Well, it all boils down to this, in exactly 5 hours, i will be taking my
Oath of Allegiance to Singapore.
I will step out of my boundaries as a civillian and
step forth into a new phase in my life,
I will no longer be a boy, but at the end of my journey,
in the eyes of society i will have changed into a man.
*
This past year of 2004 has been a tremendously hard year as
it was a learning year as well.
In it, i gained new friendships, lost precious ones,
and reconciled with old friends. But most importantly,
itr was a year of new knowledge and new life experiences for me.
*
Today, as i will take the slow trip out of home towards the
SAF Ferry Terminal at Changi, i will look towards the sky and admire
its beauty one last time as a normal civillian,
i will smell the air of the mainland and take in the breeze all the while
reminicising about my life thus far.
*
In the space of one and a half years in JC,
i've come across so many people from diverse walks of life,
diverses perspective thats comes packaged with diverse personalities as well.
It sure has been one hell of a road trip for me, as much as it was a
great learnign experience.

My first and only class in CJC, at first i was apprehensive having come from SA,
i thought i wouldn't fit in since everyone looked so un-fun,
but hell was i wrong, not ony have i witnessed our class grow from
a disjointed group of students, to one of the most united class i;ve been in
to date. We had our fun times, we had our down times, we slogged together
and we played together. Sure, we may not have as many class outings,
or as many awards, but one thing is for sure,
we sure had eachother for company. =)
29th CJCSC
29CJCSC, you dudes and dudettes rocked my world.
We may have fought among ourselves,
disagreed, but nothing beats the fact that we are one united council.
Joining council was and still is, the one thing that i'll never
regret doing in my life.
=)
*
Along the way, i made many precious friends.
You all know who you all are. =)
*
Orientation 2005 was well, a blasting success i would say.
But at the end of it, i didn't feel as happy as i thought i would,
somehow i felt sadness, regret and well, generally i didn't feel
all that good about myself.
*
To you, the one that slipped away.
i really regret not getting your number, i should have when i could have.
But i played with fate and asked for too much.
Oh well, i hope i do get to see you again.
*
TO BTWQ,
Just before i go army, i just want to say a big thank you
for making 2 and a half years of my life memorable and wonderful.
I hope the memories we shared will not be forgotten as it will not
be by me.
I wish you all the best in your Poly life and may we one day, meet again.
*
To all other readers of my blog,
though i do not know who you all are, but i do recognise the fact
that you all still come in often to read
(eversince i installed the counter, till then,
i never realised so many people actually read my blog)
*
So now, as i approach the threshold of my teenage life, i will
step out bravely and face what is ahead of my path.
I will look forward and strive hard for the glory of my Family name
and to the future of my being.
Till then dear friends and all, i bid you farewell.
=)

Leaving on a Jet plane
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn'
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Ahha ahha
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
but tell him that they don't mean a thing
Every place I go I’ll think of you
Every song I sing I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
by the times that I won't have to say
Oh kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
But I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
But I'm leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
On a jet plane

Till Then, Cheerios everyone....
