i never thought this day would come. i was spending all my secondary school life waiting in eager anticipation for the day where we need not have to attend formal curriculum lessons anymore. yet, when the day came, i am left wishing that i had cherished every second in the classroom.
a few of us brought cameras today, and there was this mass photo-taking session in during geog lesson (ms kartini didnt come). but i was too tired to really get into the act. i feel old already. in the past, i could stay up the whole night without sleeping and still make it to the next day feeling energetic. but today, after staying up the whole night and three cans of coffee and one cup of strong lipton tea, i crashed during english lesson. was the lesson partly to blame? i should think so. it was the usual examiners' report thingy. "you see what the examiners want when they mark your papers..." blah blah blah.
it feels weird that i wont be having another proper chem lesson, or bio lesson, or maths lesson, or any lesson for that matter in AHS. time flies so so quickly, gone before we even know it. i really feel frustrated that of all the things man has invented to control other things, we are still controlled by time. it is frustrating that we cannot freeze time or reverse time, we cannot manipulate it. if i could, i would choose to go back to sec1 and relive AHS all over again. only this time, i would really cherish my every single second in the school and wif my friends.
yet it seems, no matter how much we cherish, all the experiences will still turn into memories. all good things come to an end, they say. what i want are experiences, not memories. i want to experience again walking down the centre aisle of the hall during my first investiture as a sec one greenhorn, or my first time acting on stage in the air-con hall. i want to relive the time when Taino won best tribe for orientation, or the time when mrs lam first stepped into the class. i want to again be in that old council room with the low-tech turning lock and my first drama camp when we had our steamboat in the concourse.
words cannot express the frustration and regret. all i know is that most sec fours will share the same sentiments. we have the same experiences, but all different memories. when you cannot have the best, then settle for second-best. i pray and hope that all the beautiful memories in ahs will be sealed and locked in my mind forever and ever, even to the end of time, even to eternity...
sad... :(
i would love to post the photos we took today on my blog, but somehow the photo update is screwed up AGAIN. i'll try again tml.
