Aite, due to boredom and the feel of the need to do so, i decided to look back on the year 2008 and think about the people who made it possible for me to even survive through it, and at the same time feel good about the time i spend.
4 years of education in Acsi certainly gave me alot in terms of friendship and bonds.
Especially the fact that i was, by god's grace, sorted into class 3.2/4.2, the best class i have ever been in.
Not only the class, but also other schoolmates have helped me along the way.
Not to mention certain primary schoolmates who have helped make the past year a somewhat enjoyable one.
Now, i take the time to give special mention to all of these people, they deserve it.
-Scholars-
They changed my stereotypical mindset about scholars taking chances to suck up. Also, they proved far different from fags like zhao yue and liu yang in ib who are..well just fags. Nice guys who never fail to help me in studies (china ones) or humour me (malaysian and indonesian ones).
-Ananthan, Fred, Sampy-
For never failing to make the soccer games enjoyable and full of laughs.
-Johari, Adib, Fayaz-
All man u fans who add life to the class, the muds. Especially Adib and Johari, who always make us laugh at their spastic tendencies and sick jokes. Haha.
-Kane-
My fellow arsenal fan, the machine, and the guy who always points out my speech errors -.- Nevertheless one of the best friends i made these past year.
-Joel, Emerson, Jia Kai-
The more...quieter people of the class, but underneath their "innocent" exteriors hide some whacko personalities. Emerson the "boss", Joel the sicko, Jiax the..i dunno.
-Aloysius-
The closest the class has to the definition of 'nsk'. Always wary about fashion, hair and the height of his socks, and some amazing ponner. Became a hardcore mugger like alex in the pre-prelims period. Always a good friend to talk to, albeit the lame jokes.
-CK-
The beast, the most athletic guy in the class. The reason why we failed in interclass soccer (due to his absence). The guy i sat next to for 2 years. Jokes and humour all around, a fellow bnetter, and a very good friend, though he always seizes the chance to jack people. Though its common and ordinary, haha.
-Jerome, Eugene-
Possibly the luckiest guys (especially in soccer). Both have provided their fair share of jokes and own styles of humour, and both bnet as well, and that's always a good thing, hehe
-Leon-
Very good friend who no matter what always gives out a helping hand. In my opinion the model student. Good in studies, good in CCAs, he dsa-ed into ib already. Gatherings at his house have been fun, and he also bnets. If not for him and some others, my studies would still be failing.
-Dinesh-
The guy who always verbal challenges me over whether man u or arsenal is better. Some gay shit in studies despite him playing soccer with us all the time, i still don't get how this guy achieves it.
-Dominic-
My red-faced friend. Nice guy who, despite my many shall we say "complaints", never turns his back on me. Man, I'm sorry for the times i mocked u on bnet. Also, never complains about playing as goalie.
-XP-
A nice guy in real life, a total beast in the internet. Known for his leet talk and crude comments, he dwells in 4chan.org and always makes me laugh. Somehow, he became a liverpool fan this year. What a shame.
-Yuan Wei-
My primary school former classmate from 5U. Great friend who shares the same interests as me, he's always there for the encouragement, and the self-ole-ing tendencies. Thank god, we got sorted into the same class in sec 3.
-Alex, Suan, Brandon, Tzilai-
FOR BEING WITH ME FOR 4 YEARS! Undoubtedly the best friends i made throughout my 4 years, being through hard and good times together. Alex for inspiring me to study by being a gay shit of a mugger himself, Suan for being a great person to talk to especially about soccer, Brandon for igniting my interest in dota, and tzilai for being a great friend, at the same times being the heartbeat of the class with your antics. Thanks guys.
Done with my class. Now onto some schoolmates.
-Melvin, Palmer, Jun Yang, Edmund-
For making Ncdcc bearable and endurable, with your jokes and all.
From my amath tuition,
-Desiree-
For being the only person i could talk to during class, well apart from the teacher, and for being a good friend in the O level period. Maybe, we'll meet in acjc or something.
And now some of my primary schoolmates.
-Xuan Wei, Wei Sheng, Jian Ler, Ivan, David, and so on-
For the times we played soccer together, and for still being good friends despote separating 4 years ago. More soccer outings please.
Last but definitely not least,
-Sarah-
How to start. Yes, if not for her and leon, my studies would be a total mess. When i failed my chem mid years, i was demoralised, and wanted to give up. Yet she encouraged me repeatedly not to give up and just go mug. Since then she has been somewhat like a private chem tutor to me, with me asking her questions like all the time, including bio and physics questions, and she never fails to answer them. Yes, if not for her, i wouldn't have improved by 15 points by prelims. Also willing to lend/photocopy notes, and expects more practice papers from me for doing -.- The very definition of a person who loves to mug. A very good friend who introduced that guidebook to me. And some korean freak. I wanna say now, thanks for all the help and never giving up on me, wish i could reciprocrate in some way.
For people i did not mention, you also probably helped me in one way or another.
Thank you all for making me have a nice 2008, and may god's grace follow you all as we all part again.
Peace.
