Things I Admire in my classmates
Hey guys, gurls, posted this on my blog and since not all of you read it, thought I'd post it here too, so you all know.
Things I can learn from and which I admire in my classmates in A01D(who rock btw) or were previously from the class
i shall be do a grace and post it alphabetically.
Aaron
Although he's really vulgar and seems to tell people they can 'f**k off'(quote from the guy himself), he's really a good friend. He tries to be nice to all and can (though he doesn't seem the sort) help you out if you need help. He has interesting insights, considering his many experiences. I can learn increase my insights to life from him.
Alison
A very cheerful (i must add this) little girl who's mostly smiling. She can be very egoistic (half-joking) but is fun-loving and a self-professed bimbo, but she' supportive of the class and loves the class lots. She's also quite hyperactive. I can learn how to smile always from her.
Carmen
I don't talk much to her, but she seems like one with a strong character, who also has her soft side at the same time. I can learn the characteristic of strength in different cicumstances from her.
Chen Xing
The newest member of our class who transferred from Pioneer(good choice I say and he proclaims so too). Although he has not integrated completely into our class culture yet, he's uniquely different in a positive way and is humble. He knows something called self-control, something I desperately need. I can learn the self-control this guy has.
Enli
I must admit I wasn't too fond of this little vulture at first, but I grew to be. She's very mature in her actions and for someone our age. She was the person I'm was referring to when I talked about being responsible. I seriously admire her. She's smart too.
Grace
The self-denying perfectionist who is absurdly neat and tidy. Although she seems slightly odd, she's not and she can play music real well from what I know. Something I am aiming to do with the guitar. She's got this really interesting laughter that she shares with Sarah. She's also very good at literature. I can learn to be fastidious from her.
Jishun
The smallest guy in class but he has a big character and I've neve seen him get angry, not even annoyed. He's really patient and puts up with my asking questions during math. He's also sporting and funny. I can learn to patience from him.
Marcus
He's the dota freak in class. I'm not sure how good he is, but he'lol definitely kick my ass, anyone does. He's good at piano too and despite seemingly being commanding and demanding at times, he really is quite a nice guy. He wants the best for the class and is also quite smart. If he wants to do something well and puts his mind to it, he will keep doing so till he gets it right, as seen from his playing the piano so much on one song to perfect it. I can learn being dedicated to the causes I have in mind from this guy.
Michelle
She's often made fun of for being anorexic though she really isn't and actually does eat quite a bit. Anyway, she's mighty fun and one of the most interesting characters in class. She's fun to talk to and thinks before she speaks as I recall through a particular incident when Nivi came and told us to sign a petition on doing away with pw, then she said its actually useful, but not in its present state, so it should just be improved upon; myself, on the other hand, when to go sign immediately, before realising upon 2nd thought that I agree with her. I can learn how to stop and think, considering my actions before carrying them out from this girl.
Nivi
I also need to get to know her better, but I think she's quite sporty, playing basketball with the guys. Not all girls would do that and also, she gets things done; she's in my pw group and she keeps us on the ball. I can learn being on the ball and being able to finish my given tasks on time from her.
Rachel
She's the female rocker of our class now that Nat's gone. Speaking of Nat, I didn't include her because I really don't know her at all, but she's nice from what I know. Anyway, Rachel is serving in her church's worship ministry and I respect that because it takes guts to perform in front of others and also because she giving back to God with what God has blessed her with-a seriously good voice. She's also violent at times though. haha. Yiwen would know. I can learn how to give back to God with what He has blessed me with from her.
Sarah
The class' 'mother'. Haha. Seriously though, I admire her for her ability to stand sure and stedfast(lol. BB motto) in her non-conforming ways in regards to not cursing or swearing. Although sometimes she comes across as naggy, I believe she's a good influence despite her crazy laughter she shares with Grace. She is unafraid to stand for what she believes in. I can learn that from her.
Sindhu
I remember her craziness during the senior class party and her OCD ways, not using the public toilet because it'd dirty and being really scared of library books because their disgustingly and horrendously dirty. Speaking of the class party, I remember she freaked Yiwen out by wanting to give him a peck on the cheek because she felt so loving. She then proceeded to give Aaron and I one. Lol. I've never been been given a peck prior to that. Haha. She's funny and a cool person to hang around, able to amuse herself. She's witty and humorous. I can learn how to hang loose from her, enjoying my friens' company.
Sophia
The maths genius and the one bearing the nickname 'Lady of Wisdom'. She's a really good girl and its interesting that I've found out she can be crappily fun too, despite being seemingly serious. She's good at chinese and has interesting analogies like how she realised that we should be able to factorise God from the various aspects of our lives; that echoes my belief of 'If God' not the God of every part of your life, He's not the God of your life at all'. She's vey disciplined and focused, gets her work done. I can learn that from her. I can also learn frugality from her.
Weiren
Most 'screwable guy in class'. Haha. He speaks worse chinese than me, but that's because he speaks french instead. He's from my church and enjoys sports. He is fun to hang around. I can learn French from him. hahahaha. lol. Jokes aside, I can learn how to be hardworking from him.
Ying Qing
Most 'screwable girl in class'. Lol. Parallels weiren. mmmm.... hahaha. She's cool because for a girl, she plays soccer and watches soccer. She's also funky because she took higher chinese and speak italian and french too. She's got a lot of suitors. Haha. She's quite guarded but a good friend indeed. She can see the nicest things in people and is accomodating. I can learn how to see the best in others from her.
Yiwen
He's the most 'AC'-ish RI boy in class and is sporting. He's really good at KI too, seeing he nearly topped or topped the class. He's really smart too, considering all his life he's never really mugged. He considers studying to be reading through the notes the night before exams. He's also great to be around. He's playful and enjoys simple pleasures in life, something I can learn to do.
Zhao Feng
The top student in class. Ironically, he's placed last here. Man, I've been doing this lit-esque thing a lot lately, drawing similarities to lit in so many things and playing with puns. Anyway, he's conscientious and a good CT rep, responsible and kind. I can learn those character traits from him.
Yea. I didn't wanna do a whole like remember this remember that post. That I'll do after prom or something but I was wanting to post on my blog and didn't know what to post and decided to follow through with this idea I had of doing this. So yea. Thanks for being my role models in your own different ways.
I think I shall go catch up on my missed sleep.
Goodnight.
