a half happy/sad
Happy? coz highschool studying is finally done.
Sad? pfft. its so obvious isn't it?
Last week: Omi left without saying goodbye. it'll be ages till i see her again.
Day before yesterday: Melbu and Isha left. it'll be ages till i see them again.
Yesterday: Wanyu & Wanshing: it'll be ages till i see them again.
This Saturday: Bev and Reen. it'll be ages till i see them again.
There's more really. and truth is, its not really like i won't be seeing them again, since i've already promised a visit to Spore & KL, and they are welcoming me with wide open arms. but after that........ we probably won't be seeing each other again.
it's funny how you meet people in your life. and i guess its fate whether or not we actually meet someone. that's why we treasure each other so much. why i say its fate-its coz we could have gone somewhere else, some other school, some other country. I didn't have to come to Australia because I had the option of remaining in Penang and going to Uplands. I didn't have to come to MLC because I could have gone to St. Hildas. I didn't have to go to Year 10 because by right, i should have gone to Year 11. I'm sure that everyone of us also feels the same. We all could have been somewhere else, and yet we came here, to MLC, the Year 12 Graduates of 2008.
looking back, i realised that ever since i came here, i've learnt alot of things. i've learnt to appreciate everything that came. holding things important to you dearly, and always looking at the bright side of things. i became more positive. i've learnt to love who you are inside, and love your roots. yes, that was one of the greatest lessons i've learnt here. being in a different place with a different culture and where everyone's hair and skin colour are so different that you find your differences special. i actually felt, "i thank god i'm asian and that i'm chinese" compared to the me back then who always thought of the angmohs as one level higher than us.
coming here, i've learnt that not everyone thinks like you do, and not everyone is like you. everyone has different personalities and characters that you have to have their feelings in mind. things that you think are okay may not be for someone else, and things that they think are okay may not be so for you. everyone is different, each with their own minds and perspectives, special with every individual. and thats why we respect each other's views.
i've learnt to accept differences, to be more considerate and understanding.
i've learnt to adapt.
all of the people i've met here, and those that i will meet again, all of them--> a wonderful cohort full of vigor, life and smiles. yes. smiles. always cheerful and bright, always brightening up my day. being with you guys always made me smile and lift up my spirits whenever i'm feeling down. and i'm sure it's not only me who feels like this, but each and everyone of you guys as well.
i truly respect the boarders for being able to live with each other for 3 years. no doubt it was not easy living with so many people together all the time for 3 years straight. with so many people with so different personalities, i doubt it was an easy task. they had to be accepting, tolerant and considerate, being faced with 'true colours' 24/7. alot of things daygirls don't know bout certain people, they know all. as a result, they have all grew in maturity into an amazing bunch of people.
the rest of us daygirls (whom i think we all at one time wished we were boarders) treasured our freedom we had and had our own traditions. Pon-ing PE, the whole day, going to ct after P.E. on Wednesdays week Bs, bbt/neoprints/tfusion/sing k on last days of school (since year10), lunching in the library, cursing librarians, rereading the very few jap magazines availabe and saying "shit she's so pretty/thin/nice hair/eyes etc" and lots more. damn. we're so gonna miss all these.
times we had together, like during lunch, going out, sing k, socials (though i didn't go to many), and afters.... all of them never fail to be fun. i bet we all have fond memories of those times we were together, especially this year. despite me being here for 3 years, i've really gotten closer to more people this year, and i'm really glad for that.
finally just wanted to say that i am really glad to have met and known you guys, and came to mlc. all these times we had together, we'll remember forever.(wow that rhymes) here, i've met lots of fascinating, beautiful and wonderful people, those that i can't trade for with anyone else. you guys are special and important to me.
and i thank you guys for being my friends.
Thank you. my friends.
now as one chapter comes to an end, a new one is about to start.
we'll all be chasing dreams and enjoying life. won't we? :)
Keep in touch always. chat/calls/facebook/visits. use whatever means we have. because we'll promise each other a friendship forever.
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
