it's been a long and tedious journey through the secondary school years - 5 years at that! nothing beats having friends around and having them close.
finally, it's the end of all the fun and laughter, sadness and unhappiness. it's time to start fresh. however, i have to express my heart filled memories on this graduation day (last day of school) first.
as i said, it's the last day of school. the last day we're going to spend the time in the classroom as a whole, the last day we're going to greet teachers and our last day to really really look upon the school as a hub of friends and teachers, even servants.
i can vividly remember the very first day i stepped into the school. i reached at 6.54am on the dot and i agreed to meet jessica at 7am as she was the only person i knew from primary school. we were childish and playful but we have matured tremendously.
this year - secondary 5 - was the best one at yet. we've gone through the N levels and here we were in seconday 5. we worked hard. i did not have any problems at all. although sometimes when i'm too stressed, i tend to think too much and get sad. it's already the last lap of the race and we would not give up. ms chua would remind us with her idiom - perserverance is the key to success. she has indeed drilled us alot in the area of humanities (ss and geo). she gave up her free time to coach us the skills needed in ss and the common sense we needed in geo. also, the infamous phrase "damn idiot!!". i always try to complete the work she sets for us as i did not want to disappoint her. mdm yani often giving us her undivided attention towards our goals and aspiration. most importantly, life skills that we would not have known if she did not share and instill it in us; integrity. ms tan, our dearest and closest form teacher that we had known since sec 3. the priceless drilling of english and how we have to force her to mark our papers before some insect chews on the papers. she left a huge impression in my life (till now). i'll never ever ever forget her. memories of her laughter, her powerful vocals that could rock the earth and the piercing screams that could shatter windows would be fitted into my heart just like any one of the well polished jigsaw puzzles in my heart. she never gave up on us and never looked down on us. that is the best graduation present of all.
today, during the graduation ceremony, we had to sing a chinese song, xi shui chang liu. despite being weak in my chinese, i sang with dignity and pride. it was the last day of school after all and the most i could do was to sing a song for the graduating classes. when it ended, mdm yani came round and wished us luck. when she came to me, she was already crying, i could not help but cry too. it just makes my heart ache when teachers cry. i sobered down. then ms tan came to me exclaimed "melody!" and she gave me her luck, halfway through, i just burst out crying. it just came naturally. like i said, she left a big footprint in my heart and i was just so sad that it had all came to an end. i will definitely miss everyone!
secondary school life could not have been much better.
