4 years in Tanglin, is almost over.
Thoughout these 4 years, i believe i've changed, in terms of the way i think.
[thanks to people who influenced me]
let me recall...

Secondary One, when i FIRST stepped into this school,
i had no friends, i felt lonely, no sense of belonging.
furthermore, i was posted to the LAST class of the express, 1E4.
for a moment, i was quite sad.
i still remember how we complained about those troublesome ties,
but now, i am starting to miss it.
my first friend in Tanglin was, Chialynn.
she sat infront of me, and we had to introduce ourselves.
beside me was Low Chuan Wei, We had never spoken a single word,
till the later part of the year. still, there was no sense of belonging.
Weiqian and i, (1E4 sucks and 6F'03 for me, 6A for her rocks)
we write it every single day on our hands, just to remind ourselves that
no class can replace our primary school class. it was the best.
but later on, we came to realised that we should treasure the present class,
if not we'll be regretting like we did "that time". And so, sometimes we sarcastically
say that "1E4 rocks".
Mr Ho was our form teacher, he was a nice and young teacher with some weird sense of humour. but definitely, together as a class, we became very united...
Fri the 13th, we got a scolding from Ms Solastri.
"shouting competition"

then, we moved on to 2E4. we had Ms Teo as our form teacher. i would say most of the time,
she had no ways to control us. so throughout my 1 year, i wasnt doing much work.
the class grew very strong together, we had fights with other classes. we stood together.
really, i love this class. it brings back so much memories.
with all those weird cheers, taopok, all the fun we had, are still on my mind.
we all had an apple each...
because! an Apple a Day, Keeps the Doctors away.
all the dance modules we went through together!

1E4'04, 2E4'05 YOU ARE MISSED!

time flies.. definitely, we went into different classes,
and some, unfortunately could not stay in Express.
we are all DISPERSED!
we had our own new class.
seriously, i was not used to it at first.
i still missed my old classmates.
but slowly i came to realise that 3E1 isn't that bad afterall...
although i dont really have much friends from there... (not like now i have alot?)
it was hard to cope, definitely. especially when sec 2 you did absolutely NOTHING.
okay, maybe thats a bit exaggerating. lols.
it was a great jump, definitely. but i managed to cope (and still hanging on till now)
nevertheless, we were there to support one another in times of need.
this is a whole new experience all together.
we had conflicts! one of the many major ones was the one where the "class gathering"
was supposed to take place at Vivo. we rebelled and ran away to town instead.
haha. what was that man.
but of course, there were many sweet ones too!
like.... the Shining Red Dot! maybe that got our class EVEN closer.
Mdm Heng was our form teacher, she was sweet and all, we love her to bits.
and now we still.... lols...

4E1 was hell! because every teacher tells you,
" O's are a few months away, you think you're taking O's 3 years later?"
yeah, and all of these to get us going.
i used to think that "not like we don't know o's are arriving"
but now i truly understand why do teachers say such words.
we did lots of things AS A CLASS.
and i am grateful that i have such bunch of people as my classmates.
although i cant really find my true best friend.
but i've found many friends/good friends!
thats good enough i believe =)
Spiderman 3 this year, and all those unfortunate and fortunate events that happened to us in this year alone... those pe lessons. those JOKES, Mikaya, Michael, Cabrina= Kavitha, M1=MI, Muhammad, and many more!
really, i enjoyed myself as part of the class. and thanks for making me laugh! =) hahaha.
a big thanks to Mrs Koh and Mr Lau, they have been a great pait of form teachers!

Graduating is part and parcel of life,
we all have to grow and continue our learning jouneys in different institutes.
but whether we're a part of apart, its a test of how strong the relationships are.
Throughout these 4 years. i have been waiting to graduate from this school.
but the people here will definitely be missed!
evidence:


Today, is the Graduation Ceromony.
Now, i'm an unofficial-official Graduate of Tanglin Secondary.
what have i done/learnt over these 4 years?
think about it, Shi Lin.
during school time, Cab and co. prepared a powerpoint slide for the class.
In those powerpoint slides, there were pictures of us. in groups and individually.
its amazing how time actually played on us.
Time have brought us closer, but now, it's tearing us apart.



Last but not least, i'm so fortunate to have great teachers.
who've guided me and helped me in my work.
i just want to thank them woohooo! =)
i'll thank them officially after o's. haha.

okay. really the last, I MISS MY NETBALL TEAM!

i'll miss everyone in 4E1.
thanks for all you've done.
