We graduated. Everytime I graduate, I don't know to be happy or upset. I feel both. Happy when we're taking photos and hanging around together, but sad coz' such days will no longer be there after the graduation day. Fortunately, there wasn't any community singing, or else my tears would be uncontrollable. I still remember crying when the teachers led us in singing 'Auld Lang Syne' when we graduated from RV. I kind of anticipated that we will somehow hear the song 《祝你一路顺风》 by 吴奇隆, though. The ever-so-popular song played on days when people have to part. Luckily, it's the J1s who sang it during the LEP farewell party. If we were to sing along, I think I'll cry. Haha I can be quite emotional and easily moved to tears. There were a few instances when tears welled up but fortunately, I managed to keep them in my eye sockets.

Thank you teachers, for the wonderful video. It was hilarious at some points and really encouraging to hear the teachers cheering us on. The Physics department was really cute and funny. They integrated Physics terms into their speech, together with some, erm, funny gestures. We finally got Mr Khoo's sense of humour, I guess? Haha~ The Physics tutors for our batch are really a nice lot, even though they may be monotonous, lame, strict or hard to understand (their explanations to questions) sometimes. I don't feel that close with the Maths department though. I only cheered when the screen showed Mrs Leong. Yes, we'll respect Maths from now on ;-) Not forgetting to embrace our culture, like what Mrs Ho and our HCL teachers said. Mdm Goh and Ms Lim's words were so... typical of them? Yup... They have this style of talking, certain phrases that they use. Don't worry, I did open my ears big big and listen =) And oh, the Econs tutors were funny too, quoting us the hilarious mistakes students wrote in their scripts. But I think they made those mistakes up. Hardly any people would write 'by hook or by crook' into something like 'by food or by crook', if I didn't hear wrongly. Neither would many use 'dumplings' to replace some Econs terms. Haha I don't take Econs so I'm not too sure about those, but it was funny. The revised version of the song 'Under the Sea' sung by Mr Tong Yee and 2 other GP tutors was quite creative. I was laughing and clapping hard when I saw my tutors on the screen. It seems that I always do this when I actually feel upset. Ok, maybe it's more of... 伤感 and 不舍. Maybe I have this habit to mask my feelings like this, so that I won't cry.

Our LEP video was not bad too. Fang Yu was really creative to make use of the concept of rising price of oil and some Econs concepts to illustrate her short speech. The video brought back some memories, like 角色扮演, as mentioned by the sole scriptwriter/director/lead actor - Zhihuang. He still had the cheek to mention that! Always come up with nonsensical story plots that we all have to play along with. But it was fun. Am I the only one who enjoyed his nonsense and participating in his dramas? Haha~ But if not for him, I think we won't have established the Chen-Foo family, where Bishan is our mum, Zhihuang is the 1st son, Choo Kiat is the 2nd son and I'm the only and youngest daughter. Actually I do yearn for such brothers. I thank the Lord for giving me such a wonderful 'family'.

There was a photo-taking frenzy today. During our CT period, we were snapping pictures almost non-stop. Mrs Leong said she wasn't feeling well, so she didn't come for CT period. I kind of suspect that she actually didn't want to see us, for fear that she will 不舍得 us and cry. Just my speculation... Maybe that's an addition reason on top of her unwellness. During our LEP farewell party, I took photos of the teachers who delivered speeches, as well as Mrs Ho who came in later. Also took photos of caicai and Zhipeng when they were performing. Erm, I'm really at a loss of words... for caicai's dance... and rap... I didn't dare to watch after a while... Fortunately, she didn't dare to pull Zhihuang or Choo Kiat down to dance with her. Choo Kiat's face will probably catch fire, and as for Zhihuang, I think he'll do something, either to himself or caicai. As for Zhipeng... I'm impressed that he can actually dance Cyndi Wang's song so well. I have heard from others that he's good at that, but today, seeing is believing.

Omg, the radio is playing 《月光》 by 王心凌 now! *recalls Zhipeng's performance*

Ok, that was out of topic. Well, somewhat... Anyway, after school today, I finally mustered up enough courage to go Punggol Clinic. *sigh* When will my battle with acne and super active oil glands end? It's been like, 9 years? The first thing the doc asked me was how long have I been having acne problems. Must be my serious scarring and pitted holes that gave me away -_- I wonder if I will breakout from the medicine. Heard from my friends who went to the same clinic that they had breakout in the 1st month. 2nd month not so serious. 3rd month will see improvement. But I'm only left with less than 2 months to D&D! I don't want to turn up with a monstrous face *sobs* I'm praying hard that I won't suffer from serious breakout and my face will clear by the 2nd month. Hopefully the doc will give me some medication for scarring next month. Saw on Flowerpod forum that most people who visited Punggol Clinic found the doc unfriendly. Actually I find him ok. He sounded a bit rushed and he spoke quite fast and brief. But overall, I don't think he's a doc with attitude problem, as the people said in the forum.

To sum up today, I learnt a few things:
  1. Physics and Maths concepts can be applied in real life. Eg: Integrate 'life' by parts. Another eg: Inertia, Fleming's Left Hand Rule, Forces etc affect our lives. We must be like a moving charge, so that by FLHR, we will experience a force that pushes us forward.
  2. Match the performance items with the occasion. Pick relevant songs and make sure the performance is within your means of handling. No offence intended.
  3. Be more sensitive and careful in future. I walked off without realising that I was being rude to kezhang when he wanted to take our clique's photo. What happened was, after somebody helped us take a photo, kezhang said he wanted to take our photo too. Then I said wait, I go and check my camera see if our photo was captured just now, coz' sometimes my friends didn't press the 'shoot' button down fully. After that I think I forgot to walk back.. And the rest already walked away. I didn't do it on purpose... I think that was insensitive and rude of me but it can't be undone. I hope he didn't think I'm ostracising him, though I admit that sometimes I can't stand him. No harm intended.

Wah, this got to be my longest entry ever. I took 1 hour to type this entire post... Anyway, to all my friends, don't give up! Together we succeed!

rhapsody in blue.
