Graduation
Monday, December 17, 2012 // 0 comments
I was highly inspired by Kim's blog posts so i decided to revive my blog again with proper updates.I seriously think i have commitment issues because i promised to update regularly after O's but i abandoned it again for the 2893382475898374282100000th time. I'm so sorry for being a failed blogger OTL.
Graduation day was the most memorable day in my life. I was selected to represent my class in giving a graduation speech, it was similar to but not as grand and honourable compared to a valedictorian speech.
I had a lot of trouble writing it so i approached my English teacher, Ms Eng. She was a great help and i told her i was extremely nervous to present it. Even though i had given 12394 speeches in front of the whole school before, this speech was very meaningful to me because this time i really wrote it with my heart and i was kind of scared that my school mates would judge me for my words.
I was the third person to give my speech, so the speeches given by the previous two people really affected me deeply. The entire morning all of us were really sad, and my friends were really quiet because we finally realised that we won't be studying together anymore as a class. So when my name was called, my hands and legs shook like mad and i was sure that the blood drained from my face. I looked extremely pale.
"Four years have passed......" I began.
The moments of pent-up sadness dissolved into tears that started rolling uncontrollably down my cheeks. I struggled to stay calm, so i turned around, allowing the audience to see my back. Ms Eng came over and encouraged me to continue, then suddenly all my school mates cheered for me and clapped loudly. I then turned around and continued my speech.
My speech was heartwarming, but there was a bit of sarcasm in it hahahaha. I was glad the audience laughed, but i am sorry to Mr Ng if i accidentally humiliated him with his speech. Oh well, i've graduated! Hahahahaha.
Looking back, why did i even cry? Was it because i was too nervous? Or was it because i was really upset that all of us would never be learning together as a cohort anymore? My only guess is it was a combination of both..
Throughout the last few months, many many interesting things happened.
I became close friends with people whom i never thought i would ever mix with, the teachers treated us food everyday. We laughed, A LOT, especially me because i've always loved to laugh.
Basically... studying for O levels became our common goal. I even went back to school on Saturdays just to consult Ms Chee for two hours.
I remember staying back in school for night study with Jon, Nisa and Brydon. Sure we were tired, but it was worth it! :)
O levels were over so fast and i can't believe it's halfway through December already! Wow.
Alright i guess that's all for today, will blog about my trip to Malaysia tomorrow! Hopefully, hehe.
