Song :Graduation Song
Artist :Vitamin C

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 the night in June
I Didn't know much of love, but it came too soon
And There was me and you, and then it got real blue
Stay at home talkin' on the telephone and
We would get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

Chorus:
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from 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 that joke 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 Heather find a job that won't interfere with her 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 chorus*

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 chorus 3x*

I was listening to this song ,
then i suddenly realised how time flew these 4 yrs .

Went into HS for the first lesson in sec 1 ,
long skirt ,shirt tuck in in in ,socks long long ,
hair tie until nice nice (totally ni fringe) .
the first fren i made was Cai Ying .
Then Amy Saito ,Nicole ,Jia Ann ,Wen Jie ,Cheryl .
then mi ,cheryl ,wenjie n nicole became BFFs .
go everywhr tgt .then my fringe became short ,
skirt became short ,shirt suddenly too short ,cnt tuck in xP .
form teacher ,mdm lim pei ying .
always kena bullied by us ,
i rmb she teachers' day nv recieve anything ,
she complain to us .
Maths cher ,Mdm Ng Ai Kim .
the onli teacher we're afraid of (i tink) .
mid yr tt time ,i suddenly failed my maths (yes ,i was lazy) .
her qn somehw woke mi up 'Joanne ,What happened to you uh ?'

Then our clique had conflict ,Wan Ting & Qiuyi came in ,Nicole went out .
FS clique was formed (bt nt officially) .
Girl guides ,mi n qiuyi was in it at first ,
den we dragged wan ting in (i tink she regretted) .
first few trainings was fun ,with all the games etc ,
after tt ,seniors strted to dislik mi .
haha xD .gt close with Rachael around yr end .
many said we looked alike .haha xD .
Mama tan often call our names wrongly -.- .

Guitar ,i forgot who was the first fren i made in thr ,
i onli rmb draggin wenjie into guitar (& she quit choir x.x ) ,
dun tink she regretted tt xD .
met Huisi ,Joel ,Jong Chi ,Karen MAW ,Wan Er ,
Derrick ,Deanne (tt time she haven change name ) ,Wang Da ,
Kok Wee ,Zi Yang ,Brandin ,Karen Liew ,Janer ,Jolene ,
Edna CHAN ,Andrina ,Jeslyn .Mr Ong was very nice xD ...
we always enjoyed havin fun in guitar lessons ,
bt nt the times when wang da gav us talks (tt lasts for 1/2 hrs x.x)
come to tink of it ,those talks were the talks tt drags tt yr's SYF grp close .
miss those times .

Sec 2 ,went into 2e3 .
Yu xuan ,Tjia Ying ,Andrina & Hui Si were my closer frens .
Mdm Chua was our 'fav' teacher .
everytime before chi lesson ,the class will b in a mess .
then when someone shouts 'CAI LAO SHI LAI LIAOO ~!'
u'll see the class havin a 180 degree difference within 5-10 secs .
SERIOUS ~!!!!
everyday sleep in class ,other den chi n maths lessons .
im always the one in charge of charging ppl's phone .
why ?cause the socket is jus behind mi xD .
LOL ~!

then everytime run to 2e4 play stress with Rachael ,
then i became their class's VIP .
haha xD .
around yr end tt time ,
i knew Andy (he wins mi in stress most of the time -.- .)
Guan Liang (everytime flick my ear -.- )
Don (loser in stress xD )

Guides wasnt much fun tt time ,
i still rmb i wrote posts on guides .
LOL ~!super childish ,then mi n rach skip guides tgt .
Rachael ,rmb tt time when both our phones
rang when we're both in my hse ?xDDDD
HAHA .

Guitar was fun ,cause i knew many many frens .
seniors & my batch ones ,the SYF tt yr was disappointing for us .
but we walked it through tgt .
i rmb tt time ,i sent a msg to Mr Ong ,
then wd he replied made mi n huisi cried in class .
that was classic 0.0 .
That yr's SYF batch was the best ,i guess everyone will agree .
missed those times when we chiong strummin songs ,
kok wee's lame jokes ,Wang Da callin mi guai lan gia xP ,
Guitar camps & outings ,walking home with Karen MAW ...
STEAMBOAT ~!!!!!!!

Year end ,almost cldnt make it to sec3 ,
i oso heck care .
anyhw choose subj combi .
LOL ~!
Landed into 3e4 .

sec3 ,fun & crazy yr .
totally lik nv study at all .
cause it's a yr when in guides ,my batch gt close ,
really really close ,cause of one common topic xDDDDDDDD .
haha .
then all of us suddenly became in charge of things .
then tt yr gt campfire ,
so was busy doing proposals ,preparing for things .
OBS was the highlight of tt yr ,
the camp tt im willing to go again n again .
then had SSC too with Rachael ,
3 days of camp with NCC .
makes mi feel tt im very lucky to join guides xD .
cause thr ,they dun reali treat girls lik girls -.- .

3e4 ,i rmb i dun reali lik the class .
cause it has onli a pathetic num of 27 ppl ,
so very empty .
& my onli fren thr was wan ting .
form teacher was Mdm Ng (holly heavens) .
at first i was sitting behind the class ,
then moved a bit ,went infront .
sitiing beside was Alvin & Guan Liang .
behind was Jasper ,then Zora .
Wan ting was around tt area ,
just behind GL .
as usual ,sleep in class during POA ,Chi & Geog lessons .
the rest cnt sleep ,cause will kena by chers .
then all of a sudden ,i became sisters with Ghim Choon .
LOL ~!then siblings .
Yu xuan & Alvin became my kids -.- .
Then Zora .
LOL ~!
then 200508 ,
Ghim & Qiuyi had 240508 ,im sure they cherished the memories xD .
Gambling Den was then our fav recreation ,
esp during recesses ,u can see 3-5 tables of dai dee .
then slowly ,everyone chiong DS Mario Kart .
i rmb sitting at the back of the class during Chi lessons playin tt .
if nt jiu shi borrow PSP frm Daniel play DJ Max .
happy memories xD .
Then wheneva we try to skip chi lessons ,
kang jian wld shout our names .
that was super funny xDDDDDD .

busy & playful yr ,so studies went dwn .
almost cldnt make it up to sec4 ,
Ms Lin pushed my eng up for mi .
so i made it .
sadly ,Alvin ,Daniel & GL cldnt make it .
many of us were upset .

sec 4 ,stressful yr .
Os ....
My dad totally objected mi to cont gng for CCA .
bt still ,he allowed until SYF was over .
on one condition ,i nid go tuition -.- .
so ya ,tuition whole yr .
every monday ,wed n fri .travel frm hougang to AMK/TPY .
tiring -.- .
SYF result ,well ,i'll tak it as a memory =] .
its great to knw so many guitar lovers xD .
hopefully ,the nxt SYF wont b so disappointing .
4E4 ,hated it at first ,many many reasons .
then slowly gt used to the silence during lessons .
Mdm Tan & Mdm Ng left us .
bt luckily ,i gt Mdm Ching for maths .
she's very cute xD .

many said tt she's very fierce ,bt i beg a diff .
i feel tt she's abit lik mama tan ,
blur blur de ,then we can even hav maths class conv with her .
LOL ~!
she can forget to tel us the ans for a qn after another
student ask her another one .
Mi & felly sat tgt during maths class ,
many many fun times xD .
Maths partners YO ~!
i tink the onli lesson i enjoyed most duringsec 4 was maths .
haha xD .

then the stress came around june ,
strted to realise hw little time i hav left .
so i strted to chiong abit on studies .

July 13th morning ,before i went for F&N lesson .
my phone rang ,a call frm my mum .
tt time the first thing tt flashed through my mind
when i saw 'mummy' on my phone was 'Oh no .'
i picked up the call ,heard my mum crying .
she told mi my grandma passed away le ,ask mi go home nw .
my first qn to her was ,'why ?why so fast ?'
then i kept crying ,i cldnt stand ,i didnt hav the energy to .
Zora held on to mi & let mi cried in her hug
(thanks darling xD) .
i rmb crying for a very long time ,
then i told myself i must get home ,asap .
so i went back ah ma hse ,& didnt go back skul for 7 days .
nt many ppl knew about this ,cause i didnt tel .

Hey ,u dont expect mi to send to everyone i knw ,
telling them tt right ?

Last day of the wake ,the day when my grandma was turned to ashes ,
i cried the whole day .yup ,really is whole day .
cause i cnt see my ah ma anymore .
i cnt tel her hw much i love her ,
no matter hw much i disliked her bullying my sister .
i cnt tel her hw grateful i am to her bringing mi up since i was born ,
no matter hw unreasonable she is .
nope ,i cnt tel her ,anymore ='[[[[ ...

so people ,cherish ur loved ones tt r still around you .
tel them hw much u love them ,
before u don't get the chance to .

the mths after the funeral was unbearable ,
i cried everynite for 2 wks straight .
cause whateva i do ,whreva i go ,i'll tink of her .
jus nice ,tt period was prelims period .
Dreadful .

then Os strted .
And Os ended ,time flew very fast during tt period .
200508 also ended around tt period ....

yup ,4 yrs of skul ,many many many things happened .
many many memories ,many many regrets ...
lik the song said ,

'
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' ...

i missed gng to skul ,cause tt was the
onli times whr mi n my frens cld get tgt .
now ,everyone's working ,everyone's busy .
we seldom even msg ,let alone gng out .
frenship is strting to fade ,
bt still ,the memories r thr =] .

Byes ~! .

I guess you didn't read it properly ,
so i'm gona repeat this the LAST TIME .

For now ,i can't give you any promises .
Really ,because i don't know what will
happen to us between this time .
i don't know if i'll fall for other guys ,
i don't know if u'll fall for other girls ,
don't tell me you won't ,nobody can tell the future .
promise is a strong word that i've learnt
not to use it unless i'm 110% sure that i can do it .
so ,i won't use it on this thing now .
i can only be sure that we can be friends ,
that's all .
so don't ask me to promise you anything ,
cause i'm not even 50% sure that we both can do it .
like i said ,if you don't want to wait ,
you can pretend that i never existed .
if not ,then we're only friends .
That's all .

Don't repeat the questions ,or make me repeat again .
You know i HATE repetition .

But when you sent me those ,don't you feel guilty ?
for the other person that you're together with ALREADY ???
