A Personal Parcel (Wednesday, September 29, 2010 / 9:29 AM)
Dear Lydia.T,I'm reflecting the year in school now-- in school.
This year has been pretty good I think, everybody has been so nice to each other, really, supporting one another when in need of a helping hand (and maybe notes to borrow).Maybe because of the fact lingering at the back of our minds telling us that most of us might be splitting classes next year,and that a good friend will be leaving Singapore soon and things probably won't be the same...But in the meantime,I thought that this year has passed in the blink of an eye.Too fast, I say, to even register what was of yesterday.
This year was full of experiences-- camping in Jurong Bird park was extraordinary, pushing our limits at kayaking. Knowing familiar people better, and know new ones like
Rebecca (g6) and
Lemuel,
Yi Xuan,
Meerabelle! They are nice friends to have. Learning how to appreciate others and to not pick on their shortcomings is something that is now truly dear to me.
Visual Arts has also been really inspiring, especially when we had Ms Felicia Low over to relief us. I was glad she taught me a method on how to shade using paint, it was a joy to have her. At the same time Ms Tsang has also encouraged me to not be disheartened by little set backs that I face--It's all part of the process. Experiencing the Thai arts was also pleasant. I have also grown to love the Art of Dance. ALSO! Mr Rozells is really the nicest teacher I have ever met.Which teacher would treat us to
Mac's and sponsor us Pizza!---But of course he teaches just as well--no, doubly well.
As for academics, I'm quite glad that I'm hitting most of my goals, but higher expectations do await me in the near future. I should contribute more to class discussions, though, it's funny that I'm
quiet in class. Heheh.
Regrets? I think it would be not relying on my watch but instead the one in the Lecture Theatre for a recent Chinese mock paper, resulting in a not-so-well-done paper.
Disappointing.
I also very much regret not keeping in touch with my best friends in Primary school as much as I wanted to, who are now fairly distant from me and yet much closer to others.
Let it be a dream that BFFs existed?
My hope is for everyone to be promoted together and as best as possible be in the same class(I really don't know what I'll do without them), or at the very least, be in the same class with Qing (and a few other Good Friends). And stay with my VA class, because there is so much to learn from each other and they are good influences for each other.I also hope that I will not lose contact with Shruti
. T.T
Sincerely Yours Truly,
Lydia.TJM
PS; Gambatte everyone for the EOYs!
