I read the entries by Inez and Qiyin, and I got so touched and scared at the same time… Here we are, proving that we are people who CARE for each other instead of being A-grade obsessed, so I sure hope that this PROVES we have compassion and consideration for the people around us. We are not self-centred and I hope that all of us will make it through…

Hopes were high, at least for the start
E’s aside, everyone was aiming for A’s and distinctions
Looking back, I guess we put our hopes too high
Perhaps we forgot, junior college has never been a subset of secondary school

U’s and S’s showered heavily upon us for mid years
Shocked faces were seen across, but who really was to blame?

Papers too tough, or was it a case of not enough effort being put in?
Racing thoughts and minds were observed, as people sat down to reflect
Oh god, did I make the right choice?
Mistakes were unravelled, but is it too late to turn back?
Of course it is, some others say , but
Though too late it is,we never succumbed to the pressure of failure, cause
EVERYBODY WORKED HARD AS WE MOVED TO PROMOS!!!

Following this, is it justifiable if someone retains because he did not sit for three months? Efforts were put in, and I can account for that as I observed my surroundings. People studying, staying for consultations and night-study programmes, those are evidence that we are putting in the effort. I personally feel that it is not right if someone retains just because he did not do well for mid years or CA…

As time passes by, its getting nearer and nearer to the day we get our results back. Hearts are bound to break that’s for sure, but I have just one plea, I want all the COUNCILLORS, ALL 34 of THEM, and ALL MY CLASSMATES to promote up to J2.. reasons??

For the councillors, I have been through thick and thin with them since April. Though I have to acknowledge that I had a rough start with the council and that I was already wounded the moment I did not get a certain post I wanted sooo much, I have grown to accept that and move on. I’ve worked with the councillors, and be it bitter or sweet, I think that I have cherished all those moments I’ve been with them. They put in sooo much effort into helping the school, even having to sacrifice other things like family or even studies, but they really put in their best, thus I feel that we all SHOULD MOVE UP as one whole.. we are like a family knitted closely together, and it will feel very awkward if we’re missing even ONE of our counterparts.. what’s more, although I CHOOSE to believe we will all move up together, there’s always the bitter truth out there that hurts so much…

For my classmates in 0706, JUST LIKE COUNCIL, we’ve been through soo much as a whole class.. and though we kinda slacked for the mid years, I must say we did put In our best effort moving towards term 3 and 4… we redeemed ourselves, and I must say I LOVE THIS CLASS TO BITS as the people there are just such wonderful people with personalities so cool and cheerful it would be almost impossible to hate anyone in my class.. I want my class to be the way it is now, I want ALL of us to promote, for even if one of us were to retain, the class will just not be the same anymore…

I hate this feeling… really…. =S Oh god, I pray to you that you answer our prayers and help us through times like these….

And anyways, qiyin, I agree with you on ur entry. Its just ironic how we're supposed to perform the mass dance as "the highest point" for us when some of us will be at the lowest point of our lives... wow emotions will run high, and I sure am scared as friday moves in... =(

once again, god please help us through this....
