[[ ___ + LOVE MAKES THE WORLD TURN ROUND& ROUND + __

Sunday 29 September 2013

Randomly scrolling through Twitter and Facebook, and suddenly felt very thankful for friends that may not be physically beside me now, but nonetheless still very close to me mentally and spiritually. Thank you Weihui and Yilin, for allowing me to believe in long-distance relationships hahaha xD Thank you so much for always making me feel so loved, and always making the effort to stay in touch with me even if it's through talking rubbish ;) 我们的友情是有经过A level这个考验的！Will keep my fingers crossed that our friendship 会天长地久 :):)

And really thankful for this special friend. So many times I've attempted to brighten her days and try to make her feel better and happier, but somehow I'll just end up being depressed and feeling useless, and in the end she had to comfort and encourage me instead hahaha ;D Thank you Kaixuan for always being so understanding, and giving me the strength of heart to move on. I'm truly blessed and thankful to have a friend like you :)

And Xiuyi! The 开心果's 开心果 hahaha ^^ Don't think she'll be reading this soon, but in the months to come I'll be depending on you a lot for companionship, motivation, entertainment and so much more!! 请你多多关照和照顾我 :3!

And my babes Shumin whom I decided is my favourite person to hug and to run to when I need to calm down (Updated: My other source of entertainment after laughing at her botanic garden photos HAHAHAHA so cuteee!! ^^); Limin whom I know will always be there to listen and to cheer me on ;) Your ears and shoulders are the best gifts to me already! ; Liyang my niao-ing partner who has recently picked up this habit of laughing non-stop during our bus rides together (O.O), the only person whom I can niao out of my 6 babes! YAYYYY ; And my lovely Chia who never fails to show me her support by laughing at my jokes that even I myself don't find funny. I appreciate your laughter so muchhh!!! ^^

1 month left to A levels. With them, I'll be able to pull through, and break through! Yes!!!

Sunday 1 September 2013

I realised I never truly appreciated our teachers until these few days
All these time I refused to let go of the mindset that
our teachers in Nanyang will be the best I'll ever meet
such that I've unknowingly set up this barrier in my heart
I wasn't able to see our teachers in Hwachong
beyond these propro people imparting us loads of knowledge
to help us ace our A levels

But these are the people who are always making sure
that we are well taken care of during this stressful period of time
Teachers who have to take care of our well-being
but at the same time remind and motivate us to work hard
They are the ones who have faith in us that we'll do well
People who put in so much effort to push us to be the best we can be
People who flip through examiners' reports tirelessly
so that they can convey to us accurately the knowledge we need

It didn't dawn on me that there will be one day
when I'll start to miss them and their lessons so much D:

I remember myself telling Kaixuan a few months ago
that when I look back at my JC days thinking of 12S72
I'll probably remember nothing of this class
But on the last day that we had official lessons as a class
I realised how much I'll miss this bunch of people
who may not be vocal and participate actively during lessons
but they all are loveable in their own special ways
I'll miss those times when we just go high and ask silly questions
and laugh at inside jokes so hard that
questions marks start appearing on our teachers' faces xD

I'll miss those times when we try to troll the teachers when they niao us
(like Sunny's classic “我考过，但我没考过！”)
and when we annoy our teachers with silly excuses and whining
when we fail to complete our work
like Perry when he didn't do his class discussion worksheet
"I'll do it after paper 2 next week!" (Y)
And even those times when I got niao-ed by 72-ers
calling me Tomorrow Lai and Vitasoy girl
and coining up weird terms like Jermialaisation and 人民代表耿慧
which really annoyed me sometimes
but will be memories that will make me smile when
I look back at these times that we had together :)

As I was walking from the gate back to school on Thursday
after walking Xiuyi out of school
There was a sudden strong sense of nostalgia
Although these 2 years really haven't been easy
and our emotional capacities as well as our level of maturity
got pushed to the limits again and again
this is the place which holds the high-est and craziest moments of my life
where I experienced the hard work and price we had to pay
when chasing after our dreams and passion
and found so many genuine and like-minded peers
who grew along with me and provided me with so much support and love
It holds so many of my firsts
and many of my lasts

I never thought I'll say this
but I think I'll miss HwaChong a lot :(
