One in a Million

I was listening to One in a Million just now (miss congeniality soundtrack) And ive realised how much ive changed and i wonder. When i was p4-p6 i was very on. So hyped up with everything. I had to be good, and concerned when i was not. Prefect, model student, monitor, NKF student blah blah blah whatever. I was voted for many things ( one im still very happy about was the CLE one where we were to say who u appreciated most at the end of the year and comment, and i got er the most?) Things like that mattered for me then, and my company, i had to be among the "coolest", even if their attitude was not that good. I realise how wrong i was. I voluntered for many stuff, signed up for many things, when i was one of the 12 to be chosen to do Innovative Program (Others do Research Education, yes we had that in primary school) i was excited, everything was a challenge for me. Yes i had to preserve my image and be popular. But at the end of each year, i would realise how tired i was. At p5 i knew the people i hung out with were not very nice acty, too full of themselves etc (like kenneth acty) but they were supposedly "popular" and the people i had always been with for p4 too. But i felt tired with the way they treated people and thankfully in p6 i was given a wonderful class. Thank u Titus, Naomi, Benji! Weixiong, Claire, Jonathan, Chermaine, Joseph and Boo. U guys were great, u were not mean u were nice and we really existed as a class then (with the others of course but u guys were closest to me in our class). Yes we were the so very nicest class with the best teacher and we really cared for each other really well. Go 6L, we rocked!

When i advanced into secondary school, i felt like i had left something baehind. Yes well, it was my desire to be the best, the enthusiam and determination. I stopped voluteering for anything at all, at every chance i had i turned it down. I was very tired. This year i was offered a place in the Hullett Memorial Library exco. I turned it down. I knew it was a mistake but i just couldnt be bothered. They gave me a reward for most commendable librarian anyway, probably cos i did not take it up. Well i dont really care. I stopped really caring about a lot of things a long time ago. I realised i'd left my hope behind. My desire to be the best, to be unique, to be one in a million.

When i heard that song, i felt like laughing and crying at the same time. At myself. Ive given up.


One in a million.






A sign from the sky
Said to me

You're one in a million
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover one of the stars above us
You're one in a million
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover one of the stars above us
