I know its probably not wise to blog at 1am considering the fact that its very likely to be just the late night and emo soul talking for me. But well wells, its a urge im satisfying.
Its National Day once again...i dont know why it took me so long to realized what Singapore meant to me. Its sounds super cliche and its probably my patriotism talking...lolol but im 18, okay soon..., and i probably might not been happy every second of my 18 years but im after-all born and raised here. Its the only home i have thus the best. I indeed have made complains like it being super competitive and jc kids have to mug like crazy and not even get a freaking spot in uni, and the cost of living is so freaking high, and that salaries for low skilled jobs are low...But i guess this is what makes Singapore special. I guess for my past 18 years i have never actually appreciated my country as i would always have a thought that what has my country done for me...But now its more like what hasn't my country done for me. Its funny how some people can grow overnight while others simply take a lifetime. But turns out, i am a proud Singaporean. And it surprised me of how the story of how our forefathers fought for our independence touched me...Yea i dont exactly know the full story...its the thought of that that really touches me.
Anyways, Happy Birthday Singapore.
Had rather a crazy day at pjc. Its the last national day celebration for us J2s so i guess things get a little crazier cause of that. But its times like these that makes you think back in the future and smile. Was rather frustrated after the concert since i cant freaking get a cab. Called 2 different cab companies like 6 times , heard their minutes long trumpet or whatever other instruments' solo...and then...no cab available. Thank goodness, Cabs are getting pulled out from the coe thingy, Cheers to the government for hearing us out...hope that it would turn out to be effective.
Anyways, finally got a damn cab and yea the uncle was rather nice, had a long convo about Singapore with him and yea it cost me 17bucks. Finally got to Peirce and it was rather awkward provided that i stepped out of the car and a bunch of new faces staring at me. Luckily it only lasted for seconds before i found the awesome peoples who just cant get over the fact that i've grown taller :] I love how peirce always makes me feel like home...all those memories. Genuinely love the teachers there. Whats awesome is that since you're graduated, you get to crash places like the staff rooms and they cant say anything about it lolol. Its kinda funny when this junior was calling the extension numbers and we just opened the door and walked it. And whats awesome is you get to joke around with the principals as once again, you've graduated! :] I feel like i can just go on and on and on and on all day about peirce...but yea i would definitely choose peirce over pioneer any day, anytime. Its not take i dont like pioneer, i do, its just different.
Oh i met madam Julia yeong and walked her to her car. Chatted about biology and she told me to not go to life sciences...Its kinda ironic since almost half the biology cohort is thinking of that course. But she said most graduates from life sciences ended up teaching. But i dont really mind, in fact NIE is one of my top choices. So i guess if i Santa Claus exist and grant me a miracle, i might just end up taking that path :] Anyways apart from biology matters, i really missed mdm yeong and her bear hugs! She was the closest teacher i had back in peirce since she took netball since i was in sec 1 and she took me for biology from sec 2 to sec 4 and i was her vice-captain in sec 3 and the pure biology class was really small so i guess bonds are closer. I still remember how she always motivates me to ace biology by giving me incentives for doing better than others or she would threaten me by saying if i get anything less than a B she's gonna throw 100 netballs at me. Gotta love her!
This turned out to be a rather long post yea. But hey, you cant limit a talkative girl :]
