"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."
- Charles Dickens
The past two months that have been more or less a transition phase for my entry into junior college life left me with a whirlwind of emotions. Perhaps my departure from Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Secondary School (KCPSS) was more of a double-edged sword than merely joy and elation after all.
During the first orientation, I felt as though I'd made better friends in just a matter of days, as compared to the numerous sworn enemies in the four years I'd spent in KCPSS.
However, as time passed, conflicts arose, disagreements occurred, relationships fell apart, and to add to all that, I felt as though I was falling behind on school work again. It felt like secondary school all over again! Only this time, I don't have my only friend to rant to anymore. I was on my own. Again.
Then it hit me. I didn't succeed in causing myself to be the most hated person in KCPSS in just a couple of days. The first signs of resentment from the school towards me also happened as a result of my unsatisfactory attitude towards people over a longer period of time. Thus, my journey in a foreign environment will start all over again come Monday, 19th March. This time, it'll end up without everyone hating me. Hopefully.
Hello there. My name is Francis, and I come from Bishan. I'd prefer to not introduce myself in too much detail, as you would be more likely to find out my idiosyncrasies through personal encounters with yours truly. I will, however, provide you with some of my interests in general. I like to involve myself in recreation, both indoor and outdoor, and I often sit in front of the computer, clueless about my initial objective in turning this complex mechanism on. I wouldn't like talk about the things I dislike, but I should, so I will. I loathe hypocrites, even though I can't say I'm not one myself. Finally, to end off, I will admit that there is one thing that scares the daylights out of me, though I won't specify what. For my own safety.
