7/22/09
And so, the 22nd of July came after all (after much hype maybe?).
Honestly, i was taken aback when they announced that we are going to step down earlier than usual this year.
And with all the H1N1 thingy going on, the atmosphere just wasn't right for an important occasion like this (at least to us).
But anyway, the 25th SC has (finally) said our last goodbyes after a crazy and exciting term of office that spanned over a period of close to a year.
On a personal note, i wasn't feeling anything or had much things to said and reflect upon.
Partly because i wasn't feeling well during the entire ceremony, but mostly because i took the 25th for granted.
They make up close to 3/4 of my JC life, and the strong bonds forged within are not something that can be replaced easily. And who can ever forget the wonderful memories when we went through thick and thin together as we took on the different events/occasions.
There's one thing i will keep in mind always:
the simple fact that we are the 25th SC.
Back to the point. Perhaps all the time we've spent together made me felt that the day of us stepping down is still far away. That was the attitude i had throughout today, which of course was entirely wrong.
I tried to get into the correct mood, but i just couldn't. Because i was sick? Because i was denying the fact that all these will be gone? I don't know.
Nevertheless, thank you to all the teachers and the entire 25th SC for the countless reasons i can come up with. I may not show it, but i really mean it.
And of course, thanks to God for placing me in there in the first place and the entire journey, right from the start when i picked up the application form to the 22nd of July.
天底下无不散之席. 这一切也终算圆满地落幕了.
