It's definitely heartwarming to see all CCHY-ians coming together
trying so hard to trend #中正人 on twitter. I swear I was so freaking
touched to see my ENTIRE TIMELINE filled with 浓浓的中正情 ♥
Yes, it's the farewell party for our dear principal Mr Ong KH. Saw us through the best 4 years of my life and thinking of him = 中正精神 His emphasis on our moral values and the CCHY spirit is so... memorable. Because he's a very traditional man, I find him a very suitable principal for CCHY because it's like the 中正精神 is naturally part of him! I didn't speak to him much during the past 4 years. Some asked "why are we so sentimental when none of us was exactly close to him?" That's the point! The CCHY spirit! We dont need to be close to every single one in the CCHY family but it's the bond and love that keeps us all together and unique as CCHY-ians.
No matter if the trending excitement gonna only last for tonight, its just that that moment when everyone as a CCHY-ian feels proud of being one. Ranging from Mr Ong, teachers, students and even to the alumni. I remember in 2010, on just one typical school day recess, somehow, the entire school just started to crowd along the railings of our classroom block which started just purely because some sec5 seniors were standing at the railing staring at the garden looking as if a commotion was going on. Apparently, everyone just came together, looking at each other across the building and laughing at each other's stupidity hahaha! Times like this, the uniqueness of CCHY cannot be explained and only as a CCHY-ian will you feel the amazing-ness.
4 years in cchy have developed me so much beyond what I thought I could achieve. It gave me surprises one after another, offered plenty opportunities for me to prove myself. I gained so much experience and knowledge from within. Not literally textbook knowledge but all sort of interpersonal skills that developed me emotionally into a more matured individual. Cchy gave me the boost in confidence in life for I never knew I could achieve so much in the span of 4 years. (Not academically of course :P ) Life was being so kind to me. Being the VHP, getting the All Rounder award, getting the Prom Queen and one of the Top scholars for Olvl. No i'm not boasting but I'm really grateful for all that cchy has given me. All of my friends i have made there are definitely the biggest part of my secondary school life. I found enthusiasm to take part in so many things because of the motivations i got from all my friends and teachers. Because i found my little limelight in cchy and therefore, it's partly why i had the best times of my life there. And obviously, i also had my worst. I prefer not to go into the PBSC stuffs because its kind of tiring to keep repeating bad memories. Friends, families, teachers- I had all my worst of these in the past 4 years too.
To sum up, CCHY has by highest and lowest of my life.
& to ALL CCHY-ians, no matter if CCHY had your happiest of saddest memories of your life, it's undeniable that CCHY has been
part of your experience, part of your life and most importantly, part of YOU. So no matter how high you make it in life in future, BE PROUD that you are a CCHY-ian. Every experience- good or bad moulds you into who you are today or in the future.
For me, opting CCHY as my first option
is the best decision I have ever made in my life.
Love you Mr Ong, cause without you, CCHY wouldn't be so unique with such a cute and amiable principal whom i'm really glad i've crossed paths with. & not to forget, because you're my distant distant relative. Hahaha!!
To end off, I'M REALLY REGRETFUL I DIDN'T RETURN TO CCHY TODAY FOR THE FAREWELL PARTY :'((((((((((((
I'd definitely cry upon feeling the INTENSE cchy love in that most familiar environment.
