Graduation
Sunday, December 23, 2007
Before i go pack up the Lego, bathe and head to bed, i must say, it has become as depressing as the start of the holidays. Then, it was about losing all my friends. Now, its about leaving them behind. Pretty much the same thing.
All i know is that Leslie, Gavin, Aitong and Baoxian are going to MJC with me for first three months. I never even knew a girl called Aiting (corrected!) existed, i have never held conversation with Baoxian, and Leslie and Gavin are nice people but just not with my interest group. I got through the holidays always looking forward to the next outing with the usual suspects. It never failed to perk me up. Of course, the distraction that is the computer and Lego have helped, but then i'll have to stop them soon.
For those not going for the first month, i don't know how they will occupy themselves. All i can guess is that they may also be regretting the future, for even though they don't necessarily envy those going for the first month (yes, i know most of them actually think its better to skip it), they much as well know that a part of their education life-and the friendships that came along- have to an extent been cut off.
So it is with great dismay that i anticipate the coming new year, the new friends to have to make in a new school campus and people, (who may not be actually very bad, but being more introverted than extroverted, one cannot help but feel much unease) as well as a new journey and leg to set foot upon. I only hope that good friends- not just the third degree, but anyone whose msn conversation i have gone over (delete older messages?) can come along. That is the benchmark, for you only know more of the people you converse more with.
To Mark, The first person who comes to mind, do hope you can come along after the first month. The journey has been long and friendship tested, and there is no question as to the way you bloody well assimilate with "pro-dence" into my similar interest category. Cross your fingers and we all may very well end up in the same boat, for better or worse.
To Ben, because of me you couldnt get into Damai, but the past is behind. It irritates the shit out of me that you aggravate me for fun of my reactions, but what the f***, friends will be friends and i'll be glad if we ended up in the same school too.
To Yichen, CLB lesson debates were really a chunk of what i looked forward to each Tuesday. You're pretty much the only person who bothers debating because apparently you like a challenge... (that wasnt intended as a self-praise, no, seriously) as you said so in your blog. You've been the most eccentric of the bunch, and though you would rather a poly over a JC, its surely not a bit of a harm should you care to join me in wherever i'm headed to.
To Eileen, times have been rather mellow and not much has gone on (i'd say it kind of fits the situation but what the hell.) What Huiting and Weiling said was a bit too late, i hope you understand. At this eventful juncture of our lives, i wonder how we would have done if the paths were really split. We don't know yet, but as i said before, you would be most welcome to join the party.
To Xavier, time has been short and you joined the bunch later than usual, but no qualms eh. Once part of E2, always part of E2. Your presence seems to have suceeded Roger, but then again the comparison fails to give significance. The fag owes me money. But thats besides the pont too heheh. Join the Overlord Clan that is the Third Degree and the bloodbath shall begin.
Wrapping it up, ( I need to pack up the Lego!) i must say that typing this post hasn't made me feel really sad as i thought i would. But sure as hell, the next day when i think about it, and this Thursday when i go all alone for the MJC orientation, it's probably going to hurt. Because even if it doesnt, i know it should.
