HAPPY SEVENTEENTH, MY DEAREST KAHO :D
Sec 1, KL Voyage of Songs.
Title: First impressions don't count:
She frowned as a pretty girl pushed her way past the crowd, walking neatly up to her group of friends to volunteer to sell flowers for choir's fund raising valentines. She had wanted to do so too, only that she was slower. So in the end she ended up selling balloons with Christopher. Bad experience.
Title: Teamwork.
She remembered singing behind a piano, as their group shyly stepped out to perform Mirror Mirror (M2M), with the lead vocalist singing her heart out. They had spent a long time practising that song, and it had bore fruits. It was the best group that performed, the teacher said, and his compliment made them very, very happy.
Sec2(?) Flag-day
Title: Learn from history and its lessons.
She remember vividly the fun. laughter and tears that came along when she was with her group of friends. She remembered that time when they splashed water her friend, soaking her entirely to reveal her black bra. She also rememebered those hateful letters that they sent to her friend, which made her break down in tears. Even now, her friend will never fail to remind her now and then about the treatment she endured in those days. She, on looking back, was filled with regret on not treasuring her friendship even more. Even so, she learnt from history and its lessons. She treasured her friend even more, now.
Title: Results.
She and her friend squeezed through the cluster of people at the results board, and noted that they were in the same class. Both of them hugged each other, knowing that at least there would be a familiar face in this new class of strangers.
Sec3, tea appreciation
Title: Groups.
She, her friend, angela and huiyi formed a clique, VACH. They had lots of fun, her being the lovesick one, her friend being the beautiful one, angela being the crazy one, and huiyi the serious yet funny one. They stuck closely with each other, and endured the onslaught of gossips from the group of girls in their class. They studied together, ate together, cried together, shared together. Even when angela was the target of gossip in class, they supported her together, and through it all they made through the 3rd year of school.
Sec4, prom night
Title: O's
It was the last 100m to the end of their 4 year long race in Anglican High School, and they all studied hard together. She remembered the last time her friend studied at house, which consisted of eating cranberries and using sticky fingers to solve math problems. But most part of it was talking and laughing, and sleeping(for her friend, not her). Even as they walked into the examination hall(how long ago was that?), her extended group of study-friends hugged and prayed before they entered headfirst into a horrible 2week long exam period. It was time.
Title: Graduation Day.
All of the students gathered in the hall to collect their slip of paper which determined half of their future. Most of them were in punkish hairdos, and garishly dyed hair colours. Her group huddled together, and opened their result slips together. Some were satisfied, some were not, but eventually they liked where they were headed to, to carve out a future for themselves. Angela: SP. Huiyi: TP. Vanessa: TP. Cheryl: MJC.
The years to come are going to be long, and I really cherish this friendship that we've built since secondary 1. Kaho, you've always been a loyal, caring, generous friend to me, one who's always stuck by my side through thick and thin. One who is still missing me during my chinese class even when we're in different schools now. One who's always there to wipe my tears and provide for me a shoulder to wail on when some lousy guy comes along to break my heart. One who's always so protective of me, and always so loving.
Stay with me, in my heart
Till then we meet,
In joyous greet and laughter.
I LOVE YOU KAHO, and happy birthday :)
