Good day!!!

In case you have forgotten, I'm the first owner of this blog. Haha, hope everyone is doing fine during the holidays. The deadline for secondary school registration has just passed and I wish you the best in getting to the school that you want (and suit you the best).

Now is the time for recharge - a period of rest or play. Well, you deserve this time for the hard work that you have put in. Some of you may be travelling overseas during this break, some may be visiting relatives locally or even in Malaysia. Some may be meeting friends for movie, lunch, basketball, neo-prints taking etc. Of course there are some who have nothing to do and simply, stay at home. One thing for sure, you are not in school having lessons! ... (it's weird, but this is the only thing that I miss during the holidays).

No matter how much you miss your friends or time spent in school, the fact stays - you have already graduated. For you, it's a feeling you are not used to. In the past, you could always look forward to the class that you were promoted to, and knowing that your FRIENDS were still be around, be it in the same or other classes. This time round, nothing is certain. You do not know the school that you are posted to (unless you've been accepted under the Direct School Admission programme), neither do you know your new class, classmates, schoolmates, teachers etc.

Feeling nostalgic? Haha, I do. Well, as I always said, you cannot discount the bonding built within the class. We have come a long way... 5RS + 6RS (form and banded class)... close to 2 yrs, more than 700 days, 4200 hrs, 252 000 min, 15 120 000 sec... no one can take away those memories (of course, people do get old and memory starts to fail them.. hahaha). The challenge is... we MUST get used to this feeling.. the feeling of missing your friends and ADMPS.

Why? This is part and parcel of life. There are many stages in our lives and for every stage, there is a beginning and there is an ending. This cycle occurs many times. Time will heal everything and soon, you will eventually get used to this feeling as you embark on your secondary school life. In fact, some of you are already getting used to this feeling and looking forward to next year. I'm excited for 2010 and I guess you are as well.

Actually, before this year ends, there's something which I'm looking forward to... that's our school magazine! Hmmm, so far there is no news about it but I suppose you can get it when you collect your PSLE certificate some time in December (hopefully I'm back in time to get hold of the magazine). Other than that, I really need this holidays to recharge myself before 2010 kicks in fast and furious.

Hope to keep in touch with you people through this blog... if not, you should know how to reach me if you need to.

Take care! Be happy. Smile always.

Yours truly,

Mr. A. T
