the alternative path din seem dat bad after all...
HahAa~ This photo was taken only yesterday (22.02.05). Those who know me must be thinking "WHAT THE HECK? HAVEN'T YOU FINISHED SCHOOL? AND WHY ARE YOU IN AC UNIFORM?" ^.^ Well, it really is me and xinyi in AC uniform and we crashed AC yesterday. Haha.. she invited and i accepted. Well, those who don't know Xinyi.. esp those who know me in the earlier years of my life.. She's my best pal!!! We got to know each other in AC.. n since then, been great pals till today. Though it's only been about 2 years into our friendship, I feel as though i know her for years. Haha..
First of all, i wanted to crash AC coz i haven't been there in ages. I love the school a lot.. and going back there was really exciting for me. However, my mum was really sceptical about me crashing the school that she freaked out in the morning when i left the house in the uniform. She said, "A levels coming out next week.. I don't want you to get into trouble with MOE and do you know it is illegal to pretend to be a student from AC?" hAHA.. she caused me to freak out too. The MRT train ride was extremely aggravating for me and the 1st AC person i saw was Shaun Kok (AISS junior)! I kinda panicked coz i was really afraid of getting into unnecessary questioning and trouble. Then there was assembly, and XY and i posed as J2s. And the 1st time for 2005, we sang the national anthem and said the pledge. Gosh.. i miss being a student!
Touring around AC and reminiscing the days of 1st 3 months was really great. I really remembered the fun times i had with my class 1SB6 (Jan-Mar)'2003 and the craziness of orientation. Thoughts like, "what would have happened if i had stayed on?" and "would i have been happier?". What i actually miss most about AC was the monday chapel and also the morning devotions. Mrs Valerie Wilson (VP of AC) gave a devotion on Decision Making. She actually wished all those getting their A level results all the best and that she prayed that God will help us make good decisions after getting our As. I don't know why, but i felt really happy when she said so.
Going back to AC was like closing the book of all my "what if?" questions. Like "what if i had stayed in AC? what if i had gotten into student council? what if i had just persisted with Kelvyna Chan and pushed my way through enrolment? what if i had to wake up every morning at 5.30am, would i have survived studying for As?" I became thankful for the good experience i had in 1st 3 months and for the friends i have made in AC. I became thankful for Yj coz it allowed me to be in basketball team, allowed me to obtain my wish of going to National Top 4, allowed me to go to OBS, allowed me to know so many different friends and allowed me to sleep a little more each day by waking up at 6.30. I became so thankful that the pain and disappointment i had towards myself, my decisions, my O levels and my life, all slowly began to ease away.
Going to Temasek Poly's open house with Eunice also made me stop thinking of "what if i had gone to poly? would i still be who i am today? what sort of person would i be?". The most important thing that i realised was that, i have already gone down a certain path and it was no point looking back and even regretting. We would never know what would happen if we had gone the other route but most importantly is that we learn from our experiences of today. Nobody can tell what would happen if we had gone another way, we can only speculate. Even if we speculate, it may not be true and accurate at all.
The neoprint which we took is a way of remembering these things and that I truly enjoyed myself yesterday as it really made me wake up and realise all these lessons.
Oh ya, yesterday i bumped into a friend whom i haven't seen since Oct 2004. I was surprised to see him because it was in the middle of a zebra crossing of Orchard and he knows i'm from YJ. haha~ Felt so bad that i seemed like a "traitor". =P Anyway, it was surprising because 1. i was just talking about him to Xinyi just before i met him and that she was the 1st friend of mine who actually got to be formally introduced to him. Well, just to let you people know.. he's the person whom i wrote the poem i posted earlier. ^.^
Hahaha....... (not funny actually.. it's kinda hurting inside) but i have to move on.
*sMiLeZzz*
Take care and God Bless. *queen pat*
