Hi guys. It feels like forever since my last post. Yeah, its only been a day, but yeah. Anyway, this is gonna be a rather picture intensive post, with pics all the way back from Sec 2, because I recently found the cable to connect my phone to the comp lol. Oh, and me phone is old, so picture resolution sucks. I still remember the day when everyone swarmed around me shouting "Wa, N70, let me see!".

Pfft.

The main thing that i want to say is to Ye Oon, and Haozhi's parody group, good luck for whats ahead. You guys managed what I failed at, both ACCALship and Lit Parody.

But mostly to Ye oon, i hope you will make the most out of this opportunity.

To be completely HONEST, I went through a really wide range of emotions. When I heard that Ye Oon and Dhivian were called back for 2nd round of interviews, my first feeling was fear. Yes, it was the basic fear that I had really lost my chance to become ACCAL. The next thing that followed was that people say that "I'm damn sad." They weren't suanning me, just saying that they felt sad for me, because a number of them knew that I really wanted to be ACCAL.

So thanks, Jerry, Wen Zheng, Manfred, Sufyan.

At that point, the mood had swiftly changed to slightly emo, as guys were talking about the ACCALship. I was also feeling slightly frustrated, and as with all rivalries, whether friendly or not, jealous. Shaun was also clearly going through the same emotions as me, except that he showed it more explicitly. I was frustrated, that after 3 years, and me trying really hard from this year onwards, I still failed. I wasn't even called back to do interviews in the 2nd round.

The group activity managed to cheer me up a bit though. The next emotion that I felt was just pensiveness. I just kept quiet a lot. When Ye oon and Dhivian came out from their 2nd round of interviews, I just shook their hands and sincerely wished them good luck. There wasn't jealousy, only a bitter aftertaste lingering in my heart.

But, we are all on the same team. On the MRT back home, I met Havin. We had a nice long talk about results in school, CCA matters etc. He was in the top 5 people to be chosen for top 5 positions in NCC. I wished him good luck as well. On the bus home (yeah, MRT no go straight my house lol), I just thought about the time I spent in NPCC ever since I really decided I wanted to become ACCAL. I tried really hard during NCO camp. I tried volunteering for more stuff. I went for the Leadership Challenge although I wasn't chosen (I signed up lol). I tried having a greater presence in Sec 1 camp. I tried to be more enthusiastic.

As the bus passed by Tao Nan, I just got out. I stood outside the school for a while. And just looked at the school gates, the school logo, the crest, and stuff. I just felt good when looking at it. And after a few minutes, I left, and walked home.

Sure, you could say that I was being emo, but for me its closure. Closure on a chapter. The chapter of my life that I will forever remember. The chapter of me trying my very best to become ACCAL of NPCC.

And upon thinking of that, I smiled. I smiled a serious smile.

Thank you, everyone who helped and supported me throughout my entire journey of trying to reach my goal. Specific thanks go out to Samuel, Nicholas, Kieng Wee, Shaun, Jerry, Suwe, Manfred, Wen Zheng, and anybody I don't remember, sorry. I'm not really in the mood to find everybody.

VERY specific thanks to Sufyan and Jin Fu.
