Graduation Day - 16 June 2006, 10am
Decided to meet up with Kelly. We decided to meet on the bus. Haha, we always do this during the good old days =p. But, everytime i couldn't see her on the bus although she is on board the same bus as me! LOL. I'm just too blur!!! This time, the same thing happened. We were on board the same bus, but i could not see her. She was sitting right behind -.-". So, i just decided to meet her at the school bus stop instead. While alighting, i just so happened to saw her! Aha, very funny joke hor? =p. Then we proceeded to go to the place we were supposed to gather, LT68. Prize winners are supposed to go to LT68E, which is all the way to the back... Looked at the attendence sheet we are supposed to sign and took the card. I realised Lay Kuan have already reached school way before us. So, intended to look for Lay Kuan, but Kelly wanted to go to the Ladies, and it happened that my class girls all there! Such a coincidence! Then in LT68, met up with Trina and then we talked about the attire for Graduation D & D, which is jazzy! OMG, we really had NO IDEA on what to wear! Just roughly discussed on the attire and then we had to go back to our seats le. Then most of them were discussing about the Universities they are going. Heard some of them going to NTU, BUT COM SCI!!! Argh...how they get into com sci?!!! Only have one going to NTU com engrg, but i dunno her!!! Then there was this girl, really friendly. Haha, i think she mistook me for someone lah. She asked me whether i was in the same CP class as her before. I thought that was weird cos i don't like programming and i wouldn't take any programming modules! Aha. So i just answered no. Then she cont'd to ask me whether i'm going to any Uni. I said ya, NTU! com engrg. What a pity, she got into NTU, com sci! I found her rather familar, cos i thought i saw her back then in my primary school, NHPS! So i asked her whether she was from NHPS or not. She said she was from South View. OMG, another mistaken identity! She seemed really familiar... Anyway, i finally got my question answered... This has been bugging me for about 2 years i think? Aha... She seem to resemble one of my friend, you see...
Finally, time's up. We had to queue and wait to go into the convention hall. Prize winners were seated to the extreme right. 4 videos were played. 1-on the school's different courses, 2-on top graduates (one of them from my school!), 3-a video produced by our school students on life in ICT, 4-another produced by our school students (i think) on the graduating classes!. I enjoyed the third one the most... Finally, i'm graduating from NP. Glad that i finally earned a diploma for myself, but sad at the same time cos i'm leaving an instituition which i gained the most friends and knowledge. At least, in NP, i'm allowed to learn at my own pace and time. There's so much freedom indeed! I love the wireless access given privilege to us, NP students. Sincerly, i will miss NP alot! Most importantly, it is the friends and lecturerers that i have. I find them ever so helpful when i need help. Here, i wish to dedicate a poem which i pen to a very special friend i'd known in NP. Indeed my initial impression of her was truly very wrong. Haha, come to think of it, we would still joke about this, time and again. LOL! Here goes:
3 years came and went.
When i just stepped into NP, a fresh year 1 student, i so wanted to be promoted to year 2 quickly...
I thought you were irritating and proud
There came this day when i was 'forced' to work with you
I told myself, "oh no, there goes...this shall be my first and last time working with you...haha"
I decided to put you into a test to test your character
Indeed, I was truly wrong on the initial impression i have of you
I knew you're just the one meant for me
It was a little too late, but i told myself, "there's still 2 years to be with you"
Time was tight, but I cherished every moment we had together although it would be just one second
Year 2 came, and at that moment, i just hope time would freeze and stay still.
We click, have similar thoughts and crap together
I know i'm a little irritating at times
But, you always treated me like a 'little sister'
Always cajoling me and giving me what i always wanted
Whenever i'm in trouble, i knew you'd come in to defend me
I know you'll be always there for me
I'm proud i had a 'big sister' to rely on
Year 3 came a little too quickly, i couldn't bear to say goodbye to you.
All the laughter we had, soon became history
I miss the secrets we used to share
The times we used to share together
If only you were my sworn sister...
How i wish...
You're a rare gem inded
I hope i wouldn't be forgotten down memory lane...
Because, you, will always have a special place in my heart...
Then, after the graduation ceremony, i met up with my friends and parents. It was photo taking time! Had many many shots with my class! Mum made a remark and told me my class guys look like ah beng?! except for one of them...haha, guess who? Cannot say here otherwise people are gonna gossip again lah...-.-". It so happened to be......a guy lah...aha...quite tall, quite handsome, quite smart looking, aha, this is so obvious! Guess and tell me the answer...but no prize! LOL =p. Quite shocked my mum will say that...this goes to show we have same thinking! Bleahs. Then was 'grabbing' a hot place to take photos. Jiahui helped out abit...aha... Then, later my mum told me that this girl (Jiahui) not bad eh... Next time sure successful in life, can talk...good! Haha, indeed! When i told Jiahui this, she says she is only good in talking rubbish?! Hey, how can this be... In 3 years that i've known you, I know that you've always been a good speaker! Yeah, another great friend i've known =).
Soon, after the photo taking session, it was time to part. I know this time it'd be a long long time before we next meet... I hope there'd be another class gathering... NP T10 2003 - 2006, keep in touch!
Superband craze!!!
Just a few days back, me, Jiayi and Lixin were talking about superband and the different groups, specifically, Mi Lu Bin and Brods! Mi Lu Bin turns out to be Jiayi's church friend. The drummer that is. And he went to the show there to cheer for them also? Haha... He should have joined them in the band. But he tells us he doesn't have the vocals -.-". I don't quite believe... Brods also quite cool eh... Both of them are as handsome. Vocals wise, not bad... J3 also not bad, turns out to be friends with JY (Junyang)! Last time 5 of them were together and sang together as a band. J3 vocals are nice...indeed...
What's Next
University Life's next at NTU. I heard from people saying that life in local U is stressful... I think local U life is the same as poly ba. Just that in poly, everywhere you go, you see people gaming. In university, you see everyone studying -.-". That's all what. Ok, maybe other factors as well. The study environment should be the same as poly ba... I worked hard in poly hoping to get into U, cos i don't want people to look down on me, especially my relatives. It didn't help when they like to compare so much. My hard work and effort really got me somewhere... I hope, it would not be wasted... Some people want to get out to the working world quickly to earn their first dollar. As for me, i wish to study as long as i can where time prevails. Life's short, i don't want to live my life in regret... Who knows what might happen tommorow? Ya, i know some of you might say because my parents can afford to pay for my university fees... So, that's why i'm cherishing this opportunity! If not, i have to work as well...no matter how good my results are... I know i should be thinking on what should i work as in the future, but i'm still not really clear where are my strengths. I'm not a genius and i admit, i may be 'slow', so that's why while people work smart, i work hard, which is a little stupid. Stupid people use stupid way of achieving their goals -.-". Boo~ No one is alike! If everyone had a brain like LKY, everyone should be called LKY! There won't be any cleaners or sweepers in Singapore. Singapore would not be this green garden city as it is today! Aha, crap... Quite true what, you agree?
