Graduation's over. Practical Paper's over too. My feelings? Zilch. Don't know. Expressionless. Haha. Nice getting smses from batchmates.. even from those who don't take combined sciences. It really lifted up my spirits. And an unexpected one from Farna Asnin Haha, Just minutes before I entered the holding room. Okay, so phy practical was nice to me. To us. My first instinct as I entered the lab was...OH SHIT. Circuits. But then....not so bad, cos we didnt have to set up anything.  As much as I want the Os to end, I really can't bear to let go of secondary school life. Albeit there are people who just get on my nerves(even the sight of them makes me sick), the school's a nice place to be, really. Sec One. 

I was truly reluctant to enter PRSS. I thought, oh no. So ulu in Bedok. Confirm hell one. But things escalated, towards better! Kexin was the first person to say 'Hi' to me. That was the first sign of affirmation for me, entering into PRSS. I made friends who were genuinely nice.. through NCC as well as Student Council. Being in SC was such a blessing, once upon a time. I enjoyed the company, and for once, doing 'saikang' work didn't seem so bad. Okay, I don't mean it as bad. I loved Council. Always have. Sec Two.

Things got even better. Justin threw me the opportunity to learn of a hidden talent I never knew I had. He introduced me to public speaking with my first stint during (haha)PRSSIdol. It was one helluva experience. It was scary. But things got better after I became a pledge-taker. And then good things just kept coming my way. However, I concentrated too much on extra activities and stupid things called crushes and infatuations. Hahah, my academics suffered a little, but I ultimately paid the price, i got streamed to a class (I thought was hell), so different from 2E609. I love the class. The bond. The minimal amount of cliques. I love it. Always will. Sec Three. 



More good things were to come my way. I was kept busy the entire year. The best year of my schooling life, no kidding. The first good thing that came by was the chance to go China! Initially, I just signed my name, without seriously considering the chances I stood. Then came the day I embarked on a trip with great people to a place I'd never imagined to go to! With Luqman(who's not a great partner to sit on an overnight flight with, haha), Min Min and Kexin, who'd complain?
I learnt a lot of things during that trip. I'm very grateful for that chance that was given to me. It gave me a wider perspective of how the world really is. Cliche, but true. Then came more emceeing stints. Chinese New Year, Viva LaMusica, PTM talks, a segment for school's Official Opening. I was also given the task as OIC for SC's camp. It was difficult. I wasn't good enough. But it was another experience I had to go through. Benson was the do-er, I was the planner. 2008 was also a year I turned down things and made tough choices. From the little things such as going OBS and OBSabah, to major ones like Presidential Election for SC and Exco, just so I could go SSC. It was hell. Only the teachers, close friends and I who really knew what was happening and I just felt like giving up everything. And so it pained me when one day, I was taking the stairs, and a group of students went like, "Why isnt she running for elections, HEH?" It seemed to the rest of the world that I was at fault for making my own choice. SYFOC was also a big highlight of 2008. I made so many friends from so many schools. We do keep in touch, occassionally, and SYFOC was truly a blessing. To be part of it. 2008 was the year I felt truly affirmed to NCC. Sec 4. One schooling year just zoom past in a flash. I can barely register anything. This year's filled with books and more books. But this year, as crazy as it sounds, is also the year that cultivates the passion for me to learn more. With the four years gone, I realise how much I will miss the school, its people and the different memories that are now safely etched in my mind. I shall now look forward and please wish me the very best of luck. I WILL DO MY BEST. I WILL GIVE MY BEST. IT WILL BE THE BEST. The Best is Yet To Be.
