i'm so sorry i left the classroom without saying goodbye to many of you today. i don't want to make things even more saddening now, but i am compelled to recollect our memories together as oneSY and hopefully keep our class spirit burning in our soul.
so it was right at the beginning of this year, all of us stepped into the oneSY classroom feeling strange and perhaps confused. for me, recess had been a total chaos because i wasnt very used to seeing a whole sea of blue uniforms filling the canteen.. we were at first almost unknown, other then the SCGSP girls, to each other. guess what. i cant really remember much about what happened in term one.
so let's fast forward.
then came term two. remember the day mrs fern told us that she couldnt go on the malacca trip with us? we all felt sad and wondered why.. then she told us that she was pregnant.. the whole class got excited and everything!! and remember the first meal we had when we had gotten down the coach bus? it was DISGUSTING!! hahas. the insects and.. eurghs.. hahas. vanessa and leonora made us donate RM2 to the class fund cos we all decided on getting something for mrs fern!! hahas. in the end we got her this soft toy bear!! the three days in malacca was quite enjoyable and we DID bond then. it did pass us by very quickly.. on the way back to singapore and then back to school, we irritated miss tan with our songs and our cheers.. hahas. it was so funny!! and we even came up with a song for mrs fern while we presented the bear we got from malacca to her. she was so touched.. and miss heng actually saw us doing that!! hahas..
not long after that, we had our class cheer and class spirit competition. we practised till our throats went sore. we made sure we perfected every line. we did up our class banner.. the paint, the sequins, the newspapers, the paintbrushes. every stroke, every piece of thread, it was all for the love of our class. come to think of it, we havent seen much of that kind of class spirit anymore.
In the heart where friendship lies, the spirit of Sincerity never dies. i will never forget that. although our routine wasnt really much of a WOW but we know we worked hard for it and we all had fun doing that. then soon after that was the inter-class sports competition.. we had everyone screaming our lungs out for the competitors. and we had the best of it, bcos we won the competition. and that trophy, has natalie all over it cos she dropped it on the floor. now that dent in that trophy will have oneSY's name written all over it. hehs. the winning of that competition didnt just earn us a trophy, then came our PIZZA PARTY!! i'm still waiting for that photo that we took outside the home economics room from anyone who is able to scan it. hehs.
let's continue to fast forward. then came chinese talentime. the one that the class took less than two weeks to prepare, and surprisingly, we triumphed the other sec one classes. though we may have lost to twoCO but we were already very proud of ourselves to win something that was made up in a fluster. we'll have to thank the choreographer and the singers and all.. and best of all, the rest of the class for their support!! then soon came the debate which we became champions once again. this was quite unexpected because when it came down to oneSY against SE, none of us were from the debate CCA whilst the three candidates in SE were ALL debators. that was very UNBELIEVABLE. the more we should credit those debators who fought for our class!!
many things went on after the CA2. it was like a really LONG break for us wasnt it? that was the time when Uno cards regained its fame in schools again. after being away from oneSY for a whole month, we soon came back for term three. the term for revision. sigh. and then, we had changed our geography teacher from mrs mao to mr teo bcos she retired and miss jaime koh wasnt teaching anymore.. we had changed quite a few teachers then.. the piles of homework.. maths worksheets.. more theory lessons for science instead of practicals.. and we started our first term in art. term three seemed really short to me..
before we knew it, we entered term four. all of us were unaware of the last day of sch.. we only had a few weeks left. we studied and really mugged for our subjects. the pressure was intense. but it all paid off didn't it? the moment we finished our last paper, which was the HCL paper or english for mitali and davinia, we all felt like burning our textbooks.. going out and totally melt. but who knew.. we had this english talentime to worry about. we practised for only one week and performed today. it doesnt matter even if we didnt win. because, we all know we had enjoyed ourselves. especially the disney category. the ending was ABSOLUTELY fantastic. hahas. i dont know anything more to say.. these are vague memories of what oneSY went through this year.. i'll never forget the laughter, the songs, the cheers, the cries, the screams, our yellow class tee, the joy,
EVERYTHING we had together in 2005. i won't forget you, ever.
With this, we, one SY, conclude our sec one year in scgs.
loving oneSINCERITY,
Yi Ting.
