I'm feeling real empty right now. I think poly is okay so far. I mean at least I'm sure I didn't make the wrong choice.

But I hear all my friend's bad time in JC i feel so useless. I know there's nothing I can do, but I cant grit my teeth and stay out of the whole thing. How am I expected to smile when all of my frens are fretting and frowning ?

Its not just one or two that I'm talkin about. It quite a number of them that are dear to me.
Sighs.

My dear friends, I hope that after reading this you won't stop confiding in me. Just because you are afraid you make me worry. In fact that will make me feel even worse. Because I will know that something is bothering you but I would not know what. At least now, I can still give advice and at least lend a listening ear. I would still feel like a worthwhile friend. If you cease to confide in me, I'll be even more worried. Don't worry about me.

Alot of us say we don't like Mayflower, but do we really ? Yes, Mr Prem caught us (even me) for grooming or playing a fool, teachers scolded us for not handing in homeowork, getting nagged at all the time during assembly. To most of us, Mayflower is definitely not our choice school. My fifth choice to be exact. None of us thought Mayflower could provide us with a good education. Many still think Mayflower hasn't provided us with the best education.

But at the end of the day, when we look back at our secondary school life, I trust that we have made true friends. I know I have. I also know for one that teachers like Ms Sim, Mr Prem, Mrs Selva, Mr Chng, Mr Ong, Ms Balan, Mdm Chua, Mrs Ess... etc have given us our fair share of naggings, but who would argue against their care for us?

I read blogs and I hear from people that many ex-Mayflowerians reminisce about the past. So if we "don't like" Mayflower, why do we reminisce about the past? The answer is simple. Although we may not like Mayflower for the education it has given us, The friends we made along the way. The care and concern the teachers gave us during our four years there more than makes up for it.

To me, Ms Angie Sim has been the best council teacher I could've asked for, alongside Mrs Linda Pang, and for those who still rmb, Ms Emily Low will always be a great teacher and a wonderful fren. xD

I do not hate Mayflower. But make no mistake neither do I love it nor am I promoting it now. Its just that whenever I step back into Mayflower, memories just keep flowing back. To be honest, as much as I am a councillor during my time in Mayflower, I have never felt a sense of belonging to MF that people claim we would have, I only felt a sense of belonging to the student council. But only now, after I see my friends scattered all over, and when I have this funny feeling whenever I read someone else's blog, maybe now I'm starting to understand.

Whatever the case, Mayflower has provided me with the best friends I could've asked for. nobody can replace them. and certainly nothing and nobody can erase the memories we share. Because I know, no matter how well I do geniuses out there will always beat my results. But no matter how many friends I make, or how many people score better than me, these memories are deeply engraved at the bottom of my heart.

Results are important. But they are not everything. Don't get me wrong. I'm not asking you to forsake your studies for you friends. But as long as you know you have done your best, Be satisfied. Treasure the finer and more important things in life.

All I'm saying is that I miss my frens, my juniors and my teachers.
Esp my friends. Continue to stay positive and stay strong. xD
Love ya!!
