3 Years!!!!

3 years of Polytechnic life sailed through already. Right now, along with everyone, I'm waiting for the results to come in during March 22nd, and further notifications regarding the graduation ceremony.

It was a good three years. To me, I've gained a lot of things. But also, I've lost quite a bit. Equivalent exchange, I guess?

Year 1:
New class, new beginnings, new friends. I tried my best to make friends in Polytechnic, because my Secondary School life was miserable with little friends. As a result, I think I might have tried too hard. People didn't like it because I was overenthusiastic, and so I started to change myself bit by bit. It was for the better, I guess, but the first year was really when I underwent soul searching, and trying to understand people as well as dealing with them. I won't say I mastered the act completely, but I managed to get the basic points down.

I joined the Skates Club too, and engaged in a hobby I would never forgo. Although I UNOFFICIALLY quit at the end of the year, the skater in me is still here. It was also there that I experienced my only camp in SP. It was a great experience, because (I know this sounds pathetic), it's like one of the few camps I ever participated in all of my school years. I managed to know some friends, like Sam, Noelle, Yun... friends that I probably will seldom meet up again anytime sooner. But it was great knowing you guys.

Year 1 passed with me losing some naivety, but with newfound social knowledge. Sometimes, I wonder if I should keep some of the naivety?

Year 2:
Boy oh boy, this is the most impactful year out of my 3 years? As I signed up for the Teaching Factory option, I would reunite with some old classmates, and knew some new ones. I regretted knowing a scab, whom I thought was a good friend. In the end, all he did was care about himself and I understood that not every friend will return equal respect to you. So a lesson learnt about dealing with people. However, I also managed to make a few friends whom I am sure will remain in my life for quite a long time. So yeah, it was still fruitful. Ernest, Jonathan, Garry and Chi Kit, I'm talking about you guys.

Other from classes, the other community in school I joined was the SP ACERs. It was a club I never regretted joining. New friends made that in the end, became my good friends. We underwent several events, of which Escapade was the most amazing. I got to know Zack, Sen Rong, Cheryn, Madelyn... and also Escapade's entire Inspira 2009 gang. Through Escapade, I also managed to know Sophia, who is my "monster daughter", and "send" her into SP.

It was a year with ups and downs. I daresay that it was indeed a year that was like a wave.

Year 3:
Dramatic, really extremely dramatic, haha. Ok, firstly, at the start of the third year, me and Haikal organised the SP ACER junior training camp. The camp was successful, and I once again made many new friends. While that happened, old friends also rebonded, and gotten closer. I got to know quite a few awesome people as well.

Escapade 2010 was also a bitch. Though 2009 was more fun, 2010 was also peppy, in a sense that we managed to do our best and achieve what we want. Everyone was happy at the end, albeit tired.

Other from all that, the second semester, consisting of the TF module, had me, Ern, Jonathan, Garry, Chi Kit and Vishinu in one project centre. We became great friends, and made an effort to understand one another. I was guilty at being incompetent during a joint project with Garry, so I would like to thank this chance to thank him, and also to apologize to him.

The final semester was as I said, dramatic, as I fell in love. It was purely one sided, and I blame myself for not exerting enough effort due to cowardice. I gave up in the end, with the understanding that it was fully my fault. Friends like Zack and Suxann was really key people in cheering me up back then. It took a while, but I got back on my feet. And once again, it was an incident that matured me.


I wish to thank all the friends that known me, met me, even had just one single conversation with me throughout these three years. It's a little hard to list all of your names, but trust me, I value every single meetings I had with every single one of you. You've all been a major part of my life. SP will forever remain as the most memorable three years in my life which I will carry with me.

Thank you, and also, though I must say it is regretful, Goodbye.
