Journey of Youth

It has been months since i last blog. Blogging isn't my regular thing ever since i was in secondary 3, as it brings uneasy memories back then. However, I kinda regretting it for not blogging, or jotting down because all these creates into a virtual memory. Now they are only being processed it in my brain for as long as i can think. I've just ended my poly life, and embarking my NS life. a new journey. However, lets take back to where my youth was. As much as i could remember during my secondary school days
Every time, we are being told to strive, aim for your goals. But exactly, what are your goals?

13.
A new Start of journey, starting of new friendship
Totally new to a brand new environment. Going to school isn't just a 5 minutes’ walk like how i did when im in primary school. My life beings 5.30am and catching the bus at 6am. On the first few days going to school, I've always see these 3 girls that board the bus, also seemed to be chatting happily and turned out to be Xinwei, Jasmine, and Nicole which became my friends at the later part of my secondary school life. Life's amazing uh?
I Joined NP as my CCA. At that time, i made friends with Darren, Cheng Kiat, Raphael, XinWei, Jasmine, Sheng Xiang (classmate).  It was enjoyable at the start, but time goes, i just felt alittle inferior. At the later half, i tried to pick up myself.
I turned into a study freak. I remembered i first started studying sciences, and there on with all the subject. Achieving top in the whole level for the first semester was my proudest moment never i can think of. I remembered on every Wednesday, we have some English enrichment class hence, with my sec 1 clique, we'll always run to rivervale mall and take away KFC and head to Ivan’s house for lunch, playing xbox talking crap and later head back to school for that enrichment class. These little moments brings lot of laughter though it lasted shortly. Also, i remembered, i had a first crush that didn't last long. Somewhere from April-June if i could recall.
At the end of the year, was selected a as prefect, and was a little reluctant, and back then Mr Wu who was the in charged caught my attention as i sighed. Immediately, after the short briefing, he told be to stay back and had a short chat while walking from the hall way. As far as i could recalled, he questioned, ' Why you do not want to join?' or something like that. I just told him, i wasn't ready as i know how a prefect life was, as i was a prefect in primary school. In the end, i decided to go for the prefect workshop induction camp, where made friends with YeeZheng, Xinwei, KarWong and some more... 
In December, i was selected to be in the secondary 1 orientation camp as OGL, i was so excited as when i was in sec 1 for my OC, I’ve wanted to be 'like my seniors, leading the juniors.'

The turbulent year.
I started contacting the girl somewhere around April, and became like of close friends. I usually go school with Shuhao, Darren, Chengkiat, where i'd text them 'IM AT THE CONDO LIAO'  lol. Doing prefect duty in the school hall for morning assembly. And we used to say, ‘ wo men hao xiang kan yang, nui’ which means like chasing cows and goats in the farmlands. Attending NP more regularly, trying to be more committed.
At that same year, unofficially together with that girl. Handling r/s for the very first time. I remembered that very night. Inexperienced I was. Rivalry. Jealousy. Studies turned to a downfall, failed math, Chinese, borderline passed my geography.  At the second half of the year, became close to CCA mates, Staying back in school to ‘study’, which turned out to play Frisbee, volleyball. Broke window panels, climbed on overhead bridge.
Got to POA, hist class for sec 3, 3n4, was little upset. Appealed to geog, dnt and ended in 3n1, and my clique starts from there on. Got to know jonathan, yensuan, began to hang out with them occasionally. As mentioned, being unofficially together, it hits a rocky state.

15.
Confusion, twist year.
Year 3 started off normal, carrying out prefect duties, I was flag raiser. Every morning, going to the general office to collect the state and school flags. Studies continue to drop drastically, math failed with a 9/25. Used to have negative thoughts everyday. Got screwed by Mr Chong, ran round the quadtrangle as punishment. Stayed back in school daily till 5-6pm just to play volleyball with Jonathan, Jennifer, guowan, and the other sec 4NAs. Unofficially formed a study group with jonathan, guowan, jiejia, kaiwen, and somemore.
 Whole june holidays was filled with NP stuffs, camp, MLTC. At the start of july, we were training for GOH. Tough, but the end result was fulfilling and the sense of pride when we stood with our rifles with hundreds of pairs of eyes looking at us.
Came around august, I managed to get myself up.
One day, an opportunity came, delayed. Regretted.
Being involved in the Student Leaders’ Camp at Saint Johns Island was an Eye opener, as everything wasn’t meant to go along with our nature. We had to pour sulphur so as snakes do not enter in to the bunks, working against all nature like rain, heat.  
Selected to go for the Japan Exchange programme to Fukuoka, Nagasaki.
Get the know Aries, Nicole, Jinwah, slyvia through guowan.
Secondary 3 ended at a short note.

16.
Bonding year.
Stepped down from CCA, and student leader, became more bonded with the classmates, doing shity stuff in the class, till upset form teacher. Hence, I was being chosen to replace innkiat as vice chairman of the class. WTF like that also can? Going to school was fun not because I like to study but the teachers and friends. I remembered, I got scolded from Jimmy Quek, and chased out of the class. Really? WTF? N level DNT added stress. Imitating our math Teacher was our favourite thing. “clock clock…YOU GUYS ARE EASILY AMUSED”. Geography teacher changed to Angeline Chew. Skipped her first remedial lesson by delaying my revision with my Chinese teacher. H1N1 comes, aircons have to be switched off, and we suffocated in the blardy computer lab WITHOUT aircon. The only time where I can hao lian is where the whole class failed milestone and I passed with 31/50 HEHEHEH!
Blasting retro songs from the speakers in the class.
Passed N levels with 9 points!


17.
Back to PSS.
Passing N level, meant that it’d be O levels. Year started with a hectic start. Just the first week, we were down with assignments and homework. Remedial lessons every day. 5n1 got famous with the wedgie thing. Form teacher flared up, who 3hours got scolded. Classmates started playing soccer in class, destruction to the cabinet, ceiling and windows. DNT was fun, especially during the june holidays where we have to go back to complete our practical artefacts.
During the 3rd term around july onwards, came especially close with yen suan, wendy, hong ming, always gossiping. Every Saturday will definitely hang out ‘STUDY’ that turned out to have desserts at cafe cartel due to their after 9pm 50% discounts.
During lessons, we would write rubbish. I remembered once for geography the qn asked, ‘How are rivers formed or something’. I just wrote ‘god made it this way’. On the mischievous side, about half the class did not turn up for school at the last week of school. We did not really see the point as we were just doing revision papers, if there were teacher supervising, I wouldn’t mind.
