It's over...

First of all.... Oh YESSS my exams are finally over! And so is my year one DBS odyssey! :D I was feeling so happy after the lecturer says time's up... I know it's weird but it's just that I somehow feel this weight on my shoulder just... Fly away freely. I feel free! I feel happy, I feel relieved, knowing that I wouldn't have to spend the next few days like studying something. In fact, next few weeks! Yay or what.

Anyway after the paper, went to eat lunch with some of the DBS 1.5 peeps. Most of them left already so yeah, but we stayed cause we have the FOP briefing, which I decided to drop out cause I realised it's one week before school starts. So went to watch the Simpsons instead with Hari! Haha, and then we headed for Jurong point for a movie.

I Am Number 4 is awesome! Nice plot but... Very abrupt and weird ending I guess? I seriously can't wait for I Am Number 5 or something like that. They better have it. Headed to Niv's house for the BBQ, but... I left my EZ link card on the Cinema counter! So me and Lizzie had to go back there to take it. Thanks a lot Liz for accompanying me there! :D

BBQ-ed from then on till about 9 or so. We decided to cook everything and then eat it together. So some of us took turns to cook. The guys cooked in the beginning, then followed by the girls. The food is so yummy! I love Nivedha's mum prawns! It's so tangy and nice. Syazwan's mum chicken wings are also nice. Yum yum. But anyway then we played some games, sing, talk, and of course reminiscing about our Year one days.

It's funny huh, it's like that's all for my year one? Wow. Time flies really fast. But I've never realised how fun, and tiring poly life can be. I've proven it myself. Poly does not equate to slacking. Yes it's less tough than JC. But it doesn't mean we slack 24/7. Look, I'm already washed out by my 4 exams even though they're spread out in 2 weeks. So, here I am a poly student, telling you poly isn't EASY either :)

But my year one has been wonderful. Thanks to my lovely class, DBS 1.5. Today's BBQ just made me realise how much I'll miss this fabulous class(es) when we all go to year 2. We're all separating into our own ways (except those going research ^^). But still, there will be no more DBS 1.5 2010-2011. It's all in our memories now. There's no way we can relive each moment to an EXACT feeling, exact moment.

We can still meet up, but this DBS 1.5 experience will only go to our hearts. Time will carry them, but it will not relive them in reality.

That's the reason why I'm sad.

But year one had been wonderful. Those days, the flag days, the lunch we had at Koufu (at the beginnings), going to FOP, going to this and that, all the outings we had after every exams, they are all good memories which I will always treasure. And joining band - a decision I never regret. Even though I fear that I might not cope with my studies, I will try my best to balance everything so that I can still attend both next year and on 3rd year.

Year one, to sum it all, is like a box of sweets. Box of sweets which contain sweets you love, and sweets you hate. Pick them up, if you get the ones you love, you eat it with joy. If you get sweets you hate, pick them up, and still eat it. Even though you don't know whether you're going to pick up a sweet you hate, you will still take it, because it's a challenge. And when you face a challenge, you pick them up and face them, and overcome them.

I have mixed feelings about going to Year 2. Firstly I'm excited about research. I want to go there, and I want to get the feel of how is a research life going to be. Secondly I'm afraid. It's another level and I'm sure it's gonna be tougher. Lastly, I'll be in a new class. Of course, I'll miss my DBS 1.5 but well, life gotta move on.

Year one has been wonderful thanks to some people around me. Even though yes I did feel bitterness of it, and sometimes a tinge of pain that wrenches my heart, I guess I've learnt, and I've grown from them.

To all my friends, I wish you all the best for your year 2 and 3 endeavour. I'll definitely miss you. To my classmates, good luck as well, and I'll miss those days we had together. But please remember to keep in touch aye!

Alright I need to bathe now, my body stinks of smoke from the BBQ haha. I'll be meeting Sharon and gang tomorrow :D So yep. And getting my new lens as well hohoho. Alright see ya!
