And I bid farewell to my 400th post, as I start on the next one.
The 401st post of my blog will be dedicated to S4L8039.
Because they're all awesome people.
When I started with S4L classes, I sincerely thought this would never beat AKLTG's IAG. Especially after I met so many special people during Mod 1 and Mod 3. This doesn't mean I've forgotten them, but I have come to treasure 8039 a lottttt.
It was awkward, the first time we all met. Truthfully, I thought it was a waste of time. What, 7.5 hours a week, spent on these classes?
Then I got to know them.
This is probably the time that I inject some touching phrase like "This is when I fell in love with them." Well yes, you can say that to a certain extent. But the time when I felt inducted into the class was when we had that mass convo on the Youth Day holiday, at 1AM. I could have said that I regret not going out with other people that day. But honestly, I do not.
They were all fun-loving and crazy people. Maybe many of them parallel me when I go crazy with Choc&TV. This was what made them more endearing to me.
Then the mass convo 'tradition' continued.
I can say that in the 1 hour that the daily convos ensued, I could unwind and relax. Plus it was fun to bully XS.
I guess everyone knows that I have quite different personalities online and offline. (The reason why. Have you seen it in the way that I have before? This story will be saved for another day. (: )
Before I knew it, I desperately wanted more time with 8039.
And it was then that the awful realisation hit me. We had barely a few weeks to go. To rub salt into the wound, I wasn't even having CC with them.
This flustered me. But let's compare this to a composition.
This has been the prelude till now, and we are at the climax of it all.
What will the outcome be?
Does my character grow, or do I remain stagnant?
I feel a tendency to lean towards growth.
So I must say this.
"In these weeks, I have come to respect each and every one of you. Yes. We are all individuals, and we define 8039 with our personalities. Would 8039 be complete without one of us? Definitely not.
The most important thing behind this is that we should continue remembering each other. I haven't kept up contacts with my IAG Mod 1 group mates. And I sincerely regret that. I do not want the same thing to happen with this beloved class.
We may not be able to see everyone regularly, but meeting occasionally is better than nothing.
I look forward to the BBQ. And I really hope to continue the 'Mass Convo tradition'. Thank you, 8039.
We still have one more lesson together.
So I will cherish the time we have together."
