MEL BELLE Bop bop bop bop to the top slide and slideeee. This year has been one of the best years of my schooling life, and wouldnt have happened without you. Ah, where should I start? Werafillintheblanks and J.C HAHAHAHAH can you guess what that stands for? With you being the only one who knows all my friends in singapore so well, though you've never met some. With you being there with me at vivo on boxing day in 2007. Remember????? I have started smiling to myself. I also remember your dad giving me that "talk". To going through blooody year 12 together and being chem lab partners, always the first to finish our work :) and you stressing me out in maths. To the amazing week where you lived with me for 2 weeks (HAHA :D) To being posted to the same campus/ uni. To our pathetic 15mins on wednesdays :( the thought of it is so depressing HAHA and thinking back, how very pathetic. To commerce ball/science ball ($$$ ka-ching, next year we have to keep to our words). To you being part of the kitchen crew, and I shall crown you.. ok i will come back to that name. To our many sleepovers/exercise regimes/food galore/ano ideas/to your 60 page scrapbook that I love looking at whenever I go to yours and wish I could steal it back/msn and skype chats/our little squeals when (inserts situation here) ;)/ girly secrets. HAHA. Such awesome times and amazing memories. This year especially, I have grown so much closer, and in terms of best, yes you are my bestfriend :) Right now... bob the builder and post man pat operations. Hahaa we have conversations that no one can ever understand, and we are too softhearted i cannot believe we gave our secret that we have kept for oh so long from most people to tomer within a span of 10mins. TEN MINUTES. Took us a few months before people started finding out. Tomer got it out of us in TEN FRIGGIN MINUTES. Yes tomer, if you are reading this, you girl. So much for this being a short thing, I can never complete what I have to tell you in like 50 words. Anyway here's to MAY 2010!!!!! Speaking of which, please never use you know what to blackmail me.. "are you gonna stop talking to me now huh??" HAHAHAHA i dislike you for that. I wish I could erase that whole episode away from this year's memories, but thanks for being such a good friend, for being my bestfriend, for always being there be it in times of friends/family problems/ or just when I need a cry/whinge/laugh/or something to vent my anger to :)
" A bestfriend is a sister destiny forgot to give "
Thank you for such a great yeaaar! Love you more than you love liverpool/torres/rafael xoxoxo

Nachan - the one closest in age to me, 3 years apart. For some reason you seem extra far away this year, i guess cause new school, new friends, and time to try and adapt. And also i came back during your exams so twas so hard to see you. But i miss you! and cannot wait to come back to play again :D and pinch those fair and round cheeks of yours! Love you so much! Hope this year has been one of the better years for you :D
Nic - POOOCHY. I know this year has been extra tough on you, with you just moving back from shanghai, trying to make new friends, having the most annoying sitting partner in the first sem, with PSLE being next year and trying to catch up to the syllabus. Hang in there little one, it'll be over soon, and hopefully, DISNEYLAND NEXT YEAR! :D Love you, you craaazy little thing! Hang in there, Dont give up :)
Kev - SCRAWNEY PRAWNEY! :D you are still as cute as ever, with the sweetest things you say, with the morning wake up calls when you come to my room, with you always there to.. give me a hug/ kiss whenever i need one. I love youuuu :) and 3rd in class! GOOD JOB LITTLE ONE :D :D so proud of you! Hope this year at school has been as amazing as the little you. Love you v much! :D
Mike - My flyyyying baby! You and your chicken dance, together with the things you say, never fail to make me laugh and make the day brighter! With your silly weird habits, like not sharing drinks cause of "saliva germs" and the little tantrum you threw at the park the other time over the bottle of water than nic and i drank, and stinging on the hugs you give (!!!!!) bargaing with me when i ask you for a hug. "No hug" or "Fine, one small hug" hahahaha you're still adorable, and i still love you v much you crazzy little monster! Glad you've made so many friends this year! Love you lots and lots!
SARE BEAR! :) sa-waaaaahhhh! yaaaay you're so close to being in the same country as me! well, not really but close enough to make me excited! :D :D :D we need to go for more 5km runs when i get back! and more frooo yo! and ahhhh we've been friends for about 5 years already :D :D pretty amazing :D i know this year's been a toughie for you, but next year, i promise is going to get so much better!!!!!! hahah at work, you should bond with "the women" so that you'll get to pick up bits and pieces of advice on "how to be a mother" HAHAHAHA :D :D :D so hard being two worlds apart from you, but glad things havent changed that much :D :D and your mom lovessss me! she is my bestfriend :D HAHA i'm kidding! well anyway hope 2010 will be extra special for you! :D and 2011, hope to see you here!!! love lots!!! xxxx
SOPH SOPHHH! my beautiful first found friend at monash! :D :D I know I always tell you this, but I am honestly so lucky to have found you/ what would I do without you/ the kitchen crew wouldnt have been the kitchen crew without you too! I love spending time with you and you willing to listen to anything I say, from singapore stories, to rants about crazy essays and tutors a.k.a tap tap ahem ahem lady (remember? i swear that was all i complained about in semester 1), to boys - bad vibes! remember that at the start of uni? well what can i say, your "bad vibes" turned out partially right! :) and you always the victims of my many many photos, but hey like I always tell everyone, in 50 years time, who will you thank? ME! Rachelllllllll! teeeeeheee, thank you for the daily huggggs, smiles, rambles, everything! just wanted to tell you what an amazing person you are, anyone that has you as a friend is a lucky ducky (me!) teehee, cant wait to get back to see you buddy! love and miss you truckloads and hope you had just as great a year, like i did! LOVE! ♥
HAHAHA like the name? I doubt you'll even come here, but HIIIII :) sorrry i dont have a picture with you so hence this... huge name thing for you, arent you special? :) anyway you're soo busy with army and we dont get to talk much cept for the occasional emails (which often makes me think: ah terence... you are so silly, or say WHAAAT etc etc) haha but i'm glad we still keep in touch through random phonecalls or "where in the world is terence" or "dont worry rache i am still alive" emails! haha hope army's not treating you too badly, and see you in jan when i get back from americccca! :) ps: pity mel and i werent in singapore at the same time :( - my fault else we could have met up/ annoyed and bugged you... like we always do hahahaha
TOMMMMMERRGOTCHI :) this shall be in pinkish purple just cause you're always surrounded by girls/ hopefully with all our hardwork becoming more feminine :) what would i do without you and your laaaaame (but i can walk) jokes! and you always bugging me. still cant believe how you managed to convince mel and i to tell you happenings in our lives that day at frisky's beach within like 15mins! how... is that even possible? hahaha! anyway had a greaaat year with you, and more happy times to come! with your laa-mmmme jokes but thanks for the great times this year, hope you had a good year too! :)
GOODBYE 2009, HELLO 2010
You belong with me was my highlight song of 2009 :) hence the title. Had an AMAZING year, which i'm sure couldnt have been any better, met a couple of the greatest people on earth! and friendships with certain people grew so much stronger. Though there were friendships that were lost in the midst of changes in environment, changes in life, changes in relationship status, changes in schools?, I honestly couldnt have been any happier, so thank you to each and everyone of you who played a part in making this year an absolutely magical journey♥
This is gonna be a long entry, so for those not ready to see wordssssss, you know what to do :) anyway one of the best years of my life. I remember the Psych/Med faculty welcome thing was on my birthday day. First thought, ahh bummer. I'm going to have no friends and gonna have the worst birthday ever :( but made my first two friends whom i'm still extremely good friend with on that day - Soph and Little Mel :) My two all time favourite uni girls :D Randomly bumped into Jeff that very same day just after I had made friends with soph! :) HAHA I remember soph and I making friends with this girl called "Saf" who has now refused to acknoledge us and has changed her name to "Ruth". Ahwells, people come and go right? But still whenever that comes up, it always puts a smile on both our faces!!! :D :D First event/going out thing together commerce ball! Boriss/Matt/PragMan HAHA and la di da soo dodgy. Mel's and my first clubbing experience together then her dad gave me a lift home after. Not long after was arts ballll!!!! APPPPLE! remember? I think everyone does, I was so nervous the whole night all I did was avoid avoid avoid, what i do best, but the picture at the end of the night summed it all up :) Such a goodnight though!!!!! Then was soph's birthday! where we watched angels and demons which made me jump a couple of times in my seat. HAHAH goodtimes. Then melissa's 18th!! Where lise and I had to go all the way to the city to get tiffany's! Science ball, where SO MANY of the kitchen crew people turned up!!! Was so close to a perfect night! :) Music was awesome! and the song that ellie and i requested played! but.. EVACUAATE THE DANCEFLOOR at athie's pres were amazing and when "you belong with me" came on that was pretty epic too! Cant find the video of us dancing to that for some reason, its def somewhere. Finding out about perseverance - friday night 90s night :D Meeting weird random guys there. Then going to the hawthorn more often then.. back to singapore in Sept where i had the best time ever (so much for me telling myself i will spend an hour studying everyday when i was there cause it was so close to exams - so didnt happen). Sleepovers at mel's which involved walks to wilsons and runs at lysterfield. V good and yummy food there.. when her dad is back :) Midnight talks till I fall asleep before she does and she gets pissed :P Kitchen crew outings, Bob the buildddderr can he fix it, and postman pat and his black and white cat (i think its right cbb verifying cause its too late). 30th of nov for mel, I am her walking diary/calender, too awesome. MSN! :) Becoming better friends with others while losing some as the year is so close to coming to an end. Finally, lots of family time with dad in america atm :) Having a ball here, and probs hawaii next year!!!! :) :) :) :) So excited :D Well this short paragraph pretty much summed up my year! So many more secrets which only a few people know that I cant say here.
Thank you to all the people mentioned above and those I have failed to mention due t poor memory, for making a huge difference. This year, one of the best yers of my life, def couldnt have happened without all of you special ones :) Here's to more happy times of us either being bestfriends/goodfriends or dominating the kitchen crew till we leave :) LOTS OF LOVE FROM ME :D :D :D :D
PS: Can you keep a secret? Cause I can :)
But she wears short skirts I wear Tshirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleaches Dreaming bout that day when you wake up and find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time You belong with me
