Bye Bye High School

Alright, so technically, I still have to go to school. I still have to be in school. I still have to wait 1/2 a month more to finish up my SPM in order to complete my high school life. But, I had my graduation today. Dumb system, eh?



Anyway, I felt more self-conscious than ever in my car contemplating to hide out and skip the whole ceremony. I waited a whole 5 minutes. In the end decided to brave the storm. My heart thumped, my limbs shook, my brain stilled. And all of this drama because of a stupid dress.


Well, I didn't exactly like the dress. I down-right hated it. But all in the name of compromisation, eh?

I slowly wobbled to my friends. They didn't even notice that I've arrived. The nerve! You should have hailed the queen. Then they started consoling me. "Oh, it's not so bad!" Yeah, right! I was absolutely beating myself up.

And then, there's the dreadful ceremony. You're not supposed to talk, cheer, clap, sleep, read, take pictures or breathe apparently. Because it's this very "formal" event. I appreciate the teachers' work, I seriously do. However, wasn't it a little too much? After all, it is a function for us. Fun was the least they could have allowed us.

Which brings us to the ceremony itself. It reeked of doom.

I was bored to bits. Reason : I wasn't doing anything. At all. The guest of honor spoke of no limits. And mainly, I was seperated from my friends. They were at the other end having a photo frenzy and I was completely left out! The seating was horrible. While the hot, humid weather Malaysia's famous for left everyone in a sweating bonanza.

I didn't really enjoy the whole deal. Except for the picture-taking at the very end when everyone ran amock in the hall trying to get shots with everyone else. That I enjoyed. And the after-party when we booked ourselves spots in the cafe :) Good times. Good times.

The bad : I was given the finger while trying to get there.
