acjc, always

acjc, always

Because yesterday's slideshow was so general, I came up with a mini one of my own. (: 88 pictures are a killer to upload and many thanks to David or I would have died at the computer. Haha.

To all my friends, team mates, classmates, and schoolmates, I will miss you guys truckloads! ): I had the time of my life in AC - there was so much to learn, so much fun to have, so many lessons to skip, so many parties to go to, so many friends who loved me, so many rounds of track to run, so much water for us to swim in, so huge a void deck for us slack at, so nice a library for us to sleep in, so tall a gate for us to climb, so big a field for us to play at, so bright a set of lights for us to train at night, so lovely a stretch of bleachers for us to emo and if I could, I would go and on and on and this 2 years' of memory would stretch on and on and reach forever.

From the best first three months to the crazy swimming sessions, to Fun-O-Rama and falling onto the road in front of a hundred people, to realising I'm not mermaid and should therefore stick to netball, to cheering and screaming like a true Acsian during the sports seasons, to biting my nails and keeping my heart in my throat at the netball finals, to staying up till the sun comes up to get myself promoted, to getting sick of holidays after Promos, to the tough decision of quitting netball and joining hockey, to falling in love with hockey and being vice-captain, to the insane Bandar-not camp, to taking Terms with 4hours' worth of revision, to the bestest and most unforgettable hockey season of my life, to the June holidays which never passed so fast, to the scary and stressful Prelims and the best Post-Prelims holidays ever, and finally to Honours Night and Baccalaureate's Service in the last term.

I've had a couple of 'Bests' in AC, but I've also stumbled a couple of times to learn a few of the most important lessons of my young life so far. I've learnt that things are not always personal, and that people are not always what they seem at first. I've learnt that even the most unlikely (Taboo superstar, you know who you are! :D) can become the greatest friend, and everything you say and do will affect another person. I've learnt that giving a false IC number to the security guard doesn't work sometimes, and DCs can be escaped. I've learnt that the best things don't come easy, and victory tastes the sweetest with the most heart. I've learnt that A levels are hard, and I study best at night. I've learnt that the world is huge and scary, and that friends will always get you through. Always and always.

So here I've put together my personal bests to show off to the world what a lovely, lovely two years we've all had. It still does not say everything, but what can? The Acsperience is too big for a couple of still shots and no words could ever be enough. I will miss ACJC, always.
