Graduation day

2 years, how fast. I remembered lying there in my bed trying to figure out how JC life would be like on the day before orientation 1 last year. I came to nanyang because well i didnt want to work so hard. I never did and i dont want to go to a place where everyone around me is mugging their lives away. Nothing against the school, its just that the enviornment would allow me to have the JC life that i wanted myself to have. That i have been satisfactorily given.

Tomorrow is the day that i graduate. graduate on what credit? That will have to wait till next year. The last words of a chapter will be written tomorrow. Bittersweet words. I wouldnt mind if the JC system is a 3 year course ( being the norm, instead of having to retain ). It would allow us to truely taste the different flavours that JC has to offer. 2 years is way too short, but at least it was filled to the brim with experiences, never a bore. I went to JC happy, stayed happy in JC and should come out happy, although my A level results should have some bearing on that. I never was ever truely down in these 2 years. Even when studies was going against the flow, i have people who will laugh with me at our results, shrug it off and look to the future. i've met some ( not all ) of the most talented and dedicated teachers over here. Never gave up, on me, on anyone. The amount of work they put in for their students amazes me. I doubt i will ever be as dedicated at any point in my life.

Then there are all the crazy memories and antics that i will take away from school.
- 1st 3 months, all the crazy stuff we did. opening toilet doors with teacher inside, ponning 1 month worth of maths tutorials, not doing anything worthwhile and just enjoying the days as they came and went.
- Orientation 1/ 2 2007. Fun as a group, pity we didnt stay together for long. The memories will last...
- The class and its exponentially increasing rate of wackiness. Playing soccer in the midst of promos. All the runs, badmintons, basketball, soccer, ... rugby. Cage, macdonald's $2 breakfast, shopping trips, outings, too many to list, to recollect. All the sick stuff, guai-lan, name calling, sarcasm, animals, half breeds, dung the class thought up, and all the crap, husbands, wifes, yys and robots.
- LTC all the pushups, the kayaking, the squeezing in tents, the reflections and most importantly the people. Ector, we were the most 'high' bunch of people in the camp.
- Promos, the relief and the celebrations when 100% promoted was flashed across the screen and the individual subject standings thereafter.
- Orientation 1 2008. The laughs, the cheerings, sentosa, the wonderful og, ogl and olympians. The hoarse voices, the tired but happy faces, the aching legs.
- House exco camp, lessons learnt, got our act together, made friends, made an impression
- A division soccer, the passing football that nanyang played. The dark horse, the agony of losing, the thrill of winning. Scoring that last gasp equaliser, being somewhat a hero for once. The self justification.

There are many many more, do a list after the A levels. So the people i've met in nanyang, perhaps we dont know each other, but well we recognise and acknowledge the existance of each others. Cheers to you
