4K

I was on the way home from Aik's house, sitting at the top deck, front row of bus 89 and looking out at the highway at night - the perfect setting for deep thoughts - when it hit me. The realization that I'm gonna miss 4K really badly after we leave JH. My god time really flies. And so much for me saying that it's only gonna sink in 2 weeks after the end of school. Nope, it's only been 1 day haha. So weak.

In a way I felt that 4K was special. Like you can have many triple science classes, but there is after all, only one double humanities class (at least in DHS) and that makes us really cool haha. We're all such unique and different individuals and I love all these quirks of 4K. I believe I don't have much regrets the past 2 years, Y3/Y4 life had been rather eventful (understatement) and I'm really glad I spent it with 4K. On the other hand I do hear my classmates saying that they should have spent more time with the class, it's a pity how we only got closer to one another in Y4. I've got to admit that 4K isn't a very bonded class but I do really cherish the friendships we forged throughout the 2 years.

One thing that saddens me is that this, or rather now, is probably the peak of our friendship. It's easy to say that we would still be going through SH together but the truth is that by then it wouldn't be the same anymore. It's not like we can go out and have class lunches or dinners or watch movies or hobo or talk or play cards after a day of school. And people do drift apart too. What I'm saying is that we should really just live in the moment and enjoy ourselves and one day, look back on these events that will become mere memories. 

To quote Charlie from Perks of being a Wallflower:
"When I was walking up the stairs to my dad’s old room, and I was looking at the old photographs, I started thinking that there was a time when these weren’t memories. That someone actually took that photograph, and the people in the photograph has just eaten lunch or something."
That's quite a nice book by the way. Movie didn't really do it much justice, I didn't like Emma Watson's role (she doesn't fit Samantha!!!) but Logan Lerman was convincing as Charlie and Patrick guy was not bad too.

Ok I sidetracked. My friend once asked me if I would feel bored being in the same school with the same people for 6 years and if I were to answer that now, it's a no. In fact I feel like it's a blessing that we get to overcome the A levels together I really can't imagine myself doing that elsewhere in another school with a cohort that I'm not familiar with. So yes, I shall aim to slowly blog about all the class events we've had this year (especially after eoys) as a form of remembrance. 

Abrupt end because I'm hungry and I wanna eat my dinner.
