Today was a day that I hope would only happen this time and never again. The reason I say this is because I did something terribly wrong today and I understand how Mr. Tan and Mr. Chua feels. For the OIP trip, they are like our parents to us and to them, we are their kids.
The days goes like this... As tomorrow's the final paper for APPG, everyone was busy mugging really hard for the paper. But during lunch time, I went to the hairdresser to get my hair cut, thinking that it would just take a while, which in turn took much much longer than anticipated.
Not to push the blame around or anything but I had the decision in my hands. I could have when to get a haircut after APPG and not during lunch time instead. Totally terrible terrible mistake I've made which made both the lecturers upset and made everyone's moral drop too. That feeling of knowing what my actions have brought upon also makes me upset and feel lousy.
Therefore, during the roll call in Mr. Tan's room, I shared how I truly felt about the incident. As I'm brought up in a way where leaving things unsettled causes me to be in a very depressed mood, I really shared and told everyone to not follow my footsteps. After sharing, he said this to me which really made me feel better. Mr. Tan looked at me and said "Being accountable is one thing but learning from your mistakes is the biggest thing". What is past is past, the only thing you can do is to learn from the mistakes and not repeat them again.
It almost brought tears to my eyes as I never expected Mr. Tan to even forgive me the slightest bit for doing what I've done today. I guess not every lecturer are willing to give a second chance and this was a real close call to be sent back because of today.
