Memories are nostalgic black and white videos in our hearts which we can play on repeat mode over and over again, Life is what goes on and never looks back...


Time, it really does fly...
i noe this is one of the most cliche phrases ever used...
but it's very true...
juz look at how 2004 has literally gone by without u even realising it...
and i guess 2004 is most probably the most controversial year for many ppl...
the transition from sec sch life to jc life, meeting new frens, facing new challenges and on the whole adjusting to a different kinda lifestyle...
but to me, 2004 seems to be my major turning point in life...

not being able to clear my promos, i'll be moving on to poly next year...
i suppose this is my biggest decision in life so far...
i had decided not to retain then cos even if i do, i'll still have difficulties with my maths and maybe physics as well...
the thing is, maths is juz not my forte...
but does dat make me a lousier person? a less intelligent person? a failure in life?
i beg to differ...
though dat's the way society is...
i juz can't understand, is it a crime not to be good in a particular subject?
some may argue dat i didnt work hard enuff...
but how do u noe? how can u prove dat?
sometimes a person is downright not mathematically-inclined and u've to accept it as it is...
i'm not coming up with some lame excuses for myself but dat's really how i feel...
this education system simply doesnt give second chances for ppl who are willing to try...
but well, i'm over dat long ago already...
will be anticipating a newer challenge in poly life...
and readapting all over again...

i guess i've learnt alot in 2004 as well...
lessons in life dat had never crossed my mind before...
friendship? i've come to realise dat it's to be maintained and not assumed to be maintained...
wadever happened to 'Friends Forever'?
we often move on in life while at the same time leaving our beloved frens behind...
though not intentionally, but it's still kinda saddening...
do some soul-searching here, and how many can truly and safely say dat they have kept in contact with every single one of their frens?
sometimes it's really not our fault...
moving on to a new environment and meeting new faces, it's inevitable to lose contact with ur older frens...
yet ironically they're those frens who u once used to keep so close to heart to...
but as time passes by...
*Poof* all gone...
i personally had this very close fren of mine...
she was all dat a fren could be...
but hey, from close frens we became strangers even before u could bat an eyelid...
i was saddened, depressed by it...
can't deny dat wad i felt for her was more than juz friendship...
but dat's not the point here...
i've learnt dat friendship is all abt maintaining it...
so as far as possible i wld wanna keep in contact with all my frens...
and for all those who noes me, feel free to approach me...
be it juz for a friendly chat or sth...
i may be more of an introvert, but deep down inside i do cherish our friendship =)

speaking abt frens...
well, my frens do make up a big part of me...
without them, i'm not me at all...
wanna thank everybody who has made an impact on my life in one way or another...
especially zixuan,junwei and marcus...
i've said this many times before but i'm still gonna say it...
i think i'm truly blessed to have known u all...
u guys are the bestest bestest frens one can ever have...
although i'm not a christian, i wanna thank god for letting me noe my 3 bros...
and seriously, i do anticipate a day in the very distant future when we're all lao ah peks and juz sitting down playing mahjong together, enjoying life and toking abt the good old days or sth...haha...
next up would be my 4i frens...
yes, everyone of u...(well, almost aniwae)
in 4i i found class spirit...
in 4i i found fun and laughter...
and in 4i i found really great and wonderful frens...
nvr thot dat we cld still be so close but the chalet proved me wrong...
on a sidenote, i'll alwaes look bac on how 4i had the best soccer players in the whole cohort and how we stormed the fields together...
being soccer champions and all dat was juz wonderful...
in addition, i'll nvr forget all the ups and downs we've been thru together as a class...
all our memories have been kept close to my heart...
and will alwaes be...
how i wish i could relive those days again...
wanna thank waikeung and guanzuo especially for keeping in contact alwaes and hanging out every now and then...
not forgetting eugene and jonathan as well...
and for everybody else, thanks for juz being the most amazing class ever!
den my mj frens...
though it's only a short year...
but i'll always remember u all...
ok who else...my other non-4i dhs frens as well...
and to those whom i have left out...
oops sorry i didnt mean it...
but u guys are in my heart nonetheless...

last but not least...
to dat very special someone out there...
i dunno who u r too...i guess...haha...
do hope to find my one true love in my life someday...
aint rushing here but i believe dat true love will come naturally...
who noes she may be someone whom i knew long ago rather than someone whom i wld come to meet...
juz like my parents...
pri sch classmates...aww~
but heck, my pri sch is an all-boys sch -_-"
haha so ya la...
i oso think too far le...
shun qi zi ran ba...

2004 is now a new video of memories...
hope dat 2005 will be a much betta year for me...
and for everybody else as well...

juz a simple one will do...
and dat is for me to be happy alwaes and my loved ones as well...
which means my family and all my frens ba...
