Move.

As I read blogs and talk with people, i have heard various reviews from different people. All about coming to the VIP that is.

Honestly, coming here was the best decision of my life.

I still remember the day when I got back my PSLE results. Not enough to get into the school i wanted. I was really sad. My family had pinned all hopes on me to get there, but i didn't. I thought all was lost. How ironic, cuz this whole thing was sort of like a blessing in disguise.

I went on to Victoria. I wasn't really that keen to be honest. The first day of school was bad, i really wasn't sure of what i was looking for. Mr Ang, Mr Chia and Mr Maran all talked to us, the freshmen, but i still felt that this wasn't the right place for me. I didn't particularly like my teacher either. Everything seemed lost indeed.

A few months went by and things got better. I made more friends. For those who would know, the Victoria Challenge was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. It made me look at my school in a whole new perspective. My whole class, worked together as one, and we accomplished our challenge as one. My class was the AEP class. So our project looked really good. We then moved to Siglap Link as well. It was a really great experience. I felt that I had played a big part in Victoria moving to her new home.

Things got better indeed. I made closer ties with my classmates and I had a much better time in school. i adapted to secondary school life.

I was also doing well in my CCA and that made life better.

Sec 2 came. It was the supposedly important year, with the streaming and stuff. I knew the school much better and i loved it more. I had great times with friends and added responsibilities as well, as i became the monitor of my class.

I remember the days when my friends (inclusive of aaron ng and a few others) and me, we used to steal the tennis balls from the courts and play along the corridors. We always use to get caught by Daniel Ong, Nazri, Vishi etc. We then changed our playing location to the 7th floor corridor. I still remember the day the ball fell into the pond. Mr Chia went in to get it and he fell into the pond. lolx.

I applied for NJC and for the VIP, the VIP being my preferred choice. In the end when the results came out i didn't know what to do. ONe part of my mind told me to stay in VS, to become a student leader and excel in my studies. The other told me to go to NJ. THhe other to the VIP. My sister told me that NJ sucked big time and i wasn't that keen in going there either. So that was ruled out. I finally decided to go to the VIP. I did want to stay back at VS. I wanted to learn and explore more, something that I would have never learned in VS.

I am sad that i left but I am much happier now, after spending more than 8 months in the VIP. I have met people from many different schools, i have learnt to accept many different views. There are the people i hate, but they'll always be there and i have to learn to live with them.

So, to all those out there who think you have made the wrong decision: i don't really care about your opinion. But all i want to say is that, move on. Stop thinking about the past. You'll have to move on at one point or another. Learn to forget and to move on. I still miss VS, but i have learnt to accept and to live and to love my new surroundings. Not necessariily love, but still enjoy my self to the fullest.

move on.
