the best summer ever; because of you.
My first summer with you, was also the best.
For I learnt how to love, and how love feels like.
I had my first kiss, my first touch, my first hugs.
I learnt that to love someone, you learn to let them go.
I learnt that to love someone, you learn to let yourself go too; for them.
whispers of summer
her story
friends
birdsongs
memories
sunrays
sometimes what i want to say isn't apparent through what you just see(:

FAM! [and farewells.]
FAM! [and farewells.]this post shall be dedicated to FAM'08 :D [and it's partly because this is my 100th post and it deserves to go to something important xD] okay i predict i'll end up rambling towards the end, but whatever. well fam was supposed to start at 6, so i was going to shinyi's house to prepare/change/slack/help her with her stuff/whatever at 3 or so. then i got an sms saying that i could get my phone back [cuz i sent it for repair the day before] so i detoured to wisma. ended up reaching shinyi's at 4 >< on top of that i still had to finish attaching the chain to my necklace/make the crystal chain for my hairclip, so i think we actually got started on fam preparations/changing/etc at uh..5? yiting came at around that time, but we ended up taking a horribly long time to change and all she decided to walk over to jingxiao's and hitch a ride with her instead. and after we changed, there were still a gazillion things to do - make-up/hair, for example. and when we finished, we realised it was already 6.25 or so. gasp. after some frenzied rushing about tying shawls and etc, we chionged all the way to marriott; reached there at 6.45, then realised that we were actl quite early. as shinyi's mum said, 'aiya they put 6.00pm on the ticket knowing that you girls will be late and arrive at 7 anyway so since dinner will start at 7, they put 6. smart.' so since we were actl earlier than quite a few people, the phototaking frenzy started! xD it's at this time that i wish my mum had bought a camera earlierrrr zomg my phone camera isn't the best of things to take pictures with in red lighting/when the photographer you hijacked is laden with a few requests to take pictures for other people and shifts the camera before the silly slow phone can save it, which results in very blurred pictures. oh well. not forgetting that my phone cam can't zoom arghh. terrible. but on the other hand, the food was quite good, honestly. and the performances ahaha! rj street dance owns. and the miss FAM pageant! comic entertainment. but the nominees' performances<3! haha.
after the food, it was picture time again! year pic/class pic/pics with friends i found while going through the room trying to get pics with teachers. and mr yeoh's camera didn't take our picture, it died just before the shutter snapped. so i don't have my picture with him and shinyi after all ): oh well. at least we had one with ms koh and ms tan. and i wanted one with mrs hoo, but somehow she wasn't anywhere to be found.
that reminds me - photos on facebook! http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=42145&l=9dce4&id=836133356 :D :D
and people who took pictures with me/of me/those that i hijacked cameras from but haven't sent me their pictures send me please! :D oh haha and i want my picture with xinxuan too xD but i don't know if she'll send it to me. oh well.
then again, who we had pictures of doesn't really matter; what matters is that the memories of being with those that had walked with us through our rgs life remain with us as long as we live. because ultimately, the thing i miss most about rg isn't the building itself [although i do miss it, a little] but rather, it's the people that have, one way or other, made a difference in my life.
four years. from the 'scruffy little girls' to the 'bright and talented young ladies and leaders of tomorrow', we've sure come a long way. we've all grown, some way or other. and everyone around us has seen us mature and [to quote mr yeoh] blossom into who we are today. so many of us with leadership posts, the pillars holding up our respective ccas' excos, classes, houses, leadership boards etc. but who knew, four years ago, that we'd come so far? i'd never have guessed, honestly. i'd never have thought i could be where i am today.
and so, to everyone that has made a difference in my rg life - teachers/friends/seniors/juniors/other people like the non-teaching staff [as mrs hoo likes to say, 'never forget the hardworking green man who keeps your school clean all the time!' and the librarians who suddenly said 'good luck and all the best to you, my dear!' to me on the last day of sch when they realised i was a secfour and i was leaving the school forever] - thankyou. maybe you didn't realise it, but what you did may have changed my life forever. God bless. <3. 6:50 pm
