7. thank you cao! hmm, josh cao, trying to persuade me to be un-emoed, and then at one point to join drama, although i didnt at the end. i still rmb the times where you tried to un-emo me. haha. sometimes, i am just really emotional, and then i cant help it. it is just really difficult. i guess its okay to like to feel angry, or sad, but then you must know to control your anger. sometimes its really difficult to like control it. but sometimes you just have to try your best.
8. thank you prob3div2 haha. you really taught me alot. i still rmb the times i broke down. i felt really bad, really sad. then now, being rejected, not in your team, it will be fine with me i guess. but then i still dont really like it when
you call me like bad at this and bad at that, it just makes you really arrogant, i dont like that, i just cant stand it. its just really irritating. joeltang...speechless. haha. nicklaus? hmm you are quite a good friend lah. you are really nice and generous. really helpful. really nice. square. (: thanks for being a friend. waking me up at times when i er...haha. not really awake. just saying something that will wake me up! haha. lol. hmm then there was ryan? haha. im really thankful for you! you have been such a helpful and caring gentlemen. when nishad did.....you ran along with me, you are really someone that i cannot dispose off. someone that you would like as a good friend. some friend that you wouldnt want to lose. thanks for also cheeringme up. esp in worlds, when i got damn pissed with tanger. i still rmb that so clearly. haha. you came along, looked for me, and cheered me up. you told me to forgive him i think. you are really a nice guy! thanks a lot. douglas. haha. you are really one funny guy. i am sorry (i dont think you heard this before:) anyway, i kinda thought that it was you that didnt want me in your om team the last time, i thought you were the mastermind and all that lah. but you were just trying to get the best team, and i clearly understand that. i am really sorry. i didnt mean it. but since now im out of your team, and you probably just heard the news, all the best to your team! and kegan, not forgetting you, one really big and tall guy, some really smart person who is really good at rhymes and lit. haha. thanks for being such a great room mate, being willing to accept me in your room when i was made to sleep with tanger...haha. i still rmb that so well. the memories etched in my mind-i will never forget. anyway, the last person of the team, jeremy! haha, thanks for being sucha great student coach. being so nice, one person i cant forget. although you may be like sadistic at times, you probably have your reasons behind it. i guess you are some guy that we will never forget. haha. speaking of the devil, haha, you just wished me a blessed christmas, not birthday, hehe. haha, but nvm. if i could have a birthday wish, it would be to be less sadistic, please? haha. be a nice person, although you are already quite nice, be nicer! :D okay, thats it for the om side. haha.
9. thanks to alto section `06 and `07! i love you all! :D go alto! thanks for being there for me. being so caring and helpful. as the events of the year passed like haven, the (its twelve oclock im 14!) founders day-sanctus, and then the many other events, like dinner comm too! all the planning, everybody all together. as one comm, as one section, as one choir-oh so united. we worked together so well, we had fun together, we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly, and most importantly, it was a success! a really huge one. haha. i still recall the first day i walked into choir, we got pumped. haha. emil was still our sectional leader, haha. i rmb how un-productive it was lah. everybody was like very disoriented, disorganised. haha. i think it somehow gave me a bad impression of choir. i still rmb john see being there. so small haha. and then he was like disturbing emil a lot, haha, i think he was like throwing tables around lah. haha. but over time, you see how ppl mature, and like how they become a different person over just a year. they are more well mannered, like less ill disciplined. and then you make friends with ppl. its just so nice. getting to know ppl better. haha. the girls were also a fun bunch. they were also really nice. mainly sze, xuan, ethel, theo. haha. i still rmb theo as the tomato, when john see said things that would make theo blush. but last year i also found out that i was a blusher too! haha. rmb all the good times. and then xuanqi, our new sectional leader. haha. then theo, our sectional leader. haha, she was like really good. cause i actually knew my notes well. haha. i still rmb john see, rodney and i standing at the back of the kbl, learning our notes of imagine, haha. was like really fun and interesting. all the good memories flow back into your mind. you want to hold on tight onto what you have, and then you wish you couldnt let it go. but there will be a time when you will have to let go, slowly. i wish things could just remain as it was.
10. thanks to anyone else who was really helpful and nice to me, i wish i had all the time in the world to name all of you out but, sorry, if i didnt record your name down. it doesnt need to be here to prove that you are really my friend. (:
hmm, reflecting could be so long. haha.
keep smiling(:
