Freedom, freeeeedom.

(Backdated November 19, 2010)

'O' LEVELS ARE  OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Toss the confetti, blow the noise makers, scream at the top of your lungs... and crank up that old George Michael song! Can you believe it?! Cause I can't!!

Just like that, the biggest academic hurdle of my life so far is over. A month and a half ago, it seemed so daunting, and I felt like November 19th would never ever come.

Unfortunately for me, I hadn't realized that 'O' Levels are definitely not the only thing I need to worry about this month.

As every single other Form 5 student in Brunei starts to throw their hands up in the air saying AYOOOOO, I have to figure out how I'm going to:

1.) Pack every single item I own (true, a lot of it's going to fall prey to the dreaded black trash bag).
2.) Visit all my favourite places in Brunei (Jerudong Park one last time, all my old houses, Kampung Ayer and the mosques... for the first time mind you -_-)
3.) Survive graduation and prom in one piece (i.e. without crying till my eyes fall out)
4.) Say goodbye to almost all the friends I've ever known.
And 5.) I have to do it all before December 1st.

Wow. That doesn't sound the LEAST bit hard D:

So yeap, that's basically the gist of it. On December 1st, I'll be on a one-way flight to KL. I don't know what else I can say except that instead of feeling free as a bird, I feel so overwhelmed.

Okay enough, I plan to reserve one entire blog post for my whole goodbye Brunei sob-story. Stay tuned, not to be missed. LOL!

Might as well show photos from the last day of school while I'm on the topic of school (and I've something different reserved for my graduation post hehe). It was a pretty emotional day, and I blogged about it a while back.

Out of the 173 pics (yes it was a shutter-happy day!), these are some of my faves! All snapped with Jia Yee's camera and uploaded on her Facebook.

Wanna find out how the world's nerdiest class ever spends its last day together?
