Founder's Day


And so it was, that I sat in the bus this morning on the way to TJ wondering exactly how I was going to pull it off. Assembly was surely going to end at 0745. I had to report to SJI at 0800. TJC was in Bedok. SJI was in Novena. I allowed my mind a brief moment of fantasy, to think that in times of great necessity, humans would suddenly gain the ability to teleport. But alas, it was not to be.


I reached TJ at 0702, as usual (kinda), and immediately bolted towards the General Office to get a permission slip to leave school after assembly. I spent the next few minutes running all around the school searching for my form tutor and a HOD to endorse the slip. I got it done 2 seconds before assembly started.


And when it was time to deliver my speech about Brunei, I gathered up all the skills the SJI and TJC Drama club imparted on me, and gave a (hopefully) good speech without sounding the least bit nervous or anxious to get it over with and get out of the school so I could go to SJI. So I fulfilled my responsibility to TJC. Next would be the responsibility to my alma mater.


The school was dismissed from assembly. I sprinted so hard out of the school, I couldn't see anything beside me. I think Olympic scouts will now be after me...


So I raced to a taxi stand and got whisked away to SJI. Naturally, I couldn't make it by 0800, but I reached there soon enough, about one minute before timeout. (cue the sigh of relief)


Obviously, it was a really tiring morning, and is continuing to be a really tiring day. But standing there on the podium during assembly and hearing the honestly heartfelt claps amidst the polite applause, it made the TJ part worth it. And standing up there on stage in SJI, receiving an award for what I love to do and do well, writing, it made the SJI part worth it.


So while my muscles feel the fatigue, I feel so alive.
