Jia Min: Dedicated to AMKSS, Teachers & Friends

Hey Guys,

Another late night reflection again i guess? Been having alot of late night reflections lately. Not sure is it because of the stress that i have for O Levels or what.

But yes, if you have seen my facebook and instagram post, you would have known that i have finally graduated from my secondary school 2 days go, 3 Oct 2014. Another milestone in life.

I was not very good in my studies and thus, i got into AMKSS as an NA student, which means studying in secondary school for 5 years. Things changed when i scored well during my secondary 2 streaming year that allowed me to move into a thru train class, which means i do not have to take my N Levels and move on to O Levels.

Not afraid to share here since there is nothing to be ashamed about.

When i first enrolled in my secondary, like others, i'm very blur. Being really immature, i irritated others by complaining to teachers about every misdeed done by my classmates. And yes, everyone was irritated. That was what i learned. Being hated by everyone was really bad. Got glued to my chair (lucky with a glue stick instead of superglue) because i was so hated by everyone. Rumors spread and my name was one of the super infamous one. Not sure why am i sharing this but yes, im just talking about my story.

In secondary 2, things didnt get any better, I always thought i could sing quite okay and made covers that made me embarass myself. My schoolmates should know about the price tag song. I was nicknamed Jessie Siow. Thinking about it, i felt so childish, my voice was super high pitched and i sound awful after listening to it after years. Before parent teacher conference, i was splashed on the face with water by Sanjay.

I have always been in the counseling room since i like to blabble alot and alot. Its not a bad thing since i think it the way like im accompanying them :) But thats not the case. I was bullied so badly that i usually go home and cry. (That was in the past)

In secondary 3, moved into a new class, 3A2. Feared Gershom the most since he was the bully last time and always bullies me. (But we are friends now :)) My voice was still irritating but my relationship with my class improved a teeny weeny bit. Not much bad things happened and i still appeared in the counselling room to just chit chat with the counsellors, good friends okay.

Secondary 4 and 5, my relationship with my class improved alot. And this might be the happiest years in my whole secondary schools. I finally got accepted by my class though i still get bullied, i became a badass and started to talk back. HA.HA.HA.

I guess everyone changes over time. Im no exception. There comes a point in life where people becomes more mature.

Here, i would like to express my thanks to my form teacher, Mr Desmond Tong. He has been a really caring and supportive teacher even when sometimes he doesn't express it. He can joke around like if you are late for your lesson not in his class, he will say 'go away' or 'scram'. That is the funny part. However, when he is serious, he meant business. I could look for him sometimes to just talk about some unhappiness. Of course not all la, he is a guy afterall. My maths teacher for 3 years. Just really glad i had him for a form teacher, so is class 3A2'12, 4A2'13, 5A2'14.

Next comes Miss Huang Wei Yu. The cutest and most lovable teacher i have seen, she started teaching me at the end of secondary 4. And i will never ever regret to have a teacher like her. She is very jovial and very fun and easy going. What is there not to like about her? I got really really close to her and our 'relationship' grew stronger and stronger. Until i can share with her about anything in the world, be it happy or sad. During farewell assembly, she is the only one that i hugged twice and really long, crying hard together. You see, the bond.

And of course all the other teachers that have taught me since secondary. I cant possibly blog about everyone of them or i wont be able to sleep tonight. But i am just really thankful for them to be teaching me. Different teachers teach in different manners. So are they. With them around, what more can i ask for? Although i don't do my work at times haha. I do now okay?

Then my beloved classmates. They were the ones who made me become who i am today, all the bullying, all the friendships, attitudes and everything. Best class i could ever wish for. Since we had the privileged of being together for 3 years, the bond that we have compared to those classes who only bond for 2 years, we are very lucky. Without people like Jeremy and the other people in class, classes would be boring, dry and quiet. With them, it becomes a zoo, HAHA. In a good way. I will always remember them as a really good class and friends that i have ever had. Now that we all have graduated, it is time for us to get on our final lap for O Levels. I would miss the every monday to friday together in the horrific classroom. Going our different ways. Some will end up in Poly, JC or even overseas like Australia. All the best for O Levels and do your best <3

Not sure if the other classes are as crazy as us to meet after farewell assembly for dinner @ Astons at TPY Safra, since our teacher was there with his wife and boys haha, then going to Upper Thomson Road for some Salted Caramel and TaoHuey and walk around neighborhood till 11++Pm. But yeah, that it.

Moving on.

Through one of the school events. I met this person **** and this person has been in my life ever since. As a sister, as a brother, as an aunty, as an uncle. Never ever regretted meeting him. During my most down period or happy periods, this guy will give me his time for me to blabble and vent out my anger and anything. Cheers to good brothers forever!

There are also many other people la, through CCA. Special mention Brian and Zafira, not sure if you will see this but, thanks so much for being a really good friend. Meetup soon alright!

Okay, i am drifting away already. Really sorry for this lengthy post. Ending off with some pictures together with the calls and teachers.
