Yeah,i'm 14 days late...so what? :P
Hmm,so it's 2009 already eh?
Honestly speaking,2008 has been pretty much a blur to me.I guess all that studying for SPM must've fried my brain.Even now,I'm still painstakingly trying to erase all the rubbish I've been taught throughout the 5 years of my high school life.Mitochondria!HCl!Newton's Third Law of Motion! Okay,i'll stop being a geek now.
I guess I'll remember 2008 as the year I stepped out from the confines of the same scenery I've been stuck with for the past approximately 1825 days of my life.I wouldn't say it is a joyous occasion,yet it leaves me with this weird feeling.The feeling of not waking up at 6 am,not standing on the fields every Monday morning with half-open eyes while singing our national anthem,not seeing the same old teachers that we're so familiar with,and of course not being with the people we used to always hang out with.It just feels..weird.
It's funny how I once wished that I could gradute from high school asap,but now that it's happened,how I'd give anything to bring it back.Ironic eh?But that's just life doing it's job.
If I were to compare going through high school life to something,I'd compare it to a seedling.We all started out as helpless,vulnerable,naïve(well,most us anyway) prone to the many obscurities of life.With a lil bit of sunshine and water(our family and teachers I guess),we start to sprout.The growth of our stem (No kids,this is not a bio experiment) signifying our appetite to reach for something higher,a goal for something big while our roots symbolize our effort in trying to anchor ourselves into these unfamiliar grounds,finding a place where we belong.
Spring comes along,and more seedlings start to sprout.You can see all sorts of seeds.Apples,durians,papayas,you name it.Each with its own unique distinctiveness.These seedlings start to help one another in getting through this whole cycle.
Then we start growing and growing,maturing as time goes by.
Leaves start to grow,flowers bloom and our effort bear fruits.
In the end,after braving countless harsh winters,enduring merciless disasters,we come out stronger than ever,ready to take on the world.
Ok,this post has been put off for wayyyyy too long,so I finished it off in a rush.Sorry if it doesn't make any sense hahaha.
So yeah,another year,another chapter closes.I'm not really excited about 2009,but oh well,we'll see what happens.I hope 09 will treat me nicely and bring a better year filled with boisterous moments and unforgettable memories =)
Goodbye high school,you shall be missed.
