Dear Diary,
It seems like a fairytale come true. I'm finally in the Dean's List in the last semester of my time in NUS. After fighting for so long, I have come full circle and graduated NUS with 2 A+ and a Dean's List to add to the list.
Given what a hell semester this has been, I am all the more convinced that the hard work which I have put in for this semester has been worth it. Neglecting friends and outings, fighting to stay awake in the middle of the night, the numerous McDonald's which totally destroyed my diet and exercise regime.
Which brings me back to thanking all the people who ensured my survival in this past year.
First, my 3 bestest besties in the world, Charlotte, Isabel and Michelle, who have been the silent un-moving rocks in my life and who have kept me sane wherever and whichever point in life I have been. Through all my doctors' appointments, depressions, ups and downs - they have been there for me.
Second, my 2 other groups of rocks - Little DDs and PRSSVX, who occupy the other big void in my heart and who I can count on to entertain me.
Third, to CSC friends, especially to E9 and my C.A.N. Loggies who have kept me aligned in NUS with the altruistic aim and who have taught me everything that there is to know about family. Ohana means family and CSC is one big ohana, where everyone has the gotong royong spirit :) I'll remember this spirit for life!
Fourth, to ChBE buddies
1) Cliques: Jia Xiang, Gummy, Wee Meng, Cher Yang, Khai Hoe, Wan Ying, Ryan
2) FYPs: Andrel, Xu Li, Titus, Fang Chao
3) Oulu: Zemin, Rachel, Chun Kiat, Guang Yuan, Yangyi, Ivan, Yonghui
4) Chevron: Zemin, Xue Zhe, Tingfeng, Zhi Hao
who have definitely spiced up my life (on this note, I wonder who is our valedictorian). Thank you to you people who have made life better in NUS :)
Fifth, to family, who have been there to support me from the very start. Whenever I'm just feeling lousy, there's always you guys to keep me going and focused at the target. Because of you guys, I feel loved and am always going for the next opportunity.
Signing off with a song by Wiz Khalifa ft Charlie Puth entitled..."See You Again"
[Charlie Puth:]
It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
(Hey)
[Wiz Khalifa:]
Damn, who knew?
All the planes we flew
Good things we've been through
That I'll be standing right here talking to you
'Bout another path
I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up
Look at things different, see the bigger picture
Those were the days
Hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place (see you in a better place)
Uh
How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride
[Charlie Puth:]
It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again (I see you again)
We've come a long way (yeah, we came a long way) from where we began (you know we started)
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I'll see you again (let me tell you)
When I'll see you again
(Aah oh, aah oh
Wooooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah
[Wiz Khalifa:]
First you both go out your way
And the vibe is feeling strong
And what's small turn to a friendship
A friendship turn to a bond
And that bond will never be broken
The love will never get lost (and the love will never get lost)
And when brotherhood come first
Then the line will never be crossed
Established it on our own
When that line had to be drawn
And that line is what we reach
So remember me when I'm gone (remember me when I'm gone)
How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride
[Charlie Puth:]
So let the light guide your way, yeah
Hold every memory as you go
And every road you take, will always lead you home, home
It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
(Aah oh)
(Uh)
(Aah oh)
(Yeah)
(Wooooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Ya, ya)
When I see you again
(Uh)
See you again
(Wooooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh)
When I see you again
