Today is the final day where I'll go through normal schooling in SJI. Ever.
What can I say? That was one hell of a fast ride. I can still vividly remember the first day I stepped in, 6.45 in the morning, bright and alert for my first day. Meh, who am I kidding, I was fighting not to fall asleep since I had to get up at 5.30 to get to school before I moved.
Someone (Name starts with K, ends with H, and has a EIT in the center) unscrewed the 422 sign from the back door and ran off with it, and almost got the one at the front door as well. While not exactly a sensible idea, I guess it shows how much we love our class, to the point that we want to carry a part of it (Literally) with us everywhere we go.
The memories...
Well, there are good ones, there are bad ones, and there are stupid ones that just make you go "WTF?". I'll just try to keep the good ones, try to forget the bad ones, and replay the stupid ones in my head for laughs.
You start to take notice of all the little things you never bothered noticing before on days like this. Like how small groups of guys will just sit around shooting the shit with each other after class, how Kevin's latest chalk portrayal of Wayne on the board has much in common with a Greater Demon, all that.
Tried to leave our own mark somewhere in the class, but 422 2007 got most of the good spots already. Even the bits behind the projector screen, although Raghaav and someone else already wrote TungNation there as well.
And yet the day passed like any other day, with a few exceptions. Feroz was being the usual stupid bitch she is, but Lam finally stopped picking on the usual people today (Wayne, Shen Shin, Tim, Gerard etc).
The testimonial letters Tung wrote for us were fantastic, got an entire paragraph talking about my academics and how I've always done well, though his letter makes it seem like I've only ever played one year for my team, cause he only mentions 2007.
Of course, Tung decided not to be entirely truthful this time round, unlike during Graduation Day. According to him, Sam is a "man of faith"
As quoted from the man himself
------------------------------
Sam : God is my favourite fictional character.
------------------------------
Go figure, he's not very big on religion. Shen Shin is apparently a "compassionate" person. Next to a rock perhaps. And for some reason, practically everyone's letter had the word "amiable" in it. Probably a lack of a better word, same reason why the principal can only use "urge" and Miles can only use "special" when requesting we do something or praising a person respectively.
To all the friends I've made here (Bryant, Tim K, Tim the Fool, Sam Loh, Lolses, and rest which I haven't listed here), thanks for the good times guys. Many of us will probably go our separate ways after the O-Levels, but I'll always carry the times we spent together with me. Good luck to all of you guys, and once again thanks for the memories.
Especially you Wayne. The time where you clotheslined yourself will be a tale I will tell my grandkids with pride. 8 )
