This is going to be a sentimental post. I would like all who read this post to read the entire thing. I will tell you the reason at the end of this post. thanks..
2 months have come and gone, and we are currently into the 3rd month of 2006. I have spent two months in jj. Though two months isn't a long time, I already have many wonderful memories stored in my heart enough to last more than my lifetime.
I have a hunch that I am posted to acjc for the next two years. I guess I ought to be thankful, considering the number of "I want to get into ac!!" I said before the pae posting. But the two months in jj has made it difficult for me to leave jj.
Perhaps it is because of the leadership roles I can take up there. There seems to be so many chances to be groomed, to be developed, to go for attachments, etc. Unlike being in other jcs, I know that I can secure much in jj.
Perhaps it is because of Rnd club. I so much want to do research and this club is the fulfillment of my dream.
Or perhaps, it is because of the people. And yes. I think it is.. I just love the people of jj, at least the j1s and a few j2s (I don't know many j2s). They are much more simple (I
do NOT mean simpleton.), unassuming, friendly, warm and genuine. I seldom find a group of friends like this, not to mention such a big group. I don't have to be someone else or do anything to be accepted by them. It tiring really sometimes when one tries to be friendly elsewhere. It can be really exhausting and mindboggling. But here, it's just friendly! I realised how much I probably will miss jj. I crashed ac on tuesday. I was supposed to be thrilled going to the school of my choice, yet I found myself missing jj. Why? It's because of the people in jj. They are what makes up the school. And yes. This post is specially dedicated to my close friends in jj.
My class comprises 20 girls, 4 boys and a civics tutor, Miss Lim!
Miss Lim
Hi Miss Lim! Thanks for being my civics tutor for the past two months. You've been a wonderfully supportive and encouraging teacher. You always want the best for our class and always help us to reason properly so that we will make the choices best for us..I will truly miss such a lovely and understanding teacher as you..
Huiqi, Kimberly (KIM!!!)
Heys kim! Known you for at least a decade isn't it? Remember us in pei hwa - the times we quarrelled really bad? Sometimes I look back at our childhood days and laugh at our childishness. How things have changed since the last two years of crescent and these two months in jj. I am glad that both of us have matured since and become friends. Thanks for being my dear friend and classmate in jj. I can only describe you as endearing but never spoilt. Thanks for listening to me yakking away about that person (you know lah). Thanks for never holding grudges. Thanks for being my friend all this long while.
Emma
Heys emma! Lol! I find you a very interesting person. Yeps! The first time I saw you I seriously thought you were a caucasian or something. And unfortunately, my first impression of you wasn't exactly flattering. But ever since you were in my class (which I somehow or another predicted that you would be), my perception of you has changed drastically. SO BE GLAD!!! HAHA!! Anyway, you are a supportive friend, who will stand up for what you think is right. I like your enthusiasm and let's-get-it-done-now attitude. Keep it up, gurl! I will miss you quite a bit really..
Esther
Hi esther!! OK. I've got your name right, right? hee..I know I spelt your name as ester..whoops sorry! I have been too much chem in the past year. Well, did you know that your name is the title of my favourite book in the bible? =) Anyway, you are quite adorable, with your high yet soft voice. I like your sense of humour. Your funny remarks always come unexpectedly because you seem to be so quiet. Remember just yesterday how you said, "See lah, try to tell lies!!" when I choked while trying to trick you. hmph. haha..all the best to you!
Yuan Xuan (yuan yuan, xuan xuan)
Heys yuan xuan! I always enjoy talking to you. Though you are a very down-to-earth and matter-of-fact person, you are quite funny! You have a calm personality which I like. I am the exact opposite of you, forever yelping around. wahaha..I sorely miss your presence in the class, now that you don't come to school. Do take care now that you've gone out to work. Don't overstrain yourself and let's keep in touch!
Ashley
Heys ashley! You are the first friend I made in the class! Your first comment? "WAAH. YOU WANT TO MAKE ME BLIND ISSIT?" haha..yea..I know my orange pen is BLINDING!!! You make a good class rep but you seem to fall sick quite easily. Think you must be overstraining your body. Must rest more ok? And heys, thanks for confiding in me. Don't worry..even though we will be in different schools, you can still confide in me anytime you want. I'll listen! =) loves ya!
Xiuling (ouyang!!)
Heys xiuling! You are another endearing friend. You seem to be ever laughing and happy..that's the high "I" personality ehs? HIGH I SYNDROME! one day must introduce you to another of my high-i friends..all the 'i's of the world unite!! haha yea..you are hardworking and smart..work hard and you will do really well. And I love your ever-cheery voice and laughter. It does brighten up the whole class. I also miss u loads..whereever you go, God bless you, dear!
To my other classmates, I did not write about you because I don't know you well enough..I do appreciate all of you, (the gurls!!) because you are really sweet and nice..too bad there's not enough time for me to interact with all you..but all the best to all of you!
Now I will move onto my RND clubbers.
You are one of my close groups of friends in jj even though I have known all of you for only a few weeks. It's been fun attending rnd sessions with you all and I can see how closely-knit many of you are..I mean at least the exco. It's fun being with all of you although you are all boys. OK. I know. We are
all boys right? Ah. Someone send them back to nursery to learn their gender differences. ^^ yea..all of you can really make me laugh..alot. I will miss all of you especially alan, yuheng, jestur, yi fan, hao yao and a few others (whoops sorry!! I don't know all of your names!) mainly because all of you are always there lah. And it's always this group whom I meet at the pe porch for the last two weeks. Yea, alan who has all the girls phone numbers (yahh..I thought someone said he didn't call any girls for the first rnd session? why you call me? oh ya. I forgot. I am a
