Reminiscence
Tuesday, October 20, 2009
Haven't you all remembered times you were in pri school and did those silly things which you never thought you would(now)?
But, when you look back in your life, you realise these silly things were once part of the most memorable things and possibly things that made your pri schl days?

Back when i was in Pri school, in P6, the girls in my class had this craze with AUTOGRAPH BOOKS. and so, i was looking at it one day and i realised how much we've all changed. Our thinking, our attitude, our appearance.. Time can really make all that happen. it really makes a difference in someone's life.

I let my teachers write in my autograph book and there were 4 teachers who wrote in there. Mrs Sarah Lee(Music teacher in p6), Mrs Tan-Lim Hong Chin(Maths teacher in p6) and Ms Yeo Khee Huan(English and Science teacher in p6) and lastly, Mrs Ng(FORM teacher in p5).

Mrs Sarah Lee said,(i'm typing it briefly) I hope we have given you valuable memories and wish you great friendships in future.

Mrs Tan said, "No person who in enthusisastic about work has anything to fear from life"--Samuel Goldwyn. So true, but yet even though i'm somewhat enthusiastic about work, i have so much to fear in life.

Mrs Ng just said," it was really fun teaching you last year! really great! (: "

Last but not least, Ms Yeo's words. (I'm typing everything out based on memory!)
She wrote there," Dear Rose, were there moments when you felt like making a comment or showing an idea? Yet, you kept quiet. I wish you had for i'm sure it was something worthwhile to listen to. You never know what you can acheive until you try. You will try in future, won't you?
Best Wishes, Ms Yeo, Holy Innocents' Primary."

This was the one that could caused swelling in my eyes. It's so true. But up till now, i've never really been trying hard enough, i think.

Take for example, my best friend, zhiqi who is now in chung cheng high(main). She takes up triple science in school and though she isn't one of the smartest kids in pri school back then, she is now the top student in her class! :D We still contact each other and goes back to H.I.P.S to visit our teachers, together. (:


People say when you grow older, you tend to grow out of your childishness. I would agree to some extent. Cos' till this day, I'm not afraid to say i can still be quite childish. haha. but whatever it is, time made that difference.
For me, when i looked back at my primary school photos, you can see the change in me. Though i am still wearing spectacles(fyi, i've wore that since i was 2 and a half years old), you could see the different(or same) me in those pictures. I wouldnt put them up here because it is just too ugly x.X haha.

But what i really want to say is that, when times changes, people will naturally change with time. the greatest change in me is not how i look but how i think. in the past, back when i was in pri school, i didn't see the need in working hard for my results. Though i was disappointed in my results most of the time during my P6 year, i was still quite playful. Actually, i wasn't playful, i just sleep alot XD LOL. :D
So i ended up getting 233 in PSLE, which was in fact, one of the lowest in 6R7. SERIOUSLY.
cos' the other classmates went into top schools like RI, RGS, St Nicks etc... so i was a bit dejected. but nevertheless, i didn't work hard enough when i came up to Secondary 1.

In Sec 1, i liked Maths the most. ( did i say i've always disliked Maths in Pri schl?) i vividly remember me getting 82 marks in the first Common test and Isabella Poh was the highest in class. :D I also remembered my parents going to the PTM and then they were like saying my maths in pri school wasn't that good and Miss Cheryl Ng was kind of surprised to hear that.
But otherwise, my other subejcts were pretty much, sucky. And on the last day of school, we took a class photo outside our 1E classroom with her, those were the good times (:
And, on that year, my aunt suddenly told me that she was going to be in Hong Kong teaching for 2 years or so. I could not help feeling sad about it. IT was also then that i realised i could no longer depend on others to help to bring my grades up, i had to count on myself.

So, in sec 2, i began to work really hard for my tests and exams in all subjects. I even wrote about Miss Cheryl Ng in my chinese composition which was published in the Chrysalis in this year's edition. Some of them know. But I'm not guessing a lot of them read it. Ms Hani came to be my form teacher, teaching me science. I began to understand science a little better that year and in common test 2, i finally received my A1 for science. From a C5 in the beginning of the year, you know? Electricity was that chapter i can score well (: But throughout that year, there've been many downs and little ups. I've got great frinedship but due to the overwheming pressure i gave myself, i cried. MANY TIMES>< and then, that was the time i realised, i cannot give myself too much pressure already.

Enough of that. In the Malacca trip, i guess 2E bonded more, in a way (: well, i really missed those moments i had with them ((: i still remembered how angry i was when i received the posting of the class, you know? i think that time when i first knew i was going to what class was at anchorvale cc, cos we were practicing for apologise again. LOL.

And i remembered i went to stay at Fairmount somewhere at the end of year and then it was nearing christmas that time, then initially wanted to meet up with ching yee but her parents dont let her go. In the end she sneak out to meet me leh! :D at the end, i hurriedly bought her her chirstmas present. We had a nice time just walking around and eating Ben and Jerry's ice cream ((: it was really fun having her around and we talked and chat all afternoon. we even made a keychain for the both of us! (: "Rose and Ching Yee with love" was what was carved on it! I ♥ her many many!

Now, coming up to secondary 3, i promised not to give myself too much pressure. But, history's 1st common test was sorta disaster. cos i cried. LOL. and i dont think i cried again until when i received back my MYE results. But as compared to last year, it was very little. BUt i guess things will be worse tmr when i get back my results. Though i hope for the better, i know i never really do well for my papers this time round? But i really want my As!!!
anyway, many things happened and i dont wish to say anything about it. Have tried a little harder to remain positive about life and i guess i'm doing a pretty good job on that until now? LOL. But i really miss all the good old days i had with many people. (:

Well, let's talk about today. had this really mini 2E gathering. well, it was really a blast (: took a lot of photos with Huimin and Louisa. okay, not exactly a lot. Went to Wild Wild Wet and now i look like a rudolf with a super red burnt nose. and my cheeks are burnt too. it was really nice being around them. Anyway, i was super lucky today! cos the side of my specs is very loose so it came off very easily. and the worse thing was it actually dropped into the waters today! And then all 3 of us were deperately trying to find it but to no avail. Then after i wanted to give up on finding it, this guy who's yougner than me, said Excuse Me. Then i turned around and he handed me something. The side of my specs! i was like THANK YOU! :D If not for him, i tell you i really cannot see things.
After WWW, bathed and ate. Went to Pasir Ris Park. There, we took pictures la. HEHE.
wanted to go there and scream but in the end, we went to the playground. While walking there, we were all sweating badly, especially me. Then we saw Yanting and Junyuan together./ haha.
so in th end, finally walked to the playground and then played almost everything there. :DD
it was so tiring ! but fun/ oh, i think i saw Singyan there too. how odd. took 403 to Pasir Ris interchange and then after, 89 to compass. Waited for Louisa to board the bus and me and Huimin walkeed home together. then went sculpture park to have a seat. We chatted for quite some time. Then there were 2 little kids who came up to us. They were so adorable! they played with huimin too (: Sorta. had a nice talk with her.

All in all, i really had fun i never imagined i would indulge myself into. (: real glad.
Oh, had a nice night walk with family on sunday/ walked from home to anchorvale cc then back (:

This had been an ULTRA LONG post. sorry if it bore you in one way or another.
Dooms day tmr. :( S-I-G-H.

BYE. if my results arent too bad, i might actually post tmr.
