at the crossroads...

When you reach a crossroad, you stop and wonder which way to go, which way will bring you to your destination. Left, right or forward, we take our separate paths to our destination, our goal and ambition no matter how insignificant or important it may be. Small step in one direction is another step away from a friend, but yet we take it. As we go towards the horizon, we lose sight of one another.

10 years from now, we meet up at a gathering. Some grow, some stay the same beautiful or handsome face they were in high school. The crossroads that separated us also brought us together. How ironic...

Our graduation came and went without many tears shed. Knowing that it was going to be the last day in school, I stopped and looked around, thinking of how much I would miss this somewhat weird yet warm and welcoming facade. I will miss the smiles stretching broadly over the faces of my friends. I will miss the plaintive atmosphere that hung around the people I talked to. I will miss the homework and pile of things to study before that ever so important school term exam. I will miss the teachers "advising" me to study hard because I still have time. All these things and more, I will miss ever so dearly.

But most importantly, I will miss you guys in 5S4. As Jidangao said, we didn't start off on the best of terms but did anything great start off well at the first meeting? No! Over time, we formed our alliances, our friendships. Though fragile, yet we stuck with it and nurtured it. We got closer to each other and managed to become the best bevy of classmates I could ever have. As the saying goes, a picture says a thousand words but I believe an act speaks louder. After our impending doom, SPM, let's keep in touch because I myself will feel guilty if no gathering or outing were done.

Let's put aside our differences and hatred, shake hands and become the best class in CHS ever. 10 years done the road, hopefully shorter, let's meet up, whether online or in person. Share career stories, some family stories. That is the kind of thing I am looking toward. Maybe that's why I didn't shed a tear, the fact that I will meet you guys again in the distant future. For my parting message, I chose a quotation from Mark Twain:

The holy passion of friendship is of so sweet and steady and loyal and enduring a nature that it will last through a whole lifetime, if not asked to lend money.

It has been a pleasure and with utmost gratefulness that I say goodbye to the best class a man could have. Safe journeys and to our next meeting.

毕业典礼那天 (31-8-2008)

光阴似箭，在 5S4 里的两年就这样过去了。我们在公中的五年 (大多数的人) 也就在一眨眼间过去了。大家有何感想呢？开心还是伤心？可说是有彼此感觉，开心是因为离成功的路越来越近，而伤心的是离别的心情和我们不可能再可以感受到毕业典礼的气氛 (除非有念 Form 6，但大多数的人都会去读 college)。

在这天，很多人都会带 camera 去学校拍照 (肯定啦！不然没机会了！难道在 SPM 拍吗？不好意思，要读书！)，我们班当然也一样。我们也变得特别活跃，尤其是与朋友们讲话和拍照。今天也是我们在公中的五年里最特别的一天。我认为印象最深刻的是在礼堂里唱歌 (尤其是“Auld Lang Syne”和 “友谊万岁” ) 的时刻。

在礼堂里，大家都非常活跃，不像平时在 tapak perhimpunan ，懒洋洋的。在唱歌时，大家都非常有活力，尽量大声唱，但平时在周会唱国歌、州歌和校歌时好像不是这样的是吗？我猜测错了一点，为什么毕业典礼圆满结束后 (不是前) 没有人哭呢？记得小学时好像有很多人哭得很难看。这证明大家已经长大了，不再是六年级的小学生。

我曾经与 5S4 有很多恩恩怨怨，但这始终也过去了。最记得是以前我曾经 post 过 “我爱 5s4”，但大家却当我在说“公鸡话”。当时我觉得很失望，因为我的认真被别人当笑柄。如今，我已不介意以前不愉快的事，因为继续想下去只会折磨自己。记得什么是宽容吗？原谅别人的过失，同时也在放过自己。

希望建宏 (Kien Hoong)不要介意这个部分。我与你的性格可说是水火不相容，但我不想与你发生争执，因为这样对双方都不好。可能你很介意我每次与 Yi En 讲话、坐你位子等等，你骂过我很多次，但我不曾顶嘴，除了有一次我心情不好不小心发泄出来，但我最后还是向你道歉。无论如何，我都当全班人是好友也包括你，只是看你是否愿意这样做。如果无意中伤了你的心，那我就向你道歉。

最兴奋的时刻是在 Mid Valley 唱歌的时候。我也不知为什么，平时最不敢在当众面前唱歌的我竟然如此勇敢呢！虽然价钱是有点贵，但我们每个人都感到很开心，所以很值得，因为钱不能买快乐、钱不是万能的。虽然我的歌声是有点难听，但我还是唱得很爽快。我还以为大家会把麦克风传来传去不敢唱,但竟然没想到大家都那么勇敢，甚至争先恐后呢，哈哈！

我会在 SPM 后 update 这个 post。希望大家把你们所拍的照片 e-mail 给我，如果要我帮忙 upload 的话就通知我一声吧！我的 e-mail address 是 hate_and_vengeful@hotmail.com。最后，我想与大家开个玩笑，希望大家不要介意哦！我不会祝你们 SPM 好运，因为我相信大家都很有实力，肯定可以获取好成绩,不需要运气，哈哈哈！Gambatek and Good Luck for SPM!
