Happy 18th Birthday
Evangeline dear!
It's my last day as a YJcian.It should be a happy thing to me since i've always been dying to get out of the tormenting school life.But it's actually a mixed-feeling thing.I'm feeling uncertain and insecure to leave all the wonderful tutors.I'm feeling very down because i'll be separated from the rest of 203.But,i'm glad and proud to say that 203 had stuck together through the last day and took tonnes of pictures.In everyone's heart,i believe,there's this unwillingness to separate from each other.
The 'grand' graduation ceremony started in the morning at the auditorium.Tears welled in my eyes as soon as the tutors entered the auditorium from the 2nd level.I was very touched and woke up to my senses that i would not see them so often again.Mr Wong gave an interesting and thought-provoking speech.He spoke of our future and make us realise the importance of doing certain stuffs.He made the speech very engaging and for the first time,we laughed at his jokes -which were for once not-so-lame.203 cheered for him as he went on stage for his speech.203 also cheered for him when he told us that we were his favourites and often driving him crazy and mad.203 love him that much!
At the end of the ceremony,we sanged the school song for the last time.We sang with pride and dignity,and it was loud and boisterous.Almost all of us sang it so loud for the first time in our JC years.
203 don't end our last day together just like that.We went back to our nest(A3-05) for the final celebration of birthdays and also took lots of photos with each other there!What have i got to say?I have the best teachers and classmates of my 2 years in YJC.I found my true friends and talented people there.

Which is the best exchange? Freedom for fame or Love for fame?Most of the times,when one becomes famous,one tends to lose the freedom one used to have.One will start losing the ability to totally fall in love with another person,and also,will lose the ability to do the things that one like.It's just a tough choice to choose?Is it really that important to be the centre of attention in everyone's world and losing your own little joy when you get to do the things you want to?
There is more to what we want to get on the surface,but sometimes,people don't see the underlying problems that follows with what we call-SUCCESS.
It's just one more week before we bid farewell forever to the classroom setting we have.It's the last time we share the joy of having your close friends with you during boring lessons.It's the last time we hear the teachers' nagging and feel their care.It is the last time you get to be spoonfed with answers.
Why can't some people just bear with the weaknesses of others for another week to go?We've put in so much efforts to build upon a strong relationship between each other,we took so long to build up the trust.Why can't these things just stay like that till end of next week to put a beautiful ending to our JC life?
Everyone has their own point of weaknesses.It is not a fault that one makes mistakes,but chances have to be given to them to prove that they will change.When they are making the effort to change,do not deny them of the opportunity nor put them down.
We start our life with zero thing.Through the battling against obstacles and diligence,we gain lots of things;love,care,happiness,success,materials.When our time comes,we leave the world again with zero thing.
"It does not matter what we start with,neither does it matter what we end up with.The most important thing is to feel the joy of the process."
It is not a mistake that brings people together.It is not coincidence that brings us as a class,neither it is a chance that binds us as friends.It is fate that let us meet and make us strong as one.
To the SOMEONEs out there.Think about it,is it worth to leave your JC life with such an ending?What you have took so long to build upon is being ruined at your own hands.It is such a shame.To forgive or not to,is entirely your own choice.It is not up to a third party to make any decisions.But as one of onlookers,i just don't wish you to regret in the later part of your life when you really lose that someone and never get a chance to tell the person why you dislike him/her.
