Happy Birthday To You...

I'm really glad...

...that you replied my message...

When I read your reply, I was really happy. I could literally picture how you said it. Although in the message you asked, "You are?"...but no matter, it's good enough.

Probably the reason you replied to the message was because you didn't know it's me...

What if you knew that it was me? Would you still give me a reply?

Now that I think of it, it was almost a year ago I sent you the first message between us...it was an apologetic sms...

You never replied...

The next time I sent you a message was when my brother had 2 tickets to Jacky Wu's performance in Singapore. I thought that I could use the chance to close the rift between us, thus I decided to ask you first.

You never replied to that either...

Perhaps...you've never forgiven me, that's why my contact number was never recorded in your phone. Thus not knowing that it was me who greeted you via sms.

Nonetheless, I'm elated and grateful that you replied to my sms this time, with or without your knowledge that it was me on the other end. It brought comfort to my heart. Thank you...and this is possibly the first time I'm saying this to you on the day itself...

Happy Birthday...

2 Decades...

March 16 is coming to an end...

Thank you to everybody who sent forth your greetings, as usual, they are greatly appreciated. Also, thank you to the birthday song from the night cycling clique...it's been quite a while since I've heard that song with my name in it. It felt like I still have a small place in most my peers' hearts, despite taking loads of shit from me...other than being thankful, I have no idea how else can I express myself.

Thank y'all...

Of course, there's still one person whom I wish to receive the message from. The odds are rather low, but I'm still hoping...

New Phase

FUSION has come and gone, which means I'm finally out of NYP. Thank you to all who came visiting. Despite not receiving many guests at my booth, I guess I'm still happy.

...

Looking back, I can't help but feel a little sentimental. It's not exactly something that one will expect coming out from my mouth, but that word pretty much sums up stuff.

About 3 years ago, I'm just a freshie stepping into the gates of NYP, having minor doubts about the future, and deciding not to make too many friends for fear of some sort of deja vu dating all the way back to the younger days.

Well, I succeeded...that was until when orientation took place, and I started talking to people.

Guess it's not easy being alone eh...

Now that I think about it, I'm glad I spoke to them then, otherwise, I'm not sure how am I gonna make it through these 3 years. Thank you, my friends...I'm really, really glad to have met all y'all.

Of course, the lecturers played a big part in my poly life as well. Especially Ms Gail, who had enlightened most if not all of the '08 batch. An amazing woman who will never run you down not matter how rotten you are. Her encouragements are priceless, and regardless of who you are, she will gladly give you advice on many matters.

She said that she's proud of us, and I'm grateful to have a mentor like her. Thank you so much, Ms Gail.

A little too much dosage of nostalgia perhaps...

Feeling a little lonely all of the sudden, especially when it comes to friends going their own ways. It's not a farewell for good, but meeting up will not be easy.

Another contributing factor is no secret. I have lain down my last card, with my thoughts and wishes penned down on it, in hopes that she will read them and grant me my last request. If she does, I would have found the much needed closure which I have been seeking for over a year...

Nonetheless, congratulations to all my friends graduated and those soon graduating, I'll be looking forward to our next meetings. Good luck and take care...
