graduation day

5 years of high school has finally come to an end. Today is the last formal day of school, and everyone in my class partied together, for the last time as students. It really was a celebration. A few girls went out with our Biology teacher, Pn Lesmy, (who also celebrates her birthday today!) to Pizza Hut and ordered 7 pizzas. So we had a great feast of pizzas and laughter during class.

It was really fun...but I could tell that everyone felt sad that we are not going to see each other wearing those silly uniforms, gossiping about teachers, and spending time in class as students anymore. Ying brought up about our Form 2 year when we were best friends and did many funny and silly things, and somehow I got over emotional and cried. Gosh, how humiliating... Anyway, Yee Shien brought her digital cam over and we took many group photos. After crapping and just making fun of each other, we wished each other good luck and goodbyes...

Tomorrow is prize-giving day, and also the last day at school before SPM. No matter what people say, I'll always think that high school years are the best times of our lives... That's when you learn, make mistakes, learn from mistakes, and finally become a mature person. Scary, truly scary. One thing I know for sure, I'll cherish those times in school and forever remember my friends and teachers. Sigh...why does this have to end so fast? I don't want to grow up so fast, to go to another foreign country for Foundation Studies next year. Right now, sitting in class listening to a boring teacher babble seems pretty inviting. haha.

I realy hope all of us 5S1-ers will keep in touch and not forget each other when we're all adults and successful in life. haha. I wonder what we'd be in the future... who knows what might happen and who will turn out to be. So many questions...yet so little answers.

Here's a song all graduates know.

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends forever

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Will Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

La, la, la, la
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la
We will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

"Ahem. Teacher, it means - skirt fly up, see flesh. Get it?"
