And the last day of school, just made us realize how close we’ve become to one bother and how much we were going to miss each other next year, when we weren’t going to be in the same class and stay together as one big one-der family in the same class. It also made us realize how hard it would be to stay close to one another next year, when we were going to be split up. At first, the videos of the things that we did for the Cultural Mapping thing and the Drama production were shown and we relived the memories of these few things that we did in the earlier part of this year. I actually found some of the parts still funny although I had watched it before and I felt that a these memories could never, ever grow old and would stay alive in our hearts forever.
Then, Megan played the video that she had created for us. A video that encapsulated almost all the memories that we had created as a class. A video that contained photos of days spent in the class, those random photos that had been taken with or without people’s knowledge and the things and the memories that we had created with each other in these two years as one-ders. Things and memories that we may have taken for granted in these two years that we spent together. There were countless photos and some of them really brought out the laughs but in the end, they made us start tearing. These memories that we had created just made us so emotional and the realization that these memories could never be made again made it worse. These photos just showed how we had enjoyed the days that we had spent in the same class together, how we simply loved each other’s company, and all the various emotions that we had experienced. This video really brought us through an emotional roller-coaster and everyone started crying around me. Although I had been trying to hold back my tears and actually comfort the rest to stop crying and start smiling and enjoying this last day of school that we had, in the end, the tears just flowed out. This was the first time that I had cried in many years and made in my whole lifetime. (My mum had actually said that I didn’t even cry when I had been born.) I didn’t even feel like stopping the tears. There was no use in doing so. I didn’t even think that I could stop them from flowing out. It was really tough. The principal’s contact session where she talked about how quite badly we had done in comparison to the other cohorts didn’t even affect the impact that the video had on us and the second part still brought out the same emotions in us. I actually loved the “ testimonials” part and they showed how we felt and loved each other as a class. I’m actually quite proud and happy that one of them was from my blog haha. We soon got into a circle and talked about how we loved the times that we spent in 01 and how we felt. Mr Teo had said that we were still going to see each other next year but I felt that that wasn’t the point. The separation and the realization that we were going to be together anymore was already bad enough.
Next, after school, we had the class outing and went to Vivo, the place that we had most of our class outings. I think it sort of also helped me relive some of the memories that we had created during the class outings that we had had over there in the past. We played in the water and just started splashing each other about and playing “Old Grandmother”. (And did I mention that I got kicked in the ass four times haha?) I guess people found a way to stop me from showing my ass to them whenever they wanted to splash some water.XD We also played this Chinese game and I think I sort of epic failed when I wanted to catch Ian as I fell into the water at one time. I guess the time spent in the water just allowed to relax a bit and enjoy each other’s company in the remanning that we had left as a class before we had to split up. Next, we took some photos and I left because my mum wanted me back hime as the next day was Deepavali.
Mr Lee is also leaving us next year. He had actually told some of us about it much earlier but I guess he didn’t want anyone else t be affected by his leave from the school. To be honest, there will always be a place in my heart for all the one-ders and Mr Lee. They have really impacted my life in the short time that I have spent with them.
The awesome one-ders(when we got our class hoodie.)
The still awesome one-ders(on homeroom day.)
There’s actually a song that I would like to dedicate to all the one-ders and Mr Lee at this point in time when we’re going to split up.
“Hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark”
"Walk on, walk on,
With hope in your heart,
And You’ll Never Walk Alone”
These lyrics are actually from the song, “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” I know it was originally created for Liverpool but I guess its also also applicable to us in this period of time. We shouldn’t be “afraid of the dark” now, when we are going to split up at the end of the the year, and think that that there would be a “golden sky” when we will definitely meet up with one another again, and create many memories again as one-ders. I also think that by walking on, “with hope in our hearts that we will meet again”(which we will do, in the next few years, definitely) and when we meet each other,
we will “Never Walk Alone” and always be there for another.
All of us will forever be one-ders and always be in one-derland.
And remember YNWA. (You’ll Never Walk Alone.)
And this is the song.
You’ll Never Walk Alone(By Gerry and The Pacemakers)
