my gosh, jc life has passed so fast and today i have officially graduated from cjc. i feel sad when i took out my collar pin and tie cos i know i cant wear them anymore. no need to pin my collar pin onto my uniform anymore. no need to wear tie on mondays anymore. no need to get caught for skirt and socks anymore. no uniforms for the rest of my life.
so my day started at 5.30am and i met donna at the bus stop and cheryl on the bus! we were suppose to meet mr lim at 7am but in the end he couldnt make it, so sarah and i went to the canteen cos i wanted to buy chips. yar no more nice tapioca chips too becos i havent found that brand of chips anywhere else than in cj. then after going grandstand and talking for abit, we went to class and mr low brought a cute animal soft toy for the top of our totem pole. haha i really dont know what animal that was. anyway, we did our totem pole and eating pizza that mr low bought for us. he gave all of us a pretty 4-leaf clover keyring too.
then we proceeded to the hall. oh and mr low did the whole powerpoint slides so he didnt sleep at all last night. brother's speech was super super funny and inspiring. the theme for the graduation was about stars. its taken from the book of matthew i think, about how we are the salt and light of the world. the graduation video was very touching. it brought back so many many memories. i remembered my life in sec school and how my life changed when i came to cj, how much i have learnt, not just knowledge but lifeskills too. my attitude now is totally different. i know my life would have been different if i didnt come to cjc. and at the end of it, mr low pinned the graduating collar pins for us and gave us our certs and this dvd. i wished mr low could write the testimonial again cos he forgot to add in something quite important and its not reflected accurately in the cca achievements too. i'm quite sad about that because it is the sporting achievement that i am most happy about.
ok anyways, then we went back to class after everything, and meixi was really really nice to sweep the floor. and we cleared up the classroom too and finally took class photos. and cher and i went down to pass mr low the tie we made for him cos we forgot to pass him! after that we went to the cathay for lunch. by then time passed so fast that it was about 3 already. but when we reached aston's, there was a long queue outside half of which is by edmund's class, so we went down to billy bombers whose huge sign said 1 for 1 lunch treat, but which is actually very very misleading. gosh i shant waste time talking about them. by the time we finished eating and talking and playing bridge, it was too late to watch movie alr, but cher kianhow damian xinying chiaps and i went to daiso. i finally bought a container to store my bubble tea fund. oh and i found out today jo drinks bubble tea everyday too!
i must dedicate one paragraph to this game called bridge. we have been playing this almost every day for the last 2 years of my life ever since pae. every single free period and break and after school and even between periods, is spent on playing bridge and sometimes we would go to class late. last year, damian's 2 decks got confiscated like within 5 minutes and this year, justin's cards got confiscated by ms peh. but a few days ago when we were playing and ms peh caught us, she said she wouldnt bother to catch us alr at this time of the year. ms yao said smth like that too before. haha anyways, sorry to justin and damian. and many memories were of bridge. like how chiaps lost 10 games in the row when we played during break, and after sch when we played with shufeng and joshua, she finally won. and kian how is a really fast shuffler and dealer and a very super good bridge player. he taught chiaps how to play smart and i learnt a lot from observing him play last year during pae too. so to the t10 bridge club members of chiaps cher xy kian adela meixi justin damian: thanks for all the fun!!
i just opened the letter we wrote to ourselves last year during sd period for the closing ceremony last year and reading the letter brought back many things that have been in my subconscious mind. how i didnt want to come cj at all; how i had to appeal to come in during pae and the crappy things i said on my appeal form but still got me through; how much i struggled in my studies because in pri and secondary sch i never studied; the many emotions that i experienced last year and many many more. i remembered last year everyday after school was either odac or class outing and i never ever reach home before at least 7.
i was reading mr lim's odac letter today too and he mentioned phase-0 of dec xp is a bukit tabur dragon backbone traverse, climbing up gunung belumut and taka tinggi waterfalls trek, all in 2 days 1 night. gosh i really really want to go, but then i dont want to waste the grad night money. how?You are the fuel that drives my engine.
