This is a joint blog shared by 2 lazy pple - Ciping & Wilbur, who wishes to use each other to maintain the blog. Sadly, Ciping is the more inactive one and Wilbur does most of the work in the end. Feel free to post comments on the tag-board, it feels good to know pple are actually reading and responding to your posts. It gives motivation to write more.
Thinking back about what I thought in sec 2, well, yes i was right. I have good foresight. hehe. Somehow, till now, I feel the friendships forged in my pri school will be more memorable than in my sec school. In fact, i'm probably going to have some kind of reunion with my pri school friends at the end of this year.
Having said that, leaving vs is not exactly something that i'm totally happy about or dying to do. I will definitely in some ways, miss the school, miss the traditions, and of course, miss my friends.
I had a bad lower sec class, and won't miss the friends I made there much. Upper sec life was in contrast, more interesting than my lower sec life. Being in a lit class was interesting. Most people came here because their sciences were weak. I came here although my sciences were strong, because i though lit was interesting. In the end, I got a less-than-interesting subject in lit, but an interesting class nonetheless. In terms of academia, this wasn't the class for me. I was under constant pressure? (dunno wad word to use) for topping the class most of the time. But really, competition in academics was not really present in the class, which I feel, has developed me in other ways. I have learnt how to be a slacker in more ways than one; I have picked up basketball; I have tried and failed in soccer; I have laughed my way through lessons, particularly chemistry.
To say I have not gained much from vs would be wrong, instead, I feel that I have not really reaped as much as I could have from vs. I have neither become very actively involved in school events, nor have I achieved a top position in my CCA or became a prefect. Opportunities were there. I did not go all way out to grab it, because I did not feel the need, and did not feel the desire. After all, I have not really felt the strong 'vs spirit' in me. What I have seen though, is the atmosphere created when a group of rowdy boys congregate together. What I have seen, is guys showing their unrestrained and true selves w/o gals around in class. All kinds of jokes can be made, even in front of teachers; all kinds of funny stuff can be done. Such is the life of 'freedom' without gals in a boys' school. Of course, I have also seen guys tormented by the lack of gals, desperately waiting to get out of vs.
Overall, I would rather leave the school than stay on, if given a choice. Sure, there are things about vs which does make me want to hold back to them, but that doesn't beat the excitement of exploring new horizons. But yet again, since i'm probably going to vjc, there isn't much new horizon for me to explore.
The war on O's start tomorrow. Strange. I seem to keep postponing the day to start. I hope I'll be able to get back my O'lvl slip and tell myself, "I did studied hard for this result," because I feel I don't deserve my prelim results. But of course, God was as good as ever and gave me miracle results in lit and english. I still can't believe that I have 81 for eng and an a2 for lit, but somehow, just somehow, even before the results were released, I had this feeling of assurance that I would do well for both, even though statistical evidence and all other surface evidence pointed otherwise. Yet now, I am still amazed. Yes, I didn't dream of 6 pts.
