These two years in JC have been really short. Many have said that time flies when we are having fun, though I think a more nuanced view at the quote is warranted, after which it may be intepreted as time flies when we are doing work instead. For some, 'work' and 'fun' are but two synonymous themes, but for others, they couldn't have been more different than oil and water.
What comes after JC for the class is greeted with much uncertainty for most of us, especially since our class has never been the epitome of a bonded entity, and to say that our class is bonded may be stretching the definition of 'bonded' a little. But we can't deny that our class IS bonded, albeit in our separate stratifications, and that it is among these little groups of ours we have each learnt to become more comfortable with one another and have grown closer in the process.
Time places things into perspective, and what we never know what may happen in the next chapter of our lives. Perhaps 6 or 7 years down the road, when most of us would have completed our university education, we may decide to meet up and find out more about one another. Some of us may have changed beyond recognition, others may remain largely the same, but we will never know unless we bother to find out.
And it is in this same strand of thought that I have glimpsed one of the greatest lessons in JC: if we should never try, we would never know. Regret is one of the most debilitating emotions of the human mind, and it is always better to try and be turned down, rather than not try at all.
So, years down the road when any of us feels a slight pang of nostalgia and wish for a class gathering, just act on it and start asking around! haha rest assure that one other person will definitely make it, and at the worst case scenario, we can always have a little chit-chat to catch up with one another ;)

last day of schoolIt has been close to 2 years since this blog started out, and it hasn't really been able to survive for long. Lots of us don't know where the next few years will see us (well at least for the guys it's ns), and lots of things may change, so before it does, well just like to say thanks for making these 2 years a memorable one (subjected to each person's interpretation that is). As Dr Fang said, today seems really anti-climax. Anyone else have any after thoughts? Haha back to mugging
