Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle....

Frankly speaking, the secondary school that I was in was not the first choice after my PSLE.. However, I did not mind to go to AMKSS(Ang Mo Kio Sec Sch) because 2 of my brothers had studied in this school before...

At first, I was quite shocked that I would be wearing the green colour uniform for the 4 years in secondary school. My brothers did tease me that I looked like a Ninja Turtle. On top of this, I felt that secondary school life was totally different from primary school life for me. Everything was so rush and more emphasis was put on academic and ECA results. I still could remember that I was shocked that I needed to study for the common tests. I did not study for my first History test and I was frightened when I saw how difficult the questions were. Eventually, I flunged the test. In addition, there were so many tests every few weeks and needed to plan my schedule to study for the tests.

I joined my CCA as NPCC (National Police Cadet Corp) and Chinese LDDS (中文学会 ). Coincidentally, my brothers had chosen these CCAs before and it seems that I was following their footpaths. By the way, my brothers were many years older than me and I was still able to see their names and photos in some of the old photograph books. I had chosen these combinations because I wanted to train up my physical fitness and I was also interested in learning more of the chinese culture.

I have made many friends in the schools and are still in contact even up to today. My class was the fourth class throughout my secondary life (i.e. 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4). Basically, my life in secondary school can be splitted into lower sec (2/4) and upper sec (4/4). I would write a separate blog for each of them after this...
