Ruse09- The death of the scrolling wheel [ie. TLDR post! =D] v1.0

WARNING: 1. VERY LONG post ahead: length: Half the scribblenauts vocab list. [ie. 11k words]

2.How much is relevant to you is no more than 2%....but if you’re bored, be prepared to kill your mouse scroll wheel xP

3. IF you’re a grammar nazi, please don’t proof read this ><, its terribad.

Edit: I just realised, if you're reading this and are a year 12-er before the 21st of Oct; damn, you must be really confident and organised with your studies. Or ridiculously bored.

I've made a post on general memories, but they felt...kinda impersonal?
High school is now officially over...but we'll all still see each other in the hsc, post-hsc parties, formal and hopefully uni =).

Time to talk another trip down memory lane, as I am to put in as many people that have been with me as i can before memory fails me/I realise that I should've been sleeping 27 hours ago =P. But I know it will ultimately be worth it, because all the time spent at ruse with you guys cannot be described by the mere words I'm about to say now. Sorry also if it sounds...cliché and badly worded, i’ve always been bad at saying things like this ><” [rather do things school motto style =P] And...I want to make it clear that this blog post isn’t for some sort of seeking self-praise, rather, it’s something I want to look back on and remember in case [somehow] I forget you guys!

For...tacky privacy reasons, i'll be using initials; and since I want to be as transparent as possible with my past life as possible but if its way too awkward, gimme a shout and i'll get rid of it =). There are probably many who may not end up reading this, but I don't need an excuse to comment and thank the people that have made my ruse life so memorable. For alot I can't remember the EXACT first memory...just the most early prominant one =)

To the first person:

What can I say? You’ve been with me right from the very start. I don’t think there was ever a time you weren’t by my side, even if I ignored you for the majority of my life. Nevertheless, it was in ruse year 9 that I first truly got to know you; up till then, I guess I’ve barred you and...to an extent, despised you. But I thank you so much for forgiving me of all that, and for being THE one who has changed my life and saved me these past few years. Thank you for being my rock, my shepherd, my shelter in all those dark days, for being an more than just a friend in the light days, for always being there for me.

Well, I see you as my rescuer, hero and more importantly, my savior. All my time at Ruse, all that i’ve “done”, it’s all thanks to you. I’m so glad you’ve been in my life, and also for those that have come to know you as well. Nothing I have done would’ve been possible without you, and I hope you’ll continue to remind me that day after day. As uni approaches and the uncertainties of life come, please stay close as you have with all of us and guide us because we really, I don’t know how I’d face uni without you =\.

To the people who I know are bloggers [in user/blogname alphabetical order]

Akatsuki-san: aka T.D
My first memory of you...well, I remember thinking how you had such a "special" surname xP Being HTL's mutual friend; I guess thats how we got to know each other...oh and the fact that you would've jabbed us everytime we poked fun at you [i guess somethings never change? xP] Also remember the SUPER SPEECH you gave in year 8 english; and how you spagged alot in that process =P. 4 years in the same roll class! It's been an honour =) Then all the other fun times; joining cadets in year 10!, and helping me out so much in history/geo/commerce. Oh, not to mention informing me about the latest bleach updates; choral concert as a bassist and being an awesome fellow hockey player xD

If I could describe you in 1-2 words that sums up the most significant part of our friendship; it would be "realistic advisor". Thank you for being so patient with the 'hollow' parts of my life, and seeing me through those times with common sense [whoa! common sense from a cadet! =O]. I've come to respect you over these past 6 years, that even though you might seem..."aggro" on the outside? You’ve become one of my most treasured and trusted friends, you really are someone whos supportive and kind, just hope you let that part shine more when you enter uni xD. Oh, and thanks for getting me hooked onto bleach ;). Hope you'll own at uni [and hopefully its the course, not the people =) ] and that you'll be my lawyer if i ever screw up or something =P.

Ambientchoes: aka. T.P
Even though you’re not a rusian, you’re still a blogger =PI've only known you since mid-year 10 on the train trips back from redfern. [Hooray for mutual friend connections! xP] It's only a shame the days we travelled home together as a group were limited, but for the times we were, they were awesome xD. It first started off with just me, joseph and you; but then the groups expanded since then, and exponentially more epic. =P. What was it bryan called you...the granny?...and I maintain that the pic he drew of you looks like quistis in ff8 xD. It was great to see you come to RICE as well, hope you'll continue searching and asking questions =)

Thank you for all the fun memories [mainly from osborn/bryan =P] we've shared on the train together, and also being someone who shares the final fantasy passion! xD. [Thank you for giving me ff8 and 9 as well :D] I see you as the 'motivated studious' type; no matter how much you say you procrastinate; you probably would've done really well in ruse =). Even so, you've been really kind, and its really encouraging to see you smile even if things might not be in the best of circumstances, hope things get resolved in one way or another, and don't over-work yourself in the hsc; I can guarantee you'l definitely get in!

Andi♥ aka A.D
I remember you being in my ag/dt/va class back in year 7-8, but never really knew you til year 8 xD. I think the first time I met you was in VA class, since the "guy-side" of the table was taken up in VA, jason and I and to sit on the "girl side" [Anyone who comments about this= PAIN xD]. Remember your artistic skills...and most prominantly the fact jason accidentally gave you a black eye.

It's a shame i've only gotten to know you through the train travels in year 11-12 on wednesday arvos, but if I were to describe you in a few words; it would be "quiet? yet very caring" You've always shown a concern for your friends whenever something arises, and that you've always made the train trips fun and interesting xD. Good luck in whatever you do in uni! I'm sure as "southie" homies we'll catch up with our group often xD.

BK201: aka R.C.
I think it was near the end year 10? The fact that you were friends with Jason and Mawson...and then I kinda got to know you through that link. I'll be honest and say I didn't even know there was a Rex until then >.<' Well, I only wish could've spent more time knowing you; but I'll most definitely remember you for putting so much effort into organising for our epic jerseys =D. [Without them, thats one less ruse memory =)] Oh, and let’s not forget jungle speed and epic wrestling/nail polish all the way to midnight xD

Although I’ve only truly gotten to know you in this past year and a bit, I value the friendship we’ve shared. I most see you as the organised, a fast learner, calm trustworthy type, and that you'll continue to be so when you go into uni as a future doctor =)

Darthgaylard: aka CounterTerrorist [C.T]
The most distinct memory I have of you is our epic PE video! Followed by the fact you never let me live down the "3i" moment in maths xD. Though I think I first met you when we were in some gymnastics excursion thing? We sat in the same area, and you, me and myself [ie. Alan] just talked for ages...and I guess that just kicked off what is known as our fun fun friendship today =D Thanks for being a friend all those times in years 7-10 [same class for 4 years! *whoosh*] that were just full of awesomenessand games and jokes =) Not to mention the countless memories we’ll share regarding cadet bivs, choral concert and ‘manly gettogethers’ Oh, and for also overloading my msn-log archives that have stemmed from our convoes =D.[I think i'm onto the...15th one?]

Words fail me in describing you; though I'll settle with a womanly man [jk jk xP.] a reliable, talkative friend thats always up for a chat, not to mention one that is able to help sharpen my lameness [and subseuqently my reflex and punching motions]. Homeying with you in jazz as a fellow man was just as great =D Guess theres somethings i forgot to write in your "buk", ya? =P. While you're the trustworthy and selfless friend, you're still quite "hardcore", so to speak; and well...i'm sure you'll fit into uni perfectly as you major in forensic science =D

Detailsinthefabricx: aka S.L
Another person in my class for all the first 4 years of ruse! xD I remember the broncos-dragons rivalry that we had waaaaaaaay back in VA in year 8...heh. [We'll be back next year =p.] Well, time to be completely transparent here, and I look back at this point in year 8 with alot of laughter at my own foolishness, but you might? You might've noticed that I liked you for a while back then. Not that theres anything wrong with you, it was just the fact I was...so immature and stupid back then xD. But even from that experience, there are many things i've gained from that, to which I immensely thank you for =)

Hmm..."punny pundit" is probably the first thing that comes to mind if hear your name =P. Thanks for livening up the bio classroom with your witty comments, and for all the classes way back in 9 & 10 as well xD. I think you're doing med, right? Well, if so; you'd make a very good Dr. House in the future, minus the cynicism :)


Lulu: aka. L.T.
To be honest, I can't remember the exact first time i've met you ><. Though I'm certain it was on the train; since you went one stop further than the rest of the stratty crew =P. Also; for such a relatively common name [I've always thought =\] it's the first time i've ever knew someone whos called lulu xD.

It's been fun talking to you on the train, groups; the more the merrier xD Too bad i've never been in any of your classes, but for all it's worth; you're the open type that likes to talk, and I always see you smiling; keep on doing so in uni as well, with everyone you meet! XD

Materix01 aka A.N J.R [ahs xP]
I remember the sheer number of people that got us mixed up [and still do] back then =P. I think I first met you in Maitra's science class in year 7, since there was insufficient space on your old table, you moved onto ours! And so began the whirlwind adventure of "who is responsible for screwing up our science pracs"? plus the "disintergrating paper ball" incident..and countless people [incl. Mr goggin] getting us mixed up =P Also distinctly remember you and htl ramming into each other [I guess out of manliness? =P] and you ended up giving htl a cut on the nose. Scripture in y7-8 and ISCF leaders with you too! Thanks for those movie outings + singstar at my house... and doing bio together in year 11, good times =P. Oh right, and also, sorry for being partially responsible in the cutting of your allowance in half back in..year 9. I guess I owe you....nearly $10K for that after 4 years? xP

Well, I would describe you as "P.K" as from year 7 [remember the various things they stood for? like..."Posh Kid" ] But that would be pointless, I'll most definitely remember you as someone who changed my life in year 9; one who pointed to my lifesaver =). You've really been like an “older brother”, and you've changed so much over the past 6 years; e.g. you've stopped randomly stealing/returning my stuff in class! xP. But yeah, best of luck in all you do in uni; hope you'll become an awesome people/animal doctor =)

Mishmashmosh; aka B.C
Same year 9-10T class! The first memory I can think of is probably the fact you were at the top of the roll-call list, and how the first name called is..symbolic? of the beginning of another fun fun day at cadets happy school =). That, or the fact you moved next door to mawson xP I don't have...a specific recollection of when we first met, sorry ><". Though that doesn't matter, since you've been such a great friend these past 4 years. Epic times include all the bivs and parades in cadets, chatting up with you and ngghman on msn, and how you over-reacted to my "bloody funny incident: [MSN quote] "OMGOMGOMG are you OK? +___+;; i cant believe you were laughing. STUPIDSTUPID BOY" xD, come on, no-one should be all serious over it if the victim was laughing and all cheery himself =).

Thank YOU for being a nice friend, I'll remember you as the "caring soul", for reasons above, and also forcing me to sleep earlier on msn [so much for "lead by example", eh? =P]. Also, glad to see you've gotten over you "hahaha lol" phase on msn...I think. The fact you're so caring and open to everyone is what makes you such a fantastic person to know, and I'm sure you'll continue on doing so when you enter uni :).

Moocho: aka A.H
I think the first ever memory I have of you was when mawson and I were playing minesweeper flags on msn *checks rankings* HOLY CRAP LOOK AT ADITIS SCORE! O_o. The first time i've met you in year 10...was it on msn? or in person...I think it was the brotherly link I had with Jason, and it was then I was "adopted"? by you...wait, am i adopted?! :S or your son xD. Nevertheless, it has been so great getting to know you as a friend; thank you for all the [stoned] memories we've shared; the fun times playing pictionary/hat game in bio [and the help you've given too xD], being part of the awesome family, livening up the chem lessons, being a travel buddy with shiva during musical days/ year 10...and actually managing to finish some of your meals in our group outings! =O Oh, and in the more immediate past, thank you for being bored enough to tag my photos [and subsequently getting me 80+ new emails in the space of 3 minutes] xP

You've been such a trusted friend, thank you for being there in my masked times, and being able to calm me down =). The one word to describe you would be a "mother". Ok, if you were my real mother, that would be CREEPY. [I'll look past your pedo-isms for hitsugaya =P], but nevertheless, LIKE a mother[emphasis on LIKE, in case you're stoned =P] you've looked out for me, not to mention been a patient rant buddy =). Thank you for organising so many things as well [like jap trip for example! looking forward to that xD], and who knows; one day you'll be an awesome doctor ^^


Mysterious Stranger: aka. myself A.L.
First of all. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!. SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP. OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH SWING LOOOOW!
Ok, I'll stop xD. Since you were homeying with topher, meeting you was the same way as him in year 7 xP. Remember how, through total random chance, we ended up in the same cancer group with topher for our assignment xD. You weren't in my elective classes, so not much of a mix-up back then =P. Though yeah, we've shared alot of memories together; running from HTL/Tim after calling them a lozenge/ "the umm...STEEELY", the PE vid, chandra jokes, homeying in commerce in year 9-10, not to mention Jazz ensemble as well xD. Oh! and how could I forget all those memories being in recorder for 5 years, and all the "bag tricks" we've demonstrated on you ;)

Well....you're my cousin, so we're clones in more ways than one. xD. I see you as a “light-hearted media journalist” i.e. someone who blows our minor mistakes into epic proportions. But of course, I take it with good faith, since i know you’re jedi-knighting. I see you as someone who might crack jokes alot [and esp. ones that you'll never make me live down =P], but ultimately, you're a good friend whos reliable, trustworthy and always fun to be around. Oh, and you make the most epic of reactions whenever you get pranked =P. Hope we'll study at the same uni! Just so we can answer on behalf of each other in id checks/roll calls [if theres such thing].

Shivalrous: aka. S.S.
Its the TripleS! It was either late year 7 or early year 8 that I started getting to know you, but only as a fellow epping train-er back in those days xD. I can't remember much from back then, though I was rather slack to you back then ><. I've only truly gotten to know you in year 9 commerce [yay! Ms. connors was an epic teacher =D] with our "politician dream job" presentation [lol? me? politics?...good times xD]; as well as the mock-court case thing xD. I still remember all those good times in year 9 and 10 when we caught the train home in the winter cold and sharing chips from the epping seafood place =). Not to mention all outings as well at burwood and the city. I definitely look up to you as someone whos an 'all-rounder', to be ownage at so many things; ie. Maths, Chem, Phys AND Bio olympiad; as well as first place in progcomp AND still having a life with drama production, sport and being generally open [as opposed to the introverted "stereotypical ruse nerd". Thank you for keeping me company in all those train trips back in junior years, as well as helping me see issues and topics from different perspectives xD. Your depth in knowledge balenced with your openness will hopefully make you an awesome doctor in the future- maybe we'll be working together? =P
Quentin: aka. Q.W
I think it was in year 9-10 Rec. sport that I first met you? Hooray for school sport and all its mckenzie-glory, and the power of getting to know other people that are friends with your friends in a group =]. I remember all the times we’ve spent in the group talking, and listening to your diverse range of K-pop/ J-pop musics while we walked during sport =). Also, thanks for all the sound and lighting things you’ve done in the past, for ISCF as well! Don’t know where we’d be back then without you xD

Other than commerce in year 10, I’ve never been in any of your classes D: I’d probably associate “Asian music fan” to you, in a loose way =P. But for all the times i’ve gotten to know you, for all the MSN convoes, for being so supportive of me in my dark times back in the junior years, I thank you so much for that. I’m just sorry we really haven’t talked much in the recent times, but I still think you have a unique personality, and hope we’ll keep in touch after Ruse, probably at something like K =D

Shegod: aka A.W
I distinctly remember you as one of them “new people” back in year 9 [I remember we had quite a few in our class; that was pretty cool =P]. And the fact that I practically sat next to you [Yay for alphabetised roll call + sally being late alot, lols xD] meant I probably got to know you through all those mornings. Can’t really remember much else, other than being “at the top” [not in height xP] of the ‘family’ tree =P, and being in the Maths U [Hooray ms Briggs! :D]...and for the msn convos. Sorry for the collateral damage last year >_>

Hmmm...well, you’ve always been fun to talk to on MSN, and believe me, you don’t complain that much/ sound like a complete brat, as you say; everyone has their troubles, right? :D. I’ll see you as the ‘pretty little alice, now with green and black hair” [sorry xP] someone who’s been fun to listen to, hope everything turns out ok with your parents; after all, you’re all set with your cadetship xD. Good luck in uni as you go about acing comm. =).

Spik3balloon: aka J.W [wow, a string of Ws!]
Well...first of all, thank you for being such a strong, patient friend and brother these past 13 years, and that we’ll still stay as close as we are now in the many years to come =D. I still remember the first day of Ruse, how we planned to meet up at the bus stop when we were [supposed to be] dismissed 10 minutes early. As luck would have it, I had Mr. Woodhouse, who decided to keep us til like...3, which you called at that point. Hooray subsequent awkwardness! xP. Good times. You’ve made my life at ruse so memorable, for all the “delayed north Sydney” pains we’ve shared, the “Cabramatta” adventure xD, all the cds/games/animes you’ve lent me, the BTL project [whee, front page on newspapers! :D] and for keeping me company on a daily 2 hour journey that would’ve been boring without you [oh dear, that was grammar fail..., dunno how else i’d word it =S]. Although I dropped out, both of us went to programming club in year 7 too, and you’ve always been my technological informant, and It’s always been fun coming to your house playing the wide variety of games you had xD.

Well, since primary, I’ve always looked up to you as someone who’s been loyal, trustworthy, and if its one person who’s not my real family that’s been with me through my ups, downs and moments of total stupidity, if would be you, and I’m really thankful for that. If not anyone else, the level of closeness and trust I have with you; even though I might not have been talking with you as much as in the past, would be like a family member anyway. I thank God that you’ve been encouraging as a brother of Christ as well, and I hope you’ll continue to grow and be enthusiastic in serving Him in the many days, weeks, months years to come! Hope you’ll be just as cool when you enter uni, and I know we’ll be in touch, after all, we’re southie homies! =D

Supercrunchy: aka S.C
Well, I’ve come to know you through ISCF leaders and Focus just these past 2 or so years...and I guess it was through that in which I’ve come to slowly know you. I’ve never been in ANY of your classes D:...But I’ll remember you as someone who’s always been sporty, and...”a baller?” in the skilful good way, of course =). And also for putting up the thought-provoking posts on your blog that’s been really encouraging to read and drumming in the church services.

You seem like the really sociable and kind person, and I thank God very muchly for you being a fellow brother in Christ in focus this past year and a bit; that we’re able to get discussions going and share our struggles. Hope you’ll continue boasting in the cross as you enter uni, and, if the Lord be willing, he’ll continue to open up many more opportunities for you to spread the love [like vegemite! Htl’s talk xP] as you become a future doctor =D

Trogget: aka J.H
Even though you’ve told me we first met in recorder back in year 8, I have absolutely no recollection of it whatsoever =\, and the fact that the 05 yearbook has no group photos doesn’t help ><”. So, from my conflicting perspective, I first distinctly remember you from post-RICE 2006, when we talked about it afterwards. While I was “Christian” in the facade sense, that night was really the turning point in my whole life; and I thank you for following up on me. [Well, thank Christ 100%, but you still get 0% ^^] You’ve been in pretty much every co-curricular activity I do! :O and you’re quite the good ball-room dancer as well xP. Thanks for all the memories we’ve shared in *breathes in* ISCF leaders, focus joint party planning, jiffy, choral concerts, prayer breakfasts, year 10 formal, cadets, chem olympiad, *struggles for breath* maths tutoring, uno, junglespeed, playing together on Dota... *blogger has pawned Z-hang’s head for 295 gold!*

*60 seconds pass*There are so many ways I could describe you, but ultimately it all boils down into the fact I consider you as my sister [definitely spiritually, almost literally =P]. I’m really glad to have gotten to know you and I thank Christ for working through you, for being such a great source of encouragement and support throughout the past 4 years. Thank you for being someone I look up to in a Christ-centred living attitude; it’s really changed me from the inside out. You’ve been so kind-hearted and patient with me [esp. For all the time i’ve been cannon fodder to the enemy, and all the times i’ve stumbled in life], and being someone I could rely on, and for keeping me accountable =) I know you’ll continue to let Christ’s love shine in uni and when you become a doctor/physiotherapist =D and all the best in quitting dota xD

Okay! So those are the Bloggers/wordpressers/others aside, now for the others in R09 I owe a massive thanks to. [initials, alphabhetically- happy scrolling/searching!]

G.F.
It’s been only through ISCF leaders that I’ve gotten to know you, as well as through JIFFY back in year 10...I don’t think I remember anything before that. And although I’ve never hung out with you at lunchtimes and recesses, I’ll remember you for helping me lead focus back in year 10 and 11, you were the “cool person” that helped keep things under control, as well as being an awesome school vice-captain xD. Oh, you’re also someone else I know who plays kingdom hearts! =D

I see you as the “calm yet cool” type of person, and always ready to serve Christ =). Thanks for being so generous, letting me borrow jungle speed these past few days xD as well as being someone whos been encouraging at leaders meetings as we share stuff in the bible studies =) Good luck as you study physio at usyd! Who knows, we may be studying together next year =D
T.F
I guess I knew you through association with Chris and Alan back in year 7...and like htl, was the butt of many jokes back then from the aforementioned two. I remember how you had a distinct, significantly lower voice than everyone else in our roll class back then too xD. It’s been great getting to truly know you in the past two years, particularly in bio, putting up with the stupid antics Alan and Alan have been doing [yes, myself and myself =P], and...I guess playing comic foil to them? xD. Not to mention the epic trebuchet you guys made at the sci-engineering comp.

I see you as the “composed, mature” person, yet has a sense of humour and awesome skills in engineering/physics. Thanks for all the times you’ve shared with me the funny stuff on your laptop, as well as the epic story of your older brother and the “adoption” thing =P. Though we live far, hopefully we’ll see each other in our group get-togethers xD.

L.G.
I remember meeting you back in year 7, as a fellow recorder homie! My first prominent memory would probably have to be when you told me you liked tina back then =P [I know that was waaaaaaaay long ago, and definitely not true now, so no harm here, i hope]. And also being someone who had jap connections, yet spoke mando =O. Though...I never really got to know you during the early junior years after, since you ditched us for woodwind =(. Nevertheless, there are still many many memories to share from late year 9 onwards; ISCF leaders, jiffy, focus with JX and JT in year 10-11, leading a group of piranhas [I’m kidding! You guys have really matured, if you’re reading this =P] focus together this year, as well as for the times we’ve talked on the bus trips in the arvo, the countless D&Ms we’ve had, cadet biv moments, first aid [people doctor! :D], the random stoned moments [8 x 15=....110? L. Syndrome!], RICE creative + winners of the amazing grace last year and for all those times in maple as well xD.

Well, after so many things we’ve had EXACTLY the same e.g. EXACT same report in year 11 [for the subjects we did], wearing the EXACT shirt on mufti day, I think its only fair to think of you as my brother, in short =). In long, I see us like Paul and Silas, or Paul and Timothy, or David and Jonathan in the Bible [Whos who, thats up to you =P]. You’ve been such a brother in Christ to me, and helped me mature as one in the past 2-3 years so much, particularly as a leader as well. Not to mention, you’ve also corrected, rebuked and encouraged me so much, as well as kept me accountable. Hope you’ll continue to do with everyone you meet as we enter uni, and that you’ll be an awesome yg leader/ doctor. All for the His glory, right? =)

T.G.
I never really knew you in the early years, other than the fact Lee liked you back in year 7, and you did recorder as well? Otherwise, fastforward to year 10, and I got to know you as “the grandmother” of the family [yay family!]. Thanks for all the times in maths; team square! xP, also for all the stupid funny quotes we four shared [though mainly from Jessie and mawson xP], your arm art, and the fact you always came into class late xP, and also in our frees; which are like an extension of our maths lessons =P. Actually, now that I think about it, I only know you through things maths related...oh well, I guess thats what differentiates you from everyone else *runs away*

Well, you’re no doubt an ‘extremely happy person, to the point of highness’. Actually, you probably are high half the time :P. Thank you for being an awesome friend that always livens up the maths classrooms and frees, as well as for all the med-related/future discussions that you’ve shared within our group. You’ve always been so academically talented even if you don’t openly show it, and your general highness will cheer up even the depressed of patients as your become a doctor =)

E.H
You’ve been in my DT, VA and Ag class right from the very beginning =D. Although I don’t remember much than that knowing you as “Jason’s friend”, and being knowledgeable in the internet/game memes [and you still do xD]. I’ve enjoyed the “all-nighter in gaming” at your place [even though you’ll probably remember me for having a unique definition of “all nighter” =P], and really grateful for the fact you bought the orange box for me. [Ok..maybe? not thankful in the current context of hsc, but mucho gracias afterwards ^^]. Not to mention epic battles in jungle speed; I sees you put much of your stat points into str =P.

I have no idea whether you’re going to read this or not, but you’ve someone I could trust; and I’ll remember you as another gamer person, whos just as awesome at games as he is being a friend and even though I barely ever talk to you, I wish could’ve gotten to know you better. Your family has an awesome restaurant, btw xD.

K.H.
Potassium Hydroxide!....well, close enough to what I call you anyway =P. You were in my drama class back in year 9, with the awesome Mrs. Bal! Sorry for that incident back then as well >< year ="(.">=(. [Oh, all-nighters are still “me falling asleep at 1 and waking up at 7” for me, in case you were wondering =P]

Well, you’ve always been the “gamer” person to me and living proof that gamers can still have lives, still be academic, and can still be awesome friends with everyone else xD. Thank you for being so forgiving back in year 9, and being another brother that’s been encouraging these past 2 years. Sorry? If i’ve crippled you in the process as well; not sure if its infectious; test it out with Koch’s posulate? =P. Nevertheless, you’ve put up with all my lameness, and have always been patient; and always encouraging to hear you at HSCF as well, whatever you do in uni; doctoring, optoming, I know you’ll be fine =).

X.H
Hey! THE GAME! Assuming you are still reading this and not focusing your scope at my head from the hill 500 metres away/facepalming, I don’t remember much of you until year 11 chem =P. Remember all the times we’ve stuff up our in class chem pracs, yet still manage to fudge “plausible results”? Not to mention Mrs. Bals English; you made a pretty good Rev. Parris, if not one who spoke fast xD. Probably also remember you for being one thats like Cs in H₂O with my lame jokes...eh, at least I’ve developed a reflex action to punches now xP. And also for being “the uncle” in the family =p.

Well, thanks to you, the first thing I associate when I hear “lucario” or “lucario sweep” will definitely be you. Thanks for helping me/the rest of the table out with chem and English! And grats on your beastly umat score; hope you’ll become a fantastic doctor in the future...though cut down on the language a bit, yeah? And....try not to slam the table when you laugh too much; especially if you’re in the middle of performing a surgery xD. And of course, we’ll keep in touch, cos *breaks into song* We’re all in thiiiiiiis together, once we know that we are, we’re all stars and we see tha- BOOM. *thud*
J.J
You were in my maths class in year 10, and you sat behind htl and I. And you were also in my music class too! I remember you for your epic piano skills, and for accomplishing the unthinkable in year 10; beating MAWSON in a MATHS EXAM =O. And from maths Underdog as well =P. And then theres the senior years! Team square! :D [Who came up with that name again?...was it you? xD], and the countless quotes to share from maths tutoring and class [like...parts? and...easy? xP].

First thing that comes to mind when I hear your name: TEAM ROCK-IT! Oh man that was terribad...but yes even your initials are indicative of that =P Although I only see you in Maths and Chem, thank you firstly, for recommending us to the maths tutor we have now,; dunno where we’d be without it =D [doing only 3U maths! *gasp**shock**horror* - Sorry to all those if it felt tactless]. You’ve also been a very caring friend as well, especially in that...’bad day’ i had back in year 11, and for that I thank you. You’re going to be a fine doctor, just don’t ever spontaneously gee dance while on duty xP.

R.K
Where was it, in the Stran? NO NO NO BAD JAMES. Anyway, you’re someone whos been in my class from waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in year 7 xD *hi fives* Though I don’t remember anything of you other than that back then...=\. Ditto with year 8, other than you being one of Chandra’s “prized” students =P. It was either in year 9 or year 10 rec sport i vaguely got to know you? But I’ll remember you getting me hooked into isketch, and being a catalyst for ‘creative impro’ in pictionary and hat game xD in year 11 English =P. Not to mention being a lame-joker, and getting me hooked onto “Big bang theory” [And anyone reading this hasn’t watched it; GO WATCH IT! It’s so funny; even more so since you’ll actually get it =P], and psychiatrist in English xP.

Well, I see you as someone whos a “creative genius”, seen by vis reps + your overall modesty whenever you cane the rest of us in exams xP. Thank you so much for being a person who’s been a kind and supportive this past year [a rock? As you put it =P...just make sure you don’t come across any papers...oh wait, hsc ...] and I’m so glad everything’s worked out for you in the end =). Hope you’ll continue to be high-larious, wish you all the best in the future, doing law, comm/sci ^^

B.L
You were in my class in year 7 as well =p. Mullavey! xD, except I’ve never gotten to know you for like...the first 4 years =\ You’ve never slapped me before and you yourself said “I was too nice to deserve it”. That just obviously means you have no recollection of year 7; I can’t remember much, but can only remember I was pretty nasty and mean back then [to everyone] and thought you were the “biatchy” type...so sorry for that ><. But I guess times have changed; thanks for all the times in bio! Although it was initially rather awkward being the only guy on the table [since all the guys tables got filled up >_>], I’ve gotten to know you and everyone else on the table, and thanks for all the Pictionary/hat game times =P. Not to mention the stuff you bake is really nice, thanks for sharing them in our maths ‘parties’ =D

Well, I see you as someone whos internally patient and helpful, even if you do ‘rage’ alot xD Except its more amusing than scary [as you yourself admit]. Thanks for being patient whenever I asked for your maths/bio help when...*some* people weren’t available [who’s better? You two can fight it out =P], and for all the fun times in our frees =D. As much as i joke about you in potential particular situations, I know you’ll definitely make an awesome doctor J

HTL
Again, you’re someone I’ve known since primary; and I’m lucky to have been in your class from the very start xD [7L!] First memory back then...well, you hung around with tim alot, and subsequently had a short temper with Alan and Chris everytime they poked fun at either of you two =P. Also remember when you moved to protestant scripture from catholic scripture [And the subsequent rage/traitor-calling from tim =P]. We have many a memory to share; like choral concert in year 10, cadets [epic hootchies!], being fully-sick brahs [we are, after all, in that area =P], ISCF leaders, FOCUS [time makes enemies of us all, eh?], playing tip in the junior years, becoming a “brother” in our whacked up family, the musical modifications and also the fun bday parties at homebush :D. Oh, and who can forget the fact that you’re responsible for breaking both my legs? [not literally, of course] =P

I see you as the “imaginative warrior”, since I’ve always been amazed at your resilience and how you’re able to take everything so stoically [ie. Being the butt of many jokes from a few] and still be smiling and cheery, and still strong and ready to “fight” alongside each other in our “wars” =). Your creativity always astounds me [in recent times; the God’s love pic! :D] and all those song-moddings and stories you’ve sent around to us xD. More importantly you’ve been a strong pillar of support for me and a brother in Christ for me in the recent years, and your attitude to things in life is something I strive to aim for. Another person I hope we’ll be medding together in future [oh dear, all my friends are med people!], and there’ll be much homeying about in the future, since we live so close =P

M.L. [bfg]
One more person who was in my classes right from the very start! Who was it that called you bfg? You were significantly taller than the rest of us back then =P I’ll never forget all the fun times we’ve had doing music related things; like the pop music assignment, year 10 music...and the year 10 “ag concert”...Well, it was definitely fun practicing, minus some questionable songs...=P. You’re also very ticklish, I remember that if tim poked you, you would just collapse onto the floor...and ditto if we ran a finger/pen/stick down your spine =P. I remember you playing tip with us in 8-9 as well, and how you outran most of us xD. Thanks for the encouragement you’ve shared during HSCF and focus, not to mention being the beastly pro at hockey, guitaring for church services and the memories shared cracking jokes with tim and chris in year 9 and 10. Oh! And for nearly exploding my head when you told me you played dota =O

I used to think you were a quiet person back in year 7; and I guess some things haven’t changed over the course of these 6 years =P. Nevertheless, you’ve been rather open to me and i’m honoured to have been your friend, and you probably uphold the james ruse motto of “gesta non verba” Although i’ve been rather slack to you with the jokes and stuff, you’ve always taken things with good spirit, and for that I thank you. Hope we’ll keep in touch after the hsc, whether it be youth group surfing or crashing james xu’s house, we’ll see xD

C.L.

I was looking through the year book, and *shock**horror* you weren’t in recorder photo in year 7! =O Or were you and you missed the photos? =S. Hmm...anyway, I think I first got to know you in year 9 as the ‘freaky recorder player’ [and you still are], and someone in my class from year 9-10 [Hooray for rushing into rollcall because Mr Best went over time again!]. You’ve made year 10-11 music class memorable, as well as putting up with my lame/terribad jokes then too xD. Then there are also the countless music nights as well, for choir, jazz, recorder, music class group...yeah, alot of musiccy stuff =P.

You’re a “musical genius”, full stop. [Well, academic as well but...] To be able to play...both alto and sop recorder, guitar, harp, piano, violin, sing really well, [and probably flute and clarinet as well O_o], all on an extremely competent virtuosic level...need I say more? =P Thank you for being such a music inspiration, and also helping me out in many many performances in the pre ‘drop music’ days. You’ve made music light-hearted and also the forgotten aunt in the whole “family”, aren’t you? =) Anyway, keep up with the musical talent in uni, and good luck =D.

M.L.

Did I meet you very briefly at the Sydney Grammar test back in year 6? If not, then I probably first met you on the train, as a southie-homie, you were rather talkative, open with your opinion, said ‘shut up’ alot, and played comic foil to Benny xD. Oh, and you’re a dragons supporter too! =D. *hi fivez*. I don’t particularly remember too much after that, since you dogged us for a closer home in rosehill xP, but I still remember the occasional train trip from carlo home with you and tim, and for being an awesome flag party leader =) [Honestly, theres no way the rest of us are able to accomplish such a responsibility, and you didn’t “screw up” compared to the rest of us *nods*] Not to mention the memories from bivs and annual 07 :D

I’ve always seen you as someone whos “epically goofy”, since you’re always there to put laughter/ a smile on my face in cadets with your silliness, but you can be just as serious when its needed as well. Nevertheless, thank you for brightening up the place whenever you’re around, there’s still many things I don’t know about you, but hopefully uni will open up those opportunities. And if not, I’ll still see you as someone whos awesome xD

R.M.
I remember you being the “mert” replacement, since he left back at the end of year 7, and so you came into our class! :D. I especially remember the time Chandra handa lectured us on “how to write an email” after critiqueing the email you send to him [ MCH: You do not write EXCUSE ME! Instead, you must write DEAR MR CHADNRA HANDA]. I remember you sat behind me in English, and how all of us sat in fear of his..err...awesomeness/ fiery passion? =P. I truly got to know you through jiffy and in year 10 music [woohoo! We both dropped something to go there =P], and that you were the co-founder of us ruse forums; where would we be without you? And the time in maths: “No one knows the answer? Let’s ask the top student in the class!” You: awww...but I’m playing tetris! D:. And then she confiscated it xD. OH! Not to mention the fact you took care of the private maple server last year. [YES I KNOW I’M SAD, BUT IT WAS A PRIVATE SERVER! D:], fun fun times xD, Thanks for organising the iscf ctf this year and being our focus leader [make your own focus study week! :D]

Hmm...if could describe you in a few words, it would be that loves to “permanently borrow food”. Alternatively, someone who co-ordinate covalently bonds xD. HOWEVER, the bonds you’ve shared with me and everyone else is far stronger than that, and your love for Christ far overshadows it as well =P. I know you’ll be an awesome maths teacher in the future like the Big Briggs and you-know-woo. [Oh wow, a friend whos not medding! =O xD] Stay strong in Christ, and who knows, you might be teaching the children of ruse09 people in the future xP

L.S.
Well, I remember knowing you were a new student in year 9, and you were in my year 10 commerce class, and Ms. Brigg’s awesome maths class too! =D...but I guess I first distinctly remember you in Year 11 Bio, being on the same kindergarten-style tables back then =). It’s been really fun during those lessons, and I’ve always looked forward to bio back then, since it meant another round of hatgame/ Pictionary xD. It was also fun talking [whenever bal wasn’t around] and playing games in English as well =P. Thanks for all the times we’ve talked on msn and email as well!

Well, if I may be forgiven in saying so, i see you as someone whos “fully sick”; 10% because of the fact you’re not around at school due to sickness [though I hope your immune system will be way more awesome as time progresses =D], but 90% because of your jokes, your friendliness and general coolness xD. [I hope i won’t get killed for tactlessness or lameness...heh]. But yes, thank you for being someone who could listen and support me as well, and we absolutely must continue to stay in touch [isketch! :D]

D.T
I’m not sure if you’ll be reading this but I remember you being the WO in happy cadets, and it’s probably there that i’ve gotten to know you. I really gotten to know you at 07 annual, since we were in the same section, and how we shared interesting conversations and epic games of mao. Also remember how trees have made themselves an enemy of you with your laggy camera at a biv as well xD. Let’s not forget SLP, being the leader of our project and how we had a photoshoot with Mike Richardson, and going together in the “interview” for the BHS council award thing xD. Oh, for also setting up the epic i.room =P

Hmm, I see you as a “natural leader”, since you’re always doing leadership things whenever I hang out with you. Not to mention an informatics pro as well =P. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me in my own walk with leadership things, and making all the things we’ve shared so fun xD. Your assertion and generally amiability will definitely carry forward as you study med. Oh, and hopefully someone will nugget your bag in uni xD

M.W.
We go waaaaaaaaay back to Mr Ye days, so we’ve already known each other as we stepped into the 7L roll call room on our first day [L1.4 =P]. I remember that day; we heard Xi-May wasn’t coming, and we had the same fear in our thoughts: “omg! We’ll so kill ourselves if beidi is our replacement! D:” [Note: please forgive us if you’re reading this beidi!, we were immature back then, and we lived in fear of our...past experiences. We know you’re awesome now ^^]. Fast forward a few days: *Please welcome our new classmate, beidi!* you and I: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! *dies*. I still lol now when I look back at that =P. I still have the “year 7 memories book” we made, remind me to show it to you the next time we meet xD. Remember how we went on emailcash back in year 7? And Paidposting tools? Hooray shang-cheapness =P. Thanks for all the times we spent in knitting in 7-8, rural youth, science in year 7, SLP [build the line! Hehe xP], cadets, all the times we tried to “waste the other person’s calculator batteries” in chem. Olympiad, teaching me 80 points with materix01, minesweeper on msn [remember the 26-0 loss you faced once?], family moments, “hall of shame list” in year 11, team square and for countless other memories that should deserve a dedicated blog post, because theres so many! =O

Well, a few words can’t do justice in how I can describe you. You’ve been in *insert what atar you’re going to get*% of all that i’ve participated in my ruse life, and you’ve been one of my closest friends in the full 6 years here =). Thank you for being so patient whenever I asked for your help in any subject, and for all the fun fun convoes we’ve had both in real life and on msn. No doubt we’ll be keeping in touch after ruse, though hopefully we’ll be in the same uni and working together in the future :D.

S.W.

Sorry...my memory fails me here ><” I don’t remember anything from year 10, other than you were friends with Alice? And....did David ask you to the formal? Hmm...I can’t remember anymore ><” Nevertheless, there are all the fun times shared during maths frees, not to mention working together in setting up the epic maths classroom xD. Also remember you being beastly in maths [I guess that runs in the family, eh? =P] and also waitering at the formal last year; ravenously eating the scraps from a plate we had to share between you, mawson and I =P. And also K! You’re quite the good singer.

I’ve always seen you as a ‘bubbly, smart’ person that’s yet to be tainted from the evils/corruption of this world [well...thats what I see whenever something of the “errrk” nature arises in the convoes with people our frees]. On the topic “stupid things said taken out of context” I guess we’re even, so I guess it’s only fair I don’t say anything regarding...that anymore =). I’m glad to have known you, you’ve brightened up the days and even though you’re not a med person, you’d probably make a good doctor. Anyway, good luck as you go into uni studying law =).

T.W.
I can only remember you being very beastly in physics, and getting into phys olmypiad xD. Nevertheless, It’s been fun being in the same physics class for the past 2 years [oh wait, physics? I meant freesics, since it was always a bludge xD]. It’s always been a pleasure talking to you, and thank you so much for the help during chem and phys =). I don’t get whats the big deal with you and others, but I think you’re a good person, if not one who outwardly loves KNIIIIIIIIVVVESS!.

I see you as someone who’s interesting [you’re a guy, so nothing sus >_>] and determined’ person, and well, its only fair to say that you’ll be just as interesting when you do med; try not to shout KNIIIVES to much, yeah? =P [dw, I kid =P]. Good luck aiming for that 99.9/99.95, I’m sure you’ll get it!

A.Y.
The first memory of hearing your name would be the fact I heard you wore gloves during ballroom in year 10? I understand the reasoning behind it, though I thought it was pretty cool you wore them even without that reason xD. Well, I’ll be remembering all the..er...interesting conversations we’ve shared in our maths free, even if they were rather awkward for our innocent little minds. Not to mention both of us getting into maths 1 from maths U [maths underdogs!], and sharing the same feeling of “being underachievers” once we did [yay, we’re not alone! :D].

...I would call you “fully-sick” except that titles already taken =P. Though I definitely see you as someone who “innocent, yet corrupt” =P. Although I’ve only truly gotten to know you in this past year and a bit, but I must say its been really fun hanging out with you and the rest of the group [not to mention you “borrow food” at a reasonable level =P]. Hope we’ll stay in touch, dunno how though...hopefully same uni? Otherwise someone organising K xP

M.Y.
I knew you from way back in year 7! You were in my DT, VA and Ag classes, very well known as Buddha xD. Except you hated being called that way back then, I remember =P. Though I only got really got to know you in year 8, as one that sat right next to Chandra handa in English...oh how we were scared crapless =P [mainly from the “password” incident]. Very prominently remember you for your skills at cricket in the brief time I was in the team, and also for the fact you’re the company W.O in the cadet unit for a considerable amount of time [Oh WO is you, to have to do such a hard task =P]. Also for the countless memories at bivs and...short jokes [sorry! ^^”]

Well, since you were the W.O. of our cadet unit; I find it fitting to describe you as “tiny, but mighty”. I’ll be honest here and say I really did think you were pretty nasty back then in year 10, early 11, but I know you’re not like that; and it was a necessity to do so in cadets. For that, I’m really sorry, and while I’ve never actually openly apologised, I guess this will have to suffice until the next time we meet. Still, I thank you for not eternally holding it against me, and that you’ve been awesome as a leader I look up to, as well as really being a source of discipline, leadership and initiative for me, which i’m really grateful for. You’ve been awesome to get to know, and very compassionate and kind when you want to, and well, I hope to see you being an awesome army doctor in the future =)

To everyone else:

I feel guilty not having the rest of the grade in it, though I honestly wished I could’ve gotten to know each and every one of you, time has once again made an enemy of us all. To all the people that have just said ‘hi’ as i’ve walked past [and hopefully I returned it as well] and the unseen trust I’ve developed with you all; thank you. I’ve always talked about how Ruse has been a very big family thats there for each other, and I stand by that; The amount of support we give to each other, and the “team chemistry” we have as a grade [Awesome shout out to JE09/jazzog!].

It’s amazing what the past 6 years has been to me, thank you all for changing me from an introverted, near suicidal, extremely self-loathing, unstable person, [Wow, delightfully...dark, aint it] into someone whos more confident [if not more crippled] and well...I’ve honestly found my sense of be-*background noises of screams and flesh being beaten* if it were any other school I ended up in, I might not even be alive today xD.

Though seriously, its the little things from everyone that makes my day, and well, you guys are just awesome, I’ve loved every moment of my time being part of Ruse 09; there HAS to be a meet up soon, and I eagerly look forward to it!

And finally, those that aren't Ruse 09 but should still get a mention;

Year 7/8/9/10 Focus kids
You know, when I first met you guys at term 4 year 10, I thought you guys were just a bunch of restless buggers [sorry!], that only came to focus for the food =P. I mean, it took Gabs and I 5 weeks to actually know who was who...Nevertheless, I’m so glad to have taken you guys for focus these past two-three years; I’ll never forget our awesome focus pyramid [that’s still on the intranet, last time I checked =P], the things we’ve shared during lunch times [thats more than just food xD] and for fun things like end of term and houseparty =).

...I know it sounds mushy and all, but I thank Christ for seeing you guys grow up so much [in a not pedo way ^^”] and that you come for more than just worldly food, but for spiritual food as well! I’ve had so many self-lessons from just being with you guys...and well, I hope we’ll meet up after the hsc and the years beyond. [though I’ll see you at houseparty! :D] Its been awesome getting to know each and everyone of you guys, and you’ll all still be growing up exponentially in faith for the time left at Ruse [and beyond!] , Oh, and guys better invite me to your hps xP.

J.X & J.T
It was only late year 9/ year 10 that I started coming to FOCUS, and well, I enjoyed every moment of it! I’ll never forget you guys for leading Focus in my year 10-11 days, as well as for the “awkward-awkward” games before we started. Then there are the countless ISCF leaders meetings in which I slowly got to know you guys; the earliest being JX’s rage for “losing two marks in a chem. exam because of no headings” yet still topping the grade, or the fact JT was made vice captain =D. Thanks for inviting me/ letting me crash the both of your houses in our ‘focus meetups’ as well! Thanks for making HP08 so memorable, and also for the games on dota =)

I think everyone can unanimously agree that you JX, are the “epitome of lol” While it was unplanned, I still rofl now at the way you asked megan to the formal last year =P. Your epic pranks, random lol photos and even your most recent fb update [at this time: 6/10/09 1:06am]: “VOLDEMITE – the spread that must not be named” emphasise my point =P. Nevertheless, I see you and J.T as my ‘fatherly figures’, role models, if you will. You’ve brought me up spiritually and helped me grow in my faith through your light-hearted attitude to everything and by your passionate thirst to serve Christ; It’s been really encouraging to hear you guys share your faith with us during focus. Oh, and thanks for being my “tutors” in dota...I don’t have the lifespan of muons in game anymore! [I think]. Hope we’ll continue to see each other when all the hsc-stuff is done for us, and you guys better come to houseparty/nte xP.

Ruse10ers:

I’ve become friends with so many of you guys, most of you during year 10; either through cadets, iscf, focus or SLP =P. There are so many moments I’ve shared with you guys, thank you for making them so memorable; It’s been truly a joy to have gotten to know you all; I’ll never forget [and neither will you make me xP] the “push-up” incident [i think i’m in double digits now! Lolz], the sound and lighting efforts you guys have made [believe me, theres no way we could’ve done a better job], the enormous amount of encouragement in iscf, the random hair rufflings, general homeying about...and well, just being there in general puts a smile on my face =). I’ve definitely learnt the importance of not being caught in your on “grade bubble”..since awesome as it may be, there are tonnes of people outside of that which are just as awesome; and you guys are proof.

To the ISCF brothers and sisters; You guys are in charge now, God will be with you all the way, just as he has been for us. Take care of everyone else, and hope to see you guys strong in faith next year =) [Oh, and please try to find a james in year 10 to lead iscf to keep the trend going xP]

To the cadet peoples: Five words: Good luck! You’ll need it xP

Hope we’ll keep in touch =)

B.L
Well, I first knew you as our awesome houseparty bible study leader, and also as tim and htls mentoree. You’ve helped me so much with English; as well as being an awesome, supportive, brother in Christ to me. You’ve come to our hscf group quite a bit! Thank you for all the encouragement/food you’ve given us during those times. And you’ve leant me a few things that have impacted me in many ways [Zoolander; What my life has been missing xD, and the books which have totally changed my way of thinking].

I see you as an older brother, and really, even though we barely meet up [mostly on msn], you’ve helped me with my struggles, and thank you for all your prayers and advice as well! I’ll always see you as the inspirational type [from your epic impro-ed speech], and someone whos always caring and looking out for us as a group.

D.L.

At first, I knew you as “lee’s friend” in RICE choir 08, and then slowly got to know you after being a fellow bassist in rehearsals. In that short amount of time, you’ve become one my most trusted friends. It was also a joy to see you at our 50^th anniversary church service, and for all the encouraging and deep conversations we’ve shared together [not enough in person, too much on msn, unfortunately...but then, it’s hard for us to meet each other =\]

I see you as a “strong brother” in so many ways; strong because of your general buffness, but also strong because you’re passionate in following Christ, honest with your attitudes, and you always bring an interesting perspective into common topics. You’ve been supportive and encouraging to me these past two years, so I thank you so much for that [though yes, 100% glory and thanks to one who truly deserves it =]. Who knows, we’ll be meeting up in rice next year, and maybe in other events as well; but for now, good luck in all your strive for; I hope all will be fine for you; strive for His glory =).

B.Z, O.J & M.H

You guys are the last people I used see every day, and so it’s fair that you guys get the last one as well. You guys are what I miss about the daily train travel home, in fact, I regret getting my driver’s license, since it means not being able to meet up with you guys on the arvos anymore =(. I’ve met you all through different times of my Ruse life; one back in year 8 [Oh man was I a tool back then>_>], one in year 10, and the other in year 11. Thanks for all the memories shared in our movie outings; esp. the sus guy and his “sus” impersonations/actings xD. You’ve really made train travel fun; I can see the contrast whenever I’m travelling home along , and I’ll definitely miss you guys =(. Still, since we’re all living in the same area, i’m sure organising outings/meet-ups won’t be too hard [you guys don’t have hsc! Its all good xP]. Whether its msn, being stalked by SOME people on facebook, or possibly bumping into each other on the train in the future, I hope we’ll keep in touch.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PHEW! After typing all that up, [and after reading all that if you were THAT bored O_o] I think I’ll be taking a break from blogging for a while....Good lucky studying everyone! Don’t waste your time [as I have], its only 2 weeks away! And theres way more time to party and procrastinate after that xD.

So, this is Godb’ye, but not farewell from me. May we all see each other again in much happier times =)
