a moment to remember

~songs in my head~

没有地球太阳还是会绕.

But I don’t care what they say. I’m in love with you.

I just wanna fall and lose myself Laughing so hard it hurts like hell Forget about everything and run away, yeah

:: if you have tried your best, there's no need for regrets. ::

~ THOUGHTS ~
By ourselves we are too weak to hold our own even for a moment.

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God" (Romans 8:28)

For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.

"God has given, God has taken, blessed be the name of God" (Job 1:21)

"I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out – plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Memories galore

Just ended convocation.
My convocation.
Till that very moment when I stepped into the audi..
I didn't feel much
Then hearing the song Graduation by vitamin c
And then walking up the stage for my own few seconds of glory, it dawned upon me that it was my graduation
After 16 years of education..
Hearing the valendictorian's speech, I felt tears misting my eyes
Not because I will miss my classmates cos I do not acty knw many of them well
But because I came to realise how glad I was to have come to ntu cos of hall 12
The 4 seemingly long years now feel no more than just mere months
From a unfamiliar place in ulu jurong, it has grown on me

I miss taking 199 back to hall at night every sunday
And then doing my laundry late at night
Sometimes being hindered by the fact tht there are no available washing machines
I miss awaiting to hear wenxin putting in her key in the doorlock
And then tiptoeing to behind the door to give her a fright or a welcome hug
I miss turnin ard and seeing wenxin slp earlier than I do
And then seeing her wake up in the wee hours to finish her work
I miss how I started from acp to vice chair to financial sec in FOC
I miss how we did non stop canvassing - garung guni, v day, singpost..
I rmb how I first saw my seniors demo cheerleading and thought it was so cool and scary at the same time
I rmb feeling the tremble in my legs when I first stood on my partner's shoulders
And we thought we would hit the ceiling fan
I rmb how we said ruifang looked like bob dog
And how we tot lionel was cute.
I rmb feeling on top of the world when I realised I could acty perform some of those stunts
1, 2, down, up.. i , 2, sweep
Those chants all too familiar
And even till now I still have not watched the video of our actual day performance
I might cringe at the very front part where the opening stunt failed
Or I might feel happy tt I managed to stay on top for the act that usually flopped

I miss how I would always disturb roland abt his strawberry fear
And I rmb how shocked he was to see tht watermelon hanging outside his room
I will also rmb the time mingkeat changed roland's msn pic to the obscene girl
With watermelon btwn her legs, how we laughed like crazy when roland saw it
I rmb those times of benches bday celebration
I rmb how we got ruifang to drink an egg downed in some alcohol
How we drew tortoises and other nonsense on his body
I rmb slping over at caddie's old clock tower room
Hearing the fan creak as if it was spinning lizards inside
I rmb bathing at 2, 3am after we come back from foc meetings/supper hops
And I rmb watching gossip girl and eating hor fun at the same time
I rmb taking photos for ogd at the staircase
I rmb the times we had watermelon juice every night for dinner
I rmb the story of shuwan being dunk inside my red pail
I rmb the times we ganged tickled roland and mk
I rmb our breakfast times, teh o bing for shujing
I rmb going to jb for seafood, tt we went to buy vcds in a shady shop
I rmb sending mk to sweden
And I rmb welcoming him back when we went dbl o
And I rmb me sayin I wanted to go ktv cuz I was high
I rmb the subsequent happenings
I miss the times we would go to ktv
Sing lian ai iNG and di yi tian
And superwoman and nan de yi jian..
I rmb how toot we all looked
I rmb the times we address one another as csbs, animal farm, bachelors club
Horse, duck, frog, cow, monkey, chicken...
I took away more than 4 yrs of education in ntu
Out of so many memories, I don't know which I wld like to frame up

I am..
Forever not a student anymore
Officially out of school shelters
No more undergrad, no longer going to school
And classmates are replaced by colleagues

But today, I'm very happy when I saw all of us gathered tog on our very last day in ntu, maybe fated to have our csbs convo on the same day
And we took a photo I know will always be etched on my mind
I love that photo esp the one we took using my fuji instantx.. we are all united..
we came to ntu as strangers, but we leave as csbs:)
Damn emo I am..
But I wish this friendship will always stay....

Just one thing I felt, was missing on this impt day...
Someone I can call mine..
Someone whom might have got me flowers or tht ntu teddy bear.
Someone significant with his arms around me.
But nonetheless I know that I am happy enough inside at this point:)
Better than to look back at photos of significant dates and see that I'm no longer with whoever
Sometimes photos are like tattoos. etched on and difficult to erase

goodbye or see you,
I'll be your best kept secret or your biggest mistake.
