<body>
I read a note my grandma wrote back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat and he showed it once to me
He said," Boy you might not understand, but a long long time ago
Grandma's daddy din like me no one, but I loved your grandma so
We had this crazy plan to meet, and run away together
Get married in the first town we come to and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we supposed to meet instead
i found this letter and this is what it said
*If you get there before I do, don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores all through, I don't know how long I'll be
But i'm not gonna let you down, Darling wait and see
But between now and then till I see you again
I'll be loving you..love me
I read those words just hours before my grandma passed aways
In the doorway of a church where me and grandpa stopped to ray
I know I never seen him cry in all my fifteen years
But as he said those words to her
His eyes filled up with tears
* And between now and then till I see you again
I'll be loving you... love me

Hi all!!!

The long-awaited june hols are finally here. I really can't believe it, not that i'm feeling rather estactic. i'll tell you guys why later.

mx>> I must say your english has really improved ever since you entered junior college! upon reading your latest entry, i thought it was authored by cel, because it sounded so reflective and to some extent mature. all the others, correct me if i'm wrong. Well, i feel that ij was once a huge part of our lives, but in the future, it'll soon become just a memory, one that we will occasionally recollect as and when we meet up.

my June holidays absolutely sucks!! oh did i mention holidays?? this period is not even considered a holiday at all. Pass the judgement. Is a holiday one when you have enormous piles of homework that you serioulsy doubt your ability on whether you can complete it, one when you have to study for a common test rumored to be so difficult that students pull their hair out studying for it and come out of the exam hall in tears (GP)? At least, that wasn't my notion of holidays before i entered JC 1 life.

I think my research project is really going to suck. My mentor is absolutely horrible! He is so cheenah!!! I presume he is from China. the worst part is that i find it a little difficult to understand him, as he can't pronounce his words properly. plus, i had to read up information by myself, while the other mentors just gave my fellow schoolmates information to read. i just hope things will take a turn for the better.

ps: got to go back to reading.... which seems like gibberish to me...
bye guys, see you all at the hotel stay soon!!

In the midst of all the stress and fun and business jc life brings, i kinda think of ij less. plus it doesn't hurt anymore walking in the opp direction of all the IJ girls in the morning. so i thought i have 'successfully' moved on, so i was kinda relieved? or maybe i felt freed? i'm not sure also!
i saw ij having mass last friday from my window! i heard the entire homily, the Eucharist, the songs, i vaguely saw the sign of peace. the sea of blue was nostalgic, the all so familiar hymns, the dedication songs at the end of mass where we held each other and sang, the Our Fathers, the numerous masses where we sat out in the sun scorching heat got on our nerves... these memories left me choking with tears
then they sang "One Family", the school song, our Founder's Day song (in french and english), and the IJ Spirit song. those were such sweet memories, and now, i think we were so stupid to say we hated school.


Does it really what we call ourselves
As long He's the one who first called us?
Why spend our time fighting among ourselves
When He called us to spread His love?
Remember His message to us:

We are one family, in the Lord
That's how it's meant to be, in the Lord
Working hand in hand,
To make Him known though out the world
So let's just stop and face each other
It's like looking in the mirror
Recognize our similarities
Yes, it's time to come together
We can make things even better
Try to be what He meant us to be
ONE family

Does it really matter how we pray or sing
As long it's His name on our lips?
Just enjoy the way he made us different but the sane
'Cos He made us to be like Him
Don't forget what He made us to be

daz sampson-teenage life

"What did you learn at school today?"
That's what the teachers used to say (oh yeah)
But they don't know, don't understand, do they?
Why do they always give advice? (always)
Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life (lets go)

"What did you learn at school today?" (what did ya learn, what did ya learn)
That's what the teachers used to say
But they don't know, don't understand, do they? (why)
Why do they always give advice? (always, always)
Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life

Dwelling on the past, from back when I was young
Thinking of my school days and trying to write this song
Classroom schemes and dreams, man, they couldn't save me
'Cause my days were numbered when I signed down on Avy (Avy)
Teenage kicks running out, what could we do?
I still show respect to my boys who made it through
And getting told off Mr T how my life would be
Then giving him a signal, so everyone could see (could see)
Sunshine and shade, those girls I'd serenade
Thinking of those sixth form chicks that misbehave (whatever)
Hoping that those days would go on and on forever
Every day something new, just friends running together (together)
But suddenly school ends, your teenage life's gone (lifes gone)
All your mates are growing up now, they're moving on (moving on)
And now I'm looking back, I'll tell you what I know
Do you listen to your teacher? No, I don't think so


"What did you learn at school today?" (yeah, yeah)
That's what the teachers used to say
But they don't know, don't understand, do they?
Why do they always give advice?
Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life


Now if you treat the kids fine, together they will shine (yeah yeah)
Ooh ooh ooh... shine ( we all will shine) (hear me now)
And if you give the kids time, they won't do the crime (No, No)
Won't do the crime (give them a little time)
Now my bad old ways were during my school days
Messing on those grade A's, my life is just a haze
I'm going through the struggle, five ten and kicking back
So I could lock my flow, lace it up now on the track
Oh yeah, I felt the pain, whilst chasing all the fame
I'm being told I'm nothing, just a player in the game
But now I walk tall, stand proud for you to see
I'm driving these fast cars, it's five stars for me


"What did you learn at school today?"
That's what the teachers used to say
But they don't know, don't understand, do they? (don't know nothing)
Why do they always give advice? (always giving advice yeah)
Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life
(yeah yeah) when it's been a long time since they had a teenage life

TO those slackers out there!! here is our account of the big walk 21/5/2006.

ghislaine: The big walk today was a great experience, something though intangible, but will make a significant imprint in your memory. For the walk this year, it was lonelier, as we were missing melissa, however, we also completed it much faster, also because of melissa. Though we set out later because aly overslept, when most of the people were almost on their way back, we reached the finish line earlier than we did last year, in a record time of 2h 30min! This time, we did not stopover at suntec city for a break. In fact, i think its safe to say that we were still feeling quite energetic after the walk. I hope in the near future, we'll be able to go for 2 rounds, a total of 20km. Along the way, we took numerous pictures, of the esplanade, suntec city, a weird looking building and also the fullerton hotel. we took the same pictures last year! This is big walk's swansong at the national stadium, and i'm feeling very happy that we went for it this time, despite our heavy schedules and workload. all the same, i'm rather excited for the walk next year, as it'll be a totally new scenary. after the walk, the trio proceeded to suntec city by BUS, take not melissa, by BUS! and binged. this is horrible, i mean eating without thinking, where we had creampuffs, and lots of free food from carrefour. mel, you must be thinking that i'm a cs right? but let me tell you this, mx was the one that ate most of the food.
ok guys, i'll leave aly and mx to tell you about part 2 and part 3 of the day. gotta run along now, see you guys soon!! <)

mx: muahaha! BIG walk was a fantastic exp. but poor aly didnt have sa to complain and walk slowly with, she had no choice but to follow us! wahahah! and she didnt complain man, just kept telling ghis "let's discuss GP." it's like walking with the sane and insane! and sa wasnt there to like be the in between, and without her, the 3 of us successfully took a bus back to suntec. but haha! she didnt quite get her way with food! anyway thanks for such a terrific exp. i love u guys:)

hi everyone! i think i'm going to have a really sick holiday... sigh...

kel> i so agree with you, i think our blog is really going to rot and grow mould and soon e info inside will self delete cause no one's been using it.. and this is ultra sad...

big walkers> rest well tonight, to prepare yourself for e big walk tmr!! i think it'll be damn fun and exciting! and oh, aly pls don't walk so slow again.. you just have to unleash your potential!

i'm so dreading common test now, i think i'm really going to do so badly! i want to get promoted leh! so worried now la! just dunno what to do... all e questions are so difficult!

today's carnival was quite interesting, but e food was so ex! i almost died, the haunted house did by one of the ip classes, was based on the movie ju-on, its said to be really good! in case all of u are wondering, no, i didn't visit e haunted house!!! i would have died! there was also this game called e lion's roar, where you scream into the mike, and they will read the loudness of the sound off the decibel meter, the top prize is an ipod shuffle la!!!!
oh! they have this italian soda thay tasted really GOOD! but its actually just ribena concentrate
+ soda water... sold out like hot cakes!!!
there is this guys in my class that is so vulgar that everyone can't stand him, and he willingly wanted to get dunked, but it think he was desperate to get dunked, just so he coiuld get attention, he actually brought clothes! but this best thing was when it was about ot happen, no one wanted to watch the scene....
i think i have to get back to mugging, i'll never be able to complete the mountain of homework that i have!!!! sigh......

" Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." (found this in the year 2002 steeple, one of the essays in there. thought it was quite meaningful cuz it is very relevant to what we're experiencing now. We still miss IJ.)

hey everyone, im here to blog again because no one's blogging. so depressing to see this blog rotting away.:( anyway, could you guys please make a teeny weeny effort to blog too? just a little will do, it doesnt have to be long long entries......it's like the only way i can find out how you guys are doing, what's happening in your school and all. cuz we dont get to meet each other everyday and all. i wanna know what's happening! blog soon alright??

anyway, just had my very first presentation ytd. and i just talked about IJ, what we learnt and all. we had to be dressed in office wear and all. haha. my whole class looked like this big gang of mafias walking arnd NYP. hahas. but i thought it was quite an experience, at least i think we dont get to do that in JCs! the girls all looked like future lawyers and the guys were either ch5 news presenterst(those wearing blazers) or waiters /robinsons' salesstaff. wahaha.

sighs, poly aint so slack anymore, got projects piling up alr. gotta do properly cuz the lecturers expect quite a lot from us as well. but im still loving it. :)

btw, to the rest of the RG: can we please have a gathering soon? havent seen you all for so long alr! miss you all babes!

and this song is dedicated to all you guys out there:

Graduation by Vitamin C

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of the night in June
I didn't know much of love, but it came too soon
And there was me and you, and then it got real blue
Stay at home talkin' on the telephone and
We would get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

Chorus:
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change,
Come whatever
We will still be, friends forever

So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money
When we look back now, will that joke still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

Chorus:
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change,
Come whatever
We will still be, friends forever


La, la, la la; yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, we will still be friends forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

Chorus:
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change,
Come whatever
We will still be, friends forever


kelynn.

hey everyone! i has been a long long long long long long long time ever since i posted an entry here! life has been really tough for us especially those in JC- its a constant struggle to get on our feet. I really miss all of us. WHo would've known it would be so difficult to meet up and enjoy each other's presence again. I just wish we could go back to the old times where everything was just in place. well the next song is for us =(


The click five-time machine

Oh what a mess
Youve got the best of my heart it broke
And now it's just a joke
Cause you're moving right along I
'm still here and you're gone
Oh what a scene
You know I didn't mean for the winds to change
Won't ever be the same
Cause the kisses that you blew
Could never improve

I think I need some time by myself
Without anybody else
I just need to unwind
In my time machine
I need to go far away
A few years back would be okay
I just need to unwind
In my time machine

Hey you yeah I'm talking to you
You lost your love in bed
And now it's just dead
Because it didn't mean a thing
But youre waiting for a ring
Hey it's a game and aint it a shame
I was just a show
I thought that this was love
But I can't be fooled again
I'm crying out but I can't give in

I think you need some time
By yourself
Without anybody else
You just need to unwind
In your time machine
You need to go far away
A few years back would be okay
You just need to unwind in your time machine


Oh the things that we could change
(Things that we could change)
Now we'll never be the same I

think I need some time by myself
Without anybody else
I just need to unwind In my time machine
I need to go far away
A few years back would be okay
I just need to unwind In my time machine

hey babes.

I'm so sorry but I don't think we can have the hotel stay anymore. cos it's on the weekend. Which means that almost a lot of us cannot make it. So sorry people. But time doesn't permit this outing. I'll try my best okay. Pray hard yar!

sa, how are things there? Found a date yet? Anyway here's what's happening in Spore at the moment. Besides all the madness in sch and all that crap, we are having the big GENERAL ELECTIONS. haha, and all the campaigning is going on. Like how aly puts it, they seem like a bunch of childish kids trying to win. And all the rivalry going on, it makes the news more exciting! Anyways we miss u loads. ghis and I were talking that day. N we agreed how meaningless school can get when the 3 of us are not together anymore. And even though lessons suck, we still had each other and this has changed to drastically! hahah, just wan say that we treasure u a lot and will not forget you! So u cannot forget us okay?

ghis, must tahan okays? Make sure u blardy get your 4 As at the end of J2. And must tell us everytime u have a special day and finish early! Then we can go back IJ and collect our certs and talk and laugh and crap together! I miss u too. Take care and God bless, BIG hug
