College is finally here, joyous! (Or is this just an illusion?)
Since I moved from my old house near Farm Cove Intermediate during the summer holidays, I chose to go to Howick College as my secondary school. My first days were not ones I would like to remember. When I first went there I didn't have many friends, my core class was even more dreadful - there were only two faces I was familiar with but I did not know them well at all. There wasn't an Asian face in sight either. Life was dreadful then, but it all took time to get used to it.
After some time, I made friends and knew my classmates better, so it wasn't that bad. But every time we go on camp (like P.E. camp and Science camp) I always go with my core class, which is too boring, because there wasn't a 'somebody' who spoke the same language as I did, thus no one to really talk to. Now in our level there isn't any core classes, so my wish never came true, but that doesn't matter now. It only mattered back then.
As time passes by, so did my attitude towards people. Those whom I used to be friends with aren't my friends anymore. If you must insist on thinking that they're my enemies, so be it. I made friends with a lot of Kiwi guys and girls, and other non-Kiwi guys and girls (like... Aussies? South Africans?). So, life doesn't really surround Asians anymore. Globalisation is the term of the day.
College is a place to get busier and busier each year. From the third form, life is still a breeze, but as each year progresses, things get more difficult and homework load rockets as soon as you get into the fifth form. I just hope that I'd be able to pass through whatever exams I have to do in my education life. I'm realistic, and I admit that. Who wouldn't be anyway?
And someone suggested that we should put up some hot goss on my homepage. My answer: Well, not that I'd be updating this really frequently and after all, gossip is gossip. It's usually juicy, bitchy things so honestly speaking, if you were being bitched upon you wouldn't like your rumours to be on the Internet, would you? :)
