for 5 months of osip,
gave up the chance for APEC's interview....
 

and seeing how my friends are enjoying themselves.....
in their impeccably tailored formal attire....
some saw Hilary Clinton today & Obama in a couple of days' time...
i'm super envious!!

APEC :(
 

no, i'm not being an emo freak here.. i'm just, reflecting.

"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
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track"

between the closest, we've been yakking non-stop about the future ; post-poly educations, career paths, etc..
and never once was there an end to such discussions..
trying to prove jon wrong after graduation from secondary school failed terribly..
and i'm pretty damn sure, the friendships i've forged thus far ain't gonna produce tangible results as well.

"Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule?"

will i even remember how i splurge on MC(s) to escape from tests and quizes?
will i remember how i make full use of warning letters?
remember a year full of club memories? will i?

"I keep thinking that it's not goodbye"

isn't it weird? - the juxtapose of many goodbye(s) and orientation(s).
the idiosyncrasies of many many individuals which i refuse to name.. 
now that i'm thinking back, i regret being friendly, being sociable..
reason being, no amount acquaintances i've made over the past 3 years can surmount to a good friend who truly cares.

as graduation draws nearer, inferiority complex starts to surface..
 peers who pursued post -Os overseas have landed themselves in law school / medicine school..
and here i am, questioning all the choices i've made over the past 3 years..

finally back from smyc camp!
which ended off with a lot of cards exchange, hugs exchange & tears.
2 months of hardcore preparation.. 9 days of fun & laughter
CLOSING CEREMONY!!
smyc - if we hold on together
smyc - home
smyc - nobody
smyc - livin' la vida loca

canon in d for cello quartet performance is over as well.
1 full month of hardcore practising with youtube worked..

collaged the photos into a brief one..
the remaining hundreds of them are all up on facebook!
14th smyc (part I)
14th smyc (part II)
14th smyc (part III)
enjoy!
 
 
 

gonna be gone for 9 days.
will back with photo entries on smyc and cello performance.
grace misses you big time
period.

things are finally finalised ; likewise for my thoughts.

sorry to disappoint some, but i don't wanna add anymore burden on my shoulder.
i lack the courage at the 11th hour and chickened out.
just wanna continue bucking up for A, concentrate on nyc & my upcoming performance.

the only regret i'll carry through this ay,
would be how easy i gave up on club as soon as orientation ended.
if i didn't felt that way, i'd have came up with a better decision & the current wouldn't have happened.

but..
i trust that all things happen for a reason & that these newbies will strive for an awesome ay  :)
and i wanna leave this phrase to the newly nominated main comms...

"Be civil to all ; sociable to many ; familiar to few ; friend to one ; enemy to none."
- Benjamin Franklin

finally, 6 months of hard work have paid off. 
knowing that my freshies have enjoyed the entire orientation
feels even better than retaining the cheering championship trophy.

-

extremely proud of my sub comms, seeing how much they've matured and grown.
used to complain so much about the sub comms this AY,
but i guess they've unleashed their fullest during this orientation we call our own.

to my LOGGERS&OLs&LT heads!
without you all, week 0 would never have been a success.
you guys were the ones who've gotten the most screaming, yelling & nonsense from me.
but believe it, i did all this for a better orientation.
and i want to say this, that, on the 1st day of orientation,
i've seen the biggest change in my officials and i was really proud of that.

to my week 0 sub committee members,
6 whole months and you guys slogged it out with me.
to see my nonsense deadline ever so regularly must have suck, but you guys conquered it.
week 0 cannot just make do with a few of us,
without you guys, i could have never made it this far.

to my clan, kiragi,
i've still got the letter in my wallet!
and of cos! you guys did me proud! 
always told you guys, of all people i would want to scold, last to be on my list would be the clan.
you guys did me proud, performed your best and of cos, fulfilled that promise you guys made to me.
thank you!

to the cheering team,
for the 3rd year running, AS managed to retain the cheering champion title yet again.
started off orientation with no hunger for trophies and glory,
all i wanted was my freshmen to enjoy themselves big time.
but of cos, to win the cheering trophy again made this year's orientation especially memorable to me.

to lao jiao(s)&advisors,
for never forsaking me during the period when i thought all was gone, all i thought was hopeless.
to accompany me through this crazy 6 months of planning,
to walk me through and harvesting the fruits of my labour with me..
to constantly spotting my flaws and ensuring that i rectify them before the biggest day itself.

to eugene&nadiah,
for always being there for me when i needed help.
there was never once whereby you guys chose to turn me down when i needed help badly.
not only for week 0, but for comm service and the other 4 welfare projects i've had.

to my backstage people in orientation,
without you guys, the videos wouldn't be possible,
the logistics wouldn't have been done on time,
the shirts wouldn't have been awesome.

to my bunch of die hard friends,
you guys know who you are.
although you guys are never invovled in asc matters from day 1..
but from day 1, ever since i've had my agm..
you guys were always there for me,
there for me to rant, for me to whine, for me to cry on.
really, thank you! :)

and to all who smsed,
thanks for the congrats msges, the greetings..
especially when it came from my offificials,
i'm especially glad and touched.
