once a SSC always a SSC

a walk, a journey, a trip , a road, a path, a story

every single thing has a start, and of course, an end.

the second that u come out from your mother's womb.

you are alreadyt in a journey, in a story.

And in the human world, its call Life.

don't get me wrong, im not here to talk to you about life
come on, im onli 16, havent really got to know much about life.

But, i am ready to share with u
my SSC life,.... it played a big part in forming my life..

im not goin to tell u how i dead in my SSC life, but i am goin tell u hoe i lived!

able to be in ssc was a blast for me.

ever since i stepped into Kranji, i saw the ever stricking Yellow shirt
n i told myself,

hmmm one day... one day... i MUST wear tt shirt n roam the sch
n i did it!!

i didnt expect myself to be choosen for the Selection camp
it came with a shocked lol!!

the 3 years in SSC has been great

organising events like, Sports Day, Mid autumn, Chinese New Year, Teachers' day.....etc

thnks to SSC , i was able to attend n be part of the Leaders' Day

where, we had all the eyes on us as we walked into the hall with much Pride!

it was bcaz of SSC that i knew so many friends.

its through SSC that ppl in kranji saw me doing my usual crazy stuff
its through these that they wanted to noe more abt me
hence without SSC, i might be just another normal boy-next door
where, ppl might not even know i ever went to Kranji!

SSC taught me the phrase. '' nth is impossible'

and '' Dont take responsibility as a burden but as something u can learn from''

its throught SSC that i am confident to say tat
'' I AM A LEADER, but not just any leader but a SERVING LEADER''

there is a different...!!

i still remmeber alll the days where Mr Yeo will keep on explaining the

difference to us..

A leader is not there just to command or take charge..

A leader is more to Serve...

A leader must nvr just stand there n instruct
instead, they shld Make their hands dirty... do these themselve!!

have iniative!

tons of memories, tons of events, tons of scolding, tons of laughter, tons of sweat

has passed us..... its all over now..
no matter how hard we try, those things will nvr come back to us.

even if they do, it wont be the same....

we might be doing the same thing, at a different sch with a different team

n the process will not be the same...

i learnt that reaching the distination of our goal fun or memorable
its the process that we always look back at....!

3 years has dashed away at a blink of an eye.

i have been working with the same crew, the same people for 3 years.

we know each other at the back of our hands ( ok tt sounds wrong)

i never onces viewed SSC as a responsibility, a burden, a committee or a position...
rather i view it as a family..

we arent like the prefects where we must always be strict n put on a dull face all the time..

to me, the prefects are... hmm.... not tt fun..!

for us SSC, u nvr onces see us without a smile on our face , even when we are doin our duty

the funny thing is, we willl enough laugh n smile more when we are doin our duty
we just love doing them... its fun!!!..

our SSC chalet just ended a few days ago...

it was the 1st time we had our Fare-well party in a Chalet
it was something new, i must say...

1st, i must take ALL the SSC members n the teachers who made it happen...

i am realli very touched...

although, it was our farewelll party, a night where we are offically out of SSC ( which we do not want to )
u all might feel as though we are heartless, n that we didnt even shed a single tear..
but u guys are wrong, very wrong.

havent u guys heard of the phrase

'' nvr judge a book by its cover''

although all of us might be smiling , laughing loudly
inside, our hearts are bleeding.. we are crying inside.... its tearing us apart..

my dam always broke when mr yeo sang tt song...
as we thought n run through the times we had in SSC..

we might not noe anything abt our future...
but i noe something. tt as i leave kranji and go to a new sch
there will always a spot tt is empty in me...
a spot tt was once filled by SSC..

this was the Song that Mr yeo wrote for us
which he said was inspired by my post...
n he sang this while strumming his guitar......

you have been a part of me .

sometimes i wonder if i've never met you here
would i be the same now ?
would you be my friend ?
it's a journey that i never will regret
i've grown to be a man
you'll be proud of when i leave

chorus :
you have been a part of my life
you're part of my dreams
you lift me up when i fall
you have been the joy of my delight
your smile will keep me going
through pain and through my darkness
you're still part of my life.

THNKS SSC......... will nvr forget u guys....

ONCE A SSC, ALWAYS A SSC!!!!
