Before I tell the world, or at least 08s11 about how much we love Cass and Mel, I just have to be quite the asshole to make this thing scientific, because it is me.

I think we all have experienced what is known as the 5 stages of grief: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%BCbler-Ross_model

Stage 1: Denial. I guess that was on Tuesday and Wednesday. I honestly believed that they were going to see my appeal and approve it without a second's hesitation. What naiveté.

Stage 2: Anger. This kinda came later. Will talk more about it later.

Stage 3: Bargaining. This is where it turns into a sob story soap opera. Get your tissue, people.

I have never, ever been so happy in the last 6 weeks. Primary school, or at least Pri 1 to Pri 3 passed by without so much of great joy. It was normal, to say the least. Here's one thing you people would have never guessed. I was actually accepted in GEP, and went to Rosyth School. Yes, lessons were fun and enriching, but everyone was an elitist asshole. Then came Secondary School. I liked Catholic High, as a school and did enjoy myself quite a good bit, but for all the ups, there were many more downs. Rather, it was more like a sine curve; good then bad then good then bad. Catholic High was brotherly: I referred to teachers by first name (at sec 4, at least) and it was fun, but there were also many downs. I did something extremely, extremely stupid in Secondary 3. Ask Grace (I have no idea how she actually knows) or Luther about it. I nearly got expelled, but it was still fun and I loved my teachers and friends (even though my class sucked).

However, it was a totally different story at NJC. Life at NJ was an e^x curve. Every single thing I did with the class was fun an extremely enjoyable. I don't know why I chose to sit in the corner at Pizza Hut the night of the dance party. Neither did I actually enjoy the first dance party because 1, I can't dance and 2, I had no shoes and my feet got trampled on goshdarn many times. However, I don't think I will ever forget the second dance party. I will remember Audrey's (Cheong) quirkiness, Dilys joining Audrey in insanity, Clarice and Jieling dancing together, Mylene giving me a glowstick (which I will cherish as a souvenir forever, in memory of 08S11), Qiao Wei asking me if I wanted a second helping of dinner, Melinda for being Melinda, Audrey Ho for her awesome dance moves, Cassie for not dancing with *cough* (hides), Yuhui for being sporty, Geraldine for the SCGS cheer (And Audrey Cheong as well), Melissa for new shoes and Cheryl Heng for having so many glowsticks and letting her hair down. So where's the bargain in this roundabout gibberish? I sobbed on my home on the bus. I was praying to God for just one more day with 08S11, then for him to take me to the Kingdom of Heaven, or if I was not deserving, then eternal damnation, because at that point, life was meaningless. It was like an adrenaline junkie going sky-diving, then realising that he forgot his parachute. It felt like death. I honestly prayed to God much of the night to give me one more day with 08S11 then banish me to hell for being such a coward and I meant every word in my prayer, because this class has opened so many, many doors for me, and leaving 08S11 seems to have closed many, many, many more doors.

Stage 4: Depression. That's yesterday, I guess. I cocooned myself in the sick bay of AJC all day, from 9 in the morning till 3+ when I went to NJ. Life felt so meaningless, so insignificant, so worthless and stupid.

Anger: So my Dad called me at 3. He went down to NJ and tried to talk to the VP. It was unsuccessful. I asked if me going down would help. He said I could try. I never did get to try. I was shown the door faster than learning how to say pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. (F0r reference, pronounce it as such: pneu-mono-ultra-microscopic-silico-volcano-co-niosis) I was cursing the school for it's stupidity. *insert more emo thoughts here*

Stage 5: Acceptance. I guess this is it now. I've accepted the fact that I can't be an NJ student, but I don't think I will fully accept AJ as my JC and be happy there. 08S11 will be my class, always.


More messages:

Cass: It's obvious that you like that guy. Society is liberal. Ask him out for a date or something. You have nothing to lose! On another note, you are such a happy person. I do hope that you always remain happy.

Mel: You have too many shoes. What more can I say? I do hope that you continue to enjoy French. Au revoir, madammoiselle, ayez l'amusement dedans NJC.

Weiwen: I hope that your old specs are okay. You are such a hyperactive person. I will miss your energy and Terra House. Your advice to us who wanted to run for Council was invaluable. TERRA OEI!

Daniel: Thank you so much for everything. I leave you with this:

On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" "What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?" He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" "You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live." But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn in Jericho and took care of him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'

"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"

The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise." - Luke 10:25-37 (NIV)


You are than good Samaritan. God be with you always.

Thing Thing: You've always had a problem with your ankle. I hope that there will be no recurring injuries when your ankle is concerned.


How I feel right now: My heart has essentially be crushed, dessicated, shredded to pieces and wretched to the point that it will never recover. It's currently being held together by hardening glue. I will never be the same again. Sigh.

Yours Sadly,
Wilson.
