28/5/2014 - The last day of Grade 11 first semester.
So it was the last day of my Grade 11 first semester today, we had parties in different classes and also, a last assembly of the semester, which was really really memorable. When I woke up this morning, I actually thought that today will be a happy day because we are finally done with all our assignments and there will be parties in some classes too. But then, I started thinking that there are also some students and teachers who are leaving as this semester ends. I was like, oh I should bring my sharpies to school today so I can leave my autograph on my friends' uniforms.
So during the first period, they played the graduation song -- Friends Forever.
I didn't actually know about the front part of the song, I actually thought it'll gonna be like some songs that make us high.
But then, it wasn't.
When I heard the chorus, I stunned.
I heard this song before, it was so touching.
We took photos in every period before leaving every class, except Marketing :P
Ms. Frei told us how guilty she feels every end of the semester because of not being able to throw a party on the last day of school due to English exam on the next day.
Oh well, true too.
During Psychology class, Ms. G talked with the whole class.
She said, "The key to happiness is to be grateful."
I truly agreed with that.
Knowing the fact that some students and teachers are leaving actually sadden me.
You'll never know when you'll be meeting them again.
But after all, you'll still be grateful that at least, you've known each other in your life.
At least, they left some remarks in your memories.
Oh well, people come and go.
We had some pizzas and sparkling in class.
We gave a card and a photo to Ms. G too.
We surrounded her when she opened the card and the photo.
We wanted to make her read all those words that we've written in the card but she didn't, she said she couldn't do that because she'll cry and it'll be unstoppable.
I'd like to see her cry tho, hahaha it shows that how pro we are to make her cry :P
Tbh, I guess I'll probably cry too if she cries.
I nearly cried when we gave a her group hug.
I actually wanted to cry before the assembly started because I saw Ms. K was hugging other teachers and crying.
There were some awesome videos being played during the assembly and it was really really nice.
So much memories being played on the screen and I truly missed those times.
They invited some teachers up to the stage, Ms. K, Ms. G, Mr. Jamie, Ms. Hronsky and Mr. Avilla.
They were sitting on the stage and other teachers talked about how they felt about them.
I cried for Ms. K, Mr. Jamie and Ms. G.
These three teachers have taught me throughout these 3 semesters in SIS.
They're really really good teachers.
Ms. K was the teacher that made me love Science.
I actually hated Science a lot.
But then since I had Science in Grade 10, I love Science.
She taught us really well and I really understand a lot.
As for Mr. Jamie, he was my Function teacher.
He was also the teacher that went to Pulau Kapas with us.
He's able to differentiate my sister and I by looking at the way we smile, probably because of my teeth. :P
He gives me High 5 whenever he sees me.
And... Ms. G, the SAP teacher.
At first I didn't really like her because I didn't know her well.
But after that, I realized that she's actually a fun person.
Throughout this whole semester, we talked to her in class by applying those theories that we've learned in class.
It was really fun.
She laughs at our jokes and sometimes she joins us too.
I was regret that I didn't attend to those activities that she held for girls hostel students.
If I could turn back time, I'd attend the activities and spend more time with her.
I'm gonna miss her laugh so badly.
At the end of the assembly, Mr. Avilla also talked to all of us.
He told us what he has learned in his life. (Sort of)
It was also kinda like his advices for all of us.
He talked about his life and it made me cry at the end.
Well not only me, most of us.

I cried so badly and I felt like my eyes were swollen, maybe i exaggerated about it.
So much sadness in one assembly, oh I can't imagine how next semester, my last semester, would be.
Well I've also realized that teachers are like our second parents.
They educate us, they provide us knowledge.
Although there are times when you don't like some teachers, you still gotta admit that they've made some impacts in your life.
There were also some questions in my mind.
Why do we regret when we lose something or someone special?
Why do we regret about things that we have or haven't done?
Why do we only realize the importance of some people when they're gone?
It's kinda suck to have these feelings you know.
Regret of what has passed is not good.
I didn't know why I cry, probably because of the atmosphere.
Probably just because of the fact I'm not gonna see some of them in this school anymore.
And actually I might be meeting those teachers again when I study in Canada, but I think the chances will be small.
Idk, but hopefully.
Idk when will I meet those friends again, there will be so much ways for them to choose after leaving this school.
Idk, what I know is that, next semester will be different without them.
And here's the lyrics of the graduation song, Friends Forever.
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
And we would get so excited and we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
[1]
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels
[Repeat 1]
La, la, la, la:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la:
We will still be friends forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us around?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
[Repeat 1 (3x)]
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
