It’s always bittersweet you know.
I mean, cmon, its amazing that we’re finally finishing High School. Four years of our lives, two years of IB and hard work and sacrifice. I can finally see the finish line but somehow something makes me want to just stop running and just hang out for a bit. I…
Feeling exactly the same.
it’s weird because I remembered the first time I stepped into Singapore. With so little English and knowledge about what is considered ‘normal’ in this new environment, homesick because I felt so far away from comfort. But then from then I learned to enjoy the things that are currently around me, and luckily I found amazing friends, learnt new stuff academically, had a few crushes, got rejected, learned what work and what doesn’t in the world, had so much fun.
and the fact that it’s about to be over is kind of saddening.
I used to hate this city, because I was so far away from my family and old friends. Then I found more friends here, enjoyed the comfort of my amazing cousins who happily took me during my first year here. Then I loved this city. Then it got more and more crowded and I started hating it.
But now I realize what this city has done to me. What the amazing people around me have shaped me into.
And now that our little circle of trust and fun is parting, some going back to their home countries, some even further away to countries far far away. In the back corner of my mind, I can only start praying that, firstly we will all achieve our goals and become successful people, I can’t wish anything but for the best for all of these people I am heavily indebted to. and also I hope that, in the deep, little corner of their hearts, they will still remember me, remember high school and all of the fun that we had all these years.
What you guys wrote are so sweet…. I can’t believe this is ending though. The moment that I have been waiting for is coming too soon. It’ just around the corner and I don’t know whether to be happy or sad :( I know we are all going to different places! It’s insane isn’t it. Even meita, we started off with 3 similar unis then ended up with 1 only. And now, we’ll be *hopefully* in two different cities. Faaaar faaar away from each other :(
It never hits me how soon this will be. It never hits me that soon, I’ll wake up everyday not seeing any of you everyday, often-shitty-school, and all other people I like/dislike! This is the longest school I have ever been in. It already feel like home to me. I have met so many people along the way. I swear, all of you never make me bored of this school :3 :3 :3
I developed many interests. I tried many new things. I learned a lot from this school, from you guys. But you know what…..
3 months is a long time after all…. Let’s just embrace what we have. 3 months can be a normal ‘waste of time’ or it can be a very memorable 3 months. Let’s just use it well. Don’t dwell on the past. Don’t be too miserable about this separation. Because it’s not the end, it’s just the beginning…. Beginning of our so-called-true-life. Beginning of the cruel and unjust world that adults always talk about. After all, attending an international school (+ IB) should prepare us pretty well for this. Let’s taste more of those bittersweet experiences.
But of course, never forget to look back, know your roots & where you come from. Don’t forget your friends, whether it’s from your high school, middle school, or elementary. Life is too short to hate people. Life is too short to whine about things you don’t like. Suck it up and forgive people before we graduate!
The best thing of this journey, will be leaving with smiles, peace, & good memories.
All of you have such big role in my life, hope it will always be the same in the future. :3
p.s: we still have prom & grad trip to look forward too :3 although, frankly speaking, the small little things are the ones that I will remember most. But I still can’t wait for it :3 <3
