Message!

Dear 1SY,
Belle here. Thank you all sooo much for your overwhelming support, concern and affection! i really appreciate it and will never ever forget you guys! Im gonna send Janie and Joanne the photos of us happy, and sobbing, and shell upload them on the class web. now, just hafta find out how to stuff this stubborn memory card into the computer reader.

Actually, for those who are puzzled why and how i got into RGS at this time, this is why.

A week ago, the principal of RGS, Mrs Deborah Tan called me to inform me that one girl dropped out of RGS and she has just reviewed all the girls who have appealed to come to RGS last year. Out of the hundreds of sppeals, she chose only me. She stated one condition-to join the dance team. I went for the dance try-outs so that the dance teacher can decide whether i am up to their standards for their contemporary dance. Even though i do latin and ballroom dancing and not contemporary, i passed their "auditions" and i had a confirmed place and was notified of the good news only yesterday.

Upon hearing that, instead of rejoicing like what my mother had expected, i burst out crying. I sobbed, wailed, bawled, etc, and couldnt bear the fact that i am going to part with the best class ever! I thought over it and despite all of miss sie's and other sc friends persuasion, i still chose the RGS path. Why?, you may ask. Because i felt a really strong feeling inside of me urging me to choose RGS. Besides, it was an instinct! ANd, its fate! i believe this is what God gave me and as i orayed, i prayed to be put in the correct school. how do i know because, why would a girl suddenly drop-out? why did the principal want someone to fill in? why is it that out of the hundreds of appeals that i am the only one chosen? why did i pass the contempporary dance audition? why did the pricipal still take me in in the end altho she has all the authority to change her mind?

Well, that's what i think. I need to work towards my future, my destiny, and not loiter on the past. Choosing SCGS would be choosing the easy way out, and not choosing the challenging one. You cannot avoid challenges in life, and without challenges, there isn't any life! Rgs has always been my dream school, since p6 june! ive tried DSA twice, got rejected, tried get in thru PSLE, short of two marks, tried appealing, only shortlisted, but after all this misery and stressing over, i finally had this great prestigious opprtunity to get into RGS without further ado!!!!!! I think that i would regret for life if i miss this opportunity.

Its definitely not that RGS is more important than my friends-wayy no!!!! i will always treasure my firends in 1Sy and SC, and will not push them aside and focus merely on RGS. THat would be totally selfish. I promise ill never do that! DOnt worry! especially amanda my dear bigbird!

I hope you all wonderful 1sysians understand me, and thank you all sooooo much. Im gonna paste ur pictures up on my wall and will always remember 1sy my favourite class EVER! dont be sad!

Today, i went to RG after cny celebrations. i was really warmly welcomed into my new class. they did a funny dance and a cheer for me! i know 9 girls in RG but only one close friend in class-haiqing(6sysians u noe). They are really friendly and i already made friends. The teachers are great and RG is so fun! the cny performance did EXACTLY the same for the zodiac signs skit by the SC china scholars. Ironic. The entire script is the same, haha.

Dont worry, i love RGS but SCGS will ALWAYS be in myheart, expecially 1sy! you rock peeps! i love you all! thanks for putting my name up on your personal messages on msn too! thanks im honoured haha.
Will keep you peeps posted on life! i love you! will get uall presents soon happy cny! g2g have dinner and watch little einsteins with my lil bro! haha. actually, little einsteins is rather annoying.

LOVE YOU LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS
Belle

Dear onesy,

thank you all so much for the ecard and the special article page on class web. i really miss you(really).
well sorry for not being able to email u earlier as i mentioned that ill keep uall updated on raffles!! ive been studying gruelling hours for my papers(it is not easy)
i noe i sound stressed but im totally not! i dont know why! im hardly ever stressed cause i like what im doing. lemme tell u abt the school syllabus.
english---so i prefere miss sie's lessons chinese--walao so slack. jump here jump there. we doing very little of 1A, some of 1B, some of 2B a little of 2A. (these are the ttextbooks.) 2A 2B?? those are sec 2. surprisingly not as hard as some chapters in 1A so im coping well.
math--same as SC, but the standards in SC are the standards that we do when we just learnt the chapter so its quite hard.
science--!!!!!!!!!!!!!! chemistry is headache-able. my class is doing ionic bonding while im still catching up. basically, ive covered atomic structure and still trying to memorise the elements. very weird one. (there are 111 elements). elements are like sodium, helium bla bla nonsense. then must memorise the eletronic configuration and the scientific symbol for each of them. sodium--Na.and all the proton and neutron and whatever tron number. because i havent caught up completely with my class, i often stay back to have tutorial sessions with my nice(and i mean the good nice) science teacher. so stressful but im not stressed.
literature--poems geog-textbook is sec 3 history-same textbook(thank goodness) but focusing on different things, computer science-- wah! i donno what the teacher talking. all the weird weird stuff. but i bet uall very good one. because i bet most of u can photoshop, make powerpoints, but i cannot. but that's not what we are doing. something else. oh we also need to make a website. and most of u noe!!! and i donno!!! aesthetics-sewing, etc. but in SC, things like the apron is provided. in RG, we have to sew them ourselves. but its ok. but always make us do rather meaningless projects. philosphy--boring... dont ask whats philosophy cause i dont even noe myself. we also havespeech and drama which is fantastic compared to art of speech haha.
ok i shall stop rambling on. am i blahing too much?
oh ya, i love my cca, it is dance. not SC's dance, somethin similar but not. mine is a mix of hip-hop, jazz, contemporary and ballet. so very fun. and i was in choir in sc and my teacher, mrs evil yogeeswaran, is so pissed at me for ditching choir!!! ahhh. ok she's really mad.
hmm what else is there to say. i think nothin much liao. besides, if i continue, u all will get bored to death. ok byes! gonna have my macaroni!
belle
ps, pls pls pls forward to those that ive not sent this email to! and those whom received this as a forwarded email, pls email me to gimme ur email! and i hope everyone has received my last email.
