Yew….! You again, SAM!

I think I should blog about this..

Yesterday it was my Baccalaureate service, or rather, all j2’s Baccalaureate service. It was an official graduation ceremony for ACJC J2s. It was a special day for each and every one of the students and the teachers.

Initially it was special for me because it meant LAST DAY of SCHOOL to me!!!! Yet, the true meaning of it was revealed once I sat through the whole service.

First of all we sang national anthem and said pledge (onle Singaporeans did so, Im not a traitor k…). Then we had our last chapel with the worship led my teachers. They sang very well and I sort of heard my form teacher was crying. Well, actually I was actually quite touched for whatever that happened in ACJC and whatever things that my teachers had done for us, haha…

I cant remember the actual process of this ceremony yet I know I have to mention my Principal’s speech. I always like to listen to her speech, this time what has touched my heart the most is that in her speech, I sensed her sadness for she had to say goodbye to us. I was touched because I sensed that she loved us that she couldnt bear to let us go. I did not experience that in Malaysia though.

There were two more speeches that I want to mention. One is Mdm Catherine’s Baccalaureate thoughts. Her speech was kinda funny in the sense that she had included some mathematics terms (since she’s a math teacher). And that she had summarised some of the characteristics of our batch that sounded so funny yet so memorable from the way she put it. Another speech would be Clearence’s speech. He was the 30th Students’ Council President. He has a very nice voice and a great gift in delivering speech that make him quite popular among the girls. Frankly I enjoy his speech. Compared to the previous and current presidents, I prefer his speech. As usual, his speech did not disappoint me. He too, summarised the significant memories throughout the 2 years in ACJC in a funny way. I laughed together with the students yet I had this sour feeling that I cant experience that anymore. I think Im gonna to miss it… Almost reaching to the end of his speech, he copied some advertisement lines, saying that Sport complex: $240.00… ACJC experience: PRICELESS. I cant agree with him anything less than that. It is true that the ACJC experience is priceless after going through these 2 years. Classmates, friends, teachers, CCAs, CIPs, PW, juniors etc etc All these are irreplaceable.

I almost cried, haha.. but I force myself not to… cz I think I did not want to be that emotional. My mdm cried though she became my form teacher just a few months ago. Maybe my class is just too adorable for her to fall in love with us in a very short time, haha….

Takin photos was the fun part in this service. I took quite a lot of photos, during assembly I took some, after the service I took some and during our class outing I took some. I think I took the most with friends. We (Jess, Jeff, Js, Hy and I) bought presents for the teachers, haha.. so once we were done taking photos with friends, we were off to search for teachers. We bought an artificial rose with Slyvester wearing graduation hat on top of it for Miss Lim, showing that it was a gift from the graduated us for her. We bought red pens for Mdm Liew because she loves to give tests, so the red pens would be useful. We bought a handphone accessory for Miss Toh and when you press it there will be noise from it, haha… We bought handphone holder for Mdm Lim, since it is very beautiful. We bought a pillow for Mrs Yeo, haha.. because we did not know what to buy but we couldnt find her on that day.

Barry gave every one of our class, including teachers a gift, which was pepper container. Mdm Lim gave us chocolate with an adjective which describes each one of us. Guess what? She said Im pragmatic.. haha, oh dear, m I Singaporeanised? N my beloved juniors gave all of us (Geri, Jo, Bei Shi n I) each three ROSES!!!! Wow, that was so sweet of them, haha… but to tell the truth, they only bought them because we asked for them, haha… Actually we were just joking but we did not know that they really went to buy them, haha… Well, maybe I should love them more… hmm… but this doesnt mean to let them bully me more.. haha…

Hmm… Im still not very emo about the parting from AC… maybe I would feel that when I really have to go. Maybe I will cry haha… I would definitely miss everything and everyone here… Im actually thinking whether our juniors will cry??? because all the nice seniors have to say goodbye to them?? haha…..

2 Oct is my birthday. Frankly speaking, I was not very enthusiastic about the day because I still needed to go to school!!!! And went through the boring lessons… Which reminded me that my birthday was not very special at all.. haha..

However, this is indeed a day which cheers me a lot.

Share with you how my friends celebrated my birthday…

On 1 Oct, I had planned to have dinner with roommates, so I came back from Malaysia earlier than usual. I was not very very very… excited about it though, blame on the school work.. I hate school work!!!.. haha.. So we went to Pizza Hut and tried to finish the dinner early so that I could do my work.. The atmosphere was kinda different.. maybe due to exams stress, most of us have many work to do…see lah, this is all school’s fault.. haha… Anyway, nothing much to talk about that dinner because the pizza was out of expectation.. U noe the cheezy bites right, ooh… so disappointing.. I tot I could pull as long as I can yet the bread at the circumference of the pizza would still stick… It did not look extremely yummy.. haha.. Nevertheless, at least I was satisfied with e dinner..

Well, the nicer part of the celebration began in hostel unexpectedly.. haha.. Truly at first I tot, my birthday celebration was only having a dinner. So after coming back from the dinner, I did my homework wholeheartedly in the pantry. Unexpectedly, three of them came in. Haha.. I tot they wanted to take a break or something. Then they blindfolded me. Haha.. it was definitely fun but I was just too scared of falling down that I took relatively small steps slowly when I walked. So they took me walk around the 11th floor.. During the journey I was asked to say hi to some people I did not noe.. Then they tried to bluff me by taking me in and out the lift without literally going to lower floors.. Finally they brought me back to our room. Tada…!!! Here came the surprise!!! On the floor there were presents, my sis’ soft toy and a chocolate cake!!! haha… My dear roommies bought me jewellery box. Then they asked to open a present from an anonymous with message ‘To My Lover’.. Do not be too excited yet, haha, cz currently Im still unattached, nobody asks me to be his gf yet.. But the message did sound a little bit fishy.. Bs, Jo n Geri were there making noise while I was opening the present, saying what ‘Wah.. it is from your secret admirer ah.. who is that har?? Could it be XXX? Who do u think he is?’ and trying to bluff me that the present was on the doorstep one day.. After all e guessing, finally I knew who gave me that. It was from my AJ friend, haha, then these 3 people were trying to made fun of me.. haha.. Well, anyway, this small little celebration had made my birthday a little bit more memorable.. (Note that this happened on 1 Oct, haha..)

Hey wait, I was blindfolded again!! HAix… why like that?? haha… This time round I was brought to ground floor to the canteen.. Wow, this walk was worse than just now, cz there were so many steps!!! Oh dear.. At first I wanted to bluff that I couldnt see but due to my negligent, they knew it and adjusted the towel… sob sob… haha.. So I was brought down to canteen and I was asked to turn 10 rounds when I was stopped. Oh yeah, u noe b4 that my dear roommates were very "kind".. They asked to admit that I liked XXX which I did not, then they asked to say I liked Allen jz bcz I heard his voice… haha.. Then I gave a sincere answer that I liked every juniors, haha… So I was turned 10 rounds and when I took of my towels, omg, the juniors were surrounding me!! HAix… I lost my face lor… haha… Then they said they din buy any cake because they were busy studying for exams, n I tot, its ok la.. haha.. I understand.. Who knows, actually they had brownies and ice-cream!!! haha… but then hor, they had candles but no lighter.. so they asked to imagine there was light and asked me blow… haix… haha.. I was really tired actually, haha, cz I laughed too much le… But I really appreciate the efforts to make my birthday a memorable one, Thanks Everybody!!!!

The next day, which was my actual birthday, not to mention the usual sms greetings from my friends, my beloved classmates, Jess, Jeff, Js n Ho Yuen they all were super duper wonderful!!! U noe wat they bought for me? A soft toy!!! haha… I have longed for that one and I have even made a stupid promise to myself that whoever (guys) gives me soft toy as birthday present I’ll marry to him.. But now, too bad, this gang of friends is the one that I would really ‘marry’ to.. haha.. I’ll try my bestest to preserve this friendship.. I went out with my exroommate for dinner too, haha.. and the dinner was as good as the dinner in Pizza Hut, haha…

So this is what Im sharing with u… At the end of the day, what awaits ahead is still…….. SCHOOL WORK!!!! Arghhhhhh……
