so there we stood last night, on the same stage where we were fresh-faced and unsure of what communal living can possibly mean for us, some three years
ago.

fast-forward, past the still-enthusiastic post-orientation days, the
barrage of committees we joined during both the term time and holidays, the
tanned ol’ days of multi-sports trainings, the late-night dins and our
encounters with the infamous black man in white, the extreme birthday
celebrations. past the tears from the possible stress of these out-of-school
activities, and the smiles from everything, and everyone else.

so here we stand, a little younger than the ones who’ve been around for a year more, but definitely no longer in the places of the young, where we like to fondly remember ourselves as.

some of us, flying off to the next phase of life;
seeking a job, a new house, and a new life outside. some of us, hanging around
just a little more. and some, a little undecided, for life’s decisions are tough
and how do you know when you’ve made the right one?

whatever it is, life around this place is never gonna be the same again. we’ve all been around for so long, and been through so much, both the ups and downs. even if we do not know what lies ahead for us, we do know that a room’s never gonna be just a room, a wing’s never gonna be just a wing, a block’s never gonna be just a block and the hall’s never gonna be just a hall.

I teared a little after reading what Shanz wrote on her blog for TH Appreciation Dinner. Indeed that's how i am feeling exactly, deep inside me.

I will truly miss my wonderful neighbours and the time we spent together! (:


it's not goodbye, just the time for us to fly
