This break thought me a few lessons, like how I must always be prepared. How I need to be optimistic all the time. How I must take time to enjoy the things around me and how I need to take every second to count. It sounds like someone passed away, well except for Jess in my dream, no one I know died. It is just a lot of saying goodbyes all around.
Firstly, on the last week of school (well who could have believe I survived semester 1), we said goodbye to our classmates. W45J is really a pretty cool class. We had lots of up and down, but we had fun. There bound to be memories to last a life time. Friday, we could say that is like our official farewell. We said our goodbyes to few classmates. On Saturday, I had to say goodbye to my room.

Monday, another goodbye to some of our classmates, and finally on Tuesday, last day of school, it is really the final goodbye. I mean sure we were planning to meet up during the holidays, we plan to have bbq but really, the outings will be different than when we are in class. With our spoilt door and the spoilt projector, our class is indeed unique. We were supposed to go to out for dinner, but honestly I have other things on my mind. Like for the fact, I need to go back to my mom’s or meeting up with Jess. So in the end, that’s it, our goodbye.
Thursday on the 14 of August, we had our belated Our Day Party. Only Pat managed to miss it out by forgetting to bring her phone to Singapore. Anyway, we had fun, seeing Sop mad for not getting a shorter hair cut. Zah being mad at Jess for saying she is ‘fully developed’. A bunch of craps I tell you, but I guessed that is what we are. We went to PP to get buy food. So, spent the whole day in Giant getting junk and ingredients to make spaghetti. Cab back to Jess house and then we just chilled. Throughout the whole day, what we did was watched FRIENDS and eat chips and dips. Lame huh? But I guessed we were comfortable in our own silence and laughter.
Ate ate ate. Drank drank drank. Watched watched watched.
Zah went home while I and Sop stayed over. Dion and Yihui came over. Chris soon followed. Then we got bored. In the end, they went home, while I and Sop, more of Sop used the macbook to make me watch youtube. Jess took a super late shower, at like 4am, then after, she can’t take it and went to sleep. Sop followed after. After watching Love Guru, I decided to take a nap too. It was nearly 7. At 8 Jess woke me up. Oh well! It was time for us to send her off to the airport. We met up with Chris there and sat at Starbucks drinking lattes. After hugs and goodbyes, Jess left.
Friday, finally Pat contacted me. Then we decided to meet up with her. Spent the day eating ice cream at Swensens, looked for books at Popular (Sop still has a lot of vouchers left), walked the long distance to my mom’s, taking neoprints in Cine, eating dinner at MOS. After a million and one pictures on Pat’s camera, we decided to go home. Sop went home taking bus, while Pat sent me off in a taxi. The queue was super long. We waited for ages. The only time we moved forward was because people decided to fall back and booked cab instead. After, I have-no-idea how many hours later, we were first in line. Wheu! Goodbye to Pat.
And we say hello to Edward, the guy who brought flood to Singapore, I mean partial rain. I left home at 8, then go airport with Michelle to wait for Ed’s plane to arrive which is at 1am. I dragged and begged Mich to come. I mean, I don’t want to wait at the airport alone. It will be so lonely. So the day went like this, I mean the night. Talked to Mich bout everything, she just got a new job and she was pretty much stressing bout the upcoming exams. Then Ed came, and we talked some more. Then we called up people, such as Ivan and William, ‘cept only Ivan was awake. I called Tzu hao, and he was like, “It’s 201 in the morning, may I know why you are calling me?” Man, I should have be all panicky and told him that I am in a great danger or something, but I am not bad, and I just gave the phone to Ed.
Then we went to Geylang to eat the beef horfun. Meet up with Ivan, then went to eat the tauhui. Sent Mich home to get her books, bye to Ivan, then we went to Katong to eat some more. Ed met up with his secondary friend, I can’t remember his name. Anyway, I was so out of the conversations. All they talked about is TKS life.
Anyway, we went to the ECP. The guys brought drinks while we girls drink water, see I am a good girl. Then we just sat there till the guy has to go school. I could went back home, but I decided to go back to airport. Chilled at Starbucks again, before we say goodbye to Ed. Man, I am so loving Green Tea Latte.
Went back to my mom’s, I slept for a bit then meet Raissa at Orchard. Giggled all the way home, man I missed that girl.
Oma and Jeanne came next.
Dinner at long beach which the whole family attended, and we, the kids, took one table all to ourselves. This is what family dinner is supposed to be.
Lunch at Paragon.
And my days are spent mostly between Buildings of Orchard.
Ica made me learnt everything I can. It was pretty much do this and do that. Don’t forget to do this and next time must remember this. I was like absorbing everything I can. I guessed this is what a personal assistance must feel like, except, my workload is shared between me and Tiany. So I don’t have it that badly. Buy this buy that, move this move that, give this to whomever, reply to whatever mails, basically everything. At the same time, when I have the free time, I will spend it reading. I had been putting reading for so long. Then there will be the conference, which you have no choice but to pay attention, even when you don’t understanding anything.
Oh, the meeting with Aunt Lisa’s Michelle. Man, that’s girl’s cool. She’s 20 in college, and she is world widely knowledgeable. She can talk about fashion, the world (well, she had travel to many countries), politics (can you believe it?), and basically anything. Plus she don’t look don’t on us. I know I am like soon to be only a year younger than her, but I feel so childish sitting beside her. Suddenly I feel like I was 15. Even Rais know more stuff than me.
So that is when I decided to be worldlier and more mature, physically and all.
Kind of unexpected that Reyner leaving on Thusday. Oh well.
So that was why I missed out on my class bbq, I have one final dinner with him.
We sort of have a crying ceremony.
Goodbye to Reyner and hello to Pat again. Yeah. She came back for Teachers’ day celebration. So we meet up at Brd. I thought we were supposed to meet at 11, but Sop said 10. Ok, honestly I don’t know. Then at Brd, met a few people. Called Zah out from the hall, and I made all my friends and teachers who once taught me to sign on my year book. Oh ya, I collected my yearbook as well as my testimonial. Sweet words from Ms Tan.
Spent a lot of time going around to teachers, greeting them and all. Zah was like waiting impatiently for us. Sop in the end too. Coz me and Pat, we just really go to every teacher. And Ms Mastura kind of invited us for this year prom which will be held in the Singapore Flyers. How unfair is that? So anybody want to crash the prom, tell me. We go together, 10 of us, so we’ll get one table.
Then went Suntec for buffet. Hehe, Jess you missed out all the fun. We had some leftover food, and so convenient, Pat’s friend came in the door, and she begged him to take the food. Haha, so we are cleared, and we went Orchard.
In the end Sop got mad, and took off, while we met up with William, Pat friend. Why are so many people name William? Then, we took more neoprints. Then we say farewell to Pat.
The next day we say farewell to Raissa and ica.
Then meet up with Pat in PP on Sunday for the last time. Next time we’ll meet will be one year and a half later. Next winter.
Haiz.
Now, school will start in a few hours time, I will say hello to my ex-classmates I saw them around in campus, and I will say hello to my new classmates. Sadly, I will say goodbye to Oma and Jeanne as they will be leaving tomorrow.
See, that is a summary of my semester break.
