We spent the very last day together really just enjoying each others' company. There were no lessons planned and our schedule for the day was to spam as many photos as we could and try not to cry at the end of the day. Vera and I brought our polaroid cameras while Hnin and I brought our dslrs and basically everybody has the camera function on their phones so you can kind of guess how many photos we took. We took about a thousand throughout the day.
It didn't really start to hit me till the last period when both classparents were in class and i turned around to look at li ting. She had the saddest frown on her face. I gave her a hug and then i started to feel all depressed ): then i went around hugging all the girls before we settled down to watch class videos kindly done up by jean and kai wei.
I ran to jean's seat because i knew that if i was going to cry i didn't wanna do it at my seat alone. So jean's video played followed by kai wei's. I don't know if it was because of the music or because of the many many hilarious video snippets of our class over the years but halfway through i just couldn't stop crying. I was like "shit isabella, keep yourself together" but then i was just like BAHHHHHH NOOOOO!
Then i cooled down for 10 minutes before mr ng dismissed us. Mr ng said that it was the very last goodbye we'd ever say to each other so i braced myself and then "goodbye..MEHHHHH NOOOOOO" then hnin and i went hysterical crying. I'm really not the sort to just start crying in front of everybody so yes 2C1, now you know what a big part of my life you guys are.
We realised we were probably the only class that was that emotional then we started feeling a little embarrassed.

As sec ones we were all really just a bunch of small kids venturing into the new world known as secondary school. Looking at the photo above, we really have changed a lot. Now let me try to summarize what happened into two paragraphs max.
Orientation : met peh kaiming and ling xiu.
Aspire Camp : met jeanine goh.
Aspire Camp : met jeanine goh.
And then along the way jean and i became really good friends. Then along with kaiming we made friends with gerald lim and from about the first month onwards we went out almost everyday for lunch together. We did projects together and we didn't know anyone else except each other. My first desk mate was clavin soh and i sat behind seah shing hao. I was with ssh for about a month and a half. I was in choir and towards the end of the year i hated it and i stopped going. Did reasonably well for my papers.
Along the year we had four different classparents and seven science teachers. The class chairperson was joseph shim. Vanessa lum was the discipline head and i was the treasurer. We designed the black class tees that a lot of people didn't like. I was an easily angered teen who thought she was at her all-time low near the end of the year and had serious thoughts of transferring out.

I started the year really hating the class i don't even know why hah. I was class chairperson. The first two months were spent worrying about getting out of choir and by the beginning of march i was starting a new in drama club. At around the same time i was asked to be the reserve emcee for speech day. First performance was at clementi library the second last saturday of april.
Mid-years didn't go so well. Got involved in the school musical not knowing what my role was till five days before the actual thing. Got to do lights and it was one of the most amazing things i had ever gotten into. Met a guy i really liked. School started and at the end of the second week he asked me to be his girlfriend. I said yeah. (:
Had our hip deadline earlier than expected. Was part of the historians group and we did up the bolshoi theatre from russia with plastic bottles, cardboard bits and loads of white paint.

End of years came in a flash. Mr ng sat us down for a talk which i'm pretty sure was what pushed us to work our butts off. Chen Li Ping kept telling us we weren't good enough and pissed off we wanted to prove her wrong (we did hurhur). And then yeah the last day of school was today. How quick.
In conclusion, my dearest 2C1 :
I'm going to miss being all cranky and annoying towards you guys.
I'm going to miss sending out group texts to the 38 of you guys.
I'm going to miss the damn noisy soccer matches played with plastic bottles at the front and back of class.
I'm just going to miss every single thing about you guys.
Never will i ever be with the same group of amazing people again in the future. I wish you guys all the very best. (:
