Reflection on Friday by Wang Haina

Today we were extremely busy, as one can see from the timetable that only one half-an-hour break was arranged from 7:40 to 15:10!! As we did so many things I feel that I cannot write everything here. Only the things I found most memorable will be recorded here.
As long as I met Elizabeth I presented my hand made London Tower Bridge model to her, and she liked it very, very much! I was especially delighted when Elizabeth encountered envious looks from her friends, 'Wow, your buddy's gift? That's so nice!!!!'
Their morning assembly was an engaging and inspiring event. I found myself immersed in the breathtaking melody of Singapore's National Anthem. The Victorian anthem was, sorry, less attractive to the ear but similarly strong in message. Then a video was played. Probably produced by the graduating batch of seniors, the video showed the history of VJC, its scenery today, and photos of all the exciting sports and activities Victorians have participated in the last year. As I watched my heart pounded excitedly as if I were just a 100% Victorian! I am proud of the school and really wish to be a part of it.
After hearing they were going to have a holiday which begins next Friday, a huge number of students rushed to the centre of the hall and spontaneously began a special form of celebration. They clapped their hands at exactly the same time and shouted words of joy. Cheerful are Victorians!!!
The next great part of today is how I tried to be a part of our class's learning experience. I am very grateful that my lovely buddy asked me so many questions in chemistry. she had been so good a friend and I was willing to help her as much as I could, and she understood what I said super quickly!! After the class, I also discussed with the chemistry teacher, Ms Lee, on whether the oxidation number of S in S2O8（2-） should be +6 or +7. I managed to convince her that +6 was more reasonable, and that felt amazing:). I received a warm 'thank you' from her.
Lastly I would like to say that I love my buddy so much! She's cute, friendly, and full of positive energy. She is the best buddy I can ever imagine (no need hedging here haha). I really hope she will be enrolled in NUS sooner or later so that our story of learning together can go on and on!!
