As of yesterday, I am an official CHS graduate. Reality hasn't sunk in yet.. That explains the lack of tears.
It seems like just yesterday that I was a tiny form 1 student, walking into school (late, by the way, because I didn't know I was supposed to be there at 12.30 p.m.). I remember walking into the hall, and looking at the prefects in their blazers looking erm.. cool.. and thinking to myself, "I want to be a prefect." I remember feeling very happy when I was called for the test (to become a probationer) and when I found out that 6 of my form 1 teachers thought I should be a prefect.
I remember feeling proud of myself for reaching form 2. I remember the times in 2A4, where I got closer to Shereen. I remember getting 3rd in Merentas Desa, losing to Tian Huey and Ze Hui. I remember the prefect meetings we had. The laughter. The seriousness. The tears. The scoldings. The discussions. The complaints. The camps. The marching. The fun. I remember getting to know some wonderful people.. Yee Hooi, Michelle, Ruth, Carmen, Cheng Chun, Jia Ming, Terence, Chen Han, Leping, Tee Jin, and Michael.
Form 3.. I remember wondering what life was like in the morning sessions. I remember being clueless about having to wear a collar badge. I remember feeling scared because I had to "jaga" form 5 students when I was only a form 3 prefect. I remember my first senior, Jia Mien. I remember the things they made us do to get their signatures. I remember getting the screaming bug from Yee Hooi when I sat beside her in 3A5. I remember going to the toilet with her at least twice a day, everyday. I remember panicking because I wasn't panicking about PMR. I remember the last minute studying and memorizing. I remember the relief when it was over.
And then.. I remember feeling scared that I wouldn't get into a pure science class. I remember how relieved I felt when I saw my name in the 4S6 class list. I remember feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of papers we have to take for examinations. I remember sitting beside Ruth and having her wake me up when teacher was looking. I remember getting 1st in Merentas Desa, ahead of Tian Huey and Melanie. I remember losing spectacularly to Tian Huey in Sports Day. I remember feeling great after winning the Individual event of the Kejohanan Merentas Desa MSSD, and winning the Team event of the same competition, because Tian Huey got 3rd, Flora got 4th, Shereen got 9th, and Melanie, who had an ankle injury, still managed to finish 33rd, if I'm not mistaken. I remember being pissed off during AGM, along with some others. I remember getting the post of Ketua Barang Larangan. I remember being furious, at first, but as time went by, I remember having loads of fun because the authority that came with the post.
Now...
Where did all the time go? Being the top-of-the-CHS-food-chain is, if I may say so, no mean feat. Having to get through five grueling years to get here.... was it worth it?
The answer...... Most definately, yes.
Given the chance, I wouldn't want to change anything that happened in my high school life. Sure, it's been far from perfect, what with the ..... things that happened. But you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way.
Because now I know how much my friends care for me, and I know that they'll always be there to back me up. I know that they're always there for me, and I can always go to them. I know how much they mean to me, and how much I care for them. I know that I'll always be there for them, like they're always there for me. I know that I'll forever cherish these times. I know that even if we are apart, we'll still be friends................. forever.
To all my friends, you guys have touched my life in so many different ways, and I want to sincerely thank all of you for the memories. Though we may lose touch, though we may never see each other again, though we were never really that close, though we may not speak to each other anymore..........
