Last day of normal school life in MSHS.

Today was the last day I attended normal school in Maris Stella High, which means that, I'm totally on my own now.
Well, actually wanted to skip school, but then got quite a lot of things happening, so decided not to miss school. First thing, assembly everyone was singing the school song out loud with pride, since its the last time. Then after that we attended a talk by the VP, telling us to focus and wishing us luck. There was math lessons after that, then after recess went back to class. Mr Lim let us watch a video titled "an interview with god". I'm no worshipper of god, but what the video says does makes sense. For example:
"People gave up their health for wealth, then exchange their wealth for health"

"The rich does not have the most...but they need the least"

There's a lot more of these phrases, which i can't seem to remember. Exam mass was on afterwards, which was quite boring, only this is the first time i stepped into the primary school chapel, which was the best room i have ever gone into in Maris Stella High. Air conditioned and very clean, the surroundings looked like a Final Fantasy game. Of course, i fell asleep at times, but it was a short mass, then we went back to secondary school for the Leaver's ceremony rehearsal. It was definitely lame, but well, which rehearsal isn't?
Last day of school was basically nothing much to do, but a lot of things went through my mind. Feeling moody because according to my time table, there's no more math lessons, which means, i won't get to see the most influential teacher. Haiz...4 years, gone, just like that. I can't imagine how time come and go just like that. I could still remember the first day i stepped into the school, and now, it is about time for me to leave this school.
Finally, i want to pay tribute to all the teachers who have guided me through, especially during my secondary 3 and 4. What i am today, is because of what you have done for me, therefore, i want to thank you for your time and effort, never giving up, showing the same commitment and passion towards us the students.

Mr Lim
The most influential and respected person i have met in my 16 years of life. It has been a honour being your student.

Ms Jazilah
I appreciate your dedication and commitment, although the class was always creating trouble for you. I will not let you down during O level.

Ms Foo
Thank you for all your notes and help on geography, i have finally overcome the obstacle of passing your geography tests.

Mrs Chee
This 1 year has been great. I feel that my skills have improved after your taking over of the class. Your method of teaching has been enjoyable.

Mr Tan
These 2 years you have tolerated us, and i admire you for your tolerance, and your vast general knowledge.

Mr Ragu
A very relax and cool person, your english class is by far the most interesting, and of course, i will get your A1, i hope...

Ms Goh TK
Your physics notes proved to be useful, and we realised you were a much better physics teacher. It was such a pity that you could not continue teaching us, but thank you for your work and effort.

Last and the very least....

Mr Chia
seriously, i wished there was a change of teacher from day 1, nevertheless, your physics knowledge is there, but the method of teaching sucks, and i think it would benefit everyone if you switch to teaching combine.

That's about all, next week may still be seeing some of these teachers, some lessons here and there. Ya, 1 week rest over, back to mugging. I also particularly like this phrase:

Life is good for only two things, discovering mathematics and teaching mathematics.
