Yours truly once made a famous quote...haha. "You can never thank a person enough for what he has done for you, only reciprocate." As such, in true spirit of reciprocation, i hereby offer my 'plagiarized' blog entry, courtesy of charlie patrick adrian goh junyi.
of course, having been tutored by the head of information science herself once, i have learnt to respect copyright laws. thus, the quotation marks : )
p.s. junyi's original content has been respected with the tinge of blue. my own thoughts are scripted in red.
"Went to Moor appreciation ceremony yesterday and today, went for rj opening ceremony.
Moor dinner was ... how would i put it ... rather memorable. We did the batch gift and from ilman , jon & i, really tks to samjo, ccc and alan for all ur efforts... Personally, the doing of all the individual collages was really fun. The making of collages brought back fond memories of everyone ... are you kidding it was more than fun! i guess it was just the working together again that made it so worthwhile. and as usual it was really rewarding... but i guess it would be easy for u to figure out for those with nothing at all ... u (a) hv nothing to b remembered about or (b) have done nothing worthwhile for the house or (c) when u did something worthwhile, i din bring a camera. Of course, there shud b special mention to both nash and samjo for their constant taking of photos (a rather good job i muz say ... though sam jo ... besides camera ... please get away from vcrs ... tvs etc ... haha ... jk jk) and basically tt explains y i haf a lack of fotos for the both of them (at least until samjo sent me some) ... but all in all, it has been fun doing those collages. If u want ur individual collages drop me a mail, msg, tag, wtv ... i send them to u lor ... haha yes i should stay away from such stuff. for the record i have crashed alan's com with some virus, and launched operation destruction on junyi's VCR. now let's pray his father doesnt find out it was me : ) haha sorryy...
Dinner was great. We all tried to make it as light-hearted as possible but at any point of time, if i hv made any insensitive comments ... i m really sorry ... (actually... it doesnt matter at all i think ... they all not around ... haha). But after yesterday, i decided to stop poking my nose into all these organizing events etc. i will support them, i will give them help when they ask for it. But for everything, when it is time to let go, maybe u really hv to. I was really thankful when my seniors never pestered me to get things going, they never questioned on anything we do ... and i guess this is the space that every leader needs to be able to develop to his fullest. It is time to move on. To move on to bigger things. The bigger things that the JC can offer you. So i guess the collage will be the very last thing. letting go has never been easy. nobody said it was easy...so why should it be now? and as we move on, the more we resist the force of change, the harder and harder it becomes. sigh...never thought it would be so difficult. during grad ceremony i didnt even feel a pinch. cuz the o levels wasnt even over yet and i knew i wld still be seeing my friends arnd. but now, as the holidays slowly wither away, it has hit home hard. like im ready to cry or smthing. but then, nothing comes out. im caught in the middle. not that i dont feel strongly abt it...tt's why i hate myself for tt. for not being able to show how i feel as i might want to but then, its so hard. it doesnt prove anything. i just know in there, and i figure we all know how sucky it is to have to leave. but u know what, i cldnt be more thankful for the blessing in disguise that rj moved. at least we wont feel so distant...i guess. its just a walk away. today as we went into the new campus and saw ri frm a diff perspective, it seemed surreal. who wld've thought four years ago that we wld be standing there so soon, so near yet so far. it pains. i know it will pass. but oh heck let me wallow in this pathetic state for awhile more....(i mock myself) let go! yes! i must. soon, i will move on, and no doubt i will look back, but only to reminisce those sweet memories. those memories that will grow older and older, as we create new memories with each normal day, passing by like they did in the past four years. time flies! and its true! but let go....
Talking about JC, yep, went to rj opening ceremony today. The sound system was really terrible so we never really did hear wat the people up there were telling us. But I tell u, rj is lyke so humongous. I m really looking forward to school there. I hope i can continue to do so after first 3 months ... i really do hope so. But somehow, i feel that rj doesnt give one the kind of homely and cozy feeling that ri gave us in our 4 yrs there. But maybe it is just the time spent. Like mrs koh says, give it more time. Yep, it is all up to us isnt it? It is all in the mind i guess. Well spending 3 months (and hopefully, 2 years) there ... i m sure i will enjoy myself there :) "
And so the day ends. and the road ahead looks as exciting as ever. all i pray for is the chance to walk in peace, to be able to cherish each worthy moment, and most of all, have no regrets. : )
ok is it me or did i sound a tad too emotional there? whatever the case, the year is ending, and despite it happening too fast, i guess i have some resolutions to make. to better myself. i have learnt it isnt a shame to look at our faults and change them. and so i will. try. and try. and try. i will not cry.

"think of me, think of me fondly, when we've said goodbye
remember me, once in a while please promise me you'll try
when u find that once again u long to take your heart back and be free
if u ever find a moment, spare a thought for me
or as unchanging as the sea
but if you can still remember,
stop and think of me"
remember me, once in a while please promise me you'll try

but if you can still remember,
stop and think of me"
