Graduated and School-less

Graduation Ceremony 2012 in Hai Sing Catholic School in our Graduation Gowns

It's the end of school in Hai Sing Catholic School and we're all on our tough and perilous journey to find the next school for ourselves. Merely 7 days before the start of the torrent of GCE 'O' Level Examinations for a whole 3 weeks!

It has truly been a wonderful and eye-opening experience for me in Hai Sing and I have learned much from my 4 years in this school.

All the friends I made, I hope, will remain my friends for many decades to come, especially those who are so close to my heart.

The teachers in Hai Sing have been very kind and caring, teaching us not only the respective subjects but also nurturing us to be young adults, imbibed with the correct moral values. Whenever we falter, they help us get back on our feet. Whenever we make mistakes, they are quick to admonish us so that we will learn the consequences of our actions.

I feel that the school has been a safe haven for us students because if we make mistakes, we are only punished within the school. However, once we are out there in the harsh and cold world full of poor, unfortunate souls, we are exposed to the wrath of the law. And shall I say, no one wants to mess with the law in Singapore. Once convicted, forever destroyed, irregardless of the yellow ribbon campaigns that have been around since I could last remember.

Many of us will remember the times when the Disciplinary Master and his subordinates never fail to catch us for whatever little misdeed we committed, including the infamous long hairstyles, cockroach feelers, pin up your hair and pull up your socks! But I feel that these little things will forevermore be etched within our hearts and will bring back the nostalgia when we look back at the 4 years we spent during our time in Hai Sing.

The littlest things, especially the happenings in the classroom, to me, contain the most sentimental value because many things that changed our lives happened in that very room which we were so used to, which almost became our second home. The classroom is a place where the occasions that are close to the heart happened; a birthday, a reprimanding from a teacher, teasing of friends and many more... Also, not forgetting the person who had been sitting next to you for an entire year, you and your partner will definitely share some common experiences and have sentimental attachments once we bid each other farewell.

Whatever the case may be, I just feel very sorrowful to have to leave my beloved classmates and teachers and my secondary school life for good. I can actually see why some people refuse to graduate and remain retained in the school. Moreover, with each day passing by, the closer we find ourselves to the oh-so-dreadful O-Levels. 

I am truly grateful for what the school had provided me during my study in Hai Sing. A place to study, a place to meet my friends, a place to do crazy things. The canteen, no matter how dark and gloomy it seems, always keeps us full (during recess). The foyer, no matter how much it looks like a clinic, kept us together just before boarding a bus for a learning journey. The hall, no matter how small and crowded, gave us a place for celebration, worship and praise. "Thank you, Hai Sing. May the Lord bless you and your students and students to be."

The teachers who loved us so dearly:
Mrs Karen Wong (Fah) - Form and English Teacher
Ms Suhaila Mansor - Form, Co-Form, E-Math and A-Math Teacher
Mr Rafi - Co-Form, E-Math and A-Math Teacher
Mr Jeffrey Quek - Co-Form Teacher
Mdm Yasmine - English Teacher
Mrs Daisy Kee - English Teacher
Mr Zhao Sen 赵森！- Chinese Teacher
Ms Lindy Ong - E-Math and A-Math Teacher
Mr Evan Toh - Pure Physics Teacher
Ms Bharathi Jayakumaran - Pure Biology Teacher
Mr Mukmein - Pure Biology Teacher
Mrs Sharon Kang - Pure Chemistry Teacher
Mdm Kang Jew Koon - Elective Social Studies Teacher
Ms Nurhirwana - Elective Geography Teacher

There are many friends who loved, cared, tortured and tormented me whom I will cherish forevermore in my heart.

TOO MANY TO LIST! forgive me~

In our lives, we can only meet so many people so, we MUST love them as they should love us and believe that we will never forget each other no matter how far we may part.

Of course, there's much more to talk about. But it's nearly impossible to mention everything.  The memories created during the short span of four years in Hai Sing Catholic School will be in my heart forever and ever and always till the end of time.
