The SC farewell party was held today. I met Yurong at Serangoon MRT and we were so engrossed talking that we took the wrong train. We saw someone who really resembles Ms Poh. Anyway, we reached Florence's house before we knew and we went to NTUC to buy food for the party, only to see Egan already there with a typical green basket of NTUC and a NTUC plastic bag, while browsing through hotdogs. We've got 100 fishballs, 60 hashbrows (after much contemplation), 10 packs of crabsticks i think and 3 packs of japanese chickens. Like, wow. While cooking, we remembered that we needed trays or anything to contain the food so that we could bring them to school. But it appeared that Florence didnt have such at home so Yurong and I searched high and low for containers at NTUC, 7-11 and hawker centres. No avail, though, so very-nice Florence joined us and finally we found a very nice aunty whom we initially thought was scary and fierce, and whom GAVE us 20 boxes since it's for school, she said. OMG such a small act but the 3 of us felt so touched, seriously. Well that's of course, since we literally searched high and low for boxes to contain food. Anyway the party was a blast. I really got inspired by the video MR YEO showed us and all the speeches made by the Year Fives 2009. Although i'm very new in DHSSC, i kinda teared during the speeches because they were so emotional. The Year Fives 2009 seem like a hell lot of fun and it's so unfair that we, as Year Twos 2009, dont get to work with them in Junior High SC. :(I now know what i'm gotta prepare myself for. I know SC takes time, effort and lots of commitment but at the same time, laughters, joy, fond memories will be following us. Things are gonna get difficult for me, especially when i've got so much in hand to do and i'm sucha stupid person. I sense that stress is on the way, yet somehow, i look forward to facing all obstacles together with all Dunmanians, all Bellancans, all Student Councilors. It's definitely not going to be easy for me, having to juggle my studies, Japanese, piano, SC and SYF, but well, life has never been easy i guess. All these are just out to test my mettle and as Wendell has said (on msn), it's good that we have so much to do now because in future when we look back, we're gonna be proud of ourselves that we actually pulled through and survived all the ups and downs. That really inspired me and made me look forward to Year 2009 and all the stress it's bringing me. Here's something from the video that Mr Yeo showed us:"Stop competing. Start excelling. No one has to lose for you to win."Yes, and so i'll start excelling. I remember how Mdm Suriana used to compliment me that i excel in all avenues. I'm really glad there are people out there who believes and have faith in me. I've been monitress in all my 6 years in my primary school, and i'm more than willing to serve, once again. Here in Dunman High, i'm gonna show that i can care, serve and lead. I can hardly wait for Year One orientation, so that i can take out the leader in me and show everyone, I'm back. INSPIRE!
