GOLD WITH HONOURS!!!
Finally... After 8 years of waitin, of strugglin, of hard work, of blood, and of tears... I'm proud to say we're finally a sch with a GWH CO!!!
Had one of the best days of my life today... there wasn't anything special.. in fact, it was just like any other day... but i guess wat they say is correct, some of the smallest things in life can just make ur day... haha.. in fact, i guess this day will remain in my memories forever...haha...
Anyway, to just give a brief idea of wat i've been through today, is that i've been to Singapore Conference Hall today after sch to watch my sec sch perform for SYF... It's quite a big event as it's something that determines where the co stands.. 2 years ago, we experienced disappointments... this year, 2 years later from the previous experience, i really hoped they've emerged from the previous experience, matured, and ready to put up a great performance to gain and achieve wat the predeccessors couldn't.. N they did it, with gusto n nothing less of their best, they achieved their ultimate today..
Although many would say, that it's the achievement of my juniors, n that my happiness is uncalled for, but i believe that the happiness that they experience today, is the fruit of the labour we planted 8 years ago, all the way till today... we started as a new CO, strange to this culture... n we got bronze on our first attempt.. the second was done with a rather lofty ambition, n indeed we were overconfident of ourselves, but it enabled us to gain a more stable foundation towards our goal...
The year 2005, was the last year which i was officially a cat high student, n we were all out to make them proud, an proud we were, of the progress we made, but not wat we achieved, n we were no less, alittle disappointed as we were still away from the goal we set...
Year 2007 was the year cat high entered the SYF for the 4th time, with a group of students that were different from the previous batches.. however, these students were no less eager n set on their goal, and indeed the goal was achieved... As the words, "Catholic High School, Gold with Honours!" were said, an immense feelin of happinesss surged through my body, n i almost jumped on my chair.. at the same time, i felt touched that our goal was finally met.. as we shouted our sch cheers, i realised that my love for my alma mater n its CO was not something that even i could comprehend, as it has long taken its roots deep inside my heart.. A great sense of belongin to this community that i cannot, n will not, be able to find somewhere else again:
