Kong Kong, I miss you.
Last night, was the first time I cried after the funeral. Sleepless night got me thinking about my grandfather. He was more than a grandparent. He was a father to me. & I miss him. So so much. It hurts when I think about the times we spent together. I laugh & remember the happy times, yet feel all sad & emotional to remember he's already gone. How can you ever stop thinking of someone who had lived with you for 18 years. I did not see him once a year, or only on CNY, no, not that kind. He was with me, everyday, living with me under the same roof. We were more than just close. We were real. Real family.
The past week was spent keeping myself as preoccupied as possible. Plans for birthday which I did not want initially. But I had to keep my mind off you, & I knew you only wanted me to be happy. 18th was good. I'm old now. I smell independence coming my way. Responsibility too. I will make you proud kong, just like I always hoped I would. I remember telling you during the Adam Khoo workshop; that my wish was to get good grades for Os & make you proud. I knew I had to, no matter what. You kept me going. And it paid off.
But I miss you. I do, I really do. I just want to come home from school & see your smile again. Even if it means not talking to you. Just to see you lie on your bed would be enough to make me happy. But no, I can't be that selfish to want you back here. Why let you suffer when you can lead a life of happiness up there, with God. You have everything there, hundred times better than the riches of this world. Ha, you're probably in the biggest & most royal casino in Heaven (they do have casinos in Heaven, don't they?), enjoying yourself, with zero worries & never-ending money for you to spend! :)
Or maybe you're watching a Man Utd match on your Gold plated, no, Gold (it doesn't have to be plated) 1000" Plasma Tv, in your gold decorated living room. You're a person of class & style. A very colourful character according to everyone. So I can just imagine what kind of house you have! Just remember to save a room for me. I will see you again one day.
I miss soccer matches with you. You're the one who got me hooked on soccer.
I miss running into your room, jumping into your bed, & just staring at you while you sleep & make funny noises/snores.
I miss your super excited face whenever you admire your watches, Rolex in particular. It was so funny how you had to constantly look at your watch in the hospital, just to make you feel better. You are such a cute person!
I miss how you always talk about getting a Ferrari (or any other sports car for that matter) so you could drive me around.
I miss how you always liked your things Gold. & that you insisted on getting the D&G Motorola phone although you don't have a clue how it works, all cause it was gold in colour. You even wanted Chasing Cars as your ringtone because Jon Leong sang it on SG Idol, & you liked him. Ha.
I miss how you would always answer the phone when I call, shout across the hall saying, "ay, the small girl wants you"
I miss the fact that although you constantly remind me of what a big girl I am, I was always a little girl in your eyes. YOUR little girl.
I even miss your stubborn-ess; how you always wanted things to be done your way. I even miss your quarrels with Por. So adorable. Your face every time... classic!
& needless to say, I miss breakfast, lunches, dinners, movies, after-dinner strolls, holiday-ing & cruising with you.
I'm sorry for the times I made you angry or sad, for the times I wasn't home in time to have dinner with you, for the times I lost my temper when I should have been more patient with you, for the times I took you for granted, for the times I lied to you & took advantage of your complete trust in me, for the times I chose to listen to other people instead & did not take your advices seriously. I'm sorry for the times I wasn't a good & responsible granddaughter.
But despite all that, you know I still love you.
I miss you, & a million times more. With lots of love.
The lovely people who make me happy!
BHSS-TP Love! :)
Shihui
Miss Teo Shihui. Thank you for being such a sweetie. Really, even offering to accompany me for revision lectures :) I appreciate it a lot.
Really glad we ended up in TP together. In Scythia! :) After school bus rides with you - love. Bubble tea, XXL chicken, pan cake! Fun times
we had just going out with um, Scythia people. Can't imagine TP life without you. No one to call after school & all. Sure damn miserable. HA.
But yeah, thanks a lot, for everything! :) For sweet msgs to make me feel better, for accompanying me all the time or waiting for me after school. For helping me with my work, &
basically anything & everything! :) More after-school hangouts soon! With Branda too! Love you loads!
Emily

glad to have you in TP. Someone I can talk to, share my problems with, just meet for lunch, go home together after school and all. OH em, thank
you for the little little things you do. Like, write me letters & stuff. Buy me chocs! :) So sweet la. And I believe you can get good grades next sem.
Just work a little harder okay, you sure can. You're not not NOT stupid so don't ever think that way. Thank you for always making sure I'm alright & stuff, for
always being there to hear my problems or help me out. I'm grateful for that. & You know I love you! :)
Kaiwen
Cheong Kai Wen! Someone I can talk to about anything! Especially our very interesting common topic! ;D HAHA. We have like so many things in
common. Okay la, maybe not a lot. But yeah, love after school chats with you, bus rides, opposite school walks just to buy bubble tea or have dinner.
Plus now, same empire! KOMEZ, woohoo! Really glad to be in the same school & empire as you! :) You make me feel so comfortable la, Kai. It's as though
I can do anything around you. Thank God for friends like you! :) Thank you for listening to my problems & stuff, for comforting me when I'm most in need of it,
for sending me sweet texts that will make me laugh or feel much better. Kai, what will I do without you. Thanks, x(a million)! Love you Kaikai!

Wei Yan
The first person I met in 1k03. Will never forget that moment either, lol. Thank you for being the sweetest classmate anyone can ever have. Like seriously. You & Chessia are both
love love love. And I don't want to change class. As in, I just want you, Chessia & I to be in the same class again. We rock together. We need to be together. Thank you for being such
a great project mate, a ultra sweet classmate & most importantly, a very wonderful friend. Thank you for the times you cheered me up, for the simple breakfasts, lunches & dinners
we had, for the times we studied together, or just roamed about TP. For the times we ate at Qi Ji together. For the times we shopped together. All these, I won't ever forget. Thank
you for being you. Oh, & for making my 18th extra special. For the present, the cake, for planning the sweet surprise, for even coming to my house at 12am when you live like a thousand
miles away, lol. I love you Weiyan, mwah! :)
Chessia
Chessia; high, crazy, ultra nice. Super sweet friend to have. Freaking funny too. Lost count of the times you made me laugh and all. WALAO. Really retarded times in school, at town,
your house, Weiyan's house, in the ladies, biz park, itas, classrooms, here, there, and basically everywhere! :) Thank you for always allowing me to do whatever I want to do, crazy or not.
HA. Thank you, for being you, Chessia Chen. For the sweet little letters/msgs you've sent me over the past year. For helping me with my work, for being such a fun project mate, for
just letting loose and having fun. For being such a great person to sit beside during lectures. For giving me online shops, HA. And just for being my friend. I don't care what people used
to think about you (ha, don't I sound like I'm your bf?), you are sweet and you know it. Whoever is a fool not to love you as much as I do. Take care Chessia! :)
Sean & King
Thank you for being such fun and cool project mates! The stayovers we had. Torture nights. Plus really awesome McDonalds' nights. HAHAH. Will never forget. So cool la, like tonning
and eating, & listening to music/watch funny lame stupid videos instead of doing project work & ended up with a B for MKG! :) The both of you are like full of character, different
characters. Ah, Okay, Go! won't be the same without the both of you! :)
Rest of 1K03
Will miss each and every one of you! :) Thank you, for making my year one a very memorable one!
1ko3 best LRM class already! :D
Fridaynights!
Yee Ting
AIYA YT, grow up & be a man. Have the courage to do things, okay. You know what I mean. Don't always let your emotions be bottled up & stuff. Thank you for the little
things you do, like making me laugh in a stupid & lame way, or like um, trying to improve my chinese somehow? On msn, HA. & sending me songs/pictures/whatever else I need
on the com. And er, I know you're new to this & stuff. But everyone has to start somewhere, you make mistakes along the way, it's inevitable. But you learn from it. Alright. :)
I believe that my bestf didn't choose the wrong guy, you just have to prove it to everyone else! :) Cheers!

appreciate it! Love!

The Ones who were always there :)
Cassandra Tan
Seeing you mature from P6 till now is really amazing. I still remember the first time you msged me, the first time you used the F word, the first time I used the F word.
The crazy times at your dad's old house, stayover at your mum's old house, tuition at your dad's new house. And now, parties at your mum's house. HA. Babe, thanks for being
there for me, although we don't meet as often as last time, I'm still glad you made an effort to call me every now & then, just to chat over the phone. Or tell me if something's
been happening with you or anyone else, or the crazy big news, more gossip, midnight insults & stuff. HA. Will never forget our people-insult game. Like all the time in Sec School.
And thank you for coming down to my house the moment you heard about it, just to see me & make sure I was alright. Love the way nothing's changed. Our friendship, more or less
the same. Thank you for all the invites to your house, your parties & stuff :) Love you Cass!
Jocelyn
Jocelyn. Ah Jocelyn. I knew you in DARE. Stayovers at your house, my house, chalets, camps, wherever! I knew I could always count on you for a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on,
or just someone I could talk to. We could talk about anything and everything under the sun. And we still can. Thank you for being such a GREAT friend, really. Learnt a lot from you.
From last time, the young, foolish & childish little kids to now, hm I'm not sure what we are now. Maybe growing up too fast? But yeah, I really need to thank you for always being
there when I need you. And now, even when you're in bangkok, thank you for the smses you sent to me :) & for remembering my birthday, even got me such a nice gift. I miss old crazy
times with you. Just chilling at your house. Midnight sneaks & stuff. Really, like last time. Sentosa, church, church camps, going here and there. When life was still so simple & fun. Now,
everything is more complicated & ya, we have our own things now. I'm busy with school & you're busy with work. But no, I won't forget you. And I'm sure you won't forget me either! :)
Love you loads babe, and I really hope to see you soon! Xoxo.
Darren Cher
Darren Cher Wee Hao. You, I don't even know what to say. HA. Just, thank you? For being such a great/nice/sweet friend. & that itself is amazing for someone I've only known for six/seven
months? Yea. For helping me time & time again, for so so many things?
Yes, really. Thank you for always being there for me, whether I need it or not. Late night chats with you are the best. Our topics just keep going on and on and on. It's like
we have too many things in common & stuff. You're such a honest friend, I don't exactly know how to explain that. But yea, you always seem to know how to make me feel better and
stuff. Old Trafford! HA. You are damn smart la, next time remind me not to ask you for your GPA, K thanks ;) Thank you for hearing my endless complaints sometimes & just
allowing me to rant the whole night is good enough! Once again, thank you for very interesting & honest late night convos! :) You are a true friend & I too, feel blessed! :)
Yuxiang
There're so many things I want to say to you now, but I just can't seem to put it all in words. The simplest and most sincere thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You are one
of the best guys I've ever met, & yea. Thank God for you! :)
The Ones no one can ever replace :)
Mummy
I love you. I need you. Thank you for all your love, care & concern for the past 18 years of my life.
Sorry for the times I made you angry or upset. The times I disappointed you. The times I could have done better.
Thank you for the many times you sacrificed in every way just to make me happy.
Thank you for giving me whatever I want, for pampering me in every way possible.
Thank you for sending me to school every single day, and to other places so very often.
Thank you for being YOU, & the world's greatest mum! :)
I will always love you.
PorPor
I love you to the ultimate x infinity.
THANK YOU for everything. Whatever Mum has done, you did too.
Thank you for being the sweetest grandmother in the world, for pampering us, for putting us before yourself, for giving me absolutely anything & everything
I want. For just giving me such a wonderful & comfortable life. My dream lifestyle.
I can never imagine what I'd be without you in my life.
Not only have you taught me what is right & wrong, you have taught me so much more.
And that there's more to life than what I hope for.
You're the greatest. &
I love you everyday! :)
Kor
Annoying but sweet, helpful & nice.
You're a good bro. You treat me well, you buy for me stuff. Help me whenever I can.
You're different from other brothers. You protect me. You make me laugh.
You cook for me when I get hungry in the middle of the night
And although you can be irritating in times, you're much sweeter than irritating so that's a good thing! HA!
And as much as I hate to admit it, I need you in my life & I'm going to miss you for the two years that you'll be in army. No one to quarrel with. HA. No lah,
no one to talk nonsense with. No one to gossip with. No one to make fun of people with.
Although I don't say it, & I can't rmber the last time I did but yeah, I love you! :)
