=10/04 Pasta Outings=
I didn't manage to get high quality photos as yet from my friends. All these are posted ones. I think only after A levels ba. I'll try to get more if possible.
Anyway, I really appreciate Ms Fong as a kind, concern teacher to everyone in the class. Even though right from the start I never really do well for chemistry, she didn't give up on me which only make me feel more guilty... She told us that the class aren't united enough and hope we can always help each other along. I think more or less, we're moved by her actions and words. Even Sean attended the treat after all. Haha.
The following are the photos we've taken during the trip there. I've had a long time since I felt that nostalgia surging in me.. This isn't much like what I always thought as I wouldn't feel much about leaving the class but hmm... maybe it isn't true, I do care for the time I'm with the class. Haha.
=Farewell Concert & Events in School=
The year 1s' student council and the teachers have collaborated a concert for the year 2s as the farewell concert. I'm quite surprised by the effort that was put in. Initially, I thought it wouldn't be anything more lame than some singing and corny words. But the performance items are more to that. Ha.. The big birds and the maths department words are something that still strikes in my mind. I suppose such an annual event is kind of meaningful. Other than the thanking part which is too awfully long, other parts are really great.
Mr Tong, who's always so strict in discipline, surprised the year 2 cohort with his untidy attire in the play. I suppose that's the only time we can catch him in that. I can still remember he catch me not wearing polo t-shirt or school uniform for a really unreasonable cause.
Mr Bala as cool as ever, does his rapping with Sam and gang. I suppose if he hadn't come to TJ, he would have been in the music entertainment industry making big money. Lol.
Well, before the concert, the class spends the moment together taking photos. Same with other classes too. 10/04 took at the Temasek Square's flag raising podium. This other photo on the left is in front of the General Office, with pond and leaves, bla bla.. supposedly to be one of the best places to take photos I guess. Ha, it's the 3 of us again. I can't remember how many photos we take together already. Yup, buddies forever~!
=Friends=
Not forgeting other friends like thomas, bingz who encourage me all along. Of course there are others too... Long list... Thanks! Plus people who wrote testimonials for me in friendsters, thank you all.
I also wrote farewell cards for my robotics juniors and Mr Goh. I hope that should do for a simple farewell. Just thought it's been rather abrupt for me to give them the burden of running the club and shoo... there I go. If only there's been more time I can go competitions with them. Ha. Jian yuan read the card I wrote for Mr Goh and told me my tone was a bit weird. Ha, I wrote all those very late at night but my intentions are to thank everyone who work with me. Hope he doesn't feel the same way too.
=NS=
I'm going in to Training Camp 1 on 6 Jan. Anyone going on that date too? Most of those I know are going to Camp 2 which I think is commando camp on that day. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think those who hasn't received the notifications this month will probably be going in April? There are some in my class who hasn't got letter though.
I can't say if I'm eager to go in. Ha.. I suppose just go in with a normal positive attitude. That should be ok to last me through. Perhaps I should start thinking whether I want to sign on for officer or not... It's a lifetime (10 yrs?) commitment I feel. I can't foresee what course I'll be taking in universities not say the jobs I'll be apply in the future so it's hard for me to decide.
Esmond's news of becoming a "C..." is quite well known in college already but seriously I can't see the reason why he minds that people know about it and he's so insistent about friends not to spread such news. It isn't a scandal anyway so be open about it. It's quite prestigious I thought.
=GP Mock=
I came EXTREMEly late for the mock exam on that day. Mdm Lim was shocked that I came, even LATER than geraldine who's also late. Hmm, I told her the honest reason why I was late and rushed into my paper 1. It's such a disaster having to double the pace for every process I have to do for essay. Choosing a suitable question isn't easy not to say plan thoroughly for the essay. In the end, I only wrote about 2 paragraphs excluding the introduction. I knew very well it's a fail script just how bad I'll fail.. So I expected 16,17 marks. Mao Xin told me I can probably get higher than that if my content is reasonable and not many language errors.
Afterwhich when the paper came back, I got 22 instead. She said it's not a bad mark for someone who came that late. I don't know to feel comforted or what. Jian Yuan can even get 30. There are many others who get high up in the 25+ and 30+. Hmm... I should work harder...
