fond memories.

phuket beach;
a photo i took on my short getaway a few weeks ago

hello, it's me again.

it's a little earlier than usual, but i'm already in bed with the usual routine of good music, comfort and writing away. currently watching Adele @ the Royal Albert Concert Hall for the 5th or 6th time already (courtesy of my dear dad who decided to buy me her DVD when he was out) i find myself missing my parents tonight, which isn't normal of me, but we all have days like that. once again they aren't in sg which means that i'm alone again.

yesterday was spent with the 11s class at the chalet, and it was a crazy one indeed. i had my first sleepover :) because my parents didn't want me home even though they weren't around and so began a series of laughter, madness and outrageous moments. but i shall not mention it here, last night shall remain a secret for the 6-8 of us. i just have to say i do have some very very funny friends (when they are drunk).

seeing them after their A's is like seeing people who have left troubled days behind them. they look happy, relieved and thrilled that A's are truly over. i honestly do think that i'll be like this a year from now, and i'm looking forward to it but i'll have to survive this year first. that's a story for another day though.

seeing my friends yesterday, well, i don't know how to say what i felt exactly but it was definitely a night of highs and lows. there was so much laughter and ease, so many small conversations that made my night and encounters that changed some of my perspectives of these people who i've known for 2 years. but also my dear Cherie, once again we do love you with all our hearts so put a smile on that face of yours, everything will work it's way out eventually. if it doesn't, you still have us.

oh yes, i had my first proper conversation with Deon last night. i'm utterly happy that happened because after 2 years, i can finally say that i've broken ice with him and i'm happy to say that he's really a rather nice person to small talk with. i would also like to say a big thank you to Ryan and Desmond because they came back at 5.30am to clean up after the drunks (not me though, i was stone cold sober, just barely awake) seeing how tired i was, they actually told me to go sleep while they packed up the entire chalet with Wey Jieh. for that, i have to say: thank you guys, you are all real gentlemen :)

there's one last thing i would like to say though;

sometimes things change. we don't mean for it too, or maybe we subconsciously did but as i've always told myself; change is about the only constant. and so as much as change sometimes saddens me, i've learnt to take it in my stride and carry on with life. whether or not this change is permanent, whether or not we'll ever be the way we were, i take comfort that there was once great times, laughter and fond memories. i will always remember you as you are right now and i will remember us as the way we were.
