THE END.today, officially marks the end of my four-year secondary school journey. its a nice full-stop in my life, and i guess i will be expecting more exclamation marks, question marks, comma, full-stops and so on, but im excited to carry on in life. a new life(:
Four years. its been four years in St margs. and leaving it is a total different feeling as compared to leaving nanyang primary. i left nanyang without knowing anything about life. mainly, all i knew was that i need to get into a secondary school and continue studying. poof* but today, i graduate from st margs as a completely different person. 4 years, ive learnt more about what happiness, anger, sadness, stress, friendships, and LIFE is. being in the tennis team, playing competitive tennis for 4 years taught me how to lose. (not win, mind you.) before i win, i must learn how to lose. i entered tennis team with pratically nothing. not knowing a single bit of tennis, and losing every match i played in the first year, i pressed on. and that made me become what i am today.
my life had been smooth-sailing during my primary school years. in fact, too smooth-sailing. but it was st margs that changed my life. in st margs, i learnt to dream, i learnt to lose, and i learnt many other precious lessons of life.
i marvel at how much ive grown, physically and mentally. PHYSICALLY, ive got to thank my parents for feeding me good food. and MENTALLY- all credit goes to those people around me. here goes...
GILLIAN!
apart from what i wrote for you, and another letter im going to write to you, soon. heres what im going to say. really appreciated all that you've done for me for this whole year. even though i only got to know you better this year, i treasure the friendship we've had. it was one of the most meaningful time. i love the way you view life, and every obstacle you face. love your enthusiasm and commitment towards everything. and im glad to say that ive picked up some very useful tips from you. i wish you ALL THE BEST IN WHATEVER YOU DO! <3
SONIA AND PRIS!
year 2006, we've been through alot. lets just hope that the bad ones will fade, and let happy memories stay.
SONIA: you've been a strong kid this whole time. continue to stay that way, and nothing can ever stop you from moving forward in life. hope that all the quotes ive given you provide you some hope when everything seems dark. no matter what, stay strong.
PRISCILLA: ive given this quote to many, but i got the idea from your blog entry.
"never doubt your ability to achieve, but doubt how much you want to achieve it..."
may God continue to shower his blessings upon both of you.

its been a relatively short year this year. but the tennis team, the sec 4 team was the only group i stayed, played, trained together for FOUR years. we were rather seperated for the first two years, but till sec3 and 4, stronger bonds were forged between us. and i loved the times whn we were playing together. lets bring along those memories, the smss tennis spirit everywhere we go. it was the tennis team that brought me to know some of the people, who are now my closest friend. and i thank God for that. smss tennis team, ROCK ON!

a class that made my life complete for 2 years. the best class ive been in, and the best time ive ever had in my life. dots camp; the crazy things we did. they were fond memories that i will treasure. i can forsee everyone of you doing great things in the future, its not only because everyone is doing great in their studies, its because of who you are. that spirit in everyone of you. and i hope that fourfive spirit will remain in you, in st margs for as long as it can be. i love 4e5!
JOANNE: theres too much to say to you, and i guess writing everything here wouldnt even be enough. so, yours will come soon.
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT!
