I'm experiencing dull days now. Next year, my parents have decided that I have to discontinue my British Council lesson because of my poor exam results and whatsoever. I were crying so bad for days and days and if it's not because between my sadness there's that Genting Chinese Orchestra competition to lift up my spirit, I think I would've been feeling so dang sad for the whole week. Now that the Chinese Orchestra competition had ended, I'm having that kind of feeling again :'/
LAST YEAR
From the beginning, I wasn't that close with my British Council friends. I've been attending classes there for two years and I've only got very close with my friends this year around April. We started off with a not-very-bad-but-so-so note which didn't really bug me at that time. JaNe confronted that she used to hate me so much because she was more of the whatever type of girl while I am more of a "good" girl who follows everything the teacher says. (Me: Of course! I'm new to the environment, what do u suppose I sould do? All of u are veterans for God's sake :P) And Kyle thought that I was a boy when he 1st saw me in the class o__o Well, I certainly do not hope I still look like one now. Last year, I was in S3 and my friends were different from this year's. Last year my friends were Wendy (she's still in the same class with me this year :D), Jane Khor (note that there were two Janes in our class last year), Crystal (I already forgot who she is and how she looks like) and Jia Lin (she's in Sunday's class this year). We were a contrast to JaNe's gang (consists of JaNe, Amphany, Chuok Hwa & .. ) as their gang is always so hyperactive and crazy whereas my gang was more of a followers' gang. Another group was the boys' group: U'Wais, Kyle, Ze Fei & Najib (forgot his real name or should I say I never know his real name xD) Not much of memories last year. All I remember is U'Wais always said I looked cute with fringe when I straightened my hair and changed my hairstyle before departing to Japan. And when I told u guys that the proudest thing that I've ever achieved is getting the KIZUNA scholarship, U'Wais was like: "One of my friends is going to Japan too!" And I was like: "Is your friend Khalid?" And he nodded. And both of us were so high! :P None photo taken.
THIS YEAR
At the start of this year's term, I was still a little bit alienated from them because our class started off as a big class that consisted 15 pupils. This year's classmates from last year's class: U'Wais, JaNe, Kyle, Yan Kit (he's on and off last year so he doesn't really belong to any gang last year) and Wendy. New friends: Ginger, Wai Sheng (shrimp), Jason (he's an acquaintance) and Khai Yee (she stopped for the last term as she will be having to face SPM). So it was a really big class at 1st but later on most of them stopped to concentrate on their SPM. So it's just us who's left in the end. And the best thing about this year is - Kyle returned during the 2nd semester!! :D I was not very close with him last year. But I think we got closer because of AFS. We often share our experience with each other through messages. So you could figure out easily why we're so close naturally. It's a small class, and we just got together as a pack eventually.

It's so good and fortunate to know all of you.
All the whys that brought me to you guys:
1. Why did I 1st decided to sign up for British Council?
Last time, I was quite boastful of my English level of command because I thought that I was so good (Actually I were just above average and a little bit better from my friends. Not excellent.) So I decided to challenge myself by going to British Council. Plus, I really like the way aboriginals speak with their accent and I had imagined the friends at British Council would be cool kids. And I am not wrong. They are AWESOME and COOL!
2. Why did I passed the placement test and ended up being placed in S3?
I don't know how I did it. I mean, I know myself for sure my standard of English wasn't that high.. But maybe because the essay that I was being asked to write on is "My Holiday" and I just wrote that essay at my another English tuition class the day before I went for the placement test. So I still remembered some really good vocabs (that I considered high level words) like cost you a fortune & blah blah blah..
3. Why did I chose Saturday class instead of Sunday class?
The reason I chose Sat class at the 1st place was because of Yan Kit. I was quite afraid to blend in into a new environment so I thought that it would be better if Yan Kit was in the same class with me. If Yan Kit was in Sunday class, there's a huge probability that I will go for Sunday class. There wouldn't be so much of heartache now and then huh? :')
4. Why did I continue British Council this year?
I really love the carefree environment and having a bunch of friends who are so supportive to each other. It is a feeling that I've never felt in my whole life. Even with my school's friends I feel a little bit uncomfortable with some because there are always so many secrets between friends and I just don't like the way they create "friends zone" and whisper to each other and trying to show off their relationship by creating their "secrets" or "fancy words". I mean it's okay if they wanna do so but just STOP BOASTING and babbling in front of those who are not in their "friendzone". Bodoh tongkoi @@ And maybe it's also the way they think and the way I do differs a lot. Most of my school's friends don't talk Ryan Higa or celebrity stuffs with me and I feel like I am an alien among them .__. Really! One of my friends even nicknamed me "Alien" and asked me if I always speak English at home cuz I just couldn't get what she's saying to me for most of the time. With u guys, everything fits in perfectly. I just feel SOOOO me with u guys! :'D
5. Why are we so freakin' close this year?
If it's a big class and Chuok Hwa is still in this class, JaNe would not be sitting on the same table with me because she hated me last year (I am pretty sure she doesn't hate me now cuz she was the one who lent me her shoulder to cry on when I (she) told my friends that I'm discontinuing next year :') And if it wasn't that a lot of new and strange faces popped out in our class this year, we wouldn't have stick to each other that close. I still remembered that JaNe's jokes at the beginning of the year was a bit awkward because all the new faces.. I'm telling you, they're a TOUGH CROWD! Making them laugh wasn't as easy as making me laugh so.. I wasn't enjoying myself so much compared to how much I am enjoying the togetherness of our class now. And for most of the reason, we're close because we're all very awesome in our own ways B)
So that's about it. All I hope is I still live in your hearts and you wouldn't forget me even though I am not around with you guys anymore! :') Keep in touch through LINE! And let's hang out sometimes! Although Saturday class will never be the same again without me, I think what you guys will do is grief for a short while and move on. That's what everybody does so I can't blame you guys even if you guys have forgotten me one day.
A friend leaves, there's a vacant, and time fills it.
I know my Saturday will never be the same anymore without you guys. I just wanna tell you guys that I really love you guys and you guys are the best that I've ever had!! :')
Thanks for the memories YA3!! <3
