I was trying to decide on whether I needed to create a new blog as recommended by NIE to jot down all the little 'learning moments' when I stumbled upon this otherwise long forgotten blog.
On a night like this, reading all these old posts leaves me with a bittersweet feeling. So much has changed and happened since the days when we were all that innocent and young in school, learning together in the same classroom and supporting each other on. I always knew that these friends are special and irreplaceable but I don't think I've ever realized just how fortunate I am to have met this wonderful group of friends till much later. Till this day, I still look back to those days as one of the best periods in my life.
The years in Nanyang Girls' High School left us with more than just good grades and knowledge. Whenever I go for educational psychology class in NIE and learnt about potential issues that teenagers have to grapple with in the process of growing up, I am ever so thankful that I didn't have to go through that phase with a sense of dread and despair. I could just be who I am and feel accepted for being myself. I could excel in some areas and learn from my peers in others.
Despite all that I've gained from this precious group of friends, I know that I haven't done enough to show my appreciation and gratitude to them. Some of us have stayed closer together than the others. But that doesn't mean that we don't cherish all the memories and friendship we have forged with one another.
Because regardless of the path that we have chosen, I know we will all be there rooting for one another and be ready to be a pillar of support or a listening ear whenever one of us needs.
So, girls, if you ever get to stumble upon this blog again like I just did today, here's a huge thank you to each and every one of you. For everything you've done, for all the support, love and concern, for the memorable moments where we've laughed and learnt together, and just for being who you are. May recalling all those moments that we've had together light up your day and bring a smile to your face the way our memories do to me for many, many more years to come. :)
