After Farewell Assembly...

Ok this may seem like a continuation to zhiwei's post haha. So yeah, farewell assembly is over and the last last day of school is finally over, but I didn't really feel that sad or nostalgic despite all the slideshows and parting words frm teachers, and that felt kinda weird. It did strike me that it was probably our last or 2nd last time singing the college anthem after 6 whole years of it and the batch song was definitely a high (though the tempo was way too slow), but it somehow just lacked the atmosphere and the sense of parting I felt on RI grad ceremony.

I guess part of it was as zhiwei said, its really not a very appropriate time to say goodbyes considering revision lectures and A lvls. Everyone is too busy with SATs and uni apps and mugging to be in the right mood for goodbyes. But more than that, for me at least, I just dont feel as strong a sense of belonging to RJ as to RI, and I dunno whether thats a good thing lol. I have made some great friends in RJ and I am really glad that 4T stayed together all the way til today, and I definitely enjoyed my time here, but when I think back to RI days, RJ days just seem to pale in comparison.

Like I was telling a classmate on the way home a week ago, I don't get the same kind of feeling walking down a corridor in RJ and a corridor in RI; the corridor in RJ brings back just mundane memories of walking to tutorials or lectures but corridors in RI bring back memories of catching, water gun fights and marching in uniform. Maybe its cos the time we had in RJ was just too short. After 2 years, we have finally settled in but its already time for us to leave. If we had 4 years in RJ, i might have been feeling very different today. Or maybe its just cos of the path I have taken these 2 years and the activities I have engaged in, but thats another story.

Nevertheless, I still have to say these two years have been great in different ways from my RI years, and I have indeed grown and matured these two years (or so i hope). Other than 4T, my class 2S03I has been my closest circle of friends, and although I dont think any of them knows about this blog, I still have to thank my classmates for the fun and crappy stuff we've done these two years like frisbee, spades marathon, shithead etc.

OKOK, enuff of my rambling its getting too personal I think anyone who started reading this will have fallen asleep by now, but that pretty much sums up what I'm feeling now haha. Maybe I'll edit this and remove stuff later but for now I have nothing more to say and I need to go dota or colin and cheehow will murder me lol.
