To have fun and go crazy all over again.
And not just plain fun without learning anything.
Learnt many things from many people today, including myself.
Things that were said by Mr Chew and Kelvin today really got me pondering, and reflect.
First off, Mr Chew talked to us during Chemistry lessons.
Told us something that is so true.
About dreams and responsibility.
It's true that we don't dare to dream when we grow older.
Due to the many setbacks that have happened when you were trying to pursue them when you were younger.
We tend to not believe our own abilities when we fail.
And that belief is lost with every setbacks.
We dare not dream anymore.
Think about this, when we are younger, our dreams are very simple.
"I want to be a fireman when I grow up!"
And we really put in the effort to try to achieve our dreams.
And we believe we can.
But when we get older, we always think twice.
We don't have the kind of confidence that we used to have when we are younger.
Like maybe for now, "I want to go to VJC"
Then thinking of several setbacks that happened in the past, you will think again.
Can I really do it?
We all lack of the confidence that any small kid has.
And it is this confidence that allow us to excel and go past our limits.
Maybe that's the reason why we learnt things faster when we are younger.
So it was really a good reflection for myself.
And next, it was Kelvin.
You may be thinking, a student inspiring lives?
Why not?
He's such an inspiring person, and I realised actually we have things in common.
Talking about loneliness, and talking about goals and dreams.
And once again, I will think.
Why is it possible for him to lead Yes We Can even though we have very similar mindsets?
And the reason again lies with the word "confidence"
It's such an important thing but many fail to apply.
We talked about everything.
From the crazy idea that we once talked about on the playground, to Yes We Can, to leadership, to dreams and lastly, talking about relationships.
Both BGR and friendships.
And we were talking about the loneliness that we had experienced before.
Of having no one to confide to or open up to.
And when the loneliness sets in, our thoughts will run wild again.
Thinking about the past.
That's guys for you.
We are like this.
And the short term resolution? Soccer.
Loneliness may not be a bad thing after all.
Maybe it's part of nature.
Maybe it's a way for us to think about things clearly and calmly.
Or rather, loneliness is a period of time where you self-reflect and get your thoughts back to normal or even a higher state.
It's just like homeostasis.
Well, let's start.
Today has really been a very special day for me.
Lessons in the morning.
SS lesson went through the SEQ.
What Mdm Tian said yesterday was mentioned today by Mr Tan.
Talking about the given factor giving L3 or something like that.
So after that, had some free time where I used to do A maths.
Then it was chinese lessons so went down to HMT room to continue with A maths.
Sat behind Kelvin and Jun Wen and did my work diligently.
Then there was a question which I had trouble doing so Jun Wen helped me to ask Miss Junie Lim who was in our HMT room teaching maths.
So nice!
Then after chinese lesson, went back to class and took my stuffs for English.
Was abit late already because Miss Lim was in the class and I was still trying to search through my thick file for my worksheet.
So went up to 402 and then Mrs Goh wasn't feeling that well today so she went out of the class.
Don't remember where she go though.
So clement and I were doing the Ghandi's paper while Xin Horng was doing maths.
So after English lesson was recess.
Recess went down to 405 and then went to street soccer court.
Okay so had some conflicts with zh.
Shan't elaborate.
Anger management :D
But nothing much la.
So after the half and hour soccer, went to buy drinks and then went back to class for Chemistry lessons.
Okay so we did a 2001 paper 2 section A.
And there was this honey star on the floor.
Then nobody stepped on it.
Sad.
Then went through the answers for the paper.
And I was lazy to mark, so Sherine OFFERED to help.
And there she goes vandalising my clean and pure paper.
Great.
So after everything, it was when Mr Chew talked to us about Dreams and Responsibility.
He drew a dream/time graph and a responsibility/time graph.
Dream goes down while responsibility goes up with time.
So true, so true.
Come on, dare to dream.
Have the confidence.
Face the setbacks.
To push yourself to the limits.
And then learn more.
That's life.
Okay so after Chemistry lesson, went straight to street soccer court since there was no maths remedial.
So played a few rounds with Ivan as our keeper.
Played with Li Hao, Vincent, Ivan, Andy, Chong Yu and Wai Heng.
Then later more and more people came.
411, 405, aderick and his friends.
Then got a lot next team.
So the weather was damn hot so I sweat a lot.
Went to buy drinks shortly and then went back to sit awhile.
And some thoughts just set in.
Thinking about whether anyone understands me.
And another part of me will be saying, "Why do you people to understand you? Be independent!"
Well that's some reflection for me.
But the graduation ceremony changed my thoughts entirely.
It's really good to have friends around.
In life, we learn things either from others or from yourself.
In both ways, we learn and grow.
"huo dao lao, xue dao lao."
The graduation ceremony was really awesome.
Being so high and taopok-ing adam and mr tang and throwing him up in the air.
Threw timo up also.
And I forgot to mention timo received a condom for his birthday present LOL.
It was just CHAOS.
I love the phototaking session.
Could see people running around taking pictures and stuff.
All those laughters and craziness just makes me think of the school as a whole.
I wouldn't have know all these awesome friends if I had not sppeal for xinmin when I was in primary 6
And I would most probably be a childish fag in NCHS with no direction in life.
Really want to thank my teachers and my friends for being such awesome people that changed my life.
So after the ultra high graduation ceremony, went to parade square.
Took some photos and then took the ball and pass around.
There were 20 + people waiting and standing around.
Thinking of where to go.
So decided to take the ball and then went to street soccer court like AGAIN.
Played for like 15 minute so only but there were quite a lot of people.
The teachers are going to Safra at mount faber to have their teacher's day dinner so the school closed at around 5.40 today.
So at around 5.30++, Mr John come ya da ya da so we all had to leave.
Then later Sylvester asked me whether I am going to my class outing.
So decided to go so went back home immediately.
Walked with Ivan through the 161 bus stop there.
Then at the bus stop saw wai heng, fizzy and timo.
I decided to take bus while Ivan walked home.
PAI SEH SERIOUSLY.
I wanted to reach home faster.
So 161 came and then boarded the bus.
Fizzy was playing megajump on iTouch.
Just when he is about to pass to me, the iTouch went dead.
Great job.
So alighted and then went home.
Packed my stuffs, bathed and then went to take bus.
But before that went to 711 to buy twistees.
After which, went to take bus and then received a call from Sher Hui.
So while crossing the road, Jeremy tapped my shoulder and then the two of us went to find Sher Hui who was at the kopitiam.
So had my dinner there since everyone was so late.
Then later Chun Arn, Wei Jie and Wilson came.
LOL the first thing we noticed is Chun Arn who wore a tight singlet.
Super sexy HAHA.
Okay so after having dinner, went to playground.
Played with the swing.
Damn fun.
Play until 180 degrees as usual.
But it is the first time I jumped when the swing is at 180 degrees.
I had a bad fall though LOL.
Damn stupid.
But it wasn't painful.
Not hard ground.
So saw media club having an outing.
Kelvin and Ye An was inside.
They left first while we continued waiting.
So after fooling around with the swing, went to punggol park and then met with the rest (Li Ting they all)
They came like finally so we played many things.
Bombs, fire, Whistling sparklers, Laughters, Craziness, Candles, Photos, Bonding, Chinky (Li Ting's brother), Primary school kids (playing with zippo lighter liquid and some flammable gas), Hope they burn their ass, I'm getting lazy to type because I am damn tired, Girls play cards, Guys play fire, Elaine and Sherine making almost-melt-marshmallow, I burnt the whole marshmallow until it smells like Caramel, Whistling sparkler bomb, Burning lantern, Tried to extinguish by blowing and the whole lantern went into the pond, Smoke, Air Pollution, China Pond (as commented by Sylvester), Mad Scientist (as what Jia Jia and Vicki called me) People started going home, Walked around park with Kelvin, Talked about life, Self-reflection, Memorable day.
Thank you 401! Really enjoyed my time at punggol park burning stuffs like small kids.
That's all for today.
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR MAKING MY DAY.
GRADUATION CEREMONY ROCKS.
THE NIGHT CELEBRATION ROCKS.
401 ROCKS.
Yes We Can ROCKS!
EVERYTHING ROCKS WOOOOO.
YEAHHHH I LOVE THE DAY.
I'm sorry for the lazy post.
Really damn tired.
But come on, these memories would be left in my mind.
Today is so memorable.
Bye!
Oh and the grand finale and the epic laughter.
P.S. It feels good after HTHT again! And this time is really ultra HTHT!
Thanks Kelvin once again. For making me believe that I can make that crazy idea happen again. I admitted I've forgotten about this crazy idea :/ Thanks for mentioning it again.
