The One with the Flashback

Have you ever wondered when that single spark of connection can span a friendship which has lasts for 5 years and counting?

I think this quote is very appropriate for what forms the cornerstone of this blog and what we've been through so far.

"We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over."
-- Samuel Johnson

I think the times spent in SMSS has been one of the greatest and most precious time which all of us would remember. If I do ever have kids, I probably want them to enrol in St. Margaret's Primary and Secondary. But then again, it's ultimately up to them and the situation in the future.

I've known you girls for a long time, some longer than others. But no matter what, it is the present that matters.

Esther Loke Bao-En! I used to mis-spell your name, writing "Ester" instead of your proper name. Mushroom hair and round glasses. We thought it was mighty cool then! When we were getting promoted to P5, I cried my eyes out because we got posted to different classes. It was like "I lost a part of me" ( I think that's what I wrote in my little journal ). Despite going to different classes and flying off to another continent, I'm glad that we come a long way and still are awesome friends. Brownie, Marble, Caramel, Chubby, Lady :) Summer! Oh I do miss her even though it's a love-hate relationship with Summer.

Remember that time when you told the class that there wasn't Peer Tutoring? Every one was so happy before you said "Oh, that's next week."

Our goal for 2009 : to take decent photos together and make Summer not dislike me.




Sharon Chan Shan-En! You and your crazy antics. You were the new kid in school during Sec 2 and never in my wildest dreams would both of us be friends. Mr Lee and you would always be bickering about something. The tension in the air is so thick, I wonder when it would end. Pro-verbs! Our ever charamstic lead in our dynamic team. All the jamming sessions and laughter, it is something which is so precious that I don't stop thinking of it.

Our goal for 2009 : take decent pictures together. The photos always bring a smile no matter how I'm feeling.



Samantha Khoo Pheng Yan! Who knew that we'll come this far? The small choir girl, smarty pants. The bus 48 rides home. It was such a normal question, like "Who's taking 48!" The wait for the bus was super long, but it didn't seem long because we were having so much fun talking! Until today, we still take buses home! I enjoy all our conversations because it's just the feeling of being so relaxed and exploring of ideas. Funny because even though we're in the same school for 10 years, I'm glad that we found each other after all. America's Next Top Model in the mornings!

Our goal for 2009 : make Dorc more decent so that she can take decent photos with you!



Elena Fung Yuting! Stop being so MIA. Your exams are over already! Hmpf. Who knew that we would be such best friends? I can't stop saying this, but I was like "Who's this girl?" when we were in Sec 2. Haven't seen you BEFORE. It like took me 1 year to realise that you exist in our school. The demure one who has been on this journey of normal student to being "uptight" prefects. You always looking out for girls in coloured bra and then confiscate them! Pervy you who likes to unhook people's bras. I seriously wonder how you and I are such friends because we are completely opposite from each other!

Our goal for 2009 : to take an unglam photo with me!




Louisa Natalie Eng Siew Lyn(n) ! It's amazing because we first met in a foreign land! Our groups were squealing over the guys and it's just so fun and innocent times. Imagine my amazement when we ended up in the same school, let alone in the same class for 2 years! Oh boy, I must have irritated you quite a bit while we were sitting almost next to each other in Sec 4. And Mrs. Raj always asking us to keep quiet. You're always the tennis girl with that extra bounce in her step.

Our goal for 2009 : teach me the Miley Cyrus pout.


Michelle Tan Liting! Fellow Tan and Pro-verbs mate. You were the quiet one. And then you blew me away with your piano skills. I enjoyed doing the musical production in Sec 2. What was your stage name again? I was "Rebecca" and you were ? Please enlighten me on this when you remember. You were always singing in class. I remember that I was once anti Avril Lavigne. You and Jia Hui kept singing "I'm With You" while I tried my best to avoid hearing the song. But guess what. You caught me real good and I fell in love with the song. Talk about first impressions. HAHA! You and the 1/5 gang. And it's so cool because we have brothers of the same age! HAHA! Gosh... there are just too many funny things. You and your NERD club. Oh boy...

Our goal for 2009 : to master GHWT and make Pepper dislike me less.

Here's to more great times ahead! I would like to end off with this quote.


"Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends."
