ok i am really sad now. 'cos i've officially graduated.
tkgs has brought me so many opportunities and given me so much. even if i come back to teach emaths, i'd never be able to give back enough to pay for what i've received.
being part of the av board. i've been in it since sec 1, and been in the exco since sec 1. though that time it was called the "AV board". when people made announcements looking for members of av board, me and kimmy would think that it was meant for the whole board. ><
and then, in sec 2 i became sec 2 level head. and sec 3.. well, you guys know. but what i think most of you don't know, is that i didn't really want the place. i just felt it wasn't me and i was thinking i'd have a horrible time trying to work my way through the year. in other words, i was trying to run away from my job. but no, i didn't get far enough. so, i served (:
in sec 4, i received my reward for not giving up. i got my osa. something that i really hoped i'd get if i ever worked my way up, 'cos odelia and swee huang both got it, and i saw them as nice responsible presidents. odelia was the one who taught me to be an av rep anyway. haha.
being part of 1e3 2004, 2e3 2005.
it was headblasting fun. i became a class comm member, made many friends, realized the importance of friendship. i've got not much to say about these two years, even though i loved the time here with this class. the next paragraph will say why.
being part of 3e5 2006, 4e5 2007.
these two years were the best years of tk life. i made even more friends. i learnt a lot. i received a lot. and i gave back a little. i hope.
we are the most bonded unbonded class ever. when you least expect it, everyone will do something for the class. just look at our zanys. i'd never have expected our class to make it through with such nicely painted props, with the songs. i thought we'd be one of those classes which just nuah-ed on xcountry. but we didn't! (at least when it came to the parade.) and we all sleep together in class. have to thank mr ang for not being angry with us when we sleep in newspaper reading. there was once he actually said "wakey wakey!"
five people from this class went on the xi'an trip. sticker, me, nat, xinyu, joanne. it was lovely. my first trip away from home, in a wonderful hostel with LOTS of food, late night talks, illegal gatherings in rooms, teaching nat ballet, bunk beds, terracotta which had cracks, all the outings.. i'll never forget the trip. till today, the photos are still in my comp. (btw, nat, i forgot to pass you photos to paste in your book.)
being a part of the guas.
we've been through ups and downs, haven't we? we've had conflicts, but we resolved them, at least a bit of them. we've had retardedly funny moments together in vivo. we spent our last few days in tkgs mugging at the tables. and we had a bbq. (:
and now, for the people i want to thank..
ms ho - thank you for being our fm for two years. thanks for nagging us, scolding us, piling us up with worksheets AND then telling us that if we did them all, we'd get at least a b3. thanks for always being there for us and never being absent (i think you never absented yourself in two years) and, well, just being there. (:
mdm tan -thank you for being the funniest and most excited chinese teacher i ever had. need i say more? don't stop telling stories!
mr ang - thanks for letting me tease you all the time! and never being angry with us despite our sleeping habits. for being such a great english teacher, and telling us the one sad story that made us cherish our class, and our friends.
mrs ngin - thank you for always being there for me. when i was in the oh-so-dark-and-gloomy tunnel. i managed to kinda, fight my way out of there. and thanks for always being patient with us during bio classes, and never failing to make us recap. and the motivational stories, apple, and all the rest.. including the one about the family that made me cry.
ms johara - thanks for piling us with physics worksheets even though we never do them. at least it's there for us, when we suddenly have a desire to do well for physics. i'm sorry half the class probably doesn't want to count physics in their l1r5. but rest assured, physics will not remain in their hearts, but you will, for being so capable at spinning your pen and being so nice to all of us. i think you've never scolded us for scoring badly. all you'd say was "you did very badly!"
mdm hassan - hmm. i've got lots to say. i've known you (theoratically) since sec 1, because of the av meeting. and being late for the dance TIP 'cos you didn't give me permission to leave >< i don't hold it against you, 'cos if not for that, i wouldn't be what i am now. i wouldn't have what experiences i have with me now. thanks for being such a funny teacher and going through everything for us. and thanks for offering a ear (even though i never responded to it) when i was sick for three weeks 'cos of the rubbish i was going through. (:
now, for the friends..
alvina - you have been hella a pal. that means, a GREAT pal. thanks for listening to me rant and giving me support through the shit. (:
brenda - thanks for being the vicepresident that taught me so much.
andrea - got to know you better only these couple of months. you're a real smartbum and i think you'll do better in tj than vj. but anyway, thanks for studying with me. keep waking me up. (:
joanne - husband, don't EVER divorce me ok. our kids will be homeless. and don't become a male bitch, wherever you go! (: thanks for all the times you put up with my countless nonsensical rubbish things and all the noise i make.
amanda - eldest kid, don't be so grumpy all the time la! always throw tantrum. control your temper and don't be so rash. you'll be a better daughter (: thanks for being the desk partner that messed up my table. haha.
sticker - how many years in same school alr? do try to get into the same jc ok, that'll be damn cool! we should set some kind of guiness world record for this. same jc, same university. maybe same course too. (: food science? thanks for stalking me! haha.
deborah - youngest kid, study harder! you can do it! (and you can call me for help, like the eldest kid.) thanks for being the sleepyhead that never fails to make me sleep when i really need it. i just need to look at you, and then i'll automatically get tired. that's good when i had really little sleep the night before.
cassie - fellow youth cat. got to know you better in sec 3, and even better in sec 4. glad to have someone who could tell me funny stories about monday bunny time after i wasn't allowed to go. and someone to write letters to about certain people XD haha. anyway thanks for always complaining to me, makes me realize what i've already got (: jiayou!
nat - thanks for the morning conversations. i'll miss them a lot. can we apply to the same jc? (: and we must must must keep in touch ok! ((: xi'an!
chrystal - it made me feel so much better to know that someone had gone through it before and i wasn't alone! thanks for being there. hope it never ever comes back! jiayou and keep in touch!
i think that's about it. more might come later.
It's been a long and winding journey But i'm finally here tonightPicking up the piecesWalking back into the lightInto the sunset of your gloryWhere my heart and future liesThere's nothing like that feeling When i look into your eyes...wow, i chose the best time to ever get myself into a mess, again.
