Destined For Greatness

3 years have passed and i have graduated.

From the 1st week of Poly which i felt depressed to the last day of graduation where i felt absoutely great was a long, tricky, ardous but equally fun and fantastic journey. There were times in this 3 years when i really thought that's it, its the end, i am giving up. I still remember me speaking to Weilun just before a retest and i remembered we seriously contemplated the possibility of needing to repeat a year in poly. I remembered the times when i simply gave up on exams and decide to leave my fate to the kindness of my lecturers. I remembered the times when i resigned to fate and resign to the fact that i will possibly be staying a year more in poly. Of course in the end, all of these did not happen

Today i made it through mainly because of 2 person in my life which made a huge impact.

First of all, its my lecturer Mdm Chua Hai Eng. I used to sleep and skip her classes because the module she taught was the one that i hated or feared the most. Visualizing diagrams is my achilles heel and throughout my 3 years, it was always my biggest worry. She had every reason to give up on me but i guessed she did not. During the end of year 2, i knew i wasn't going to make it and i was mentally prepared to repeat the module but to my pleasant surprise, i made it.This was the turning point.I strongly believed it was because Mdm Chua gave me another chance. Mdm Chua always taught me patiently and i am very grateful to her for giving me another chance. Although i barely make it in the final year, i am glad to say i passed 1 of the test! To me, its already quite an amazing achievement! Hopefully your younger son don't turn into my size hor! THANK YOU MDM CHUA!

I don't think she needs any introduction here right? hahaha

Well, Peifen played the biggest role in my life during these 3 years. Without her, i can swear to you, i would never have the chance to wear that robe and take that photo with her.To think that i made her cried before due to my childishness. With my disastrous results during the first year, you could say i had nothing left to fight for for the remaining time in poly. She woke me up greatly as i realised she never gave up on me. How could i give up when she did not give up on me despite me being probably the laziest and hopeless classmate. She was always there to help me, you could say 99% of the time. She put in a great deal of effort to help me.

If i still cannot understand what is going on after she explained for 5 times, she will make sure she explain the 6th time to make sure i understand.During year 2, we had to choose our option for year 3 and that means we could be seperated from being classmates. I talked to her about it and i could remember vividly that she told me "If you choose QS, i promised i will help you" After that, there was nothing more to think about, i made my decision and we graduated as classmates.

She had no reason to help me but she did and i enjoyed the studying sessions with her and other classmates. Without her, i would have never graduated and i am so sure of this. This will be the last time i am thanking you for this, THANK YOU PEIFEN!

and finally to my classmates! They have been with me for the past 3 years and i hoped that you will remember me as the guy who puts a smile on your faces. I will missed disturbing you guys. All of you have been a great help to me as well. The fact is that we will never be the most outgoing class but if you give me a choice again, i will choose you guys once again to be my classmates.

It has been a really long journey till today. I am not proud of my results but i am proud of what i went through and the way i picked myself up. I know that my results does not reflect my true intelligence and capability. Whatever it is, i don't believe you can find better lecturers and classmates elsewhere.
