i hope i wont cry when i type my entry today. well, its my school's graduation day today. its the last day of school for the graduating classes and the time where we bid farewell to one and all. so todays entry is gonna be long. just bear with it for a few mintues. sorry about it!

graduation day is a day when all the graduating classes say goodbye to teachers and friends. im not sure whether its supposed to be a happy or sad occasion. like what sara told me, its both. hmm, it was rather exciting and tiring today.

first 4 periods were lessons as usual. totally bored. i was only worried for the speech. my speech was from a 2 page to 1/2 a page. haha, my form teacher summarised everything. not that bad. its all about thanking the teachers. and everyone.

our graduating ceremony started at 10am. at the pathetic temp hall and canteen. the poor students sat on the benches and they started to play video and picture slideshow. it was not bad, brought back all the past memories. and people cheered when the slideshow played someones face. haha, so funny lor. looked so blur and gong. haha.

and then the whole thing commence with the principal speaking. it was as usual, the long winded mr goh choon lengs speech. but i guess this will be the last time i hear something like that. im gonna miss it. anyway, then the teacher of each class gave a short speech to their own classes, and present them with a "GRADUATION 2004" folder. things inside were, the funky individual photo, certificate (if u have), result slip, a postcard written by our vp, a tesimonial sheet and a cd. i think thats about it. some extra papers inside too. it was quite okay lah. but things cocked up during the presentation for some classes. either called the wrong person or the person was not being called up to stage. wasted alot of time lah. the emcees also like "heck care", the guys voice so soft! i cant hear him. haha.

after presentation of those stuffs, 3 ex-students came to talk. short ones. and then.... the most happening part. its the thank you speech time! oh no! i didnt know what to do lor. totally blur. went up the stage with some other people. i was.. kept on talking to my friend to reduce my nervousness. i was saying that i might pee on the stage. but i didnt. i "ren". haha. it was my turn. hannah and joycelyn read so fast. i kept whispering to hannah, asked her to slower down. haha. i was dumb lah.

anyway, my turn next. i held on to the mic. stood behind that thing where you can place your paper on it. i started to read after all those cheerings from my class. i wanted to laugh. but i controlled, and started to read. it was like a "chu-chu" train lah. i read quite fast lor. but i got the comment that it was understandable. someone i dont know, sunil wanted to tell me something. he said, "eh dude!" and something, but i walked away cos everyone was looking at me when i ended my speech. oh dear, but thumbs up for me. everyone showed me that. my first attempt was a success. oh well, let me share with you my speech for the day. its as below:

"Good morning Mr Goh, Mr Jin, Teachers and fellow students. It is my honour to represent my class 4E8, to address you. I would like to thank all the teachers who have been with us in out successes and sometimes failures for the last 4 years. The atmosphere in our class has been tense because of the coming O levels.

We acknowledge the hard work and effort put in by our teachers, especially our form teacher Mr George Joseph, to prepare us for this last hurdle which will determine our futures forever. I personally appreciate the care and attention that has been given by our teachers in all the various subjects.

In my short 4 years in this school, I will treasure the friendships I have made. I am grateful also for the workshops and courses that have taught me valuable skills that I can apply. I also want to thank the executive and administrative staff including the canteen staff.

Every experience from the smallest one like queing up for food to the grand like attending a speech day concert, I will hold in my heart and always treasure. And on behalf of my class, 4E8, I would like to thank this school for those wonderful memories. Thank You!"

haha, thats what i said today infront of 100 over people. i did it! and i was quite fast. my hands were numb the moment i got hold of the mic. looked up to the audience for a few times. they were so attentive. again, i missed something.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR PAYING FULL ATTENTION!!!
and thanks my 4E8 and friends for the support and applause you gave me!

we finished and theres buffet for us. i only ate one puff or cake or pastry. it was nice! and thats the last meal im gonna have in my school. haha.

err, im feeling sad now. im only left 1/4 left with my school. a school where i learn so many things. not only studies but learn to grow up. though the impression my school first gave me wasnt that great, but its totally different now. serious!

anyway, this school has improved really alot. not only in the environment where we have this koi garden and sundeck, we've got this colourful library, resourceful science lab, gym and also the upcoming new hall and canteen. and a courtyard of course! but the most important thing is the academic results. they are improving day by day. thats why i believe or say sarcastically that my school will become a future independent or sap school. haha, im mad!

but i guess with the help of the principal, vp and teachers, our school will make it one day. we wont lose to those schools like raffles, anglo-chinese, sji, chij and so on. we wont! haha, i've got confidence that once we leave and the new batch of students take over, my school will definitely strive hard towards that target of being a "top choice school in the yishun town". thats one of our mission!

anyway, i think trying to find ways to make myself cry or something. btw, sara, you made a correct guess last night! you gave me advice and also the song, when you listen to it, your hair will STAND! vitamin C's - graduation (friends forever) was played. it was a touching moment. auld lang syne was there too! held hand in hand, we sang our school song and pleged for our school creed. the last time we're gonna sing it and say it.

when the whole thing ended, we took photos and so on. some were gorging themselves with the buffet. sigh, again the same old situation. but its okay! the food is nice so just go and take. more and more! klaf told me he took 7 of those crab pincers. what? i want to eat, you know!

hannah surprised me today. she cried. and she realy cried. although we always treat her like one of the brothers, she teared today the moment i said something to her. and this is what i told her. "hannah, time flies hor. we've known each other since pri 4 and its like 7 years ago. i still remember all those things you told me in pri 4 about fertilising the plants with shit and urine which i didnt believe you the last time. and the titanic song you used to sing. i'll always remember all those fun moments. hannah, take care, study hard!"

her eyes were well up. she cried but denied the fact. haha, shes a girl! yeah, hannah, you've been a great friend! dont cry anymore lah. we'll get to see each other anyway. yah? you dont see this msg hor. haha.

i shaked hands with everyone i know. from those i dont really know to i know. i've got so many things to tell you all. haha, aidil shocked me too, when i approached him and said all the best to him. he hugged me, tightly. haha, stunned lor. and his disgusting "wai hoe, wai hoe" yucks! haha, wai hoe is another name. im a cantonese, so got 2 names. cantonese translation to weihao, you see. haha, it was abit gay but nice lah. friendly hug. hmmm, and naufal only used his last finger to shake my hand. he was talking on the phone actually, i interrupted him.

alright, im gonna say something to you all. let me start off with my class.

4/8: i will love and miss this class. a class that i was posted to after my sec 2 streaming to 3/8 and then to 4/8. this class is definitely wonderful. no peace but always fun! and this class will be like my 2E6 which will always remain in my heart.

2/6: my beloved class. i always love this class more than i love 4/8. well, things changed abit now. i love both equally. 2/6 is a class with forever slacking, sleeping, copying and of course the non-stop fun brought to you guys by me and hannah. 2/6 will always unite as one. rock on my class, 2E6! see you at the chalet in late november!

my school: like what i've said. you gave me a really poor impression the last time. things changed slowly. i know im bad to tarnish my own school's reputation cos i always complain that you are lousy, budget, small in size, not a sap school and whatsoever. but now, you are different. gonna be a brand new school with state-of-the-arts equipment and facilities. i believe you can make it one day! but then, i still hate you cos we dont have any graduation or any prom night for the graduating classes.

Hap Fam: oh, this bunch of people. people from 4/6 to poly people. haha, some i dont know, but its established in early 2003. well well, we've got those dream homes we are allocated to, dont we? hah, you are the people who accompanied me throughout. no matter its before school, during school or after school. we always have so much to talk about. i will always remember this group when i leave school. you are always there for me, thanks alot!

Da Untouchables (brothers in my class): haha, surprised? anyway, i know i always complain that you are a bunch of nuts and so on. but only recently about something, i realised how much we know about each other. although i hardly talk to some of you, but i know you regard me as your friend. you all always help me when i needed help. brought laughters to the class everyday with those happy mood of yours. those screamings and disturbing of teachers, i will always remember. and not forgetting something today. we took photo together. i didnt want, but you all pulled me in. it was kinda "heart-warming" lor. naufal invited me to sit, aidil and kim sun pulled me. haha, and they all came crushing together. hands over shoulders. and faces stick together. haha, nice one! but i hope the picture will turn out well, cos my face is there. haha, you guys are great! oh, i know how to retreat back the next time. just take off my shoe, and aim at one of them. haha.

finally, im going to end my entry today. its long winded i know. telling you about those memories i have which dont interest you. anyway, i want to tell all of you that
YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE A PLACE IN MY HEART!!

never will i forget the 4 years in my sec sch. no matter its sweet, sour, bitter, i will always remember you... thank you!

alright, i think im going out for dinner later. hmm, im gonna think of some teletubbies thing, cos i had this story writing yesterday. haha, and i will remember, i am very happy and my mom making herself angry. she is angry with me and my doll.

more details up soon. haha, thanks my biggest fan! and thanks sara for telling me to visit that speech webby, i made use of the "indication" point. it works! and nicholas, dont worry that you forgot to mention my name. its the thought that counts.

had lunch at mos. it was fun lor. at first was, *faint* people are so inconsiderate. they finished eating and continued to stay there and like cant bear to leave the place. but the process of eating was fun lor. we took alot of photos. my phone and wee jeans cam. i took more than 20 photos. but some were missing, i dont know why. sigh i think they deleted it cos my phone was difficult to use and they pressed the wrong button or what. the one with the fries is missing! wee jean send it to me!!!!!!!
