IJ..........
So much to say......... where do i start ? it has shaped who i am today so much. A little bit of heaven and hell it was. But definetely had some of the best experiences of my life there and i made my BESTIES there!
Ok, start with the good bits. I entered IJ at the age 10, after leaving crappy RGPS ( stupid teachers ) Strangely i can still remember gayle's nerva saying " this class is wacky!" when i entered 5 daisy. " THe new girl" in the school. THat is when i meet Pei ying, the little girl with two long braids and vanessa or nessa. We became great friends. I'm so glad i met them.
Some of the best moments for me is during the masses, especially when the whole class wraps their arms around each others shoulders and sways to the music. I am telling you there is NO OTHER FEELING like that in the world. The whole feeling of unity and belonging, nothing can break us down! That for me is the epitome of IJ. The prayers, the masses and cat classes. I miss the whole catholic school feeling.
I've realised how secular the world is now that i've come out of such a christian environment. But at least it;s made me a lot stronger in my faith, ( thanks to bible study as well)
The teacher have been so wonderfully dedicated to us. Ms Lim, who tried to make physics interesting for us! ( probably not very successful in my case) Ms Annabelle chow who made history really enjoyable and fun. To the bio teacher, who made bio really interesting subject and worked us soooooo haaaard !!! thank you! ( i owe my b3 to her) AND to Mrs P who was soooo dedicated and determined to help us through the ordeal of Math O level . ( I PASSED WOO HOO) IJ teachers were so dedicated, helpful and i haven't meet any other teachers ( even here ) who have cared so geniunely for us. Lastly to Mrs low, for pushing us so hard in english and refusing to give up on us ( ok, though she did wallk out on us once or twice) IJ teachers are the best, the most caring, concerned and full of selflessness. God bless all of them. You will never be forgotten.
The bad stuff..........
Ok, so maybe it is really like this in almost all girls schools but.......... After i left IJ, i realised what a bitchy, cliquish society it was. After i left IJ, i missed it yes, but not the stupid arguments and confrontations , how fucking alienated and left out i always felt, like i was some kind of outsider looking in. How invisible i was made to feel, there were times when i really felt my lowest ever during those 5 yrs, it seems so long those five years, yet it is hard to imagine that it is over! for the longest time whenever i was asked which school i came from it was always " IJ toa payoh Secondary" now it's " I'm studying in canada now" wow ! But what doesn't kill you makes you stronger right? I learned independence and though i had been a loner, i was ok with it. I didn't care if ppl hated/scorned me for reasons that i don't care to know now. The severed ties, the stupid wasted tears. It was defeinetly one of the hardest periods of my life, not cos just cos of O levels. Cos of the way ppl treated me and made me feel. How conflicted i felt. I never hated IJ, just some of the ppl and the way i was made to feel. I'm so happy that i;ve moved on since then, i'm glad i've moved to another society, where i am content with where i am now. ( although the workload is like ERGHHH AHHHHHHH JUST KILL ME NOW PLS) i'd rather it than ( ERGHHH AHHHHHHH KILL ME NOW PLS x10) A levels. 3 yrs to get to uni, when i can get there by next yr??
As for certain communities of ppl in certain places, i am glad that i don't go there often anymore. The way that place makes me feel like sooooo '" you can't touch this" " this is what you'll never get" and sooo much more of the alienation and left-outedness i was made to feel It fucking hurt ppl when you never asked me and continuedly exlcuded me from things. HEll i've felt leftout my entire life. But since i've come here. HELL NO BABY. I feel so welcomed, with a sense of complete belonging, a new beginning was what i needed and i thank god for that.
