it only struck me that we were this close to parting when i read geri's sad sad entry.. can we not ever leave each other.. why must we part only when we were starting to get close? when we realised how much we mean to each other? the first few months of our journey together were rocky, because we thought that we had nothing in common but after a while, we settled down, we found that we had more in common than we thought we did, and then we became an inseparable class.

school's going to end in just 7 days and the most dreaded sec4farewell is drawing nearer. funny how all of us were hoping for this time of the year to come asap at the beginning of the year, and now all of us don't want it to end. and no matter how much how i keep telling all of you that i can't wait for school to end so that we can finally go to jc.. truth is that RGS has become so much like a home away for home for me and possibly all of us.. and my class has become more than people who i see everyday, my class has become part of me, we've become one big closeknitted family.. the people who i knw i can turn to no matter what the circumstances are. i'll reallly miss having the bestest friends any girl could ask for, friends that i made in the course of the last two years, people like, aileen, krystal, angel, addy, margie, geri, jt, bel, sharm and siti our dear classchairperson.. you all made my uppersec years the bestest, the funniest, the craziest, the most memorable years of my life... i will never ever ever forget all the times that we shared, and you all better not also ok! when we go to jc, keep in touch.. and cannot abandon us for your new boyfriends ok! that'll be a crime... all those crazy things that we do, like hearing geri, jt and amanda jinx each other, all of us trying to converse in our very bad korean, annyeong-ing each other every morning, illegally watching dbsk and superjunior videos in class, screaming that "I HATE SOCCER!' and looking foward to play floorball.. so fournine is going to start a trend, to start writing "i will miss" lists..

at the end of the day. it's not the results. but the memories that we created together. these two years together have been the most memorable ever. if you gave me a million dollars for me to trade in these memories of joy, sadness, hurt, tears, smiles, laughter, irritation, and going crazy, as tempting as it is. it's a definite no. because all that i have experienced in the last two years have made me into the person i am now, and they all make up the life that i have led in the last two years, the memories i have of 409. I'll treasure the times that we shared in the two long but short years, and although i'm closer to some of you girls more than others, and i let loose a little more with some of you girls, and i confide more in some of you than others, but in the end it'll be the bond that we shared as being part of 409 that matters, going through the tough times that will be remembered. when no one seemed to think that we'll succeed, we almost managed to pull it together and sometimes come up on top.

then it just hit me, that, this is it. this is the end of my life in RGS. sure, we'll be seeing each other again next year in RJ, but it won't be the same. the environment will be different, there will be a new species called guys (lol...) and i get the feeling that things will become even more superficial in RJ. RGS has become a second home for me, where we created countless memories, memories that won't be forgotten. it's in 409 where you are allowed to be yourself, and sometimes to be a kid again and not be afraid at getting laughed at. but where will all that go when we get to RJ. will all of us change for the better or for the worse, will all of us still remember that we once had that kid in us that we weren't afraid to show when we were in RGS. it's now that i understand what my mum meant when she said that your uppersec years will be the one that you'll miss and enjoy the most.

all i wanna say is, thank you 409, for making my last two years in RGS the most memorable years so far, thanks for making it special for me. it wouldn't have been complete without each one of you being part of it. i can't imagine 409 missing any one of you because then it would just be a puzzle missing one piece and it'll never look complete. even as we walk the hallways of RJC, we may one day forget the memories, but the feeling and the sense of knowing that they happened will always be there.

hope that all of you won't forget me, even if you remember me as that irritating pe rep who chases you for ur activity cards and cca records, it doesn't matter, promise you all won't dao in jc k! cause i won't, so keep in touch EVEN IF you do hook up, don't forget the crazy times we had. and maybe we can go crazy again when we get to RJ but in the privacy of someone's house. so last but not least, the last thing i want to say is, I LOVE YOU GUYS!<3333

thanks for everything that you all have done! it's been a great year!

p.s. for more "i'll miss" lists go to, geri and aileen.
