end of chapter, a new beginning

Every story have its own beginning, and its own ending. Our story dates back to the year 2006, where people from all walks of life, brought together by destiny comes together. Uncertain of what lies ahead of us, we began a new chapter of our life. Our poly life, MIT0614.

Some of us kept to ourselves (Jeremy and I), while others open up their hearts to accommodate and accept the new surrounding. We had new additions to the class (Liting), while some left due to personal reasons (Joycelyn *that's if I got her name right*). Not long later, we had our very first outing over at the Esplanade.

Things began to shape up. We had the time of our lives. Then here comes our first BBQ over at Desmond's house. Along with our Orientation Group Leaders (OGLs).

After that, things starts to get a little complicated. Politics and stuff. Some of us proved to be the black sheep of the group. Soon, she's out of the picture (Tin *that's if that's her real name*).

Had our very first class chalet.

The end of year 1. Sad to say, some of us failed our modules (that includes me, myself) so we had no choice but to leave the usual suspect. Physically seperated, but we still remained together as within our own cliques.

Year 2 began, that's where the controversy starts. Just like in a relationship, some of us had character clashes. Some of us stayed together while others, just backed out by themselves.

Had our only chalet. That's the only chalet we had FULL attendance of the whole class. Had loads of fun back then though the location was a little far fetched.

Thankfully, the whole class passed through year 2 without much major problems. But sad to say, Eugenia had left us to pursue her studies in another country. Heard that she dealt with the change very well, both academically and environmentally.

Year 3 came. Some of us had hell of a time with our studies while others are enjoying their slack life in Final Year Projects (FYP) and internship. We had new additions to the clique (Leonard and Yanling) and we had another BBQ over at Desmond's house after their FYP and attachment.

The second half of semester was hell for some who kept complaining of having depressions and insomnia due to projects while others who are having FYP and attachment are enjoying the remaining slack semester.

Everything (academically) came to an end just 2 days ago where the class had their graduation. I didn't get to graduate with them but I do share their joy and excitement of graduating have a diploma in hand.

And just yesterday, we had our very last BBQ together as a class. Though the attendance was pretty disappointing, but we had great fun.

A toast to people who stood by each other in times of need. A toast to people who helped each other along the way for this 3 years. And a toast to all that made our class significant. Look at how much we have 'evolved'!

We have cross each other's path in a more than significant way and I hope we will remain it this way. We definitely had a happy ending for our story. But a happy ending marks the beginning of a new chapter. Be it, National Service, further studies and for some, into the social working life. We hope all are good and luck for your individual future endeavour. Thanks for all that made my poly life a memorable one.

Keep in touch people! The spirit of 'Still Thinking' lives in all of us.
