passion. tenacity. integrity. in the pursuit of truth.

acjc has taught me well, too well indeed! yes, its been a while since i last visited the school or last sang the college anthem or last attended morning assembly. however, i still remember all the values i've learnt in acjc in my heart and, to my surprise, even practise them!

i had my chinese oral today. we were supposed to prepare six topics and would choose one of the six by drawing lots. i didn't really prepare anything much for any of the topics, as i was busy the whole week with what-you-would-not-want-to-know. however, there were certain topics which i was slightly more comfortable with, like talk about yourself, talk about your family or talk about your friends as i can practically talk about anything under the sun. so when it was my turn, i went in and saw six different pieces of paper on the teacher's desk, one of which was not properly folded so i could see what number was written in there. it happened to be one of the three topics mentioned above. i must admit that it was tempting to just pick that piece of paper and secure the (hopefully) A for oral. however, for some reasons i just couldn't pick up that piece of paper. it was like i heard mrs kelvyna chan's voice inside my head when she first told us about the college values all the way back during orientation in 2007. so in the end, i picked another piece of paper and ended up going out of the classroom after saying 5 sad sentences.

it wasn't my intial intention to talk about how the oral went, but i just thought it was a really funny experience, so it went like this: after my teacher told me the topic (describe your surroundings), i just totally zoned out and stared back at her in shock. while i was taking my own sweet time analysing the evil things around me, she looked up at me and caught my blurred face. i guess she pitied me as she probably knew that i didn't know how to say table/chair/board/door/window in chinese, so she told me i could talk about my hall instead as it was what we learnt in the previous lesson. despite her help, i still only managed to say 5 miserable sentences about my hall haha. after i finished, i realised she seemed to be still waiting for me to talk more, so i told her "erm, that's all!". upon hearing that, she went something like "HUH? THAT'S ALL??" and then i knew i was so so so screwed haha!

so yeah, back to the main topic. without us realising, the ac values have somehow been inculcated inside each and every of us and will continue following us till the end of time. i know there's been much bad rumour going around about ac lately and some people have been telling me that i don't seem to be that ac-ish anymore, but i am still a proud acsian! (: I LOVE AC!
