Me - "I'm a fricking hobo lah...I HAVE LIKE NO MORE MONEY!"[Flops down on table]
Lecturer - "And now, we'll move on to Loansharks and Bankruptcy."
Me - "I should pay attention to this."
Travis, Charlie and Dexter - [Burst out laughing]

Two parts to this post, 1st part's "normal", 2nd part's emo. But it's good emo, I suppose.

First, the good news: I've gotten into Camp Instructors' Course, Leadership Training Camp AND Peer Leader Camp. I'm like one of the few Sec 2s who are going to take (so-called" Triple Red-Shirt, derived from the ever-lovely Triple Science.

I was uber nervous when they split us into groups, because my group had exactly 20, the supposed number of people that were going to get cut. Then when Senior Matthias broke the good news, it was a real relief. Later, Nicholas Yee came to my class, and passed me the LTC form. I was high for the rest of the day. Really, really high.

Financial Literacy rocked. The game, Praxis, is so fun. Mervin and I are the best, getting retrenched before we even finished our first round. Stayed unemployed for about 70% of the game, my money flowing away like menses blood during a period. Finally got a job and quickly upgraded to Minister. But still only had about 30k at the end of the game. Could have had 42k, but lost my only property due to Property Damage. Bob won, beating his nearest competitor by $300. Excellent, considering that he had $183,000,900. Darn him.

Oh by the way, got my results back. Did the filing of the SA and CA cards with Adeeb, Brandon and Abbas =) Justin's report book is MISSING XD

6 A1s, 1 A2, 2 B3s, 1 B4, 1 C5. Actual figures will come tomorrow. Or Friday. Whichever.

Ok, the rest of this post will be emo. Anyone who wishes not to read, must leave now. Bye.



Second last day of school tomorrow. But I'm not really happy.

It's been 2 years since I joined Victoria School, close to 2 years anyway. And it's been filled with ups and downs, but mostly ups. Yet, tomorrow's the last day we'll officially be together as a class. And it's really gut-wrenching to think of that. All the good times we had together...

I'll miss all of you guys, seriously. It's been a wonderful 2 years, and laughter has filled almost everyday of my life, thanks to you guys.

It's so hard to accept that tomorrow marks the so-called End of Victoria School Class 2C. Next year, we split up. 2 of my closest friends are leaving for IP...

Sigh....

The feelings are really mixed. Part of me's happy that we're all going for what we want, but another part of me, the selfish part perhaps, just wishes we could stay together and just have fun. But that's not possible. I just have to learn to let go...But, it's really so hard...

So, here's a mini-tribute to the people in my class who have really made my life at VS a truly enjoyable one.

Adeeb Fazah Bin Anwar Aziz Marican : We got to know each other right from the start, at the Sec 1 Orientation Camp. You joined ELDDS with me, and we really clicked, our passion for drama-related things common. You've been a good friend, and a very good influence on me, with your constant hard work, good grades and easy-going personality. Without you, I'm sure that my 2 years would have a lot less interesting, and definitely less fun. You're going to VIP next year, so I really wish you all the best. I really appreciate the time we spent together, and cherish it.

Danial Yap Zhen Peng Abdullah : You're not leaving VS, which I'm grateful for. Although we seem to have drifted apart in the last couple of months, I still consider you one of my best friends. Your sarcasm and pessimistic, dry sense of humour was much appreciated, and though sometimes I feel you went overboard, it'll have been a lot less fun without you. You're staying in VS, and I hope that we can have a lot more enjoyable times together.

Nicholas Eng Jun Hao : EngBaBa! You're leaving for TA. My god...All those fun times we had, your comical actions often brightened my day, not to mention your wacky sense of humour. Worked with you on many projects, and you're definitely leader material. We may have argued several times, but I hope you really do consider me a close friend, because I do consider you one. One of my closest friends really. So, all the best in TA, and I wish you all the best. Hope you find what you want in life.

...

I know it might sound repeititive, but I really can't bear to think that we're splitting up. Adeeb's going to VIP, Nicholas is going to TA, and Danial's aiming for a different subject combination. The 4 of us are going to go our separate ways...And it's...it's...It's really just so...damn...sad...

I'm actually crying as I type this, all the emotions are beginning to come out. All the sadness at knowing that we'll no longer be able to spend so much time together, laughing, joking, teasing one another all in goodwill. It really makes you wonder how much you appreciate your closest friends, and if you've spent your time with them well.

But still...Life always has Bei Huan Li He, which means sadness and happiness, separation and unity. Without one of each pair, you can't fully appreciate the other.

It's just so hard though...You guys are really a special bunch of friends. And I just wanna say a big Sorry for everything I've done that has angered you in any way. It's been a fantastic, absolutely fantastic 2 years with you guys...I'll miss the three of you...And I'll always remember you guys. You don't forget your closest friends...

I'm so going to cry tomorrow when we bid each other farewell.

And I'm not going to be embarrassed about it.

After all, I'm already crying right now...
