Your Dren VP
Well, after reading some of your personal tributes to secondary life, idecided to follow suit and write my own personal homage.to NCHS. (because i'm that original.)
I'll start off with the President herself - Yi Fen. (only because the president takesprecedence.. eh wordplay hehe.)
Yi fen, it's really hard to put to words how much our friendship means to me. Idon't quite know when or how we started getting close, but it's certainly not in askingyou to hold my file!! i mean lol.. that just makes it seem like i was late alot doesn't it? If anything, i think it was the PE sessions. I remember one inparticular where we sat by the canteen looking out at the field and actuallyopened up to each other. And i was shocked that i did that because i'm not inthe habit of discussing my personal feelings or experiences with others.Looking back, i think it's because right off the bat, i knew i could trust you. Iguess i have always had a kind of intuition about people, and for the most partI think it's accurate. (didn't mean to praise myself =X. and speaking of 'tuition', iam gonna be giving primary school students private tuitions until school starts=)~ ) Okay enough digressions. The key things i look for in a friend is honesty and kindness. You have that, and much more =).
I was equally surprised that we have manythings in common, and in some ways we also think alike(?). At times, especially when i confide in you i feel like you're the wiser, more mature person despitemy being older.(Can be Quite disorienting you know haha) I know i goof off sometimes, okay, MANY times, and thatinadvertently lead to people ignoring or dismissing me when i have somethingimportant to say. There were many times that i got cut off when i'm speakingbecause someone would talk over me. But whenever i talk to you, it's different.I feel like what i say actually has weightage. Like i'm being HEARD. So thankyou so much for that, it means a lot when i need someone to just listen. And inmany ways i feel i owe you because you had to put up with my baggage. Thankyou for encouraging me, and allowing me to have faith in myself. Some times ican hear you say "Come on, Sylvia, you can do it." You're great in your studies,and that made me want to push harder as well. My O levelresults are undoubtedly thanks to your influence. And you know for what it'sworth, i think you are a lot smarter than you give yourself credit for. Hard workis key but your brains play a big part too, there's more than one reason forgetting 6 points. I'm only saying this cos you worry too much sometimes. But iunderstand why you do because i feel the same way about my own studies.And one last thing regarding - yes, get ready to puke - Jun Dong. I sincerelyapologise if i ever made you upset for dissing him. I hope you know that when ido that, it's not about him at all. I'm just concerned for you because i don'twish to see you hurt by this. Unrequited love is the most painful kind of loveand I've known its sting. That's why i can be so ... opposed to it. But i also wantyou to know that i support you and you don't have to be apprehensive aboutbringing him up when we talk. (I dont think you are, anyways. Just be preparedfor groans and a substantial amount of barf. =)~ ) You're a really important friend and i feel really lucky for that. Like i struck gold you know? wowowo..*kek*
Okay turns out i've dedicated this entire post to you.. i shall continue my little homage another time.=)
