I've finally finished walking down the road of my 3 years in Republic Polytechnic. I'd describe the voyage as an adventure, an eventful ride...

I've experienced many changes of feelings throughout the 3 years- joy, laughter, tears, anguish, demoralised, proud.... You name it, I've experienced it... It took me quite some time to start on this post to wrap up my years in RP, because many thoughts ran through my mind, and I'm at a loss for words to describe how I feel right now... I guess a cocktail would be apt to describe it... I'm feeling a mixture of everything right now, at this crossroad... I'm happy that I've finally completed my education in RP, yet, I feel kinda sad I'm once again leaving a place which I'm oh-so-familiar with, to a new terrain with a whole set of challenges and uncertainty ahead...

Oh well, give me time to rest and recharge, and I'll be ever ready to embrace what lies in store for me :) because, like the cliche saying goes, life goes on.... since everything is constantly on the move, why not embrace it with a positive attitude?

3 years, many things happened... i had my first times trying new things, learning things the hard way, toughed things out, been in and out of conflicts, been at the top of the world, been down and out... Come what may, whatever happened definitely helped me grow in a way of another...

Of course, with this post, I'd like to show my appreciation for the different groups of people who made a difference in my RP life as well....

W24M, my first batch of classmates in RP... I felt like a little girl in this class, where everyone really took care of me and treated me like a little sister to them... We were rather bonded and life was pretty good with them around, because I didn't have to worry about anything! they will be like my big bro and sis, taking good care of me, haha! They were definitely a good of friends who made the beginning of my RP life much bearable, considering being in a new environment, adapting to a new system at that time...

DSCM MATES, they were a group of real funky buddies I have in RP... As we were being split into our various courses in year 2, I actually spent most of my 3 years hanging out with them, going through thick and thin together, the endless gossips, the endless partying... hey! we're a group of people who study hard, play hard! :)

BADMINTON TEAMMATES, something new which I've picked up in RP, it wasn't easy to hang in there, but I did it^^ I've also made myself many good friends in Badminton, and these are the friends, whom I will really treasure, because such great buddies are hard to come by :) Alan, Serene, honey, Stef hor? HAHAHA! well, besides the names I've mentioned, there were also some others who really encouraged me a lot, and I'm thankful for these god sent guardian angels... There are people like Zhihong and Darryl(HANDSOME YOUNG MAN) to give me tons and tons of encouragement was I was feeling at my lowest... and of course, Larry Chua! the monkey who makes my day, every day :)

finally, my DEAREST FYP TEAMMATES! Nothing describes how lucky I feel to be in the same group as them over the past year, and yes, I'm very very proud to have them as my teammates, to the extent of showing them off whenever people ask who my teammates are^^ we chiong our fyp together till the library closes, we study together when exams are near, we go JB together, we watch movie together, we play together, we even SLEEP together... haha! after being in the same team as them, I knew then, what going through thick and thin together truly meant:) I LOVE YOU GUYS ! MUAKSXS! ^^

the journey ahead remains untold...
