Journey

on the bus home today, i pondered over the 4 years spent in anglican,all is left is only memories.

in sec one, entered a new environment.anglican high was my second choice after victoria, was quite suprised that i landed in ahs though, but i didnt regret it.day one was the badminton trials, the only person who was closer to me was lord jr, friend since monkey years ago, k1 you could say.somehow, i bumped ard, got into the renowned ahs badminton team, unaware that a tough journey lies ahead.since i'm in bmt, means i'm in sports class.day 2 was in 1H, where everyone was almost perfect strangers.the class bonding wasnt present, everyone had their own lil' cliques.untill sikaige came along, our cd teacher.it was him who brought everyone in 1H closer together as a class.met many new friends since then, and i felt that hey, luckily i came here.end of the year there was a badminton training camp, which lasted several days in the hols.we were training everyday, morning, afternoon, night.good time was spent during those few days, knew more abt the seniors who were quite scary.not forgetting that we trashed fu hua flat on the last day.kiato was memorable, big bully who can be quite nice.1 year was gone, well spent.

sec 2, another good year.mrs rod was the form teacher for 2H.was down with dengue fever for the first week of school, felt really sick.luckily, i was unedr home treatment, only that i have to see the doc every morn to take blood tests.really afraid of this deadly illness.if i cad a cut or a bruise, i might have died.guorong and junrong visited me with the new jerseys for the year's competition.the class is super united, and to us, 2G is just a branch of us.soon , there came a petition, which for the first time, we felt the presence of 2G.it was for the principal to start the sports class programme in sec 3 &4, which the school stopped due to many problems.but we were all determined, as in to stay together in the same class for 2 more years.it was june, and my first time at student camp.that was the first time i came so close to God, but i closed the door on him.nearly cried out at church during PAW night.will talk abt my 3 years of student camp participation later.anyway, forgot about the juniors in badminton.we sort of bumped around and played east zones tournament, didnt know that we were so strong.a surprise for most of us that we came in second behind victoria.we lost to them in the finals 2-3.first time we met them, we lost 0-5.that was the 1st time we lost as a team.there was limeng who was afraid of me and the reason was that i looked fierce.higher chinese class was at 2F,with huiwen,leonard,bryan,leeyang and i.it was like the first time out of sports class into another, met new people,non-sports ones.they feel so different, yet easy to get along well with.then in nov, there was the shanghai trip, almost all the boys were there, soccer was played almost everyday cos the hostel has all sort of facilities.went for jap food one night, cheaper than singapore.n not forgetting the starbucks there,and the salons that have a second storey that provides other 'services'.we were warned of those,in case we get raped???maybe.josephine went to VJC ip, kirk went to TJC ip, thats the end of sec 2.

sec 3, miss tay was the form teacher.in came the people from the sports branch, out went some of the 2H people.3F was clearly splitted up.there was 2H, badminton girls, tt boys.tse see came with 2H, she was the only netballer cos rachel left on day 1 to sec 3A.not much contact with the 2G people till Bonding camp 2006, @ sentosa.good camp, learned many things abt each other, and there came 3F, which was closer than what we were like when sec 3 started.student camp too in 2007, abt the same grp as when in sec 2 student camp.the bmt tournament wasnt fruitful, got knocked out in the east zone 1st round.try again nxt year was all we could do.still, new juniors joined us, but this batch, i dont really like them, seriously.most got attitude problem, but no discipline problems.later that year we had en suelo mas alto, the schools 50th anniversary concert at esplanade.many 3F people went, and it was the last time we do things together as a class with jovan, who was forced out of 3F by the maid in the office.still, we are a team, no one could break anyone of us out.had the express chinese o levels, which came out as a B3, huiwen and lord jr too.we made a vow to score an a1 on a2 in higher chinese o levels.a good year well spent too.

sec 4, the same old people from3F, no jovan this time.2007 was a very different year for me, and those ard me.i accepted Christ during the student camp.came as a shocker to many people.and the badminton tournament, we came in 3rd in east zone, we played home in school as we wanted, chased the girls out of home to play somewhere else.got booted out in nationals 1st round, the draw wasnt good.after that, went to student camp, with new people in the group, and i managed to drag more friends to this wonderful camp.had prelims, and some o levels stuff here and there along the year, ended the year with olevels, and holidays are here.then we had prom night @ four seasons hotel, it was a great night, too bad i left early, missed out a bit or quite some you could say.i still enjoyed there.i found that my blazer was laden with glitter, but from who?everyone looked great, the girls looked gorgeous, or maybe it was those expensive dresses and makeup and hairdo at some posh salon?should be lah, everyone knows that.working at uic after o levels, we became high paid temp staff.guorong,zhengyi,binghao became collegues.met junyang and mingkang, good people.how i wish i could go back to prom again, hope the church could organise sth good for the sec 4s to get together.i still have sth to say, that i have not said.there could be good news ahead, wait for my pics and post soon if i'm successful.have been praying and hoping it would come true.hard to imagine i missed that for so many years,3 year plus?it should be quite soon, but theres no need to rush.just wait and see.

now, i'll talk abt the 3 times that i hve been to student camp, organised by the church in school.1st year was the most fun out of the 3, when i was in sec 2.leader was qingnian ge and vannessa.the group members included me, rockie,cherlyn,shirleen,tsesee,rachel,yeehan,huixin,grace,yuhua,ben and not forgetting daryl.these people in the group, only rockie and i were from 2H, the rest 2G.we all got along very well.the talent night, everyone worked together and did quite well, for a grp of rookies, we got 4th or 5th.then came that amazing amazing race held on the second last day.surprising that we managed to come in second, we were all elated and tired.that very night, i witnessed something, something very important to me.it was the very emotional praise and worship night.the song that theykept playing was 'So You Would Come".its something like this 'because of his great love, he gave his only Son,everything was done so you would come.Come to the Father, though your gift is small, broken hearts broken lives, he will take them all." i was so touched i nearly cried,and raise my hand to accept Christ as my savior.He was knocking on the door so hard yet i refused to let Him in, rockie cried, yuhua and ben went up, the girls cried.i'm confused and lost.the next day, i went home, and felt very empty deep in my heart,something was missing, i am very sure.

the following year, went to student camp again.a small group, without ben, yeehan,huixin,yuhua,and grace.shuyi jie and weijie were the leaders of 'America's Next Top Model'.this camp was alright, nothing special.only thing i remembered was that we were beaten flat in the amazing race, as we lost our way in the city area.

student camp 2007,the most memorable one that i would never forget.this time a group of NCC boys came along in the group.there was me, zhengyi, binghao, rockie,john,janson,yongping, johnathan,samuel,mr chua, jovan,daryl.a big big big big group of jokers together.won many things, one of the best groups in the camp.saw the St.John group again, with 2 nice gays among them who shared the same room with us.after the praise and worship night, i had a talk with mr chua.it was 11/6/2007, midnight. actually during the whole camp, i felt the urge to do sth, but i dont even know what it was.it was that night, that i realised what it was.ccp showed me a small booklet that i saw b4, but dumped it somewhere.its the '4 spiritual laws'.i was touched, so much that i opened my door, and let Him in.i felt different, i was happy, i was glad.i had put the past behind, as i know a well-planned life lies ahead.i never felt like this before.that was like the last chance that could make me a christian, and i did not regret taking that chane.i thanked ccp everyday in my prayers, and everyone around me.when i got home the following day after a lunch treat from ccp at seoul garden,i dont feel that emptiness in my heart anymore, cos i have Christ in me.

thats all abt the journey in AHS,four years, 4 fast years.hope we could keep in contact.

its 24 more days to Christmas, and i want you
