Christmas - New Year

Hey people!

I'll be home for Christmas / New Year. Let's meet up!

<3

Hi guys, wow how long has it been ? Anyone still visits here ?

The year 2010 and it is almost 5 years since we were last in 5S1. Everyone has grown up, everyone has the lives ahead of them.

But one beautiful thing remains, and that is the memory of us being friends and that no matter how far apart we are, how long we've not seen each other, how weird it would be to talk to one another, or just how vague our memories of each other may be, we still shared the memories.

I saw a quote on one of those fridge magnets at my cousin's place. It said,

"We do not remember the days. We remember the memories."

I thought it was just so appropriate.

Anyway, just wana do some catching up, who's in Malaysia right now ? I know many of us are graduating this year.

Hope to catch up soon ppl !

Loves.

graduation

This is, shamelessly, another post from me. :P

I just attended my church friend's graduation (from the Christian International School of Prague, a high school here). It was a really sweet informal ceremony to celebrate the lives of seven loved kids. We got to see baby photos! And each of them gave a little speech to thank their parents, God, teachers and friends.

It kinda reminded me of our graduation. I remember how Rachel K started tearing beside me in the hall. I remember how Xing Ji cried non-stop, even after we got back to class. :D I remember Tim holding back tears, too! And I remember all the hugs, all the laughter and all the good times. And I remember how I wished school never had to end.

Well, we all need to grow up someday - if not by choice, by the forces of nature. But I'll always be glad to have been able to be a part of 5S1. Thank God for all of you.

revisiting the past

Sometimes the past is never forgotten, merely hidden. And all it takes is a dream or two, or a nostalgic moment, or the familiar din of silence to bring back in remembrance all that has been thought to be forgotten.

If there's one thing I miss about CHS, it's knowing that every day I belong. CHS and 5S1 was like family to me. Every time after a holiday, as I trudged down the 'lorong' into the canteen, greeted by sleepy-looking students, to get into the Ed-Board room, I feel a grin spreading from ear to ear on my face, knowing that I belong, that I'm part of this whole establishment, and knowing that I'm not alone.

Knowing that we all have one goal, to get through high school, and that we were going to get through high school together. Knowing that if we were sad, there would be friends reading our expressions, prepared to lend a listening ear, to let us know that we are not alone in this phase of life.

Knowing that at every corner, there would be laughter, be it laughing off a nickname, a tease, an embarrassing moment. Knowing that at the end of the day, no hard feelings will remain, knowing that we are truly friends, and our basis is innocence. We may not know everyone personally, but everyone knows us and we were accepted the way we are.

We grew up together, from beginning to end, we faced the praises and storms of teachers together, we backed each other up.

I still remember how from 3A1, Yin Shean backed even our notorious friends who tied up poor Zhen Yuan and left him on the corridor of 3A2 face-to-face with our teacher, who stormed into our class and demanded to see the culprits who dared to defy discipline.

I still remember how difficult it was to get the class to do things, and yet at the end, we pulled every drama, every presentation, every exam off so well. :)

I still remember many stories from the days of good ol' CHS. Invisible in my grown-up everyday, but still so real in my heart.

Where are we at now?

Does it matter?

All of you always will, to me. :)

With love, Flo.
