Many things have been troubling me lately.
Somehow, in a way. I just want to get them out of my mind. My friends who know parts and bit of the problems just simply asked me to think more for myself and things will be fine. But, how's that even possible? Maybe it's just me. Even though I hate this part of me, what can I really do about it? Countless of occasions I told myself to just ignore, ignore and ignore. The success rate? 0% I still care and it affects me. Most of the time I do not express myself because I hate the idea of being a burden to others. I know my friends cares for me, a lot to be exact. Nevertheless, expressing my thoughts just isn't my cup of tea.
Just what I should I do...
Till then.

The Official End. Bye SP.
Friday, 17 May 2013 // 23:58
Finally, this day arrived. A day that I have been looking forward to 3 years ago when I was still a freshman, so young and dumb, filled with anticipation of a new journey. People out there says Polytechnic life is gonna be easy and a breeze. It's just a BIG WHITE LIE. The difference between Secondary School and Poly was definitely drastic and overwhelming compared to what I thought it will be. Not to deny that there were times which had been easy on us... but definitely there were times that were tough too with all the projects and submission having rather close deadlines. Poly life is actually much more demanding than what most people think; I guess only people who went through it will understand. Things just aren't the same anymore I guess. Lucky enough, I have got awesome classmates and made many friends from my CCA, who have pulled through this journey with me and making it like no other. They were there for me when I need them, regardless for studies or simply just for some fun.
Year 1 - Birthday Celebration.
Year 2 - KL Trip.
Year 3 - Our final year together.
Graduation Ceremony.
DEPM/03
My awesome bunch of classmates who are united in our very own ways. I bet we are the wildest and the noisiest bunch of kids in our batch who always make sure we have our fair share of fun in whatever we do, especially in class. We always whine at the stupidest things (always getting the lousiest bus or last to leave) and doing all sorts of crazy stuff (forever camwhore-ing, etc.) when we are together. Many told me that Poly classmates are the worst bunch of friends you will make because everyone will just want to fight their own share of attention from the lecturers. Thank you for proving them wrong for the past 3 years and I really appreciate every single one of you who have walked into my life since 2010. Sure enough I am gonna miss everyone and all the fun and nonsense we share. Thank you for everything and I wish all of you all the best for your future endeavors! Keep in touch!

Lecturers
I may not be the best student who is attentive, always punctual for class, and acing in every paper. However, I got a bunch of great and understanding lecturers who stood there for us for the past 3 years who used their best efforts to teach us and guide us along the way. Of course, not forgetting the fun and nonsense that we shared, be it in class or outside class. Without these bunch of people, I will not have get to or become who I am today, not to mention about graduation. I really appreciate and am thankful for each of you for being there. Thank you for tolerating all my nonsense and stayed through with me for the past 3 years. I hope this message got to you too Ms Jac. We will miss you and I will like to thank you for always believing and supportive in whatever we do. I know you will be proud of us like you always do.
51st SPSU - AGM.
52nd SPSU - Council Retreat.
53rd SPSU - AGM.
Singapore Polytechnic Students' Union (SPSU)
It has been a pleasure and an honour to be serving the school under SPSU for the past 3 years as an Executive Committee Member. If I were to say everything is awesome and so smooth sailing, it's definitely a lie. At first, it was pretty pressurizing for me as people around me were not in the same CCA as me, and I had a rather hard time coping. Nevertheless, I got use to it and thanks to some moral support and understanding from my pals. I pulled it through and it carried on for the next 2 years. Each and every year of my service, I learnt something new. The experience of working with the different types of people is truly an enriching and wonderful one. Through this journey of ups and downs, I made awesome friends and meet many different kind people along the way. Through this journey, I also learnt more about myself and a lot of things which I will never thought of without SPSU. If I have ever offended you in anyways, hopefully you can forgive me and let it pass. SPSU definitely played a big part of my Poly Life and I am thankful to every single one out there who walked this journey with me.
52nd Council - The crazy bunch of people.
53rd Council - Awesome time spent at Telunas.
Singapore Polytechnic Students' Union Council
To all my awesome council people! Thank you for all for showing your support in SPSU and Council events. Things will definitely went wrong without you guys. Although we all came from different backgrounds, I am really glad to see all of us coming together and work together for a better SP. Just so you know, this friendship is really rare and I truly cherish it. Thanks for all the memories through retreats, ICE Camp and Running Man. Hanging around and having fun with you guys have become one of my favorite thing especially in my final year. Hope to see you guys around soon!

LZ! Our very first family photo!

My SPSU family and the first group of people I got to know to start off my life as an SP Student. Though we this camp was 3 years ago, I still remember the awesome fun and nonsensical moments we shared during FOC and during our gatherings. I really missed those times where we will usually hang out just because we are too bored and celebrating mother's and father's day! Thank you all for the great time spent. We may not be as close as what we used to be in Year 1, just so you know, once a family, always a family! Hopefully, we will have a gathering soon!

Psychedellic Droga - Last day of camp!
Psychedellic Droga
A bunch of people which I had been through thick and thin while preparing for FOC for the next bunch of new kids in the house back then. You gotta admit not all of us joined this wholeheartedly. Nevertheless, through all the training and the bonding sessions. We have come together as one despite the differences. Thank you for the support during the training and the camps. We done all kinds of shit and I am glad we pull it off together, as one. Once a GP, always a GP.

What's a camp without awesome food and awesome entertainment? Still remember the echo? Hahas. I know it's not easy to commit your time back then since we have all graduated and it is time for us to plan for our future, be it NS or any other paths that you are going to take on. Thanks for being there for Syazwan & I during the camp. Really really appreciate it. Without you guys, the camp will not be able to run and be as awesome as it is. I hope you enjoyed this experience as much as I do. Cheers!
YOG Girlfriends
Never knew I will keep in contact with this bunch of awesome girlfriends in the first place. I can still remember us in the Youth Olympic Village carrying out our duties and doing all the crazy stuff that I shall not mention here to protect our own image. It's at stake uh! I really love our hangouts session where we have our random talks and it just seems like time was never enough for us. This especially goes out to Auntie Low which has since then become one of my closest gf. Although we don't usually text or even call each other like what usually gf does, I never once felt we drifted once we met up again. We are like ranting machine to each other who always rant to each other about our life. Love you babe!
YOG Clique - Our lastest meet up.

LEAP - Ipoh
The journey started out awkward since we all came from different CCA backgrounds and not having any bonding session before heading for the trip. Nevertheless, we became from strangers to friends through the days of having fun together, as a team. Although this isn't my first time going for such adventure camps, the experience was still an enriching one with the people around me. I really did learn from them. All the late night talks and lessons not only helped me to know myself better, but also my peers better. I can still clearly remember how we all squeezed at a table just to play number heart attack on our way back from Ipoh. #thosewerethetimes Anyways, hopefully we can hang out real soon too!

My last group of awesome friends I made through this OCIP trip! Got to admit I was kinda reluctant to go for the trip in the first place because of many reasons and problems I am facing. Nevertheless, now that we are back, there isn't one moment I regret going to this trip. The 14 days were such great experience for me. These are experiences that are totally different from attending Leadership Camps and are irreplaceable. Will never forget all the fun we made out of the repetitive daily routines, all the nonsensical talks over meals, playing with the children, late night talks, blogging and the list goes on and on and on! Thank you for putting an awesome end to my 3 year journey in SP. This especially goes out to #TFT! Although this started out as a joke, I am glad the group stayed as it is! Really touched with the surprised gift this afternoon since I wasn't expecting anything. Thank you all once again for the effort! You guys are definitely a bunch of the sweetest people I ever knew. <3
Family
Lastly, to my family who have been always supportive in everything I do. I know sometimes I can be really worrying on my academics and am always reaching home late due to my commitments and social life. Nevertheless, I want to thank my mum for her utmost understanding in whatever I do. Although she nags that I am not at home most of the time, I know she meant well. But mum, if you are reading this, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart and want you to know that I will always love you. Take care of yourself and don't worry too much about me. I know the limits. Trust me on this.

To all of you out there who I know you for other reasons not mentioned above, thank you for being part of my Polytechnic journey. Thank you for coming into my life. It's definitely nice to know each and single one of you. Thank you all who have made an effort to come down during the day just for a photo with me. Deeply appreciated!
Bye SP & I love you, my alma mater!
