To My Dearest...

10th June 2013, 12pm.
Done with the last paper, Business Studies, and this marks the end of A-level.
Whether or not I am going to pass or retake *touchwood*, it will only be concerned on the 13th August, and till then, I shall take a 1 week short break and continue with LL.B.

3rd January 2012 was the first day of A-level Jan 2012's class, and I can still remember that I know none of you guys except for Carol. (Kinda my luck or something, no matter secondary school or college, always no familiar faces while others are having their old schoolmates and good friends at the beginning).

18 months of journey was indeed not a very long one, but it gave me one of the most amazing experiences in my life, with such a bunch of good friends. For real, this 525 days of journey isn't gonna be this awesome and cool without every single one of you. Thank you guys for marking an awesome full stop for A-level together on 10th June 2013, and we shall look forward to the next chapter in our life together sooner or later.

I can still remember how my secondary schoolmates used to describe me, about the first impression I gave them or when they don't know me well. I am pretty sure that you guys must have thought of words like "cool", "unfriendly" and stuff since these are what I'm always getting. I confess that due to my own character, after 18 months I still don't really know or not really close to each and everyone in our class. To people whom I mentioned below, you guys are close to me or somehow have some connection with me throughout A-level, and therefore I think I should write something for you guys. Even though I may not know each and everyone of you very well, but I will try my best to write.

First of all, I should start with my dear,
Carol Yeoh
Fashion, High Heels, Pink, Bitchiness are basically things you can't live without. XD
We've known each other for 6 years and it's still counting. Even though we weren't that close at the beginning, when we were in Form 2, but I will never forget that on the very first day of you in JIGSS, 2 Bestari, you were sitting right in front of me until I changed to another seat. If you were to tell me when I was in Form 2, that I am gonna be so close with this girl sitting in front of me, going through so much of thick and thin together, I would've told you, this is unbelievable.
I only write letters and cards to close friends, and you are one of ...uhm, maybe out of 3 person. I can never forget that you actually teared after reading the birthday card I wrote to you. I'm always grateful to have you in my life, and you are always being so lovely to me, especially when I bully you.
There are too much to say, too much to tell, that sometimes words seems to be so powerless to describe how I really feel. Thus, I think nothing will be better than, we know it in our mind, how much we love each other as a really important person in life.
My jelly and peanut butter, Love ya lots.

Lee Elaine
Shopaholic, Nail Art, Photogenic, Efficiency.
I don't really remember the date but the day we got close all of a sudden was because of hanging out together at Pavilion after class, and we have been camwhoring too much since then. Thank you and sorry for troubles that I've caused to you that you are always fetching me, to college or hangout.
What impressed me most was your driving pattern,ummmm...kinda shocking sometimes, but I find both of us kind similar in this, that we do swear quite much while driving lolol.
Thank you for always giving special delivery of nice food with love to me. First try of sloppy fries was from you and Carol, when I'm not feeling well that day (kinda weird right, not feeling well but eat fries), and until recently, the super fantastic awesome heavenly elbow. Thanks for coming all the way to my place just to send me food, or even my birthday present.
Even though our characteristics are not really similar, but please remember that our high 5 rate is too damn high. Looking forward for a couple more years with you and see ya in LL.B
Love.

Chan Wey Yin a.k.a Audrey
British accent, Mermaid hair, Dramatic and Weirdness.
I swear I've never met such an awesome person like you because I love your weirdness too muchhhhh. I really missed those days when we used to bully and weird others out randomly, especially Carol *lol*. Class would definitely be so boring without you lol.
The Always Dramatic Audrey, sometimes comes in a package with the British accent (or some other accents or weird German songs). I swear I always think of you whenever I see people drinking English Tea, thinking about your epic pose and the pinky finger.
My Hakka tutor, although what you taught me were words to scold ppl *lol*, but i still appreciate it very much HAHAHAHAHA. UGH I HATE YOU FOR GIVING ME SO MUCH OF WEIRD MEMORIES.
Epic people will still be epic. Let's get the weirdness on throughout Intermediate, and convert it into stronger version when we meet again in class.

Amelia Soo Lyanna
Hugs, Caring, Hyper, IBT.
The forever hyper and mother-like friend of mine. Hugging each other seems like something which just happened very naturally, since we weren't that familiar, till now, when we are already done with this journey. I would like to tell you that this is such a heart warming action, that makes you so special to me. I guess I'm too used to your hyperness, that I will actually feel weird when I see you not in a hyper mode, or with no facial expression.
I will always remember that how you started to talk to me during induction class, when there was only you, Carol and I in the classroom. By the way, your orange cake tasted really good.
It's sad that we are not gonna meet as often as before. I will definitely miss your laughter, hyperness, and warm hugs. Do well in what you want to do, best of luck!

Tam Xin Yan a.k.a Denise
Joyful, Bright, Epic, Partners.
What partners? Skipping classes lah LOL. I can remember the whatsapp messages discussing whether to attend revision classes or not, and in the end we skipped the last week together.
Your new year resolution didn't work, so Carol managed to save herself from shaving bald. On the first induction class for English Literature, there was only you, Vera, Carol  and I. I used to think that both of you are so unapproachable and DAT SMART ASS LOOK (In fact, you are). After I get to know you better, you are just one of the funniest person I've ever met. Those epic facial expressions and words never fail to crack me up.
 Till the day we meet again, please miss me like how I'm gonna miss you in class, even though we can still meet up in college, but it'll never be better than being in the same class. Skip classes lesser, remain you smart-ass brain, and the epicness.
Chibi Maruko fighting!

Vera Chong
Kind, Intelligent, Determined, Gentle.
The first induction class for English Literature actually gave me the chance to take a look at you, since there was only 4 of us in the class. As what I said, you looked unapproachable to me. I sorta not like you at first because of the first impression you gave me, but one thing that I didn't tell was, I actually think we will become good friends in the end, and we really did.
Maybe, studying A-level in ATC was a very difficult process for you to go through, especially Law, when your original intention wasn't to pursue in Arts but Science, but I hope that you did find a lot of joy when you are with us. Now A-level had come to an end, and you finally got a chance to choose what you really want. I am always wishing all the best to you, and I hope you will enjoy your Uni life better after all.
One thing to advice, treat yourself better, especially when you are in a relationship. I am really going to miss you a lot since we are not going to see each other so often anymore.
All the best!

Tan Weiqin a.k.a Vicky
Kelantanese, Optimistic, Compassionate, Naive.
You are my first Kelantanese friend, or maybe first friend from other state. You always look happy and passionate in doing everything, especially when doing something for charity. The optimistic of yours can actually affect everyone around you!
I remember how naive you were (okay la now still quite naive also), that all of us actually taught you some bad things and cuss words unintentionally. I remember how you don't use the word 'bitch', but you are using it too often nowadays HAHAHAHA. I really enjoyed time spent together with you and others, especially when we were doing assignments together in classroom 2J, there comes 'Jay Chou' and CHOW CHOW.
My friend, while making choices concerning your studies, make it for the sake of yourself instead of others in the first place. I know you are straightforward like how I am, but please don't use this in making important decisions. Give yourself a good break, spend more time with your family (I know you miss them very much) and start the new journey with a fresh mind.
Living away from home when you are alone is indeed a very difficult thing to bear with, thank you for being so brave, that I got to meet you in ATC from 2012 to 2013. Hope to see you again, maybe not soon, but someday, in KL or TM. Please don't forget your 'family' in KL, and I wish you all the best in your future.
Love you and miss you.

Rebecca Ong
Innocent, Cute, Bunny*lol*, Petite *lololol*
I remember the first day I saw you in college, I was actually so curious about your age. We weren't really close back then, and even now *lol*. But I feel thankful that you guys will never forget to count me in for any activities, events or plans.
You have that innoncent chubby bunny face that makes ppl wanna pinch your cheek. Even though you are blur sometimes, but that's what makes you so adorable and "bulliable"(in a good way). Don't always say that you are short, YOU ARE PETITE.
Thank you for bringing joy and happiness with all the epic moments and epic pickup lines. Continue to look for hot guys in LL.B, be careful when you are driving (accident with a lorry sounds really major), continue to speak Mandarin with English slang.
Even though we are not close to each other, I still cherish you as one of the awesome bunch of people I love in A-level, as this bunch of people is not gonna be so awesome and epic without the presence of everyone, including you.

Clarissa Lee
Smart, Stylish, Humorous, Meat Lover.
Frankly speaking, you looked so unapproachable when the class first started, because you looked cool when you are not smiling or laughing.
We aren't close to each other either, but we almost became partners to play in ATC Sports Carnival 2013, if only I didn't get injured that time. Although you said never mind, but still, I feel sorry to you.
From what I observed, you used to crack lame jokes, you look bright and approachable when you laugh, you are random sometimes, you observe hot guys in college with Rebecca. Thank you for counting me in whenever you guys are organising activities, or planning trips. Thank you for being one of my awesome classmates, that made these 18 months so memorable and full of epic moments.
Whether you are going to UK or not, wish you all the best. I know you are going to succeed in your future. Best of luck!

Oscar Wong
Helpful, Friendly, Witty, Passionate.
Maybe you forgot this, but I always remember the first time you actually talked to me was in the elevator, you said, "Wassup, LohBoon Goh!". The reason why I remember this isn't because of it's the first real conversation, but the invincible awkwardness after that line. Have I ever told you, that your pickup lines for each conversation are sometimes...horrifying HAHAHAHAHA.
I actually envy your passion towards everything you do, like music, or piloting. It's hard to find people like you nowadays. That makes you cool, and keep it up!
Congratulations that you are finally one step closer to your dream, after so much of efforts. All the best to you in your future, face those challenges with your invincible passion to piloting, and I believe that you are going to succeed.
Don't forget us and remember to keep in touch. Captain wannabe, wish to hear your new and the best pickup line in the future on the airplane, "Hello. This is Captain Oscar Wong."
It's definitely gonna be better than "You look familiar..." or "I have this screwed up friend..." HAHAHAHA. Oh yeah, never use these 2 to the stewardess. *LOL*
Good Luck!

Lok Hon Jet
Polite, Thoughtful, Humble, Hardworking.
We don't really talk to each other, and what we always do was only to greet each other "Hello" or "Goodbye", say "Hi" when we meet in the alley, "How/When are you going back?"  like any other ordinary classmates whenever we have class, and that's all, until some talk with you someday which I don't remember when, except for you were late for BS class and I skipped the class.
You are unique in your very own way. I know that you have your own temper, and you did tell me that you don't really have a good temper, but you actually managed to treat everyone politely and humbly.
I remember that you said, this wasn't because of good temper, but IGGGNORE those that annoy you. I did take this as a good advice, and I see some effect on myself as well. You are indeed a comfortable guy to talk to. Thank you for being so understanding when I got injured and unable to participate the badminton game with you in the ATC Sports Carnival 2013. I had a good time playing badminton with you, as you are very much caring and supportive, and hope so I wasn't a terrible partner to you. *LOL*
I believe that your characteristics are going to lead you to success in the future. Humble is nice, but don't under estimate yourself. As the probably most charming guy in A-Level *LOLOL*, so far as what I know, you got loads of admirer HAHAHA.
See you in LL.B!

Tiew Kai Xiang
Funny, Sociable, Easygoing, Gentleman.
I think that you are the most gentleman guy I've met so far, and you really understand girls' mind, sometimes even better than girls. Thank you for bullying Carol together HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
You might be lame sometimes, but it's kinda interesting whenever you are around because of your characteristic. It's a kind of special charm that I don't know how to describe, but that's what makes you so sociable. You are easygoing to me, since you actually managed to talk to me, when I'm that kind of person, who don't really have the courage talk to people I'm not familiar with, especially guys.
To be honest, whenever you ask people to refill water for you, 50% of my mind was, just go and refill for you from the tap in the washroom LOL.
I sincerely wish you all the best for everything you do in the future. With your strong mind and intelligence, you are gonna succeed.
All the best!!


Peeps, thank you for making this journey so amazing. This is probably the happiest academic year to me since 2001, when most of the memories are happy and positive. I can still remember how we acted in law class, how we did presentation for LAN together, how we went through the revision period, and how we celebrated everyone's birthday. Both in AS and A2, we had meals together with looooonggggg tables, in Ben's and La Bodega.
Memories that you guys gave me are definitely gonna stay in my mind, and I will never forget all the important events we've been through together.
Thank you everyone for having each other's back in these 18 months, and I believe this will never be the end of our friendship. I appreciate each and everyone of you, as the most amazing bunch of friends I have.
For those who are leaving, wish you all the best. Remember to keep in touch, and don't forget us.
For those who are staying in ATC for LL.B, whether you are joining June or September, we will still meet each other, probably during revision, or in Part 1.
Till then, please take care of yourself and remember that we love each other.

Oscar Wilde once said,
"The burden of this world is too great for one man to bear, and the world's sorrow is too heavy for one heart to suffer."
and that's why we have each other.

2013

新的一年，跨年夜和第一天都在温习当中度过。与其说我在读书，不如说我在背书…临时抱佛脚这种劣根性应该是永远改不掉的。

回顾2012，其实是一个没什么特别，却又不是太过普通的一年。说起来，我真的觉得每年都差不多一样，一开始觉得很漫长，度过了再去回忆，可能一整年里给自己印象最深刻的事情也就那么两三件。所以每一年对我而言，不是大坏就是普通。大好，仅仅是用来形容当中的一二而已。

一年到底，说得到的不多，失去的也不多。有些人进入生命里，有些人离开了。升学只能算是一种进度，唯一改变最大的，就是自己的个性。那种改变很抽象，就像其实我很沉默，却又不是所有人所认为的沉闷，我可以很疯，我也在某种程度上变得活跃，但这种抽象的改变，仅仅是因为我跟谁在一起相处。别人的以为，终究只是以为，有些事，有些人，你终究没有去了解，却用你的“以为“去为我这个人做了结论。

一如既往的一年，平淡普通总比大起大落好。一切平安顺利，健康开心比较重要。
