happy birthday britt

hey britt!
it's been a year! everything's moving really quick here for me. i dont know about you. but i hope you're enjoying yourself, making new friends, and taking opportunities to discover more of yourself as they come. i think this year has been a rather eventful year for me, having to step into a new environment, making new friends, trying out new sports (i'm in squash now, you know!!), balancing studies and play on an even thinner piece of tightrope, taking on a new subject (econs!), and so much more. this year has been more trying for us all at lcia (if you dont already know, it's the club that our dear meryl and robs founded back in sc) cos we were all put in different schools (well, almost all), and our schedules did not fit nicely. but we learnt, and we accomodated, and we still met up at the start of the year, for dinners at scotts (our favourite hangout then). we met up during the holidays i guess, but i went to maldives with my school in march, clara to bali with hers in june (a coincidence that she met smo there on holiday), robs to cambodia for missions in june, so there was only the faintest, vaguest memory of us meeting during the march and june holidays. and sept holidays was the worst, cos everyone's busy with promos, pw, rushing to finish one year's work in a matter of one week. isn't it amazing that everyone managed to pull through in the end? one year just came and went like that. but you know what? it isn't the activities that left the greatest impression, but more so the experience that we survived the year together, the acknowledgement that we've grown closer despite being physically apart. i dont know what went on for you this year. but i certainly hope that there was at least one thing that really made this year a different one from all the seventeen that you've gone through. happy 17th birthday britt! miss you lots.
your ex-desk partner,
wai teng
