Till now, if there is something that puzzles me, it is not geometrical proofs or trigonometry, but instead why the new girls tend to say that coming to st. nicks is the worst choice they had made in their life. Of course I'm not saying all of them say that, but well, many? most?
They say that the school system sucks, perhaps, maybe it does. I don't know why I don't feel it. Maybe because I'm from st. nicks primary? so maybe they have a similar system and after 6 years in sn primary. I don't feel much after coming to secondary school, except for the piling homework and never ending tests and exams. I think that sn made who I am today. Although I still laugh when they go on and on about what sisterly love, dignity for all, create and celebrate, lead and serve, learn from life and gratitude and humility? (oh wow, i memorised them.) I think that 9 years back, choosing to study in st. nicks. was the best choice I've ever made so far in the fifteen years of my life. Perhaps, if i went to a different school, my social circle might be wider, i may have more guy friends or whatever, but I don't regret coming to st. nicks. I love the staircases in the school, the mirrors they hang all around in school because they want us to always look 溫文爾雅 and 高貴大方. (talking about the old campus btw.) I love the ponds in the school. the 飲水思源 pond. Where I used to throw coins in all the time to wish for a hundred marks in spelling .___. guess what. I used to throw coins down the school building to the little hill at the back leading to the secondary section too,making silly wishes. yeah right, like throwing coins down a pond or a hill will grant your wish. haha, well. those were the times :) And the times were we played aeroplane or tying strings whatever. I love the forum, and the 7 pianos we have in school. oh 8? or maybe more. Some of the P1 classrooms have pianos. mine had one! I remember playing a piece for show and tell in primary one. HAHA. I miss the huge toilets with so many big cubicles and so many mirrors and sink. I miss the super big canteen that i took for granted. I only realised how awesome and big the canteen was when we moved to the toa payoh site. that mysterious mirror hanging on the wall of that staircase in the family lounge leading to god knows where. TILL NOW I STILL DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT STAIRCASE LEADS TO. some said principal office, but the staircase is always locked and its so dark and dusty, and i found where the principal office is anyway. getting back to the mirror. they said that if you touch it or whatever you'll get sucked in and you'll never come out. -,- i touched it like 10 times and im still here yo. HAHA. the family lounge is awesome to, we had long long benches where people came in to sell books or cocoa tree chocolates! the living room, the primary staff room, secondary staff room... Carpark 26, Avenue 2 gate, bridge gate, father barre... bus 265. oh and the huge hall that could contain all 4 levels at the same time. and of course the playground, the upper concourse, lower concourse.. and the prayer room. I don't even know how the prayer room in the temporary site looks like. and of course, the classrooms, the big classrooms. I miss everything in the old campus. and the bells! the school bell now is so gross. sigh.
I'll never regret choosing sn. never.
