We ran and we ran.
We met hurdles on the way- some of which we've successfully jumped across, some of which we did not, despite all the hard work and energy put in.
We fell, but we got up with the support of our peers and teachers, and we continued the run.
It's literally going through ups and downs.
And now, it's the final lap.

(This post is gonna be pretty emotional because that's exactly how i'm feeling right now.)
Time certainly flies. Just before you manage to slow down a li'l to catch your breath after the massive exams, school is out.

Frankly, i've been rather happy with myself overall. Look at me when i was P6- i only bothered to do serious studying and revision at the end of the June vacations. My prelims were awful, and my 262 was really a plesant surprise, something that i've never expected in myself. Perhaps it was just luck, that i guessed all my MCQs right? But anyway i successfully got into DHS, where things are really happening...and different.

So at the beginning of the year, i was still in my primary school mode, thinking that secondary school will not be very much different from primary school. And so i let my hair down and focused on other areas instead especially hanging out with friends. That's when i got to know Bridget, my current confidante. We hanged out a lot, just the both of us, and we, too, went through a lot. We faced really awful rumours together, sharing the same enemies and good friends; we also experience joy together, especially train rides home, when we'll start confiding and all. Long phone call everyday was a must, since we (i) took things lightly and did not think much about studying (yet). Lunch after tuition every Saturday appeared to be rather frequent, and it seemed as though DHS was an easy place to live in.

Then slowly, as exams were approaching, we understood the need to be serious and so we were. We studied more but nevertheless, things were somewhat the same. Only this time, we were really more serious and the way we were so quiet during Geog lessons showed it all. She helped me a lot with my work, especially Math and well, maybe Chinese sometimes. And i really am grateful, Bridgetl. :d

Slowly, EDS girlfriends became part of my life too. Bridget (again), Daryl, Desirae and Sabrina. Well each of them plays different role in my life. Bridget, well, isnt it clear enough by now that she's my ever best girlfriend and confidante? Daryl, she is very nice to talk to and she understands me too, and i like it how she trusts me with secrets, jokes with me and gets serious when it's time to. I just dont know why i love Daryl so much, probably because she is able to put herself into my shoes and always understands me. Desirae, she's always so encouraging and she can really make me feel better. Her smses are always at least 2 pages long, to comfort me when i'm stressed up, especially during the EOYs period. Her hugs are just so comforting, and sometimes when i see her, i get so touched by all her actions that i'd have the urge to cry. Sabrina, come to think of it, i dont remember her comforting me. BUT she's that cheerful one among us 5 who makes us laugh with her crazy personality and i think without her, this wonderful clique wont be here too. Sabrina just has that ability to talk non-stop, and she just cheers me up. In short, these 4 people really play an important role in my life, especially my secondary school life. I really love you girls, thank you for everything.

Not forgetting my bellanca girlfriends. Bridget (again, again), Daryl (again), Reena, Stephenie, Siqi and Melanie. It's really nice to know them all, to have them around, to joke about everything, to laugh at everyone and everything. Thank you loves.

DHS has been sucha nice place, where everyone plays together and mugs together when time comes. It's been a long journey, but throughout, i enjoyed myself thoroughly, especially with all the company i've had. With all the company, the mugging sessions, the celebrations, dance, tears and all, i've never regretted joining DHS. :)
And we've completed the race.
