I love the whole world

Finally, my time in NUS High School is coming to an end with only 2 days of sports day, 1 day of convocation and 1 day of prom left. This 4 years in school had been a hell of a rollercoaster ride for me and this had really made me appreciate the friends I have made.

So with this entry I try to end off my entries of recalling how I met people:

Dr Wong-I knew Dr Wong even before NUS High School. She was from the Christofori School of Fine arts at Funan IT mall at I first saw her perform during a Christofori annual concert. She was the only performer that was so full of energy (In fact, me and my parents thought she was a male teacher). And before school began, she was introduced as the music teacher for NUS High School during one of the earlier meet the teacher sessions and I was like O.o "She looks familiar".

Altron- I met him during the first music theory lesson with Dr Wong. We were just dismissed from lecture theatre and he is the only 305 student taking the module, so ok lor, go to class together.

Tan Li- I also knew Tan Li before I came to NUS high School as we were both from Nan Hua. Last time he used to be in the Chinese Culture Club LOLX. I met him during a calligraphy competition and we both won bronze (or level 3) prizes. Then I saw him in one of the early meet the parent sessions of NUS High School. So we both decided to see the principal of Nan Hua together to submit the drop out forms as we thought the principal would be very fierce.

Jieshen, Jaq, Benedict, Gabriel- During the start of the second semester, I got to work in a group with them to build a projectile. We decided to build a water rocket and we went to buy the materials together. I remember we all used to stay very late to do the project and Jaq and Jieshen would stay the latest (hmmm...I wonder...argh nvm). The rocket was not very well made so it is not at all accurate. I remember that the rocket always fire out into the field, turn around, and fly towards Benedict. We actually had plans to put him out on the field during competition to act as the homing beacon XD. Still remember how we took off the casing of the ceiling light to use as a launching device.

Leslie-Like Tan Li, I met this guy when we got called for calligraphy competition. Nothing special to talk about though.

Weiling- Can't really recall when I got to know her, but if I am not wrong she added me on msn. I remember that I found this name familiar but dun know who she is...but heck, I added her to the contact.

I can't really remember how I met the rest of the people but over the years, I got to know more people much better.

Another thing that NUS High School taught me is to love the world. These 4 years had been hell, so I think I can appreciate the world much better now. The school drilled so much scientific information of the world into me that there is this part of me that had been trying to view the world in a more artistic way. Like what I described in my personal statement to Cambridge, I loved the way the tides rise and fall, I loved the sounds of nature and I loved how the sun rises from the east.

I think this feeling is best described in the new Discovery Channel Commercial.

Damn this commercial rocks the world! Boom De Ya Da! Boom De Ya Da!
I love the whole world, it's such a brilliant place! Boom De Ya Da! Boom De Ya Da!
The world is just awesome! And NUS High School made me realize that.

Harmony in the world.
