2008 is indeed an eventful year for me.
Being in a graduating year, everyone's last goal is the O levels. Inevitably, stress befalls everyone. The main lesson everyone had to learn is how to control stress, making sure it doesnt engulf us. Yet, I failed once. Falling into the trap of stress, health deteriorated at an increasing speed. Be it physically or mentally, it was a torture. However, due to this obstacle I faced, it dawned onto me how blessed I am. Friends and teachers who do their best to help me when a relapse occur, who are always worried for my health and most importantly, who believe that I can overcome this. Proudly, I can say, I succeeded!
Stepping into the lap of revision period, it's time to wave Kranji St John goodbye. Having done our best in Zone FAC 2008 and the CAA, the '08 batch of NCOs prepared to step down. Holding on with a chief commisioner badge, Adult cap crest, staff seageant rank, shiny boots and a brain full of knowledge and skills, the NCOs had finally POP-ed. I can foresee KSJ bright future for the seniors have left behind their experience, their knowledge, their achievements. With all this and the bind created between everyone, we shall hit for more miracles.
Ending a relationship I treasured was the worst decision made. Like what most said, forgetting somone you love takes a lifetime. It was hard and terrible. Although friends were there to help me through, I still felt different. Afterall, it was once mine since secondary 2. It was still a hard-to-let-go period. However, if it is yours, it will be yours. Through cross-referencing of sources, I never knew that person could be so underhanded. Maybe this would start another wave of bitching in blogs and conflict, yet I really got disgusted by the name and the person herself. On and off, the hirlpool just circulated, involving more and more people to take sides. Of course, her friends sided her. I dont know what version of story she told them, but... nevermind. It's all past. As I mentioned, what's yours is yours. In the end, the reverse button is pressed and everything gets back to their original place, their meant-to-be. now, if the person is hoping for everything to go wrong like the way she 'warned' both of us, I'm here to say we are perfectly fine and happy.
Seperation is bent to occure in everyone's life. Being the part and parcel of life, graduation is on the way. Saying I wont miss this school is a lie, for every single place left memories for me. I went back to the school during some days in december. Climbing the stairs to every single level brings the smile back to me. The days we had together... I will remember everyone, well not everyone though. But, I'm still grateful to everyone, be it people I loved or hated, you guys really made me feel blessed and fortunate to be loved, to be protected, to be accepted by my friends and teachers.
Every seperation brings about courage to face and to accept. In the midst of preparation for O levels, I had to face the departure of my most beloved grandfather. the day he got wheeled into SICU, he never had the change to come out healthy. Worst still, his health detoriated readily. One day, we received a call, saying that he might be unable to make it. Rushing down with fear and uneasiness around, everyone reached. Everyone gathered around his bedside. Knowng how much he suffered, the adults persuaded him to leave peacefully. With assurance that everything would be well taken care of, he left. Witnessing him losing every signs of living is the worst for all. Everyone cried. Not like those in the dramas, but silently, expressing our unwillingness for his depature.
for all i experienced in 2008, i grew.
and i know, 2009 will be a great year.

24 Nov- 26 Nov
4D CLASS CHALET @ CHANGI FAIRYPOINT 1
went to school to hand in my edusave form before meeting up with the rest of the class at lot 1 at 1.30.
saw may at her ATC group meeting and left with her to lot 1 since she is also having class chalet on the same dates. reached and parted and meet up with my class.
crapped, waited and sat on the floor. unglam. dont care. :D
accompanyed yuxuan to buy drinks and of course with yuxuan around, we gossiped. :\
then we saw a guy dressed in black shirt and shorts, carrying a bag like his treasure.
and he is weichang.
he looked ultra like those thief wanting to rob a bank. :X
gathered, and took train to tampiness. talked all way from comb. UG camp to JCs. took bus number dont-know-what and after walking, reached our chalet.
first thing we debated-wear shoes in or not.
next thing we debated- room selection.
so, everyone rushed into the master bedroom and started "i want this room!" after much persuasion, the guys forgo the room for the girls. YET...
the girls followed the guys to their room and started. "their aircon is cooler!" and "thier mirror is bigger!" lols. all the girls fussy-ness caused much irritation to the guys and they were like, "can you all make up your minds?" LOLS. in the end, the girls got to choose the room and we dominated the master bedroom.
after that, everyone went to the living room and play.
time passed and everyone left for dinnr, leaving me, yeegin, yanni, eric, guanyeow, junguang and yongxiang alone.
and it's seriously scary being in the quiet chalet all of the sudden.
and even Eric Yap got scared. LOLS.
then me, eric, yeegin and guanyeow started a gambling table with yanni sitting alone watching the tv and junguang and yongxiang disappearing to dont-know-where.
eric must have hated blackjack for he lost more then he earned.
in the end, cindy returned with me and yeegin's dinner and while the rest went for bike riding.
played and kunda messaged me and told me that he and his 12 other friends are lost. like shocked? lols. so we started worrying about our classmates and started msg-ing them for their return.
bathed and the biking team finally returned, tired, injured, hungry and smelly. Kind yijun and zul helped to make milo for us. and it's with their own innitiative! thankyous!
played until 4 plus and everyone got tired. in the end, everyone just sprawled around, lying on any flat surface they could find. so left me, guanyeow, weichang and yangqi sitting at the table, tired yet without a place to lie. :( plugged and slept in all kind of position.
6 came and wanlin came out of the room, thus allowing me to have a small sleep. YET.
guanyeow came and woke me up at 6 plus. he goes, "pitsoon called you. but i told him you are asleep and he hanged up. I think you should wake and call him back." i swear i almost kill guanyeow.
woke up at 7 plus after replying the call and almost everyone is awake. the guys and some girls were frying eggs without oil. and it taste ok. even wanting's burnt egg.
went to bus stop with cindy and yeegin to fetched ruiyang who will be joining us for the last part of our chalet. waited and fed mosquitoes.
after escaping from the mosquitoes, ruiyang finally arrived. then... reached chalet and got asked to go and return bike with weichang, ruiyang, shengkiang, yijun, weisheng, wanting, cindy, yangqi and yanni. didnt intend to go but since eric has been sleeping for dont know how long, no one wanted to go and they mentioned about going to the seasude, i succumb.
BUT. the bike is like ultra high lar. adding on to my height, i have to tip-toe to reach the ground. and with the ability to start the bike moving and not stopping it, i choose to stay behind with yanni and weichang who are constantly making sure i'm ok.
then, disaster came. i was cycling at extreme full speed when i reached a road block. then i shouted to weichang "what to do now?" then he replied, "just ride through the space in between." and i did. in the end, i go POOF. onto the floor.
slowly, i stood up and started laughing for the most unglam fall. then weichang came over and help pat the dirt and grass away. from then on, he has been constantly beware of my existence, making sure i dont fall again.
however, i could cycle perfectly well on the road. yet, weichang screamed at me, "you think the road yours ar? cycle at the back on the path lar!" LOLS.
then we returned the bike and waked to the beach staying there for kind of long.
then i started collecting my seashells with the help of the rest, all helping to find some rare ones.
before we went back, the guys tried to do some experiment with the coconut leaves, trying to see how many guys are needed to break the leaves. and the answer is NO ONE CAN BREAK THEM.
so we bought our lunch and left to take our extreme hard to wait bus. reached chalet, bathed na i slept until it's ready for BBQ.
while setting the fire pit up, the rain came falling. DANGS.
so everyone rushed in while me, yuxuan, yongxiang, junguang, zul and ruiyang tried to save the fire and failed.
being wet and after much persuasion from the class, everyone stayed indoors and waited for the rain to stop. watch 萤火虫 and started saying that the show is a propaganda. LOLS.
finally the rain stopped and the guys helped to start the fire while the girls stayed in the kitchen to prepare the food. then...
"no lighter!!" and everyone was like HOW? so we called mr teo for help but..
the fire was started before mr teo arrived with his wife and baby. so the guys took over the job of BBQ-ing while the girls stayed indoors slacking just because they said, "you girls cant BBQ well."
fine fine. but to admit, their food is nice. although the way it is marinated and prepared is important too. :D
then waterbomb started with me being the biggest mastermind, making sure everyone out in the battlefield gets wet while i, staying in the safe zone, clean and dry. :D
bathed, slacked, TV-ed, mahjhonged and gossiped with yuxuan and guanyeow in the girls' dorm. then...
"COCKCROACH!!" we screamed.
then, armed with 1 satay stick, 1 plastic cup and 1 torchlight, they invaded the cockcroah's nets by turning the wardrobe upside down. and the cockcroach got caught. YAYS.
slept until 9 plus. ate breakfast and packed, getting ready to leave.
parted ways with the class at tampiness, waiting for him to come down from pasir ris.
went to jurong point for ultra heavy lunch and being tired, we went home.
