Much has happened


Well this post is probably going to be a very long one. Probably. Much has happened since I last posted, the highlights of which include Yiling and Gail joining the aunty club, WeiXian earning a right to be in the museum of natural history, and me finally graduating from 12 years of ACS.

My prelim results after moderation ended up as

A for Bio
A for Chem
A for Math
B for General Paper
D for Econs

And F for spelling.

I shall now proceed to reflect on my 2 years in JC, particularly this year. First of all, I'm really really thankful for the class of SC1 that I was/am so privileged to be a part of. I can't imagine my JC life in any other class, and all the experiences, good and bad will be remembered dearly till my mind requires the space for other things. I can't (ok I actually can) believe that our (almost) 2 years has passed so quickly. In my opinion JC2 was really the nicer half of JC altogether. It may have to do with the lack of CCA since July, or the fixed class venue which is also so awesome (I LUBX YOUZ F4.1), but I think that it's probably just how our class identity and personality had developed after a year.

I think we're really really fortunate to be blessed with facebook and the like, which make storing photographic memories so easy. Generations of students in the past graduated and probably only had at the most one album of photos to remember each other by, photos that would fade over time. We, on the other hand, have the almighty facebook which knows no limitations for everyone knows that the internet is infallible (note sarcasm). Yes, I will one day look back at these photos and wonder to myself "My, how slim I was back then", and proceed to pat my tummy that would have grown over years of (hopefully) joyous marriage. Future generations of sconers will also look at our class photos and envy that our class was blessed with the awesome Men of Scone and the rest of the beautiful ladies. They will laugh and gape at youthful photos of seasoned prime minister Amanda Ang.

Honestly, SC1 would not have been the same if not for each and every one's personality and character. Zoe's "maniacal" laugher (quoting Grace), Lydia's weird and humorous antics, Amanda choo's cacophonous/beautiful singing and exclamations of BOMBOM好CUTEAH, Joelle's liposuction thing, Alon's pinoyness, Fern's unusual knowledge and liking of songs from 1970-1995, Ian Yang's hotness, Wei's retarded jokes, Amanda Ang's messages to econs mdm, the collective choir girls' singing, Chin's taitainess, Yi Ling's public transport is bad rule, Dora(speaks for itself), Jiayi's weird lesbian-ness, Peiyan's china music, Li Lin's Shrek zoo, Liz's lack of exercise, Sandra's bimboness, Mae's artsy-fartsy-is-so-frikin-coolness, Anne's really really deep speeches and ginseng thing. I can't think of anything strange about Chye and Jane, which makes them the most normal I suppose. Feel free to add to the list.

A year ago, I had probably just gotten back from CCAAB. While many things have changed since then, I don't in any way regret my decisions. Well ok I do some, but overall no. At CCAAB dinner last year, I wrote 10 things that I would have accomplished by October-something-2009. Of these 10, 2 had to do with basketball. Of the remaining 8, I am fairly proud that I have more or less accomplished 6. These include passing chinese :D

Ok I feel like doing other things now, so good luck to all my hao pen you who are studying hard for A levels, and remember that this is but a small fragment of the line that will be our life. While it may affect our future largely, I'm quite certain that years down the road we will all look back and laugh at how insignificant A's were, whether our results are good or bad. The important thing is that we formed strong friendships that will hopefully last a lifetime, and that is something that we can be happy about.
