How We Left in Coats and Ties

Everyone in 0901 enjoyed MCKL's Suit-up Day.

Oh yes, Floyd is the most outstanding one there because he's the top of the pyramid and he the only black guy in Arts.

Way to go, African.

It was the last day of college for some of them. It was the last official full day for most of us. It was memorable enough to make me sit down and be quiet for a moment.

Shall miss the girls. Thank God we got the friendship necklace on Wednesday. Maybe I should carve their names on it.

Here I am saying that I'll miss them and then I'll meet them during the study break. Maybe we'll end up in the same university? I do hope for that.

I'll definitely miss the charismatic Deirdre. There'll be no more surprises in life: the heels she wears and the clothes she dresses in. Not to mention her randomness and bits of philosophical thoughts.

She's the type of female I aspire to be. Instead of being textbook-smart, she's street-wise, confident and mature. It's been a pleasure knowing you, Shan.

Yui my dearest Putra LRT buddy.

I've always enjoyed our train rides together. I wished I didn't have to dump you off at Masjid Jamek, leaving you alone on a long journey home. We shall find another day for another train ride together, I promise =)

I remember her since Children's Church, the ever beautiful Lydia. Never thought we'd end up in the same college though.

No one wants to be remembered as a sexy babe forever. Initially in our naive years maybe we welcome that nickname, but we mature and eventually find it shallow. Like Lydia said, "I was young and naive." She remains in my memory as the sweet girl who came up to me and said hi when the others didn't care.

In Economics, you learn about the PIGS economy (Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain). Similarly, in Economics class you have the YEEs (YinYEE, TienYI and YEEChieh).

3 pretty girls with the brains to takeover the world. 2 going into Law and one going into Economics. Challenging courses. I wish you girls all the best and may God pour His blessings on you continuously.

Nobody will forget Sam. He is too huge a fragment to erase. All his showing off and odd preference in women. But I guess that's what we call 'character' in Cantonese. You've got that, Sam.

Of course, YingYing the enchanted pianist who charmed last year's Awards Night with Rachmaninoff, as well as a Maths genius will never be forgotten.

My lovely 'parents'. Mommy Sarah said they looked like as if they came to attend my graduation convocation. And I agree. Daddy Ben certainly has the fatherly look on his face.

Such a cute pair. You can't talk about one and leave out the other. They come together. They fight over little things and reconcile instantly, which is a good thing. Occasional fights add flavour to the relationship. Stay strong, you two.

Songbird, nightingale, I don't know how else to describe you.

We are girls of pretty words and fancy phrases, as you said. It's so difficult to find a person who appreciates music for what it is and not what is sounds like. Chopin lover. I shall meet you on 25th July and we shall watch 'The Damnation of Faust' together. There'll be comments on the baritone singer, I'm sure.

Floyd Floyd! The name so nice you gotta say it twice, lol. The way you look, Floyd... I shall quote Grace, "Floyd? Yummy."

And yes, you do carry the colour black very nicely. But you should try out some other colours, you know. May I suggest purple? Or perhaps pink? Red is good. Manchester United and Arsenal jerseys will do nicely XD

The adorable Chloe whose looks can deceive you. For such a tiny person she sure has some big thoughts going about her head. ALL THE TIME, let me tell you that.

She's such a cutie and she does bellydance! Will always remember how you stunned the crowd during last year's Orientation Ball. 5s2 students rock all the way to the top. Maybe we'll meet in Edinburgh, then you shall cook while I clean.

My twin who no longer share my looks. Since the day of her drastic haircut, we're separate entities and no one mistake us for the other anymore. Thank God for that lol.

The 3 musketeers. Who would have thought the name 'Esther' is so popular that 3 of us share it? And we're all in Arts. The creepy part was that we all take Law.

Yet we're so different. Siah is the sporty one, Lian is the one with the calculative business brain while I'm the nerd. Although it could be annoying sometimes, but I thoroughly enjoyed the times when someone calls out our shared name and the 3 of us turned simultaneously. Between ourselves, we address each other by our surnames, which was cute.

Best of all, we rock.

Yun, ai shiteru. The Japanese speaking Chinese girl who can write pretty Japanese words. I remember you being Elmo and 'zhong lap'.

Love the fake suspenders, James. Take good care of my LRT buddy or I'll rip those suspenders off. Be a good boy now, and lend me your iPod Touch so I can play Tap Tap =D

The name Ah Deng is difficult to forget. Adeline is my one and only Ah Deng and I'm her Chung Chung. She loves Ryu from Super Junior and speaks Korean quite fluently. She's so cool that she returns an air kiss when I give her one in front of Mrs. Dharma. LOL.

Oh and Caroline. Started talking to her this semester. She has gorgeous hair that curves at the right angles and I absolutely want it. I shall say this again: Caroline made this picture prettier lol.

Maths lessons are colder and more interesting with Mr. JP. I complained about his intolerance for the slightest temperature increase, his sarcasm and his mountain of homework all the time. Yet these were what made the lesson interesting.

He and his good friend Mr. York lol. His dislike for plain water. His funny faces. His sharp sarcasm. I actually miss him now, Thursday being our last Maths class.

P/S: 18 months fly past so swiftly. I'm lamenting the unforgiving Father Time. When we just started to know each other, we had to part ways.

I like the symbolic meaning of suiting up. Compare 5th of May 2010 to the 5th of January 2009. The clothes we wore on the first day of college and the clothes we wore on the last day of college. See how we grew and matured?
