Hey, it has been a really long time since i last posted. Anyway i think very few people visit this blog in the first place, so i think this is becoming more of a diary than a blog. But anyway i really want to talk about a few things i have experienced throughout this year. Hoping and praying that prefects do not come across this post.

Well, this year was really tiring. i had so much more commitments compared to last year, more problems, more stress etc. I think i learnt much more this year compared to the last 13 years combined. And honestly, i dont know where to start.

But i think one of the most important is my class. It is the class that gave me lots of problems, i was so sick of it that i felt like gorgin my eyes out. Things got worse when Mr Allan Soo left, when the class became more rowdy due to the new form teacher and a monitor which started to slack more than any other monitors in the history of RI (ok i shall not be so bad here). This left me and eng han completely helpless.

But yet, i really enjoyed it. I really like my class. Oh yes. If not for 2I 07, i would have been a much different person now.

And this reason's really simple. 2I 07 isnt your usual inert class. Not even slightly. I can say that it is one of the craziest and funniest class ever, and even our teachers have told us so. 2I isnt the sort of people which put in their MSN nick "you guys rock" or "i love you guys forever". And it's far from being the best class in terms of academics. It is not even what you'd call "cooperative".

It is the sort of class that prioritize fun over anything else. It has the sort of people that cares for each other, yet we just dont say it . It is the sort of class that shouts, quarrel and fights nearly everyday, but hands are shaken and apologies and said within the next 15 minutes. And i prefer such a class over another that is quiet and smart, but is selfish and uncaring. I would pick 2I anytime, anyday.

Even though you guys may not be reading this post, but i must really thank you guys for all the support, esp during my prefect elections. I really need to thank all those who helped me during the video, helping me to paint my banners or just simply giving encouragement. All those simple speeches such as "Don't worry, i will get all my CCA mates to vote for you" and "Even if you dont get in, you will always remain our treasurer" really mean a lot to me. I didnt really expect all these to come from a class like 2I. Thanks a lot guys. Thank you so, so much.

Let's not forget the teachers. All my 6 core subjects teachers came to talk to me, either to encourage me or to console me. Special mention must go to Ms Goh who told all her Sec 4s to vote. Thanks lot teachers.

Honestly, i really wanted to get into RIPB. I felt very satisfied that i have contributed to the school by being the CEC this year, and i wanted to contribute more by joining the RIPB. I really enjoyed doing non-academic work and contributing to the school, and that's why i set my target on RIPB. However, sadly...

Haha. When i got the results, i got this feeling that i have never felt before. It is not the sort of feeling you get when you ask your parents for a video game, and they rejected it. Neither is it the sort of feeling you get when you get back your test results and you failed. Nope, it's a lot different.

You really do not know how to react to it, it is just the sense of disappointment. You just get the feeling that sometimes life isnt that fair. But i am not meaning that the elects are not deserving of their posts. Nope, i just simply felt disappointed. I was really lost for actions. That night i just lay on my bed and stoned for 3 hours. The thought of working with friends such as Nigel, Gregory, Daron, Gifford, KaiLun, Benjamin etc was gone.

But I have gotten over this. Anyway, congrats to the elects, even though i hope prefects do not read this. Life's gotta move on, there's nothing i can do to change the fact in the first place. Lol...

I am just a bit lost from here, Where do I go? People always say "there lots of leadership opportunities". Yup, but the problem is that i am not exactly the easiest person to get noticed by people (haha), so i'm not sure if i can be the CEC for next year. Futhermore i have just joined Raffles Voices, so i am still trying to catch up, even though i skip sessions due to random things like chalet and admin work.

I'd be more than happy to join those comm that help the RIPB, but i hope that there are more places for me to contribute.

Also i have just realised that i have just posted the longest post ever, and i am quite proud of it. Anyway it's quite late now, so see ya guys!
