I've found a friend who died for me

abt 3 more weeks to my enlistment date and im still not doing much of training.. gonna suffer ns.. always wanted to exercise, yet stood at home and played game instead.. it really going to be my undoing

have been going out alot recently with my churchmates.. dunno is it becoz everyone else ar busy.. but no matter what, i hav gave alot of thoughts into this.. i muz set my piorities right.. indeed, these are the only ppl i truly enjoyed with.. no worries, no stress, no voice raised, nothing.. juz fun, with everyone sharing everything purely from the heart.. conversations tat bond us together, like we used to when we were young.. guess we ar changing too fast.. so fast tat we even couldt remember we once attended lessons together, attended camps, fought with one another, ate together.. we grew up in such an environment.. now, all of us walked a different path, forgotten how we endured those times..

and we still hold on firmly to that special friendship that follows us in both times of good n bad.. tat's why we ar working to re-establish those ties we lost in the process when we walked alone.. im sry for walking out on u ppl when i began a whole new life in jc.. im sry for forgetting the moments we enjoyed in the past.. n becoz of all these "sorries", we distanced one another for a period of time, a time long enough to forget tat friendship we held.. im so grateful that we ar coming together again to relive those times.. give thankz..

hav a dance performance on christmas night.. yet wasnt practising enough.. hav to buck up wif the rest of the dance crews too.. mr ling's wedding is on 27th.. im not sure if the class has prepared anything for him.. not cheap to invite the whole class for his wedding.. he has been a great form teacher.. was our math tcher last yr, n both math n form tcher tis yr.. i guess the whole class sees tat he changes over the yr, from being a veri inflexible person to a open and expressive tcher.. got a wonderful pick, his wife is veri pretty.. ha, do wish the best for both of them..

hmmm, nootka outing on 26th of dec.. a veri meaningful day coz it will be exactly one yr from where nootka gathered n formed.. time truly flies n we hav graduated.. hopefully everyone made gd use of this final gathering we are having coz we ar unlikely to gather again for a common purpose.. we all... walked a different path..

leeches leech on to ppl very tightly, bring problem to others for their own needs.. uninvited, yet still persisting.. likewise for ppl, nothing but irritating.. stop acting pitful n try to gain sympathy.. u ppl out there know who im refering to so no use acting dumb.. pray that i dun take any action to bring u down.. its not im taking action, juZ that because u ar lucky coz u haven seen my true colour.. dun act as if u noe me so well when even my parents n sister dun..better watch ur back..

...a world to escape from...

Theme : One Last
Venue : Swissotel, The Stamford
Date : 30th of Nov
Post-Prom Party : Club MoMo

guess i should devote abit of my time to talk abt gradnite, an event tat i hav always been looking forward to.. hmmm.. slept early the nite before so tat wun miss out the fun on the day itself..

woke up abt 8 plus to play game again.. cant do wifout my game.. think of it, im actually letting gaming controlling my social life.. for me, i either go out wif hi-5 or stay at home to play game the whole day.. not saying tat i regret doing the both activities mentioned previously, but i cant continue the latter lifestyle daily.. its like wasting my life aways..

start packing only abt 12pm den bathed.. took a bus down to city hall to meet hi-5 so tat we can check into a hotel room we booked earlier.. well, as expected, i was late again.. abt 20mins i think.. suppose to reach by 1.30.. gonna change tis bad habbit.. fell veri sleepy on the journey to swissotel.. guess due to the intensive gaming sessions i had for nites.. got a room on floor 28.. the balcony view covers the esplanade, suntec, marina bay etc.. quite spectacular..

3.00pm : we had settled down n the girls were leaving the hotel to do their make up with their respective stylists.. on the way down, we went to the swimming pool for a walk.. once the gals left, i n cj were strolling around aimlessly at raffles city.. got our lunch at subway, decided to go back our room to eat though.. in the room, cj was dropping his food all over.. end up in a disaster.. oh well

5pm: i n cj were slacking at the hotel room balcony n had a great time chatting.. never had we realli sat down to enjoy such time after A's.. the girls ar still not back, so we decided to start preparing ourselves for the nite.. started styling our hair 1st, den melvin join in.. coz we ar worried tat we will dirty our clothes, we were "naked", bare-chested.. its like the girls will come back any time..

6pm: the girls took much more longer than we expected.. everything was ready n we were dressed in our attire, except our jackets..

finally the girls arrived at abt 6.15pm, n start preparing.. believe me, its a scene u wouldnt wan to see.. the girls had their make-up done n they look great, something i will never expect to look like.. esp ying, super pretty (: put on the heels/shoes, jackets, perfume wateva, den hi-5 stepped out of the room n make our way for granite.. reached out for my camera, inserted the batteries, pressed the power button.. den the screen showed "insert memory card" ... was like WTH!! wanted to take gd picz for the nite, n i screwed up.. sianz

juz before the lift to the reception area open, ying said " ok, ok, confident hi-5.. " den we did the "woosh" thing again.. haha.. the door opened n i can hear music blasting.. not becoz of gradnite, but the barbie's live performance below (the reception area is above raffles city shooping mall) oh well, kinda lighten up the mood though.. took numerous photos.. can remb the veri 1st person i took wif is amanda.. eunice looked great! wore contacts n heels ya..

reached the reception area, everyone was well dressed.. was supposed to enter the ballroom, but the area was still packed.. probably everyone was still taking photos.. met up wif my table ppl (J4, ying peng, hi-5 ) took a few photos too.. den sign in at the reception table n enter the ballroom..

the ballroom atmosphere was wad i expected, classy n grand.. found our table.. it was nine.. yet was empty, coz everyone was all around taking photos.. the prom dinner started at abt 7.30pm.. emcee was flying dutchman.. he was a damn gd emcee.. his jokes were funny n intelligent.. the atmosphere was wonderful too..

dinner started n food served.. prom king n queen session too.. not to forget, more photo taking session.. took with nootka, pylos members, council members, classmates, various collegemates.. quite a memorable nite i will say.. sadly, no one from our table win anything for lucky draw tat nite.. doorgift was pretty similar as last yr though..

went back to hotel room to take a break before making our way to momo.. thx to melvin, we were able to reached momo quickly without much hassel.. well, clubbing wasnt as gd as i expected.. kinda boring to me.. the damce floor was cramped with everyone doing the same moves.. had some drinks, absolute volkan some other drink tat needs banging (dun noe wad is it called) saw numerous pj ppl, though impression of them changed after tat.. danced to abt 3.30am.. left caused my ears cant take the music blast any more.. ( btw, i think im abit partial deaf) took cab back to hotel..

5am: was exhuasted.. took a shower.. lied on the crouch, but couldnt sleep..

9am: alarm clock rang.. was supposed to hav mac but everyone too tired, went back to sleep..

10.50am: everyone woke up, start rushing to down to get a meal.. coz the menu for fast food changes to lunch.. weird..

12.30pm: went back to hotel room, made final preparation n check out by one.. made our way home

3pm: reached home, n gaming again.....

oh.. tat a "rough" summary for gradnite.. guess it was alright n cool.. below ar some of the picz tat i took tat nite.. (mind tat i hav to collect the photos from over 20 ppl juz to get them, all thx to the missing memory card in my cam)

enjoyed the companionship i had with u ppl,thx alot..

this post is for those who had made my life meaningful in pj for the 2 yrs, especially to hi-5.. never forget the times we spent together..

A song for u all :

Graduation ( Friends Forvever )

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real cool
Stay at home talking on the telephone with me
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
1 - As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can we ever find a job that won't interfere with a tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels
Repeat 1
La, la, la, la…
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la…
We will still be friends forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
Repeat 1 (3x)
