Well..... Prepare for pictures with horrible contrasts on HAHA

Okay.

I vaguely remember one of my cousins telling me when I was in Sec 2. All Marists will dislike the school up till the final days till we graduate and we will suddenly feel all our pent up feelings . I didn't understand why until recently.

What he said was totally spot on

Yesterday was the final official school day of my life as a student in Maris Stella High School. I may have been waiting for the day that I could cut off all my ties with this school since 2005 when I was still wearing shorts for my uniform.

But am I really now? Am I really feeling all the jubilation that I might have imagined I would have felt on that day as I thought I would be 4 years ago?

I do not know if it's just our school's culture or something, but it was most likely due to our senior batches that instilled into us that, Marists MUST not like Maris Stella High School. No matter what positive feelings we might have had towards the school, except for maybe a select few who show school spirit with utmost gusto, it was undoubtedly suppressed by what we perceived as mandatory. Having certain animosity towards the school and trying to look past it's good points and criticising it at every tiny opportunity.

Even now I may even want to "blame" my good feelings towards the school on that now that it was now all officially over it's finally lit the last signal fire towards the oncoming 'O' Levels.

But no

If not for all the interesting friends that can mostly likely only be able to be moulded in our unique environment and single-gender status
This negates the "No Girls" thing to a certain extent)

Insane and totally inane teachers like Mr Wong (and basically the entire humanities department) whose jokes would totally not work when females are around HAHA

The other side of teachers would definitely be Miss Jennifer Goh. Though her papers turn your hair white, she never fails to make Physics as direct and understandable as possible. Well, she will just fail you(r papers)

Sec 4D Class of 2008, basically it was an easy transition for me in Sec 3, since more or less more than a third of the class 2A followed me up to 3D, but still, more friends were made and we can really learn a lot from each and every one of us. Full of personality and individuality and humour. Maybe a little too much, the only thing we can tone down on would definitely be our slackiness HAHA

Lastly for me, would be NPCC, though sometimes I really felt like quitting in Sec 1, I just sucked it up and pushed on. The camps and the stupid jokes with my squadmates, hard to forget, like ever.

But I would definitely like to give a 2-sided view of my life in Maris Stella. Time to put some of my SS skills to use :D

I am pretty sure everyone around me knows that I don't really hate any of my teachers, just that I love to make fun of them. BUT. Everyone around me would also know that I hold certain hate and grudges against one particular teacher....... I do not know whether it's entirely warranted or not, but I have always had negative feelings towards her ever since last year and while she might not be taking us this year, the feelings fail to subside. But of course, by next year, I have to keep my grudges in check. Learn to forgive and forget. I must do that

Okay. Today

Woke up early today, standard time. 6 something. My parents fetched me over to the National Library where I would have been studying. Around 8 I got there (punctual I might add) and went to the study lounge where a certain goldfish realised that she it opens at 9..... And we were the first few people there...... In a silent.... Library (okay that's dumb). I need to make zombie stories out of this

Started at 8 outside the place before going in at 9. Met some of my friends from 4C there too by complete coincidence so our group took up and entire stretch of tables HAHA. Apparently, Marists were popping up everywhere in the National Library. Guess we were all feeling the breath of the encroaching demon.

Did quite a bit of work there, like 4 full (Paper 1 AND Paper 2s) Physics papers and 2 Maths Chapters from the textbooks. The Physics seemed kind of difficult, especially the XinMin Paper..... Until Keith and I realised that.... Their values were so totally off that a printing error must have happened..... Also the Data-Based set of notes which was nutty. The TKSS prelim 2 paper which I already did, which was strangely too easy, even turned up there, the question on the Eco thingymajiggy. THE ANSWER THEY GAVE US TODAY WAS SO WRONG! I have the TKSS answer softcopy thingy and they had my answer while the answer in out booklet was so off it wasn't even funny.

Went to Absolute Comics during lunch, looking for The Walking Dead Volume 3. Which was sold out.... And stock is coming tomorrow :D Only ONE book...... Which I already paid for of course :D

Random Notes:

I so need a full spread of this. Did I mention I was going to get a full sized "300" poster to decorate my room HAHA

Come Spring 2009.......... I am waiting for Takamura vs Hawk and Date vs Martinez.. ANIMATED!

Class Photos. Formal

Class Photos. Informal
I failed at slapping SS's forehead this year. DAMMIT
Mark Koh's acting cute (Yes I am looking at you)

Class Signatures. Another fail moment
So I got the large pictures. That are laminated.... With my only cardboard one with my individual photo and I didn't realise a permanent marker wouldn't smudge hmm. So me and Keith had to share one marker and I only had half an hour left.....
I MISSED OUT SHINY MAN'S AUTOGRAPH!

I know I look totally dazed and stoned. Must have been out of it that day HAHA
