Another 'Milestone'

PMR has been over for a week. Form 1 to 3 textbooks can officially be thrown into the furnace or burned in a bonfire celebration... or be environmental friendly... recycle! Heh. In a way, when we handed up our Geography papers on Friday morning, we had actually finished another 'milestone' (so to speak) of student life. Next stop? SPM.

And it seems not so long ago we were just stepping into SMK CGL in new bright blue pinafores, unsure of where Secondary School life is going to lead us. And I'm sure it wasn't that long ago where we were still clinging onto our mothers as the as the teachers' taught us how to recite the Rukun Negara.

I still remember I was among the handful that had no idea what was going on, and when the prefect asked us to 'angkat tangan kanan', I raised my hand high up amidst laughter from parents... Now you know.........

And yet, here we are, halfway into Secondary School life with a mere two years left.

When revision floods us up to our necks, or when we are receiving a hard whallop from teachers, or when fights among the best of friends are occuring, school sure doesn't feel the least bit fun. But I've been told many times by the people who had already left school that school life is the best of all.

Darn right. Who can forget the days when PMR was drawing closer, where lessons were no longer held, and everyone sat anywhere they wanted, pencils and workbooks in hand... though whether more revision or more talking about pointless things were done, is anyone's guess.
We laugh over anything and everything until we double over in pain and tears flowing down our cheeks. Effective stress reliever, no?

Entering Form Four has never loomed so clearly over us. This past week, teachers had explained to us the new subjects, explained about then Arts and Science streams, personality tests and so on. And of course, prefect election campaigns are also going on.

In short, it's going to be a whole new, different world. But at the same time, a lot of things remain the same. Friends... exam stress... competition stress... and, well, love for CSI NY. ;-P

I'm gonna love each moment,
Of every day and night,
I'll look back to the past,
With the sweetest smile.

Oh, and Selamat Hari Raya!

Actually, i find life before PMR less boring! Now with all these nonsense talks, (I know they're just trying to keep us out of trouble) I'm getting really sick of school!!! So.. may the days fly by fast so that i can hear you all spewing out those prefect, or should I expect perfect, speeches already!!!
