The Ice Queen Speaks Up
The Ice Queen Speaks Up…..
Seeing the deluge of emo posts on the blog, I thought maybe I’ll break my golden rule of silence for once and actually blog, (via hammy) about my 6a experience.
So basically I came to rj by fluke. I didn’t want to go hc because it felt so stifling and claustrophobic. At the same time I couldn’t possibly go vj because of it simply because it isn’t practical. Thus the only choice left was here, and so here I am. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from my new jc/class, my previous school left me feeling weary and cynical. Therefore, I came to jc as an icy cold dao kia, determined not to get too attached to anyone or anything. But, as Miss Wong pointed out, it isn’t easy not to get attached to 6a. The class is just too engaging and warm…
Throughout the last 2 years, the class has been nothing less than great fun. There’s always this lively and bubbly atmosphere in class. I guess Xuhui’s right, the class is a very child-like, engaging in silly things like face jokes and water fights… but then again it just reflects on the class’ innocence and fun-loving nature. Yet beneath the childish facade, the class exudes a sense of maturity, knowing when to draw the lines on some touché issues. Granted, some feelings might have been hurt along the way, and some tears shed, but I believe none of this was meant to be. Certainly, there is no malicious intent to hurt anyone. And besides, there is always this remarkable quality of the class to forgive and forget, which, I believe, is one of the greatest grace a human being can show any other. (though I don’t think anything that unforgivable has ever happened yet, haha)
I can’t exactly pinpoint what makes the class click, but it just does. There’s just this nice, lovely effervescence that enlivens dreary school days. Much as I love y2k, I don’t think I would have been able to stay awake during chem if not for the many guessing games the class plays with our exasperated tutor. We never take anything seriously, and remain eternally sanguine in the face of results and incessant naggings. And I’m truly grateful for this eternal optimism and euphoria. I feel sheltered from the intense Rafflesian competition by our little happy and contented class.
And lastly, the class probably wouldn’t be what it is today without the people making up the class. Somehow, everyone just has a part to play in it – be it the class clown, class bimbo, or class pet – everyone has a unique personality (perhaps, best reflected in out class nicknames, haha) that lends the class its character. Thus, the class bears a little characteristic of each of us, making it truly a class to call our own.
So what I really want to say is this: thank you 6a for all the fun and laughter, and for allowing me to be part of this class. From the bottom of my heart, I wish all of you happiness and that no matter what happens, all of you will be able to remain optimistic. And I hope too, that you’ve already figured out what you want in life and how to get it. Whatever it is, remember, do not lose sight of the end in pursuit of the means. That said, all the best everyone, carpe diem!
