dolorous interludes.

Graduation Day. i'll look back someday and feel a sense of nothingness; one cannot relive the moments that have passed us by; its like taking a photo somewhat, how two pictures'll never look completely alike. it is the moment that matters: that spontaneous smile, that sparkle in the eyes, that sentimental goodbye, that sweet sweet joy of knowing a new chapter is about to unfold itself, and that soft sadness in knowing, also, that this chapter is about to reach its end. i want to hold onto this day, i want to remember always, the people who have touched my life in my two very special years here; i want to remember the teachers who have been more than incredible; i want to remember my very special friends who have stood by me through my fears, doubts, idiosyncracies, girlish ravings, and heated rantings; i want to remember the silhouettes, vague, but precious; i want to remember how God brought me to RJC, having known from the start, how much i would learn and be blessed by the richness of values integrated in many of the most outstanding, and in the camouflaged wallflowers.

Photos were taken, and photos are but photos. they capture the moment, that moment, but never so well the experience as a whole, and the friendship and camaraderie established through time. the intangible is difficult to grasp, and thus easiest lost, and this is why i know this day will soon fade away with the other truckload of memories in my life. i doubt ever, that the song "If we Hold on Together", and the phrase "Auspicium Melioris Aevi" will hold as much meaning and sentimentalism as they have today, and i guess this marks the end of my raffles career! how sad it is.

College. a mirage of oh so different groups of people. the extent to this dynamic mixture cannot be witnessed elsewhere i would think, and this is the very beauty of school! jocks, famewhores, sluts, nerds, wallflowers, the eccentric, the brains, the misfits, the musicians, gosh the list could go on forever! each one of these add colour and character to the school experience holistically, and it wouldnt have been the same without them all. so its goodbye i guess, and hello to money-making, car driving, no uniforms(i'll really really miss this bit), and travelling! -laughs- it sounds almost all too good(without school, that is) but im really gonna miss it. i know i will.

Adieu to you, to you, and to you.
