Blog, blog and BLOG! Haha sorry guys I realise I've just neglected my memories for a month because of exams and OBS (Outward Bound School). I swear I've tried to write something during exam period but it just didn't seem to click. I try not to post crappy stuff for all of you here to read so BE GRATEFUL!
Anyways...
Exams went quite well and I'm quite satisfied with my internals. I read my teacher's assessments yesterday and was quite please with it. For once my parents didn't grouch because all my teachers were generous with the superlatives. YES! Big thank you to all of them! Hopefully my AS exams will come out fine in August. Hoping for perfect scores in all my maths papers and an A in Eng. Lit. Frankenstein so I won't need to resit... AND YES I HOPE I AT LEAST SCRAPE A 1 GRADE IN STEP II! God I've worked so hard for it that it'll be a huge DISAPPOINTMENT if I don't get a 1. Grade S is just too much to hope for... Ish... Seriously if there is the only one thing I really want this year, its that 1 grade in STEP II. And maybe if I'm feeling greedy some other things... haha.
On to OBS, Outward Bound School. Some of you might not have heard of it but its a lonely outpost in Lumut and Pulau Pangkor where we KTJ Sixth Formers get a dose of the rough world out there in the form of jungles, beaches and swamps all in the space of ten days. Its certainly been a memorable experience, both physically and mentally. I WOULD mind a lot to go again but will recommend that all you youngsters out there attend at least ONCE to get a feel of it. Trust me, you won't regret it... Heck C.J.'s been there for six freaking times and he's still planning to go back. The jungle trekking, kayaking, rope course and solo camping expeditions really tested my physical and mental limits (I'm not really religious so I'm going to omit that limit) but it help me open up more as a person. I realised that sometimes, you just need to trust other people to pull you through when you need that extra need. Sometimes my best just isn't enough and I'll just have to put faith in others to offer an olive branch. And they did. I'm grateful that I've had excellent Watch members and Instructor to aid me through the 10 days course. My most sincerest thank you to Ijan, Aisha, Amira, Joanne, Nadira, Pam, Yan, Fadhil, Khairul, Michael, Surein, Wei Rhong and Yaser, all of Kinabalu Watch for (yes I'm going to say this again) bearing with me through out the whole course. Your support and words during hotseat really means a lot to me and I'll try my very best to do something about myself. Oh yes guys watch out for my letter to myself during OBS solo camping. Due in six month's time. I'll make sure to type it out and post it up here for all to see haha.
The ending of OBS signals the end of the 2nd term in KTJ for me. I'll be doing a recap in a very near future post but would like to take this chance here to extend my best wishes to all the leaving Upper Sixers. Special mention goes to Ibi, Chia Hsien, Leong Hoo, Naresh, Jit, Sabrina, Hui Shurn, Sam, Wee Shen, Lingesh, Yi Chieh, Jacky and Lee Feng. Thank you all for everything through out the last six months. I really appreciate it. All the best when the results are out in August and your university life. I hope that all of you will achieve what you desire and lead a contented life. Also best of luck to the leaving Lower Sixers (!) Alison, Duwi, Gayathri and Michael. You are all very bright people who have gone on to pursue your dreams elsewhere and I wish all of you the very best in your future endeavours. I'm sure if you work to your fullest potential, you can reach the greatest heights imaginable. Please do keep in touch and may God bless all of you...
A final salute goes to Amira, who I feel have done a great job with our Sixth Form jersey. Be assured that pictures of it will be posted up soon for you to ogle over! Congratulations on a job well done Amira, and my heartiest thanks. It was an enormous task but you pulled it off nonetheless. Kudos! If you do read this please forward my thanks to your brother Reza too for helping us so much in the design of the logo and the orders. I hope that this small post will in a little way compensate for the thankless hours you toiled to make the jersey project a huge success. Thank you once again.
I think this is more than enough for one post and I'll leave the rest for next time. I hope I didn't bore all of you with the endless ramblings and 'thank you's but it seemed appropriate that these people gets mentioned here as they have really done a lot for me. To the rest who didn't get mentioned, be assured that you are not forgotten and remain very much close to my heart. And finally, a largely un-melancholic post for all of you faithful readers haha. I might be able to maintain this change of mood for some time yet!~Zhongy~
