After reading Keefe’s entry I’ve reflected on some heartfelt thoughts about the four years that strided past so quickly.

2006: I joined this school. I was childish and was a loser to the max. However I joined this class which provided a sense of belonging. It was only then I felt settlement in this school. Punishment in the days are now fond memories of our mischief. We sweat together and we grew.

2007: Streaming year. I remember absent-mindedly joining the dota hype, begging my aunt for the seventy dollar video game. I vividly remember rainy afternoons where we stayed in class for self-study sessions. The humid air and stench of sweat we’re so used to. Bad learning and really slacking. I only bucked up in the last three weeks before the final year’s and somehow I managed.

2008: Unfortunately, more slack. But I believe this was an important phase of my life. I learnt so much and I’ve grown so tall. You’ve taught me so much. The extra load of subjects became manageable and chinese became a problem, a hurdle so high I thought I’d trip and fall over. I remember the arduous grinding of chinese and the intensive sessions, that was most memorable from the curriculum. And we were swimming and playing on the day before the exam!

2009: Senior year. I’m mostly guilty because revision hasn’t been on my schedule (it has but I’m too lazy) but I’m picking up. Once again I think I’ve grown. And somehow I learnt to see and study people, and unfortunately my school holds a majority of children rather than men. I’m truly glad that my peers and I fall under the mature category (well most of us)

NOW LET’S GIDDY UP AND DO THISSSSSSS.

Undoubtly, I’ll miss this short period of time we spent together.

We’ll move forward and have beautiful tracks to reflect upon.
