ABOUT MYSELF-Schools

After having a look at my friend's blog, I drew some inspiration from it as to what I can write about myself. I realised I've forgotten to mention about my schools! So i shall now touch on my alma maters.
My education journey started at St. Gabriel's Primary. I hope you actually have heard of this school before. My father told me that he wanted to enrol me into Catholic High but the school rejected me. Looking back, I am quite grateful of that rejection. The brotherhood ties I've had in St Gabriel's are priceless. That school was also responsible for 6 years of guided education, leading up to my adoloscent years. When i graduated from that school in Primary 6, I was pretty sad because none of my classmates was to follow me to my next educational institution- St. Joseph's Institution.
At first, I still couldn't quite get over the fact that no one I knew personally well was following me to SJI. However, it wasn't long before I came to know of a number of mutual friends there. I still remembered my first day of school- I alighted from my dad's car, sauntered towards the sidegate, proudly donning the all-white school attire, accompanied with a green-and-white striped tie. There was this sense of pride and delight that surged through me when i stepped onto the school compound for the first time. I was anticipating a wonderful 4 years in SJI. The assembly was equally memorable. The Secondary Ones were supposed to assemble at the hall. There, I came to know that I was posted to class 7, the class that were to be part & parcel of my exciting school life. That is when it all began for my secondary school life, which were to become a significant part of my life. The 4 years had been a rollercoaster ride, at the same time a very meaningful one. But that was the school that really groomed me to whatever I am today, maturing me in the process through the bitter & sweet tastes of life. It was where my character & personality were developed along with moral values instilled which collectively defines me. I am deeply grateful of the holistic education SJI has offered, which is why, to date, am still very proud of being a Josephian. I believe my sense of pride for SJI would last eternally.
As for AJC, the chapter has only begun..

ABOUT MYSELF

It's just SO difficult for me to fill in this post.
I know there's this section in Friendster as well and i faced a similar problem as well. I probably cannot do the same for this post.
Anyway, I'd still give a brief profile of myself nevertheless. Well, I was born on the first day of the last month in 1990, in Singapore that is. I personally think that I am lucky to be born on December as I'd never have to worry whether my birthday may clash with other events that may stem my birthday celebrations. I am also proud to say that I'm one of those few in this world who are left-sided. I know that many things are actually designed and orientated for right-handers, such that it might shortchange we left-handers, but never for a moment did I regret having a dominant left hand & leg. On the contrary, I feel special being one.
Okay I know I am struggling with this post. In truth so far i've only disclosed 2 facts about me. I really have a difficulty describing myself, simply because I feel different people might have different opinions about me. In addition, I am still in the procress of defining & personalising myself, just like every other typical adoloscent of my age. You can say that I have not totally found out about myself, or that I do not really know myself well enough yet. However, as subtle as it might be, I do stand by some principles and beliefs which are reflected by my behaviours. So, the rest would actually be for people to perceive.
OKAY I know I've written a lot and I didn't really notice it. Do you know that I took almost an hour to complete this first post? Alright that's all. You just read my first ever online blog post.
