This is gonna be the 2nd last entry before I close down my blog for awhile.
Today I went to crash a few JCs with Jiawei...in my RV uniform, and I realised that I actually didnt grow in these 2 yrs, I could still fit into my navy blue skirt and minotaur house Tee. I was quite sad I couldnt get my hands on a set of cedar uniform. I've been wanting to try cedar uniform but just couldnt get one with the right size for me, the skirt is either too big or too small. Bleagh... So we went to HCI, NJC, RJC and AJC. NJ is once again flooded with RVians. RVians everywhere. I met a few of my scouts and guides juniors and some of my RV NJCian friends who went back to crash. Then we met Jason and his classmate who was my RV junior but I've no idea who he is and he kindly asked Jiawei n I to join them for tutorial. hahaz. But in the end we didnt because it's so weird to have the 'J1s' joining the J2s for tutorial and in actual fact we've already graduated from our colleges.
I quite like HCI High School section, the spacious feel of the campus and the clock tower. Unlike HCI, RJC buildings are so packed and squeezed beside each other, totally a concrete jungle, green white n black everywhere. Newspaper articles of Raffles achievements are pasted all over the walls of RI. And I came across this article with the headlines,"Everyone's a rival at Raffles." How true...this is just how you survive in a top school, be it positive or negative. Maybe I would be a totally different YueQiu if I had joined the raffles family in sec 1. Maybe I would have a even more stressful life dealing with scheming people and backstabbers apart from studying and keeping my grades up.
Sometimes words do affect people a lot, especially when your friends say hurtful things about you behind your back. Your so called friends...backstabbers...stabbing your friends in the back...what an act of cowardice. I really hate this kind of people. Ha. Yah, the environment changes a person. What kind of environment breeds what kind of people. The school culture maybe... O_o perhaps... I like RV for it's my dream school since primary 4, though the school culture is a bit 'rooted in tradition.' , girls must have shoulder length hair, all must wear white canvas shoes with shoe laces and greet all teachers in chinese etc... So I guess that's why I have the RV look. hahaz.
Anyway, even the bookshop auntie at RJ speaks fluent English without any mix of Singlish. Wow! The first bookshop auntie whom I have ever seen/met speaking perfect English. Oh yah and I met the campus superstar Koh Zhengning, she's sooooooo PRETTY!
So after we left RJ, we went back to AJ. Memories of 1st 3 months flowed back. The Ohana, the grand piano in the hall, classroom 413, LT4, the basketball court beside block 11... I really miss ex-2806. Frankly speaking, I never regret coming to AJ. True, I didnt like AJ from the very start of JAE after almost everyone in ex-2806 had left but friends in AJ kept me going... going. I am contented, really satisfied with what I have and I shant ask for more.
All my friends and teachers in AJ, those from 2506, Cinli, Chiakming, Jillian, Nikesh n Tianshi from ex 2806, my Astro buddies and juniors, my alpha/delta camp mates n instructors, my project buddy friends, my birdpark cip mates, O1 n O2 OG mates n OGLs, the harmockees, the squash peeps, the synapse people who so kindly allowed me to crash their orientation and help them paint banner, the friendly councillors who studied together with me in AJ library during holidays and exam breaks and went to watch basketball matches with me, and last but not least, Patrick who taught me basketball and accompanied me to watch basketball matches.
不在乎天长地久,只在乎曾经拥有.
This is my last time crashing JCs and secondary schools, St nicholas, cedar, nanyang are really nice schools.
Sorry, this post is getting more n more emo, many thoughts are running in my mind now. Argh today is an emo day for me. I cant stop this drop of tear from rolling down my cheek. Just this 1 drop of tear. What does that mean?
I really miss my friends, I miss seeing them everyday, the 'Hi's n 'Bye's from them in school...
I wont change even with the flow of time... unlike memories.
