I miss you guys. All that fun and laughter as well as the disappointments we've shared over the years. Do you guys still remember those times in class we listened to Red Hot Chili Peppers and really rocked it out? Or maybe those outings to the jamming studio trying to record Queen's Friends Will Be Friends, getting mad at Clifford cause he kept saying it was ready when it wasn't! Hahaha. Oh, and remember racing down to recess right after Ms Toh's lesson to be first in queue?! Damn, why couldn't we have been together, longer.
How I wish we could all go back in time and do all that again. I seriously wouldn't mind going through a triple English period everyday(!) just so I can be in the same room as you folks. I'll be the first to admit that this year wasn't as rosy as the last. There were times when it seemed all doom and gloom, especially during the making of the class video. But I guess it made us stronger didn't it? We pulled through that and now we can safely say our friendships have stood the test of time.
Aaron: Hey! Gym buddy! Hahaha. It's been really awesome getting to know you. You're always on hand with your optimism and humour to cheer me up. Remember during the examination period when I started spreading around this dumb rumour about John Mayer being gay? Your expression when you heard it was priceless! Thanks a million bud for everything.
Aloysius: Hello the guy that seats 2 places behind me! I will forever treasure our friendship. Though we've not really seen each other much this holidays, I feel deeply honoured to have you beside me in the jamming studio! Hahaha.
Calvin: Whatsup Wye! I am really glad we got to know each other much better this year with you sitting behind me and all. You're like the most awesomest person to talk to in class especially during mundane lessons. Don't forget to vote for me when I run for office okay! And keep me updated with your concert dates man! Your voice so like mine lor, very nice and sweet.
Clifford: Yo Clifford! 4 years man! I can't believe you tolerated me for 4 years! Though I've always disturbed you, you're always forgiving and you never ever took my remarks personally. I am deeply appreciative of all the "shit" you've done for me. You're the kind of friend who I can always count on no matter the situation. Thanks Clifford, thanks for everything.
Haresh: Waaaaaadup dei! We go back even further in time. Since Primary One!! Awesome man. This is friendship at its pinnacle. You've always got my back and though we've drifted at times, you are always someone I can count on. Remember those chats we had on the eve of our papers? Like the night before History O'level paper! We stayed up till 3am to exchange answers and calm each other! To another decade of friendship.
LJR: Yo J-rong. We've grown so close together I swear if we were to be conjoined at the hips, we would never ever fight. Hahaha. All those times you helped me with my school work and that one particular super long chat on the phone regarding our futures was, wow. It's just, wow. I've come to appreciate the fact that for a friend, you'll do anything. Anything. You know when the wrong version of the class video was played in the hall, my heart was silently crying for you. All the effort we had put in, especially you, yes, especially you, came to nothing. But then I thought again, so what if they played the wrong video? The time spent making the video was the best and most enriching ever. It taught me a whole lot of stuff about you as a person. Thanks for everything man, thanks.
Marcus: Saysaysay YAFOOOO! Lollipop buddy! Hahaha, that was the funnest thing I did for the whole month, that Mika song. Remember that time we went for the gig and we were pushing people into the mosh pit and then started laughing till we couldn't take it? Hahaha. Oh my gosh, every single time I think of Marcus Lye, I think of those super great and funny moments we shared. Oh, and also the singing in class. I'll see you soon then! Jamming after New Year!!
Paolo: Hello hello hello Maldini! Best pal like ever. Ever. We've shared some nervy moments at the start of the year what with us being in different classes. I was quite scared at one point when we virtually didn't contact each other outside of Literature class. I was afraid we would lose the great friendship we had the previous year. All those times we hung out after school playing soccer or even going to R.K together with Terence. Oh man, I'll definitely miss going out with you that often. You've shared with me things from the inner most part of your soul and you've guided me when everything just seems to be closing on me. You showed me the path to God, and you've changed me for the better. How can I not be thankful for that? I am eternally grateful and forever in your debt.
Terence: Hey yo Xhit. What can I say? Known you since our days of being CS-ers in primary school. Another chapter in our lives done. I already miss seeing your smile (wah, sounds damn gay.) You've always shared with me about almost anything. We've also had some nervy moments but our friendship has also stood the test of time. I guess that says more than anything. Thanks Terence!
2007 has been a very very eventful year, I'm pretty happy, as well as sad, to say goodbye to this year. It means the end of certain things. For those whom I have not mentioned above, such as Russell, Joshua Isaac, Giridhar, Patrick, you guys play an equally big role in my life. Thanks so much to everyone who have helped me become who I am today.
Since it's going to be the New Year soon, I've got something I need to do. I need to ask for forgiveness, especially from this someone. Ee Thai.
Hey, I'm sorry I've said all those stuff about you. It's not that I didn't want to apologise earlier, it's just that my ego was too big for me at times. This is the best I could do, posting an apology online. I couldn't go up to you to just say this one word, "Sorry." I know it may not suffice after all the bad blood that has been going on between us for roughly 4 months? I deeply regret not getting to know you better. Through this ordeal, you've indirectly made me a stronger person. You taught me patience above all. I've passed hurtful comments about you yet never have you once replied back in anger or tried to initiate a fight. You're really a gentleman in that sense. I hope you're reading this because I really want to start afresh. It's okay if you can't stomach this because really, I treated you like vermin. I know it myself. I just wanna say it again, I'm sorry.
Goodbye 2007. Goodbye St. Gabriel's.
Hello 2008. Hello Saints.
