"THE END"
"Wednesday, 19 November 2008
I took this picture on the evening exactly a week before the A levels started.
From the school canteen overlooking the track.
Its a beautiful sunset.
And now, another chapter of my life has ended.
Two years are over just like that.
Over this two years, I've learnt and experienced much.
I've built bonds that will last a lifetime, found friends whom I will forever cherish.
When I first entered JC, I thought to myself: "Its time for your next adventure."
Apparently I got much more than I bargained for.
My life has been like something out of a movie.
I've smiled.
I've laughed.
I've cried.
Through it all, I like to think that I've matured somewhat.
Learnt my lessons the hard way.
I'm no longer that brash arrogant kid(yes, kid) who cared only for himself at the expense of others.
Hopefully, I've grown a little wiser as well.
Able to see that my actions have consequences and the world doesn't just revolve around me.
The Hockey team: Felix, Nanyang, Yi Xuan, Martin, Zan Yu, Justin, Shi Hao, Wei Qin, Ananda.
07s20: Jin Xian, Ben Hong, Zhi Han, Hao Bo, Sze Siong, Kah Ho, the five princesses, siva, the rest of the guys.
Mrs Jarleh(about as real and cool and hip teachers come), Mr Nick Chan(taking time out on a public holiday to give us consultation), Miss Shery Ang(Buying McGirdle for us and gossiping) and Mr Chew Ju On( The butt of many jokes but still kind enough to automatically come library and provide help whenever he's free).
If I didn't mention you, please don't be insulted.
The list isn't exhaustive.
It's too much to list out each and every person who made a difference to me in NJ.
As the sun sets over NJ, so does it over this phase of my life.
Chapter closed.
However, my story is far from complete.
Life has so much in store for me."
This post was up exactly one year ago.
I've come quite far since then.
Hasn't been a good year for me though, my army life has been far from smooth sailing.
I left JC a year ago, and have been serving army for over 10 months.
And my life has since changed dramatically.
Ligament tear, hearing loss, allergic reaction, hornet stings....
If I can get out of army with my body 80% of what it was before I enlisted, I'll already count myself lucky.
