version 30; feat. BoA

I was talking to Lavanya on Wednesday and she made me realise that I really really miss Cedar alot. And I mean ALOT. I don't know why we were talking about my school and she told me about her friend who was also from Cedar who really loves Cedar to bits. So I guess I gonna write about Cedar, my dear school and my dear friends.

In the beginning when I first got into the school, I didn't really feel as if I belonged there, because I was missing Peichun alot, although many of my classmates [as many as 12 girls] also came to Cedar. And 4 of us became classmates again in 1A. We hung out alot together, as well as with the other peichunners who were in our class. But slowly when we all joined various CCAs, the bond kind of broke and we began to hang out with our CCA mates.

To the Peichunners who became Cedarians, we all spent so much time together, but we all drifted apart because we had new lives and new friends. But still, I will not forget our PCPS days as well as our Cedar days that we spent together, though short in Cedar, but still memorable.

My class 1A'02 and 2A'03 basically have the same classmates, and I had a group that I always hung out with. Yunqian, Keng Yee, Su Bee [in sec 1], Audrey, Rachael Chong, Hui Hui... We always take loads of stupid pictures with Yunqian and Audrey being models, though silly, but still it's a kind of memory and a really good one. I think I hung out more with this group when I was in lower sec, and I still remember ERSIE [YQ do you rmb? LOL!]

To this bunch of girls, although most of us changed class in sec 3, I still love the times we had spent in those days, hanging out during after school hours at Sumo-Bento and taking more stupid pictures. 1A/2A will always be in my heart, and also Ms Tessa Tan and the time when she started being nice to us.

Sec 3C'04 and 4C'05 are the times I really enjoyed alot, with the many guides in my class and also our recess gang.

To my favourite recess gang: Pamela, Tze Yin, Bijun and Christabel
I LOVE YOU GIRLS! Will never forget the times that we queue for food together, especially for curry chicken mee on fridays and we'll always chiong to the canteen! And also we always crap together, talking about disgusting stuff especially a certain someone who always does! Pam will always be DKDKD and DS and Ty will always be DKD and D! And Pam, your grandfather is Dick Lee! Do I have a nickname? I don't remember already! And of course Bijun will always be PIGEON! I love taking pictures with you girls. I still have everything we took since sec 3! Miss having recess together. Let's go back to Cedar one day to have recess! LOL.

To my dear guides, especially [in no particular order]:
Tzeyin, Emmeline, GONGS, Jerlyn, Ahma [birthday celebration gang]
Yunqian, Valerie, Wanling
Alicia, Majella [Kbox gang]
Chenya, Wanru [sakae sushi gang]
You girls totally rock my life. I don't know what I would have become without you girls and of course all the ups and downs we spent in guides, helping and encouraging each other. Although there were many cliques among us when we were in lower sec and sec 3, we still had strong bonds within our cliques. And somehow, everyone became one big clique when we were in sec 4. Many events brought us together, some brought us apart. But eventually I guess what brought us all together was the fact that we became seniors and it was our last year being guides and we had to show our juniors a good example and be close together. I guess that benefitted us alot too and now we have all become great friends.

I really wanna shout out to all of you but I don't think I can, so only some of you.

To TZEYIN
I really consider you as one of my top friends whom I can talk to with about absolutely everything. I love the times when we were table partners, when we fall asleep in class, when we text each other and you always reply so slowly, when we do homework together, when we lunch together, when we go tuition together, when we go shopping together after school at town, and much more. I really treasure a friend like you and I really hope that we'll always be friends, whether we'll still be close or not. Of course I hope we remain close! You always make my day when you say funny and lame things, and after school when we walk out to Potong Pasir together. Thanks for letting me tompang in your dad's very cute car every now and then! You come my house so many times but I still haven't gone to your house before. One day must let me go! LOL.

To GONGS
Although we were in the same class in lower sec, we have never been really close then. We only become really close in sec 3 and onwards because of Asian Pop! Remember the times we went crazy over DBSK and ordered so many CDs from Yesasia? And you helped me! I love the card you made for new year which was quite belated right? Your drawing always rocks! Some more you can draw anime at full body size and that's really amazing. You're always so funny and always deny that you're gongs but you still respond! I love your outrageous fashion sense and outrageous hair colour! You look good with blue hair! Love the times we spend at the school piano when I'll teach you Lalala Love Song! Can you still remember how to play? I hope you do!

To EMMELINE
Patrol mate! Kingfisher rocks forever. You, me and Zihui will always be the 3 loudhailers of Kingfisher! I miss patrol corner alot. Although its always us talking to Joy and Hanwei and the rest would keep quiet, I still love it. You are a really good listening ear! I think I told you alot before right? LOL. Hope you're having a great time rock climbing and with your XXX! Oh yes and the handbags, remember? Love the sunset at sentosa, especially the time we went after National Day celebrations. And we did rifle drills at sentosa with TY! We always go crazy over rifle drills and those you-know-who-I'm-talking about. We must lie on each other's tummies and laugh together again!

To YUNQIAN
Though many ups and downs happened, I still want to let you know you're a great friend! You are the best person ever to talk on the phone with, especially when it comes to gossiping. The times we spent together going to autograph sessions and Energy's concert was great. We always spend our time talking on the phone about our idols and often bought their CDs together. We even had a fanfic, although I didn't write at all. I still have the very funny present you gave me with Wanling for my birthday in sec 1. And we went crazy over CJS too! Teddy Bear! You're absolutely one of those friends I have been closest with. I still remember the time we cried over the phone when Toro was leaving, and we talked on the phone for more than an hour the day before SS prelim paper! How lucky am I to have a friend who can click so well with me. I only took so little neoprints with you. We gotta take more! =)

To MAJELLA
We both know we hated each other in lower sec! I guess we became closer when we started exchange postcards right? That's like sec 3 if I'm not wrong. Then I think we became really close in sec 4, when you began to listen to alot of Kpop. We can also talk about alot of stuff right! And I know we have similar tastes in alot of things. Good to talk to you about music! And I really thank all the times that your mom gave me a lift home and saved me so much transport time. You're like my Kbox-ing buddy along with Alicia and Rachel and you girls all sound great! Thanks for being smart and helping me with my studies when I needed it. You've been great company! I really believe that our friendship can go on for a long long time. =)

To ALICIA
My dear treasurer! We always spend time collecting money from the guides and hounding after them like loansharks! I think I became really close to you only in sec 4 when we became treasurers. And also when we choreographed the sec 4 dance for the campfire. You are such a good dancer and you're smart, pretty, hardworking, can sing, can cook, WOW. You're the perfect person everyone would wanna be like. Haha. It was great not only being fellow treasurers but also when we were partners during the dance. The TRI-ANGLE part! Love our sec 4 dance. And remember we did the dance together in the AS1 and Sharon filmed it for us on your HP? Do you still have it? I want! Hope to dance with you again although I doubt there'll be a chance.

To WANRU
The woman who loves her pink crocs! R&R forever! I still remember you're always in the F&B departments and you voluteered to be in R&R! So funny. We spent loads of times drawing the R&R floorplans and re-drawing whenever Juiying wasn't happy with it. And we all draw until scared right! And many times we hang out together at TP Central. Is Dancing in the Moonlight still your favourite song? LOL. You're mom is so hip and so nice. And your chio sister! I will never forget the day before Glanz Nacht when we spent a crazy day shopping and rushing stuff out at your house. I'm so sorry for being the first to doze off! Let's go airport with Chenya again. Take 53 all the way. =)

To CHENYA
You hot babe! Tall and pretty. Make people envious. LOL. Anyway you're my buddy to take MRT with after all those campfires to AMK station and we always hope 73 and 165 comes at the same time! So that none of us will be left behind. I thought you wanna marry Hyesung? LOL. You should be the best person to look for about fashion and skincare! I wonder how much you have. One day when you have a modelling show and if can must ask me go! I wanna see =) Take care loads with your Mr okay? Miss ya loads!

I guess that's all. I can't think of what more to say already.

I miss Cedar like mad.
I miss the clock tower.
I miss the courtyard.
I miss the canteen.
I miss my classroom.

[Did anyone realise up to this point everything begins with a 'C'?]

I miss my blue and grey uniform.
I miss the guides lounge.
I miss the empty corridors.
I miss the MPH and the gallery.
I miss Ms Chng!
I miss the teachers.
I miss Ms Susan Leong!
I miss my dear friends.
I miss the juniors.
I miss Cedar, my second home.

I don't feel as though NP has given me that second home feeling because I think its too big and there's too many people. While in Cedar, although you didn't know everybody, somehow everyone seemed familiar. It was just like during orientation, Xueling came to say hi to me although I don't think we ever talked before. Somehow there is this kind of closeness. The bonds and friendships forged in Cedar, I believe, will probably last forever. We all spent so much time together in school everyday, as much as 12 hours, so we will undoubtly be so close. After all activities in Cedar, I don't really like leaving to go home. But now in NP, everytime my lessons end I don't want to stay behind. The feeling is so different. I believe I love Cedar more than I love Peichun although I spent less time in Cedar than in Peichun.

Once a Cedarian, always a Cedarian. I will never regard myself as an ex-student or refer Cedar as my ex-school.

There will not be a day that I would not be thinking of anything related to Cedar. Don't think there will ever be a day like that...
