Graduation/Prom night and my entire secondary school life ✿
By Gillian Yoong ♥ - Tuesday, November 18, 2014
Hi guys, this will be a pretty lengthy post because I'll be writing about my entire secondary 1 to secondary 4 life here to be kept as reminiscence, including my graduation night and individual letters to people whom I've taken a photo with. :-)
Secondary 1: Well, to sum up my entire secondary 1 life, it was all about being lonely, ostracised and hated. Yes guys, I was disliked by many people because I was seen as a "step one ahlian" kind of person HAHAH! Indeed, I acted like one. E.g. Fringe down, folded skirt and ankle socks?
P.s. So yeah to any girls/guys around my age at that point in time, I strongly encourage you to not act like me in the past please hahah! Look at how I was in the past man, totally a joke, so embarrassing and childish omg! You won't wanna follow my footsteps yo! DEFINITELY NOT COOL PLS AH.
This was me when I was sec 1 HAHAH! DON'T LAUGH PLEASE I KNOW I LOOK LIKE SOME GAY FAG! |
Initially, I was well-liked by my classmates. I was even voted to become the class chairperson. (DON'T MAKE FUN PLS I KNOW YOU CANNOT BELIEVE IT, I ALSO, LIKE WHAT THE HECK GILLIAN CHAIRPERSON YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME HAHAHAH YAH IKR but don't liddat la must give me chance hahah! :p)
I still remember our first camp which was at the zoo. (I swore to never step into the zoo again after the camp) Slept in tents shared with 5 people which were flooded with water because of the rain and we had no shelter?! I still remember laughing at how my friends slept and all the stupid things we did hahah!
A lot of girls in my class disliked me and spread rumours about me because of this one senior that liked me which a girl in our class likes lol. My friends left me out and I became all alone. I hated the word "group" in my class so much. Whenever I hear this word, I'll be like "wah shit" and I'll ask to go to the restroom to skip that period, all because I haven't had any group I could go to. Anyone knows how much this feeling sucks? The worst thing is, when I come back from the toilet, my teacher will be like, "go and find a group" and I'll be like standing there pathetically looking at her before she assigns me to a group. E.g. There was this one time I was assigned to this very group where everyone disliked me, we had to play this game where everyone simply join hands across one another and try to twist here and there to untangle that knot we created with our hands. I was somehow pushed out of the group and the teacher told me to go back to the group. I went back and got pushed out again somehow lol. So i'm like okay that's it.
I was left all alone, had no one to go to and thus, wrote diaries to keep me company, I still have them with me and whenever I read them, I'll be like "wah gillian what have you been doing in life?! Why your English so cui, why you so pathetic forever saying you left out, and why you forever scolding people one." HAHAHAH!
However, the most indelible moment in sec 1 which I'll never ever forget, was the part where my form teacher had actually asked the class whether they wanted to change the vice chairperson and chairperson right in front of me and chester (vice chairperson). The most hurtful thing was when you see people raising up their hands. Can you imagine that scenario? Can you actually feel how hurtful it felt when you see your classmates raising their hands, voting to change you? The best thing is Chester and I had to even vote to choose our chairperson and vice chairperson LOL!
I was on the verge of breaking down into tears but I held on till the bell rang, and I ran down to the 1st floor changing room toilet and cried there. Apparently, the 1st floor changing toilet room has always been one of my most frequent place because that was where I always hid and cried hahah!
However, I was fortunate enough to have friends like Evan and Paolo who stood by me despite all the bad things going round about me. I also had friends from other classes and the one I'll never forget is Melissa. :-)
Melissa and I during sec 1. HAHAHAH OUR FACE SO JIAO I CANT EVEN !#%#!$!~ |
Thank you for being my friend and thank you for standing by me when I was at my wit's end. I will never ever forget you guys because you guys were that glimmer of hope I had. Really, thank you so much.
Secondary 1 was one phase in life I hated most, but I'm thankful for what I've gone through as it has built me up into a stronger person. :-)
Secondary 2: Secondary 2 was similar to Secondary 1 too. It wasn't very bad but still as bad as Sec 1 HAHAH! I reconciled with my friends but still, there were plenty of hypocritical dramas going on as usual like how I treated this girl as my really good friend but sadly, she disliked me, talked behind my back but still pretended to like me.
So yup, to start off with sec 2, we went to Malacca for our camp.
Ashlyn and I! Hahahah I look gay as usual seriously! |
However during the trip, for some reason my friends left me out again on purpose. No one remembers the reason till now hahah! I still vividly remember it was the last day which was on the 3rd day when I was ostracised again.
I still remember we went to this kampong place to play games. We were separated into 2 groups. My friends including me consisted of 4 people (let's name my 3 friends A, B, C) "A", "C" and I were in one group, and "B" was in another. "A" asked a malay guy quite loudly, "can you change with "B" or not, so she can come here." Then the malay guy said, "then what about gillian?" And I totally heard that LOL. "A" kept quiet and whispered behind me. I was really dejected so I went over to "B" and told her to switch with me cuz "A" wants her there. "B" then sort of shove me off saying "I don't want to go over" Then I'm like, 自作自受 (act myself and suffer the consequence) hahah!
I was then not invited to play the games at all. No one bothered, cared or even noticed, not even the teachers lol. I sat at one corner, looked at the sky, suddenly thought of my late grandmother and almost wanted to cry but of course I held it in. However, my friend Evan just had to suddenly come over, look at me and ask "eh you okay or not?" and then kaboom, I broke into tears. Anyone feel me?! That moment when you were holding your tears so badly and cuz someone cared, someone showed that small little act of care and you just explode.
Hahahah I will never forget that moment. :') Even after being left out, thankfully my guy friends invited me to sit with them and have lunch with them. I got along well with the guys in my class more than the girls ironically. Even though I had a bunch of guy friends, I didn't want to hang out with them cuz I didn't want to be called a flirt hahah (right?! Sec sch little bit also called flirt zzz lame) and thus, I was all alone again.
Additionally, secondary 2 was a phase in life I hated most as well because my friend whom I had always treated as a good friend which was "A", had ruined the relationship between me and the guy whom I had always liked a lot for a pretty long time (about a year?) and the fact that she knew I liked him. Not only that, she told him all the bad things, flaws, imperfections and probably some unreal things about me to him too. Totally destroyed my image portrayed to him so badly. She did tons of stuff to me like pouring green tea on my seat in the parade square, telling me she went steady with the guy I liked (which was fake), telling me lies, talking behind my back, and still pretended to be my friend. I was a pretty foolish and naive person. I always believed her lies and I trusted her.
Many things happened, she got ostracised and subsequently changed into a much better, nice and sweet person. I've forgiven her, not because she had changed but because even though she caused me so much misery, there were still some point in time when she made me smile, laugh and treated me really nice. Even if they were to be fake, at least she made me happy, and for that I forgive her.
We were streamed into different classes when we got into sec 3. Even so, what we've gone through will never be forgotten. I still remember how you slept in the tent during the zoo camp in sec 1 and how I placed both your hands on your boobs while you were sleeping so soundly and took a photo of it HAHAHAH! I also remember how when I only wanted to borrow some of your dramas to watch, you just gave it to me instead. Not 1, not 2, but 3 DVDs. If you happen to read this, just remember that I still treat you as my good friend and thank you for all the memories we shared be it good or bad. :-)
Legit photo of me guys, at least I don't look like some gay faggot here HAHAH ! With amanda!!!! ^__^ |
MY SEC 2 FACE YAYYY GUYS I FOUND ANOTHER LEGIT SEC 2 FACE OF MINE HAHAHAHAHEHEHEHO !!!! XD This was a shot with amanda and it was when we were performing for our music festival! |
This was my performance during the festival. There were tons of mistakes, guys please give chance I was only 14 and I was so nervous man hahahah!
Secondary 3: This was when things took a better change for me probably because all of us in the express stream got streamed into different classes.
Ashlyn became my best friend officially!!!! Well honestly, she was a bitch to me during sec 1 and 2. She hated me too and she was one of those classmates who voted to change me as the chairperson. HAHAH! She's pretty dense even till now hahah! She didn't realise all the hurt she had inflicted onto me only after I allowed her to read one of my diaries. That was when things took a gradual change and she treated me even better than before and it was literally as if she was possessed by an angel, I'm not kidding okay hahah! She wrote me a card guys, SHE WROTE ME A CARD WHICH IS 1/99999999 PROBABILITY SHE'D EVER WRITE SOMEONE A CARD HAHAH! She told me she felt really guilty after she read my diary.
Breelyn was one of my best friends in school too along with Ashlyn. Breelyn and I had a very complicated friendship. We can be friends and not friends one moment and another hahah! But when we began sec 3, such things stopped happening already probably because we've learnt to stop being so childish.
Even though sec 3 was a turning point in life for me, there was still a moment in sec 3 when I felt really sad too and it was during Pahang trip. Pahang trip was the best to me out of all the other camps I've been to, simply because I wasn't left out and I enjoyed myself to the fullest,
I had this clique which started in sec 2 called, "12JBAGS". It consisted of 7 people in the clique. 12 = R, which meant Randall. 2J = Jarran and Junjie. B was Breelyn, A was Ashlyn, G was for me and S for Skye.
We even made a clique tee. Hahahah!!! |
The back of the shirt! |
We hanged out together almost everyday after school, going to nearby malls like Westmall or Lot 1 to have our lunch. I also remember during our end of year holidays, we went to Sentosa to play too! Such reminiscence guys. :')
Unfortunately, during Pahang trip, this clique was somehow disbanded simply because one of them left the clique and I believe that it was because all of us became separated after we were streamed into different classes and found new friends.
I still remember that moment during Pahang trip when one of our clique members said to this member that left, "eh you still in our clique or not?" That member either shrug his/her shoulders or ignored my friend and that's when my friend said, "just fuck off from our clique". That was when I knew this clique was over. A whole lot of memories flushed through my mind in that instant, and I realised that what we've been through together was gone, it'll never come back anymore, and that was when I started to break down and cry.
I sound like a crybaby guys hahahah but it just feels so hurtful to me. I wonder if anyone knows how this exactly feels. It's like we're not gonna eat together, play together, have fun together and go out together anymore. That member became strangers with us and we stopped talking. To know that something or someone is not gonna come back anymore and all you're left with are merely memories. And all I'm actually left with affiliated to this clique is our clique tee. All the moments we once shared, those joy, laughter, fun times, all just gone.
It was hard for me to accept, but I still accepted it reluctantly anyway. I just want to thank each and every one of you guys for being part of this clique, for allowing me to be part of this clique, and most of all, made me happy most of the time. It was honestly fun hanging out with you guys, eating together at koufu/KFC/burger king after school almost everyday like as if it's our standard routine hahah! I love all of you. :-)
This song below is for you guys. Thank you, I love you and goodbye.
Secondary 4: This was my last year in secondary school and it was the best year of my life. Although we were all taking our O levels which was so hectic and stressful, it was still my favourite year of all. It was all because I found my all-time favourite and best clique ever and I was neither left out nor had a moment of loneliness at all in school.
Not only that, I never had any feud with anyone anymore, never hated/disliked anyone in school, (except the teachers DUH HAHAH!) got along well with everybody and felt the happiest when I was in school!!! ^__^ Life was simply amazing and smooth for me.
The clique which I had found has no name but it consists of 6 people. Ashlyn, Jamie, Stacey, Boonyong, Rachel and I.
Whole clique outing to celebrate Ashlyn's birthday! Left to right: Boonyong, Jamie, Me, Stacey, Ashlyn and Rachel ! |
Shot we took during National day celebration and some cut-out shots of boonyong and Jamie by me HEEHEHEHEH! XD |
This clique has been by far the best clique ever to me. We shared our biggest secrets with one another, are super open and we often or probably 24/7 act like retards. We only got close together this year sadly. Can't remember how we got so close but I'm so glad we did! Even though we'll be going our separate ways very soon, I'm pretty sure our friendship will last forever. Let's catch up more often alright stupid people! I just want to tell you guys that.... I don't love you. K
Lastly, to my class 4-6,
You guys are the best class ever to me. Other people may say or think that other classes are more bonded or better than our class or whatsoever, but do know that this class will always be the best and the most bonded class ever to me. We may have been segregated according to our race, but at the end of the day, we're still one, and we're still a one big family! :-)
I still remember this one day when a whole lot of you helped and supported me back when our co-form teacher was being ridiculous. It was when she arranged a timetable for us to do our individual duties. It was on a Wednesday morning, my duty was on Tuesday and she told me to do my duty by sweeping the floor, because the mess was so called created yesterday, so I had to sweep the floor. RETARDED RIGHT?!
Like what the heck?! It's a Wednesday, and you want me to do my duty which was supposed to be on Tuesday??? Then you create the timetable for what bruh? |
Then I was like, "no. Today is a Wednesday so ask the person on duty to do it instead." LOL! Then she kept arguing with me about her dumbass logic thing what the mess was created on Tuesday so I should clear it. -____- Then I argued back with her and my classmates were like shouting, "YAHLOR!" and "Cher don't lame lah" HAHAHAH I will never ever forget that! She lost in the end! :p
So yeah, I felt really really touched by this small little gesture guys. :')
So I was sleeping in class, like really sleeping and my classmates just had to stack so many bags on my head to disturb me. To be honest, I didn't realise it at all HAHAHAH! Retarded people! |
Officially last day of school before O levels.
Husband and wife constant bickering |
Despite all, I still love my wife. (Rachel if you see this, the title very familiar right?! ;D You know I know >;D) |
What on earth |
Our Latin dance |
Our Egyptian dance |
Some Egyptian move which I can't comprehend |
Group of imbeciles |
Muscular and mental disorder |
B.A.G ! :-) |
Intense Latin dance |
Our dance |

My class, 4-6!!! Most awesome class award!!!!! ^__^ |
No words can describe how much I love this class so much, Thanks a bunch for making my Sec 4 life such a memorable and enjoyable one. We're all gonna be separated very soon and I wish all of you the best of luck in your future! :-) Love you all so much! THANK YOU! ^__~
Graduation night/ Prom
14 November 2014 was our prom night! Our prom was held in the school hall! :-) Most of you might be laughing away or scoffing at how ridiculous our venue is, but trust me, having our graduation night in school is better than having it in a 5-star hotel or whatsoever high-class kinda place. Simply because this is where our memories were created. :-)
We had food from 5-star hotels though, and our principal was really generous enough to invite a host and a DJ for our prom! Our hall was also decorated so beautifully and elegantly! :-)

Hi Evan!!! It has been such a great joy knowing you! You were one of my good friends during sec 1 and I wouldn't forget how you stood by me when I was being ostracised. Thank you for always making me laugh intentionally to see me spill water out from my mouth, the sharing of our racist jokes, and most of all, being there for me. You've grown so tall now with your signature beard and eyebrows hahah! Even though we sort of stopped being friends for quite a while, I'm so glad we managed to break the ice and patch things up once again! Anyway, you look great in your suit boy boy! Congratulations to you and Yani for being the Prom king and queen WOOOO!!!!! |
You know, I totally don't feel good about being nominated or even winning 2nd for the Prom Queen title at all. There were so many other potential contestants that should have taken my place instead and I really don't think I deserve it at all. I don't even know why was my name even called like guys what were you all trying to do. I felt really sad, even till now to be honest. My friends had initially wanted to call another person but ended up shouting my name so loudly which had me by surprise because I wasn't paying attention as I was using my phone hahah!
But honestly speaking, I won't lie but it felt good to be nominated. However, I really feel that such titles should be given to all of us simply because EVERYONE present was so gorgeous, alluring and pulchritudinous and I'm not even kidding. The guys were all so handsome (for once) and the girls were all simply beautiful.
However, I had a friend whom I call my best friend, did not vote for me at all, but voted for another couple instead and even commented on their photo. You know guys, it's totally not about winning at all to me. I didn't even bother to give a shit about it. I came to prom with the objective of eating, taking photos and making my graduation day a memorable one. But thing is, my so called "best friend" didn't bother to support me at all. To me, it's not about the winning, but the supporting of your own friends. It felt really kinda hurtful to me if you can comprehend what i'm trying to say.
Like even if my friend were to be nominated but I don't feel like she deserves it, I'd still support her all the way for the reason because she's my friend. I don't know about you guys, but after that I felt really demoralised and felt that I didn't have the potential to even be nominated.
It's pretty saddening to have someone you call your best friend, to not support you and instead support others when she could have supported both. Till now, I still feel like I shouldn't have went up, I should have said that I had diarrhea or smth and escaped that hahahah!
Just sharing my thoughts with you guys! Really hope someone understands. You know what, I just hate competitions based on votes. It's pretty stupid because there would definitely be people who objects to other people winning.
But at the end of the day, I enjoyed myself on stage with my partner fully. It was so fun. ^__^ Even though I feel like I shouldn't have been nominated, I still wanna thank those people who nominated me. Because of them, I was able to enjoy my prom night so much and make this day one of the most memorable day ever in my life. Thank you so much guys for making my objective a successful one. :')
Here's a video of the entire stage performance my partner and I had to do hahah! ^__^
This post is by far the most memorable post to me. Super lengthy but I think it's worth it. Years from now, I'd be able to look through it and tell myself, "wow my secondary school life has been one of the best part in my life I swear, and I'll never forget this phase in life which I've been through for 4 years because it'll forever be embedded in my mind." :-)
Last song which is specially for my school mates! The main part of this song is in the chorus. :-) (A really old song, older than all of us but it's really nice and meaningful, so enjoy! ^__^ )
Love you all and goodbye guys! It has been a wonderful journey with all of you. :')
