What I miss.... Part 2!

I'm gonna miss the food from school. Canteen 2, 3, Makan Place and of course Alumni. Ahhh, yes, My seafood Mee Goreng with prawns and sotong. Eating that definitely makes my day. And canteen 3 famous for their cheap Malay dishes. Their Nasi Briyani, chicken rice. Yes.... And the Makcik who 'loves' everyone (she calls everyone sayang). That's how you do business. Canteen 2, oh yes, my breakfast set. Cheap breakfast set. Definitely can't get that outside school. And Makan Place, oh... don't get me started. Of all the food there, I'm gonna miss the beef scrambled eggs. And maybe the kaya toast. And also rice with malay dishes from the Nasi Padang stall. And chicken chop from Hungry Jack. And erm, cheng teng. Yes, that's all. Hmm, maybe... Okay, no. Stop it, Lat, you're gonna bore the readers.

Moving on....

I'm gonna miss all the lecturers I ever had. The nice one, the timid one, the stuck-up one, the funny one, the one who likes to syiok-sendiri, the one so full of herself, the cute one, the one always on the go, the fun-loving one, the encouraging one, the knowledgeable one, the one who knows nothing, the one who ignores us, the one who makes our life so difficult, the one who finds fault in anything we do and the list goes and on and on and on....

Without you lecturers, school wouldn't be called school. Without them, we won't have assignments, presentations, lectures, tutorials. Without them, we won't have someone to hate at some point of our life. Without them, we won't have someone to thank when we have succeeded. Oh wait, without them, we won't even succeed! So to all lecturers out there, thank you for all your time and effort in moulding the future generation. You know what Malays say? Macam paham! (Like you understand only...) But seriously, without them, we are nothing right?


Of course, I'm gonna miss my ever-so dramatic, noisy, full of life, awesome class, B01. I can't imagine myself not being in B01. The class always add colours to my dull and mundane school life. Never had a day without laughter. I believe each and everyone of my classmates had certain unique qualities that adds so much life to the class. I'm gonna miss how we were so loud in lectures but quiet during tutorials (you know who's tutorial I'm talking about). I'm gonna miss how 'rebellious' we were to some lecturers. Heheh. I'm gonna miss all the crazy and fun stuffs we all did as a class. Bottom line, I'm gonna miss being in the same class with all of them.

So, this is it. Poly life ends (not officially yet though, i'm still using my tertiary ez-link card with concession). While most of my friends are continuing with their studies. I'm beginning a new chapter in my life tomorrow. I'll be working as a full-fletched early childhood educator at... Go figure! Which means, I'm gonna be a working adult already! Wow, how time flies. It felt like it was only yesterday I started going to school. Sighs.. No more student discounts. No more allowance from my dad. Oh wait, I'm starting work tomorrow!! *panic mode* I am so having mixed feelings right now. Nervous and excited all jumbled together.

This is it. I mean tomorrow is it. Tomorrow's the day that determines everything.

My future. My dreams. My goals.

To all my graduating friends: All the best in whatever you guys do! Keep moving forward to achieve your dreams. Never stop believing in yourself. You guys can do it! :)

To B01: It's been an awesome 3 years. I don't know what I would do without you guys. I know we had a lot of disagreements along the way with one another, so, for the sake of moving on, we'll just forgive and forget, yeah? Anyway, I had so much fun with you guys. You guys would definitely stay in my memories for eternity. And all the best to everyone! Love you guys!

What I miss....

So, last Friday was my last day of school, in Polytechnic. My last day of being a student. Oh gosh, I'm seriously gonna miss everything about being a student. I don't know where to begin.

I'm gonna miss attending lectures. I'm gonna miss not doing our own things during lecture. I'm gonna miss playing games (we used to play Bingo and Hangman) during lectures. I'm gonna miss writing down notes dilligently on my so-called, 'Bible'. I'm gonna miss munching on snacks during lectures. And of course, I definitely gonna miss the lecture theatres.

I'm gonna miss tutorials and how much fun we had during tutorials. From experimenting with bananas during Environmental Awareness to playing Math-based games during the Math module. From having to make funny sounds during Speech training (Hi honey!) to role playing in almost every modules that we had.

I'm gonna miss having presentations. I'm gonna miss talking to the class. I'm gonna miss the feeling I had everytime it's my turn to talk and everyone's staring at you as though they wanna eat you up. Urgh.

I'm gonna miss doing assignments. Camping out at the Library's ECH corner when dateline is just a week away. Staying up late in school just to get our job done. Looking for books for reference in the library but feeling a sense of frustration after you can't find the book that you want and realize that everyone else has gotten the book they wanted and kept it for themselves. C'mon, sharing is caring. Oh well, this is Singapore, everyone's Kiasu in their own ways. So I too learnt to be Kiasu. Heh. Anyways, I'm gonna miss crapping out some ideas and typing them down in my essay just to reach the minimum number of words. And I have to thank Microsoft for having the synonyms thingy cos it helps me ALOT! Haha. Whenever I run out of words to write. Ask me about referencing, and I can definitely remember the APA referencing style. Ah... what a torture especially during my first year. I was rather stumped when my lecturers introduced the APA to us. I was so confused and don't know what it was for. And felt that it was just a way for lecturers to torture us more. Haha. But now I know how important and essential it is.

To be continued.....

Would you quit eating all junk food to live five years longer?

Yes, why not? But now no. Maybe when I'm much older. Haha.

Ask me anything

Love Life.
