I know this is really outdated, but I really wanted to find some time to sit down &blog about my 'official' last day in TKG. Simply because its called, Graduation Day.

A simple, but meaningful day for all of us, Sec4s. I know I've said this a million kzillion times now, but its really amazing how four whole years just flew past. Four memorable years, four wholesome years, four years in TKG is more than just words, its a lifetime filled with memories deeply etched in our minds, its like candy floss; so sweet and satisfying.

First of all, I would like to thank the teachers which made me who I am today, though not a 'accomplished young woman' but, I'm proud to say I've mature quite a bit through the years. Some have definitely made a huge impact in my life, but no doubt, all made a footprint.
Ms Lee, my inspiration for amaths, who continues to encourage me despite the constant disapointments.
Ms Ngin, who with her agape love, &utmost concern urge us to do our best in everything we do. To shine; because in every apple, there is a star that shines.
Ms Ho, who is more than just my chem teacher with her frequent concern on how i'm doing in my normal school days, and on other subjects, &even asking me for recipes for cookies and everything else.
Mdm Tan, the one who's so strong minded, who gives us good advices on life issues, &went through every wednesday chinese remedial lessons with only alyssa and me. Ohman, it must have me a torture for her :/
Ms Sim &Ms Ng, who sacrificed most of their dating time (haa, joking) just to make sure their Sec Four girls are doing fine, &surviving.
Mdm Hassan, who deserves my utmost respect, for being such a dedicated teacher, making sure we understand every thing that she taught clear with no grey areas, yet make lessons so enjoyable and unforgettable.
Ms Wong, who updates oli &me on the latest current affairs, because busy kids like us nowadays do not have time to read the newspaper everyday. Alright, I'm just lazy(: &expanding my general knowledge of issues happening and policies implemented in Singapore.
Ms Ang, who has such good temper that she hardly ever gets angry when we make a whole load to noise during her lessons. Who never got angry because, we sometimes disrespect her as a teacher, but thats because she's just like a friend to us. As in, we can just talk about anything under the sun, &yeah, sometimes the manner we(I) talk can get a little carried away.
Mr Ang, who makes English lessons so fun because of his frequent use of sarcasm, &amusing jokes!
Mrs Chan who still comes to me asking how I'm doing despite not teaching me for two years now.
Zeng Lao Shi who keeps talking to me at the bus stop about how sec four life is so stressful and i got to take care &everything.
Mr Ho, my boyfriend! Who somehow never fail to make me laugh hysterically, and allows me shout his name out loud no matter where i am.
Mrs Hoy was despite her bulging stomach still came to school and suffer in the marketplace (our class), its amazing how she survived th terrible noise everyday you know. But she was still always patient with us when we ask questions(:
Uncle Dolla, who in his own way was a great teacher too. I remember the times when he stood outside the classroom talking to me about his family and children, telling me that we must treasure them now. When the school was ulu &he'll wait for all of us to leave before he could. Then the way he greets me "Helllo Chairman!!" (I still dont know why though) or the times when he'll sing and count the beats during combine. Though most of the time he speaks to me in Malay, but surprisingly, I understood most of what his saying, most of th time(:

Not sure if i missed out any, but yess. I guess these teachers really made a difference in my life in tk. I thankful to have teachers like them(:

Secondly, I'll really miss the people in TK. From band friends, to section mates, to batchmates, to classmates, to mep friends, or even to friends whom I've never thought our paths would ever cross, but we did.

So singing 'If We Hold On Together' with Mrs Kong, with the teachers, was so touching the moment the first line came up, I could feel th tears in my eyes welling up. Then, looking at Mdm Hassan up on stage made it only worst, &as the words began to flow into me, I remember the sudden realization that TKGS is really the place for me, liqin. Its filled my mind with so many wondrous memories, &though we may complain alot about how poor our school is and how lousy the facilities are, but one must admit the friends made in TKG is irreplacable(: &If i were to rewind th video, this journey of four years which I've undertaken, &go back to the day when I had to hand in the 6 choices of secondary schools after the PSLE, I'll still put TKGS as my first choice.

Then the time to sing our school song for th very last time arrived, &with pride, we sang the school song proud &with meaning.
We cannot all be heroes and thrill a hemisphere
We're not all blessed with beauty, not everyone with brain.
But, i think we've created an identity for ourselves(:

Throughout the whole ceremony, as who we are naturally, girls. We had our share of tears, with people finishing their entire packet of tissue, and people dabbing their cheeks with torn tissue papers simply cause one piece wasnt enough to wipe away all the tears. Heh. But I kept most of my tears in, &I know that, it'll be the happy memories which remain close to my heart.

I love TKGS with all my heart &soul<333
