Countdown

I have been feeling exceptionally sentimental the past days. All good things have to come to an end isnt it? Memories is what we bring along with us as we advance forward. Dempsey is going, we are leaving SJI. 2006 and 2007 have been the best years in my entire 16 years. These years are my growing years and it s when i experience all kinds of emotions, incidents that help my maturity. Prelims were bad, but i ve learnt a lot from this experience. It helped me to be stronger and not collapse under pressure and depression. I learnt to accept challenges and failures as they are part and parcel of life. Just accept reality and move on. I would like to thank a few people who have helped me through this difficult period of post prelims. I was genuinely sad but these people really pushed me on and look forward.

Special thanks to friends especially reuben and ying lun. Reuben has been my closest friend and my truest one even though he failed the test! haha. The jokes we cracked, lamed and crapped around was really fun. He never failed to reply to all my crappy messages and sometimes the few messages of encouragement really picked me up. thanks brudder! And to ying lun who i believe will be a very successful person in future. He works hard and strives to excel in every aspect which is worth looking up to. And i admire the way he recovered from his PSLE and improved tremendously in his academic work. Some how there s a magnet pulling him down to earth and even recent results never made him complacent. Thanks ying lun, you ve been an inspiration.

Also, thanks to my father who did not blame me and screw me for my prelims. Instead, he encouraged me and told me the first 5 weeks doesnt matter, it s the 2 years that s important. If not for his words, i would have really broken down. Lastly, to Mr Lim Meng Chye. I have regarded him as the best teacher i ever come across. He teaches in layman tone to make us understand better, and his wicked sense of humour spices up lessons at the same time make us interested in the topic. He gave me a pat on the back that acknowledge my efforts. The amount of effort i put in wasnt affirmed until this man came and give me that glimpse of hope. Human relations is that important, up and downs in life are normal, i hope this exam wouldnt be a down...
