then I realised, I was in the wrong OG, what a joke uh? But it was definitely a blessing. Orientation was a blast, OG15 is the bomb!
Since PAE brought me so much joyous moments, I've decided to stay on. I thought and I hoped really hard that JAE was also the same, but I was too naive. Being an OGL was really difficult, be it trying to mix around with a new group of friends, or trying my best to be a good OGL, it was not easy. And things stopped falling in place nicely. I faced friendship problems at the start of the term, where I keep moving around, which at times made me felt so horrible, felt so lonely, felt so out of place. And I've learnt, when time and circumstances change, things can't remain at it is, not even friends. At the same time, I wanted to accomplish many things, till an extent I forget my limited ability to do so many things. I finally fell after Mid years. It was the scariest moment I had- failing all the subjects. It was then I got to realised, I've got to let go. I started to plan, and finally gave up all my responsibilites and went back dancing, and serving in church, and of course trying to catch up with my work. It was tough, but at least I know it's all worth it.
Finally when school ended, I felt so relieved, and it's finally time for me to recharged! Though the holiday is still rather mundane for me, but at least it was a fruitful one. 2008 let me realise how weak I really was, how vulnerable am I, how useless am I. It was then I realised the importance to plan ahead, the importance of my religion, I've learnt to stay optimistic no matter how difficult it is, looking at things at a different perspective, and smile even if I'm in a difficult situation.
Pei: Hey, how long have we known each other? 3years?! It's amazing how God placed you in my life and since then, we didn't have any big conflicts! Remembering the days we spent together everyday! Tablemates, Ajisen, snacking, playing, cam whoring, Japanese food, shopping, chilling, studying, and the list goes on. Though we're in different schools now, but I'm glad we didn't end the chapter there! You have been an awesome girl, who is there to help me out in Math, gossiping about stupid lame stuff, thank you! (: If I didn't know you, life in Diligence will be different, life will not be as wonderful, and of course, I won't be in NYJC xD
Wanyi: Hey Lessy, I only got to meet you like twice this year?! Life's really different without your sudden laughter, your company.. I really miss you alot. In times of difficulties, you're there to give me a hug, to cheer me on. Even on normal school days, you will surprise me with little things. Those are the memories I've kept since then (: I really hope I'll get to see you soon, be it exercising, studying or plain talking and cam whoring (:
Celeste: Thank you for everything Lao gong! Though I've only seen you twice this year, but nevertheless, I still love you alot! Thanks for all the sweet and wonderful moments in secondary 3 and 4 (: No matter what, you're the best lao gong!
Mervis: Thank you for supporting me throughout the year. Whenever I needed advices, you will be there to help me, providing me with different solutions. Anytime I needed a wake up call, you will be there to remind me about what should be placed in the top priority, and giving me a big push. Indeed, there're times when we faced misunderstandings, but I was glad you will always give in to me, to give me a call to explain and talk things out. I'm really happy to have a friend like you, trying all different ways to encourage me to study! Though it's barely a year, but you have been a very great friend! Thank you for adding such great colours to my life!
Jolene: Buddy! It wasn't a very smooth year, but we all got through it! Sorry for leaving suddenly in the starting of the year, I was indeed selfish for I was afraid I'll be hurt. It's really foolish of me. Nevertheless, you didn't give up on me, instead, you helped me through the tough months after Mid years. You were there to listen to my ranting, my whining, my nonsense, and even encouraging me to persevere. You cheered me on till the end of the race, thank you very much! I'm sorry if I wasn't sensitive enough, I'm sorry if I've done the wrong things unknowingly, I'm sorry if I've hurt you one way or another. But thank you for being a pillar of comfort and support for me. If it wasn't you, I may not have the courage to come this far!
Janice: Monster! I know this year wasn't very great, but congrats, because we got it through! We promoted! You've brought much fun, joy, laughter for thr group. You were there to support me too, and I thank you very much for every little moments we share! May we work even harder this year and strive to do our very best! I can't wait for everything to end and we can play, work, shop, go crazy together!!!
Xin Ying & Wanshu: Hey babes, thanks for making this year a blast, with you in the class, you have made it wonderful, be it Xin Ying's 'wo bu xi huan' or Wanshu's funky crazy dramatic actions, it definitely brought much laughter and fun to me! Let's all work hard this year (:
Alvin: Hello Chipmunk, you're like the only new friend I still talk to in the OG I take. How amazing! Anyway, thanks for all the crazy moments, be it basketball, studying at night, playing the guitar, teaching me vectors in the day and even the night and making me laugh! If it wasn't for you, life after-school will be boring for me. Thank you for giving in to me always, tolerating with my nonsense, keeping me accompany, and even making sure my dad had reached to fetch me before leaving. I haven't seen you for 2 months, where are you?! Anyway, let's work hard together okay! (:
Renyi: hello weird friend xD Thanks for all the crazy moments, all the funny games, teaching me chemistry, keeping me company too! After-school studying will always be so interesting with the both of you! It's been great and it will still be! And you're still suppose to teach me guitar (: Jia You kay!
Yan Jie: Yannie! what a nice name I got for you! Are you happy? Anyway, Thanks for everything, really every single thing. Though I've troubled you alot this year, but you never left me alone in the corner, instead you came over to give me a hand! It was so embarrassing to actually cry infront of you that day, I must have scared you. Sorry for times I wasn't in the right mind, and that you have to tolerate my bad temper! Times you have to be my messenger, times you have to hear me scream, times you have to tolerate with my crap, it's been hard on you, and hereby I apologise! I'm sorry if I weren't good at comforting, but I truly hope you cheer up more! And please, take care of yourself (: You have been a great father, with all the 'you take care hor, message me if got anything happen'. It's like a blessing! i give you 10 stars!
Matthew & Ming Sze: Thanks for keeping me accompany in the morning (B1), and thanks for sending me to the bus stop after the Math Mid year paper (AMS), sorry for the embarrassing moment, till you have to buy tissue for me. Thanks to the both of you for teaching me online, giving me help in Chemistry. Also, thanks for the lame yet entertaining moments in school!
Jin Yuan: Hello twin, it's been ages since I talk/seen you (2months)! I hope you're doing fine now. Anyway, you are a great twin! Thanks for accompanying me study in the night when I'm alone, teaching me Math, cheering me on, everything! It's been great knowing you (:
Everyone I know in NYJC, thanks for all the fun and sweet memories!
