Seeing how almost everyone is reminiscing their experience about the past 3 years, I guess I'll do my version..
As the cliche saying goes, time really freakin flies. It really does.
It only seemed yesterday that I boarded 151 for the first ever time to school..
thinking about the people I'll meet and work with for the next 3 years..
Year 1... to sum it up, it was eye-opening.
The work, the new system, the new schedule, most importantly, new types of people.
I will admit that Year 1 was the lowest point of my 3 years.
But hey, better to suffer the first year than to suffer in your last. Which I'm glad the latter didnt happen.
In times of hardship, this is when people really showed their true nature.
I was unlucky enough to be caught up in this act and it was this that made my year miserable.
At the same time, I was amazed by how low people would go to get to their goals at the expense of others.
Fortunately, there were a few who didnt fall into that category which i'm very glad for. I had so many melees and what not with these few, but what good memories now that I look back on.
And with that, Year 1 drew to a close.. And year 2 came calling.
Year 2.. well well well, much better than the last.
New class, new modules.. but new friends.
You know who you all are.
Let's make an anagram...
A.N.A.L.Y.S..... figure that out :p
It was really great knowing and working with you all, so allow me to say Thanks for your friendship.
Thanks for the memories of slavering in the atrium, the insane madness and ... well everything that was worth remembering haha.
Besides this, I had the chance to work as a freelance writer for Starhub's WC2006 website..
Future dream job.. and I intend to try to fulfil it.
Year 3.. bloody hell, it was also fun!
New people to mix with, new modules and may i add, a new wonderful teacher I had the chance to be tutored by.
No prizes to guess who, for all the people in the tuesday afternoon and evening classes :p
Another module nearly fried my ass and got me scared of failing, but I got by it.
Other than that, this was the time I came to realize how much effort it takes to really know someone.
It's so easy to judge by first impressions. It's so difficult to go beyond the surface and look at what's really beneath it.
I was guilty of it so many times, but it's not going to happen next time..
and with that internship came.. and now, 20 weeks have long gone.
It's so hard to believe that.. that's it. It's come to an end...
...ok so now.. i think... i think...
it's time for the special mentions :p
1) To Karthi: I want to say thanks for everything. You were the first person that I met in Year 1 and from there, it was all history. Thanks for all the million jokes, thanks for being a great work partner and thanks for being a good friend... indirectly, you've shown me stuff that I probably would not seen until much much later in my life. Through all the numerous teasings and crap that I've put up all this while, it's been a pleasure. If there's always anything you need help with, I'll try my best to help ya. I wish you all the best for your future and hope that you will make it big in whatever you plan to do.
2) To Han Yuen: I'll always remember that little melee we had in year 1. That will probably be the best memory I'll always have of you. Not in a bad way, but a testimony to how much you have changed since then. It was great having to know you, even though we didnt work together much. I was glad to see you back at NAPFA that day, cos it was a long time since we had ever talked. Praise God for that day. I was happy to see Him working in you into the person He had planned for you to be. So wherever you go man, be strong and trust in Him always. Cheers to you!
3) A.N.A.L.Y.S : Have you solved this one yet? Hahaha. Anyway, for those who did and if you're the one that I'm mentioning, thanks once again for your friendship. It was great knowing all of you. I wish nothing but the best for your futures.
4) To Gerald, Derek and Sean: Yeah I came to know you guys a lil late but it was better than not knowing at all. Still, thanks for the witty jokes and the company. It has been great knowing you all. Hope to keep in touch!
and to others who i have not mentioned... this is for a great future.
take it at your pace.
