Dear Journal, this will be the last entry til the O's guess i'm too occupied mugging to blog. It will be damn long entry so if you are busy or whatsoever, you'd better stop reading now.Friday-14/10/05It was our Graduation Ceremony. I woke up late so i sort of sneaked in around 9. went for the rehearsal which was damn funny cause when som people went up to practice receiving the certificate, some people shouted names. Especially for Go Naidi where almost all the guys & even girls shouted "ARRIFIN!!!" Haha.Kinda dissapointed i only got a cert for prefectorial board and not for band. In fact,i would rather get certificate for band than prefects because honestly,i have put everything into band while i slacked in carrying out my prefects duty.OUr rehearsal ended at 10.15 & we were released for break til 10.40.The real ceremony started on time.Miss Singh was so attractive in her dress & Miss Tan's dress wasn't bad too. Mr Kor was the speaker for the whole ceremony & the guest speaker was an ex-whitleyan. For the very 1st time,the principal's speech didn't wasn't boring. The guest speaker's speech was not bad either. When the handing out of certificate began,they started to play canon in D which made my friends around me want to cry including me. As my turn drew closer,i thought of the times spent in whitley for 4 years, flippin through the memories in my mind starting from orientation camp followed by my probation camp & band camp. Thoses camps in sec 1 were definitely the best camps i've ever attended,making new friends & getting to know them better. We had our ups & downs but we managed to pull through.Then they showed us some pictures of us from sec 1 to sec 4. Some was really funny & i was in 1 of the pictures too. Haha.It really amazed me how much we changed over the 4 years which seemed so short. It seemed like yesterday when i stepped in as a freshman & now we're all leaving. How i wish we could spend another year in whitley[not saying that we should all retain] I guess i took my wonderful secondary life for granted. But it's all too late to regret.My turn came & when i walked up the steps,then to my form teacher Mr Kor to receive my certificate,my footsteps got heavier.I just didn't wanted to leave Whitley. The teachers & friends who painted colours in my life,i just didn't want to part with them yet. But i guess somethings in our life we can't have it forever & we still have to move onwards.That's what makes life so damn ironic. It's so beautiful to let go something we love when we know it's the time to let go & our deadline was today. We had to stop reading,whether we liked it or not & close our fruitful and magical chapter of secondary school life & open up a new 1 chapter. Whether it's going to be poly,Jc or going overseas,we all have the memorable times spent in whitley,friends & teachers in whitley deep in our hearts. Truly priceless & unforgettable. Although we won't be wearing our uniforms as a whitleyans but we're coming back as EX-whitleyans & we will still be categorised as Whitleyans as they say "once a whitleyan,forver a whitleyan" & i'm proud to be 1. Thank you Whitley, for booking a place for us to make friends,play with them,studying with the aids of extra ordinary devoted individuals, my gratitude can't be expressed with words & i'm forever greatful.Although you're going to be renovated,in our minds we will remember the old Whitley.Going to Whitley as a secondary school was my destiny. Making friends & having fun in whitley was my choice. But falling in love with Whitley & treating it like my home was totally out of my control. Well,better get back to mugging.It's my final lap which is lesson than a month away. All the best to everyone!! =D See you all at the examination!! Jia you!!XD[P.S Remember, for combined sciecne stduents, out practical is next thursday-20th of oct.Please don't forget to turn up.]
