♥ Post-As
And hence, my JC life is truly over.
It's been a wild ride, full of ups and downs (mostly downs actly, with some quite extreme ups), twists and turns. I've felt priviledged at times, and deprived at times; felt super lucky to be in this school, and freaking suay the next moment. It's a mixture of a whole bunch of emotions that this school has brought me, even if those emotions are mostly conflicting.
The past 2 years have basically whacked me with all kinds of disappointments and hardship, and sent a a whole bunch of people my way for me to deal with. But what I appreciate is that among the tears I've shed, I've still managed to find laughter in certain corners of this oh-so-familiar school. And among the bunch of meanpokes and ridiculous people who try to make my life miserable or hurt/abandon me when I need them, I've found friends whom I know will be there for me for the rest of my life.
I wouldn't say my A level results are fabulous. In fact, to be honest, they're downright lousy. I've got some pretty serious resentment and angst hidden somewhere within myself. But I know better than to sulk in a corner and rot. Learning to take a step back has allowed me to see that life still goes on, even though this setback has caused me to lose myself momentarily. And after talking to certain people, I've realised that all the stress that I thought others were putting on me, were actually coming from myself. [Ah but that doesn't mean I've stopped disliking people for seeing me based on my achievements and results. I'll dislike this kind of people for life so better stay farfar away from me!]
In conclusion, I'm generally thankful for the experience that the past 2 years have brought me. I am consciously aware that I have matured/grown stronger from the experiences of the past 18+ years, especially after having the past few months of self-reflection. I hope that I'm facing life/the future with the right attitude, and maybe the future might just bring more joy than ever. =)
Lastly, I have certain people that I need to thank. I don't really know where to start heh.
Teachers: Thankyou so much for being so patient with me, even though I was such a difficult and lazy student. Thankyou for forgiving me and never giving up hope on me, encouraging me to continue to strive hard even when things seem so bleak at times. And thankyou for all the consultation sessions that you guys were willing to spend so that I can improve even that tiny little bit. Special mention goes to Mr Heng, who is always there with his wide smile and cheerful encouragements even on the saddest of days. =)
HCCO Tanbo + Tenboh: Life in JC wouldn't have been half as fun without you guys around! All the laughter we had, all the pain we shared, as well as all the hard + heart work we put in together to achieve those shining results; I'll keep them all inside my heart. You guys are one of the most amazing bunch of people I've met, seniors + peers + juniors alike. I've learnt a lot from you guys and thank you for being part of my HCCO life. =)
08S74 + Weisin: Thanks for being such nice seniors, and for introducing HC life to me haha. For all the tips, guidance, assurances and of course, encouragement and wishes of good luck! You guys are seriously the most friendly seniors I've ever met, and I'm glad for that fact. =) Thankyou for all the concern you guys have shown! =)
09S74: Haha thanks for being a bunch of fabulous classmates! You guys are the people who make me feel that I belong to 09S74, since we go through some of the most daunting times together. Thanks for the never ending encouragement and for being there for me when I'm being sad about bad grades. And also for being willing to spend time to teach me when I stupidly cannot grasp certain concepts. =) Special mention goes to CTG, TripSci gang, and T&T gang!
YJ + LW + NP: Hello you three. =) I know YJ said something about we shldnt be so exclusive but heck. Anw, I find it quite amazing that we actually became so close, despite all the differences b/w us. We've gone through some pretty interesting/ridiculous times together, and I'm really grateful for how thoughtful and caring you guys are towards me all this while. I hope I've been an equally good friend to you guys too. =P This friendship is very very special and precious to me, I'll definitely regret it if we let it fall apart. Keep in touch k!
Ok think I'm pretty much done. Time to think about what to do for e future. Wish me luck! =)
