okie so today was our final final assembly in tj! well it wasnt as emotional as i expected it to be, but still, it was pretty touching to see my schoolmates go up on the stage one by one to thank teachers and friends. these are the people to whom tj meant something to. i'm sure, like i've said before, most of us have complained loud and often about the various restrictions, practices, and even certain people in tj, but ultimately, there are some of us (including me) who have grown to love the school and the people, as most of them have said today. Can any of us really forget the friends we've made throughout these two years? Busy we may have been (well, some ppl at least, lol), but these friends who have been by our side during tutorials, lectures, pdp times and outings.. surely we have forged some measure of friendship with them. For those who will not miss TJ, i do feel some degree of sadness for them.. they would've wasted their time in these two years. Sure, they may get their A's, but personally, I feel that my jc life was enriched mainly due to choir, my classmates, and some of the teachers who have been particularly inspiring and caring.
okay, as u can see, this post in gonna be rather reflective and somewhat emotional, so just a warning here.=)
Choir, especially during my first year, was indeed my main source of recreation especially during busy periods. Rather than complain about the busy schedule of choir, i was thankful for the solace it offered. Truly, a day that ended with choir practice could turn a lousy day into one that bore remembrance. Each choir practice was one that i looked forward to. We were lucky to have such nice seniors who welcomed us warmly into TJChoir.. I'll always rmb them=) It was only when my batch took over that i actually really got to know them - we were so close to the seniors that we actually hardly mingled with one another! but then began the budding friendships within my batch.. within the comm, i made great friends, and though we had some disputes with ms lau, she did call us adorable in the end k! haha=) and within the altos, u guys were great! i wasnt a great sl, but thx to ur support, i pulled thru=) then, the year1s came in this yr.. a great bunch with plenty of potential, and i believe they'll do us proud again nxt syf=) all in all, TJChoir is one i'll never ever forget, and whose concerts, carolling, even cip, and especially the San Francisco trip will be precious memories i'll take away with me as i leave TJ.
and there's 06/05.. i may not have been as close to them as i would have wanted, esp as compared to sec4c, but they have been beside me all through tutorials, lectures and civics.. well they probably wont read this, but anw, to shurong weiwei melissa xiaoshan wendy jiayi, uall were great friends! muz totally keep in touch kk!! to the rest of 06/05, i may not have been extremely close to u, but i think each one of u (yes, really! everyone k!) have contributed much to the class. seriously, i'll miss all my classmates, and the times we've spent sabo-ing cedrick=p, talking abt a certain Mr Cold=), and eating tgt in the canteen..
my 'morning' group will of course be one i'll miss and think back fondly upon.. the spot nxt to the student lounge where we gather daily.. zoe danny yuxuan jojo.. we've not only had shared memories in choir, but also during the numerous lunches, the few kbox trips, and all the other outings we've had.. this very special bunch of people were funny, caring, and altogether made my life in tj so much more interesting. I'll miss the daily morning meetups, the weekly wednesday lunches and of course, just these people themselves.
well, perhaps i'll also dedicate a short paragraph to my maths c class.. though we hardly know each other, it was truly a memorable day when it was maths tutorial and we were all studying at scope. hmm. lol=P
to a special person.. its been impossible to forget, and those fond memories will be cherished..
tj has given me so many things to cherish and remember.. how can i not thank her for these gifts? i love my friends. i love its teachers (well, at least some of them). i love TJChoir. truly, i love tj.
well.. though it was the 'final assembly' today, at least its not the last time we'll see each other.. there's still the A's, grad nite, and of course, collection of 'A' level results. nevertheless, today's so-called farewell concert somehow gave finality to the fact that i will not attend lessons anymore in tj very very soon.
okay, here's some photos i took today!!=))
my morning spot!=)

yup, thats it! gd luck everyone for A's!
An actual ray gun would be my preferred method of spider extermination, but unfortunately, the Bug Vacuum just looks like one. An ecologically friendly device, the handheld vacuum sucks up stray bugs and secures them in a chamber to be released unharmed into the wild. For the naturalist in all of us, a built-in magnifier lets you get a close-up look at the bug while it's trapped. I've always leaned to the tissue-grab-and-flush method for insect control, but I guess I could learn to be a bit more green for 25 bucks. — Trevor Noren
