Today after sch I joined my ex cca-mates for soccer. People like Junren, Zijian, Kevin, Jonathan etc turned up, and we had great fun playing soccer, and I was then really emotive for some reason, and began thinking about my RI life...
True that my RI schoollife was very shambolic. I am a loser w/o any achievements or anything that give me some pride... results, cca, awards etc i have nothing to show after 4 years of self wastage...
But for the failure I have proven myself to be, I realise that I have gained a lot from these 4 years, especially in intangible ways.
I have made a core bunch of friends whom I really treasure - whether from CCA, class or certain activities. This friendship is something which cannot be bought, cannot be mugged, but only nurtured over time...
And there's alot of lessons and skills I have learnt... from dealing with people (good or bad), managing myself (albeit with limited success)... I have met my fair share of nice people, and of course my fair share of backstabbers/assholes... and it's gonna be the same when I go to the working world.
What I have achieved during my years in RI can barely fill half a page, but the fond memories and the important life lessons that I have learnt are more than enough to write a book...
Adios RI...
