Final post of the year for Secondary 1 :)

This will be the final post on my blog for the year. This year has been kind of difficult to cope due to the sudden change of surroundings and circumstances. I had to make new friends making me very lonely at the beginning of the year, and i dearly missed my primary school friends even till this day. I have come a long way I must say since I first stepped into this school, unaware of how the school looks like and lost in this huge place.

Due to the lack of accustoming, I was not able to do well for my exams. I started getting tense when I heard that I could not continue to Secondary 2 if I continued to fail my Chinese. I was scared by then as my other subjects were relatively okay and my math could cope very well.

Along the way of a hard and difficult year, I met some very good friends like Samson, Khe Han ( he was my first friend as we were in the same orientation group) and Wei Liang ( he was my second friend). I can still clearly remember the day when I became friends will Wei Liang. Just remembering it makes me laugh. I met him in the canteen and we realised we belonged in the same class. When we went to buy drinks, I paid for a watermelon juice. As I waited for it, Wei Liang held his chocolate milk which he had planned to buy. When I got my drink and walked of, then he realised he had not paid for his milk! That was the best day I had!

A few weeks after that, we had to choose my CCA and I got scouts! I was furious then! I could never get into the choice of my own! All I thought scouts would be about was just camp, footdrill and cooking. All I liked about it was cooking and nothing else.

I still distinctively remember the first time I went for Scouts camp. All of us thought it was very fun. Even the leader said it was fun! All I wanted to do after the camp was to just die! The food tasted horrible! There was no games! We had to solo hike in the school and solo night for one whole night and not just an hour. The leaders even told us around 30+ ghost stories of every single part of the school just before we went to bed. I was scared stiff! I even heard a woman's high heels footsteps which was what the leader said! My friend said that last year when he went for camp, he had to wake up for fire drill. He went to the water cooler to drink water and when he turned his head around, he saw a Japanese ghost sweeping the floor! On the second night we slept in a tent. We slept at 12 a.m. and were abruptly awakened by the leaders saying there was "a fire". We had to quickly pack our bags and run to the terraces with our heavy bags!. After that, we ran 1.6 km while singing songs at 3 a.m.! Then we had to do pumping on the track which has hard and painful. That was the worst camp I had ever been to. In the end, we had to run 3.2 km!

After overcoming many obstacles in my studies, I started to cope for my exams. I planned what I had to study way beforehand and got prepared. Now for the exams, I did better than I had expected it to be and I'm proud of myself! I have to especially thank Mr Balan for teaching me. Although he is very strict, he still teachers well and even somewhat gave us the answer for the literature component in the final year exam! Thank you.

Well, my last post of the year has finally come to an end and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. All those fond memories of my best friend will be treasured and kept well as I continue my journey to become a scholar one day and be a proud hwa chongian. :)
