My first moment of eighteen was spent talking to sihui, serene, Priscilla and joanne in a conference! Well, I had to endure with sihui’s out of tune birthday song and I guess that’s a thing which she’ll never change! Alright, its unique and she can sing it to her grill-bird when time comes! I feel so loved this birthday, thank you all for the sms-es, the well-wishes, the handshakes, the love, the sincerity and the presents! There are a whole of special individuals whom I want to thank God for! But before I begin, I would want to extent my appreciation towards my family, I think the love and warmth I get from my Family is a vital contributor to my happiness index!Alright, here it goes!
Serene: You’re another person whom I want to thank God for. Six years of friendship, six years of joy and tears! Thank you for making my life in PL and Nanyang so fun and memorable! Though we’re in different classes, I’m glad we didn’t drift apart! Thanks for making the effort! And please stop embarrassing me in front of Mr. oh-so-cute, I’ll bash you up! Alright, now that MR-oh so cute has written a birthday note for me, I shall let the matter rest. BUT hmm, it’s still really embarrassing! You guys add spices into my mundane and boring JC life! You haven’t change much, I mean height and appearance and of course, character, I like the way you are, so please don’t change! OH- and your handwriting, 真是十年如一日！你还记得吴老师是怎么在班上夸讲你的字体的吗？真是不可思议！Alright, let us continue with our hobbies of “PC-ing” and spying after “A”level! And let’s go to our favourite places like marche and the fried hokkien prawn mee stall soon! You know what my dearest friend, I’m STILL waiting for you to watch Harry potter! It has been ages and more interesting and exciting shows are on their way! YOU BETTER HURRY UP or I’ll box you! Last but not least, I wanna thank you for coming up with the video! I know it’s a lot of hard work done and my mum praised you for your creativity! Your speech lighted up my day =)) and you look so “cool” with your new bag! Get well soon. I think it must be the apple struddle yesterday, I’ll bash sihui up! take loads of care!
Sihui: I cannot say much but I really thank God for you! I thank him for allowing me to meet you and for me to have you as my very good friend! Thank you for always being there for me, especially during those days when I was down with depression. Your prayers, your faith and your stupid smiles can really do wonders! I wish you all the “Gilbert Tay” in the world! I must admit that your present is indeed extremely extraordinary and my mama says that she is going to scold you when you call! (Alright, kidding) I’m glad God gave me someone to fall back on, be assured that I’ll always be there if you need a pair of listening ears! FINE, I admit defeat; my ears are not as big as yours! Thanks for the surprising and terrorizing call at 12 midnight sharp, the conference with ser, pris and joanne was GREAT! Please do learn to sing the correct version of HAPPY BIRTHDAY soon! You know what, I was thinking of you when tong spoke about the train just now, thanks for hopping down and taking the time off to walk along the railway track with me. I think it is time we hop onto the train! JIA YOU! Your apple strudel is so yummy! YUM YUMM! We shall have more singspiration too, bring your guitar along and we’ll sing!thanks ape!
Yunqian: Maths girl. I think we got closer this year despite the distance! Thank you for making the effort to ring me up and flooding me with all the juicy gossips! Thank you also for organizing those PL clique gatherings which turned out to be extremely successful=)) I like bonding with you! I personally feel that you’ve become more fashionable and that’s a compliment alright? We shall meet up real soon and hopefully I’ll see you with botak walking along the streets one day. I always thank God for placing you guys into my life, I love PL because I met you guys, I cherish YOU GUYS because you guys gave me the most wonderful memories! Take loads of care alright, and do ring me up when you’re free!
Seying: I think many of my good friends name start with “S”, I don’t mean that you’re an ass, you’re a sweetie pie! Oops, I feel so disgusted as I’m typing this out! Stop condemning my fashion sense, I know I’m not that good at it but that’s not the point! I really love being with you because I admire your confidence and your frankness! REALLY, I feel comfortable squabbling and being together with you! It is quite a pity that we’re in different colleges or we would have a lot of fun together! Thank you for being my good buddy! Please stop praising yourself in front of my parents! They think you’re humorous and your new hair-style is putting me into a grave danger! You know what happened, Don’t you?
Seowling: I know you seldom read my blog, but here it goes! I don’t know why you came to such a conclusion that PL-lites love to cling and hug the wall. But I’ve got to admit that its rather true because I do, my friend does and one of my juniors does that too! Thank you for listening to me, though I didn’t get to express all that I had wanted to say during that one-hour slot on Friday morning. Nonetheless, I still want to thank you for making that effort to listen to me. I think law really suits you because you have the ability to convince and persuade, just like yanyin! Perhaps I should hire yanyin as my 辩护律师 to meet you on court! Well, I admit that I’m quite an idealist, 什么都要求尽善尽美, for that I apologise! OH YES, I really love your accompaniment because you never fail to make me laugh, but I would certainly hope that you’ll smile more often cos you look terribly scary when you don’t! Perhaps you didn’t know, you’re the only friend whom I love sms-ing using the Chinese language!and that i’ve learnt quite some things from you, those which i’ve never thought od during my secondary school days! It seems that you’re always punctual and that’s a virtue that I should learn from you too! I hope I didn’t scare you with my recent balck face like what you told me, and that’s definitely not my intention =)) Please continue to be my loyal royal slave cum good friend, maybe I’ll reward you with ONE SMALL TINY chocolate with my signature on it when time comes! I see that you’re improving and remember to JIA YOU! Get into the faculty of law and pay me $4000 per month when you hire me as your bimbo-secretary!
Priscilla: I sometimes wonder how and why all four of us can clique together so well although we’re from different classes and streams! And yup, there you go! We’ve got a common passion! Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Thanks for sharing your thoughts honestly with me during the ORION trip, I miss Lubae. (that’s out of point) Thank you for “night-studying” with me and I just want to tell you that I love your accompaniment. The “爱心面包” and the way you express your love for Mr. lowcheewai will always be etched in my memories! Oops, is it Low or Ang now? Pris, you must learn to be faithful. Thanks for celebrating my birthday with me too! Though the milo tasted weird and the service wasn’t exactly excellent, your accompaniment made up for it! I thank God for L.T.C and let’s welcome Joanne and her beau into the family! I think we must pay a visit to the zoo more often!
Joanne: 谢谢你很感人的生日祝词，especially the video! You know I almost cried while watching it! Thank you for your very touching and affirmative words! It’s really encouraging! Well, I guess you can be the next 琼瑶！The 12-midnight mass conference was extremely entertaining, thank you for making the effort! 你的苦、你心中的悲伤我能明白。但我要让你知道，在你最彷徨无助的时候，我，诗琳还有思慧一定会陪伴在你身边的！ 很开心你愿意和我分享，也感谢我们这段友谊！“青山横北郭，白水绕东城”哈哈！觉得你很有创意！ 不要忘了你的诺言，每年一小段话，友谊万岁！祝你和你的俊明和阿强弟白头偕老，相亲相爱！
Leanmay: My one and only lab partner, ok fine, my sec two lab partner was “potato cool” alright! I’m so happy that you passed your 2.4km with sprinting colours! I miss running together with you, there was no one there to cheer me on and motivate me this year, so I had to sing the song “DARE TO RUN” when running! I really miss the PL spirit a lot! Oh, do frequent the chemistry lab more often alright, you may wish to steal some ammonia(aq) so that we can smell it when we meet up the next time! I still do not understand why you chose njc over nyjc when Nanyang is just opposite your house and the difference between the 2 schools only lies in the alphabet “Y”. WHY lean?
Yanyin: I think I would be in a total lost if not for you. Thanks for accompanying me during those breaks! I wonder where I will be and what I’ll be doing without you! Alright, I’ll give you an “A” for your essay, aren’t you happy? I shall give you three more claps too! And grant you 0.5cm worth of height this coming birthday! I’m glad you understood my feelings, which proves that your initial thought of “I didn’t think I’ll feel your pain” was awfully wrong. However, I’m still a little puzzled at your “never mind la, just let it be” mindset. On the whole, I’m glad we got closer this year and thanks for being my wonderful and faithful toilet partner =)) friends forever!
Phyllis: Hey dear, alright I shall call you Mrs. Chio from now on! I was wonderfully surprised when you came back to school to celebrate my birthday the other day! I miss you, I miss the fun we had together last year and I miss the way you smirk and shy away whenever you see jack-ass and Mr. squatter! Alright, I made up the Mr. Squatter part! You know what, there was no one there to run 2.4km with me this year and that was an awful disaster! I’m glad you escaped this horrible fate though! I think you look prettier this year, seems like an extreme make-over =)) good fashion sense I have to say! Oh- and you’re one of the few tall friends I have! I realised that most of my good friends are shorter than me, so please be honoured! All the best and JIA YOU alright! Stop pinching and hitting me so often, I’ll master kung-fu after As and beat you up. NO, I’m not violent in nature!
Diana: My first impression of you was “oh no, rather unfriendly and Nanyang girls high, oh no”But you turned out to be the total opposite. A kind and understanding girl I have to add on, but a little fierce occasionally! I am actually quite afraid of you at times! Thank you for talking to me, taking the effort to understand my plight and giving me sound advices too. You think like Yanyin. But sometimes, I don’t really understand your rationale of “heck-care” because I believe that things can be solved if we take the extra effort and the extra mile! Thank you for the tremendous amount of effort which you’ve put into the clique present =)) I can feel the sincerity and I’m glad I met you and the clique at Nanyang!
Jas, shar and xinyi: Triplets of the same height! Thank you for turning up for each and every clique gathering, its actually very heart warming that you guys still bother to turn up when some of you have trainings and competitions going on! JAS AND SHAR: I’ll always remember how the both of you got reprimanded by the man at the cinema for bringing the two bottles of orange juice in! and our holocaust project with atha and the both of you who were so super ultra extremely willing to guide me in maths! And shar, thanks for the mail =)) your handwriting is still as neat as ever! Remember our Osama family? With atha being the mistress and all? I miss those days! XINYI: although we live within the same neighborhood, I seldom get to see you. Have you gone on to hiding in a cave or something?
Celene: I’m so glad that your obsession with Mr. bae young jun is over! Seems like its may day’s turn now! I’m actually quite shocked that you took up fencing! I remember we used to hate A-maths and chemistry and Physics rather violently during our secondary school days! And you who were always up to some mischief during our lower secondary school days! Thank you for allowing and welcoming us to have our gatherings at your house! I love the basement!
Zhi Xin: I cant stop saying pereria whenever I look into your eyes. (did I spell it correctly this time?) WHY my dear, why of all, PIO? But whatever your decision is, I still want to take this opportunity to tell you that you’ve been a great friend all along. Maths tutorial would be painfully boring without you! I think you’ve got loads of creativity! Your “mok-lester”joke and the “cheng ho tee tong” jokes are really classic! 你真是个开心果！
Wenna: Banana nana! I MISS GOING TO SCHOOL WITH YOU! Whenever I walk through the lonely park in the morning, I would think of the two of us, running and sprinting towards the bus stop just to board the bus 53! Do you remember that man who always raises his arms, putting us into a position which is so disgustingly awkward? No explicit description for the sake of imaginative purposes! I see that you’ve been going NORTH rather frequently, so what’s so nice about the NORTH? Thank you for being my helpful neighbour, yes free labour as you’d claim, my good buddy and my 24/7 technician! All the best to you and MR YIK!
Adeline Lim: Mrs Kong! I still love to “kong here Kong there”, this is quoted from you! AH, why are you not in Nanyang, If you were, then I wouldn’t have to try so hard for my 2.4km cos Adeline would be there to drag me along! I’ll always remember you for that, as well as you being the ultimate fan cum wife of mr Daniel kong! See you during the PL funfair! I cant wait, and stop calling me 霉女, although that’s a witty pun! I want to be lucky girl!
Eileen: MY best buddy ever since primary one! I think it’s really heart warming that we still take the time and effort to meet up with one another at least once a year! Stop stalking mr chongBR home, though I think its kind of funny! I miss those days when we had swimming lesson together, the shaoerzu camps! And us who were always given the task of being 众in 广播剧. All the best in all that you do and please stop growing taller!
Min wei: Minnie weiwei! Thank you for remembering my birthday even though you’re extremely busy with your art work =)) WOW! It has been 8 years and I’ll always remember the times when you shared your biscuits with me and the times when we hid in the cubicles just to eat our favourite papadam! I’m still safe keeping your art work, those which you gave me during our primary school days, I’ll scan them and put it online for sale of you become a famous artist one day. OOPS, kidding, why would I give away something so special and memorable? Good day and may God bless you!
Liangyu: MY dearest junior! It’s really great seeing you around in school. Do take loads of care and all the best for your promos! Thank you for your assurance, I feel so loved! JIA YOU for guzheng and don’t you just miss those guzheng days? Always look ont eh birght side of life, you seem rather pessimistic in your blog entreis! Remember that theres always me to love you! (though you refuse to tell me who is THAT mysterious guy)
Shangyi: Thank you for treating me with love, care and sincerity during the ORION trip. I feel really blessed to have a buddy like you who was always selfless and enthusiastic! I see that you’re really consistent with your work and that’s a really splendid habit that I should pick up from you! All the best for art and thank you for your friendship! =))你在泰国那段时期对我的关怀与无微不至的照顾我铭记在心，谢谢你！ 真的很庆幸当时有你在我身边！
Huay Han: Going crazy over male teachers seems perfectly fine in the world of L.T.C! Thanks for bringing in so much fun and laughter into my life and I certainly enjoy the time spent together with you! For MARK you will! I feel that you think and analyse a lot about love and marriage! Is that the result of excessive consumption of “Pride and Prejudice”? all the best for ART alright!
RJ: I pray that you’re doing well in Aussie land! Remember to take good care of yourself and have fun too! Drink drank drunk, I just can’t believe that you can actually drink! Do keep in contact and inform us when you’re coming back!
Serena: HEY my automatic tuner! Thank you for remembering my birthday! Haven’t seen you for a year or so already! Let’s meet up real soon, then you play the ruan for me! All the best for everything, white crow! Or is it grey crow? I can’t exactly remember but I feel that its an interesting nickname they gave you! I miss those times when we messed around during sectionals, and thanks for always being so patient with me, yup, I’m a slow learner! And now, where is my cheese cake?!
CINDY: thank you for gving me a wonderful nanyang experience! I love started to love nanyang because of you and our fellow oeisterz! do participate in more superstar competitions the next time round, be sure that we’ll be tehre to give you our fullest support!
