Going back to NYJC, I realise how much I missed my JC life. It was really fun with my OG12 peeps, 白云崗 gang and of course, my class 0635 =) True, there were times when things are shity and when studies are so stressed that you just wanna get out but... The company with me was just fabulous =)
I've always believed that I'm a very blessed girl =) When my grandma passed away in J1, I have gloria and 白云崗 gang by my side to give me support. When most of my 白云崗 gang graduated, I have my 0635 clique aka Mog clique and then Jasmine, my 同類人, by my side as I struggled, strolled, crawled, walked through my J2 year. Even so, I still have gloria with me and also my 白云崗 gang's support from outside school =) True, I don't miss the mugging part of JC life, which is really the hardest I've ever mugged before but... I miss the laughters we shared a lot.
Being a bio student in NYJC meant very strict discipline by the bio tutors. Every time before we enter LT2, our designated LT for bio lectures, girls will always be stuffing in the strings of the top then all will be checking for school badge, lecture notes and the overall appearance is decent. During lecture, we'll always be scribbling away and praying hard like nobody's business that we won't be called to regurgitate what we were ordered to memorised shortly before on the slides, sometimes within a few minutes, sometimes within 1 minute. When we get too focused on scribbling whatever is not on the notes, Ms Choong will suddenly raise her voice, shocking us and then saying that we got a shock cause we didn't pay attention. Then we'll look down and realise the long line we drew on our notes when we shocked by her. Then again, soon we got immuned to her suddenly raising of her voice and so she stopped. However, should we don't know how to answer any questions, the solution is always "Down (number according to CCA and gender)."
I remember Ms Choong calling,"Paul Zhang.", deliberately emphasising on the "Zhang" and then followed by giggles and laughters from our class. I remember the lame comment from Mrs Ng, "Then the fly will die as a virgin." and she later complained to us that Mr Neo scolded her for being lame. I remember SP stuttering in tutorial class when Mrs Tan questioned him about she hearing from Ms Ding that he's scared of her. I remember Ms Ding always ganna suaned by us like for not watching documentaries when the entire class watch it and has general knowledge of things she doesn't.
I remember the -5 on Wenkai's essay's overall marks and my -1 on my essay's overall marks. I remember we all cursing like mad bout Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide or Deoxyribonucleic Acid and we had to memorised it before being allowed to write "(NADH)" or "(DNA)". I remember going "Wah..." when I hear somebody pass bio exams. I remember the disappointment bio marks always gives me. I remember getting fascinated by evolution theories and I still am. I still have my 2 books of bio notes with me. Honestly, bio classes had been really memorable in spite of all the fear we sometimes feel for the subject and tutors =)
I remember we're always asking one another what we wanna eat during the break later even before the tutorial class starts. I remember the "Fine $1 if you never bring dictionary." for GP classes. I remember Mrs Lim, our lovely GP tutor =), saying,"All your (entire class) fault for making me cannot get pregnant! Make my blood boil (cause many in the class never do tutorials or never bring dictionary)!" and I have to stop myself from laughing. I remember the sofa class for CT lesson and also where we mugged and go crazy for night study.
I remember bio consulation when me, laogong and yirou started going crazy by talking bout possible crazy people naming their kids enzyme names like Helicase, Topoisomerase and calling them for dinner. I remember doing embarrassing things in front of my EC that I just wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. I remember freezing away in LT4 during chemistry lecture due to being designated to sit at the very first and bottom row and also due to the theory of Cold air sinks. I remember rehearsing with my 白云崗 gang in J1. I remember having actions for the school song which we learnt in J1 orientation. I remember scaring the hell out of my acting crew as a bloody strict and fierce director in J2 with Jasmine. I remember pushing my own limits for acting for the very first Chinese Drama SYF in J2......
I really really miss JC life when things are much simpler and so was I. The main goal then was just A'Level though it almost drived me crazy. But we just have to move forward, don't we? After all, time and tide waits for no man. It's been 2 years since I graduated and I've once again, matured a lot. Despite of that, when I wore the JC uniform, I actually felt very comfortable in it and when we were slacking around, I actually felt a hint like it was a break or something. I guess I've already reached and perhaps, long passed the stage whereby people will start to wish to turn back time and be young again. But it's okay, I'm moving and looking forward =) As I said, I'm a blessed girl and I truely am =) Appreciate the little things in life, people! And live life with no regrets =)
Like the rising fountain,
Our ardent hopes reach to the sky.
But the fountain stands alone,
Though not you and I.
For together we plan,
Together we build,
A firm foundation is our stand.
United our course,
Forward we march,
Our College's name proclaim!
Like the graceful palm tree,
We stand together strong and free.
Yet the palm tree stands alone,
A lonely sight to see.
For together we plan,
Together we build,
A firm foundation is our stand.
United our course,
Forward we march,
Our College's name proclaim!
I'm a proud NYJCian =)
