Dear Daryl,
cherish your brothers and sisters
Looking back at my collections of picture.
I've realized that these are the people that were always there for me.
There for me during my first heartbreak,
and the others that came along.
There for me when i got bullied in school
and there for me when i needed help with school.
It's funny isn't it, that how we became from strangers to friends
and now, brothers.
I could still remember like it was yesterday at the back of my mind,
we all entered east spring sec not knowing each other.
With our shirt tucked in, and socks pulled up high.
Like NERDS!
As usual there was school orientation and well
Yuanhong was the first guy i noticed, well cause he sat beside me using a lipstick.
well ok lip balmer.
Next was weihong, cause i can't tell if he's yuanhong or weihong.
followed by the rest.
Few months into school, yenhan transferred over from another school.
It was the start of our brotherhood.
With no where to go, stuck in school everyday
the 7 of us were always together.
Toilet, recess, after school activities.
Like having mac for 2 years of our life for lunch in sec 1 and sec 2 no fail.
Going against the teachers, Basketball, remedial, fights, movie and pool, what else?
You name it we do it.
But that day had to come, sec 3 grading.
WELL, i wasn't really the brightest kid in the group.
And I believe that everything i learnt from young til now,
I learnt it the hard way.
jurong safra toilet.
sec 3 chalet
sec 2 chalet.
sec 3 i think.
us when we graduated from esss.
i miss my hair.
Being put in a class with people i didn't know.
Retainers, and all the rest who didn't do well in school.
It wasn't easy being in a class that 50% of the people you had had fights with before.
Some may know me as XXX younger's brother.
Some were my pri school friends.
And the others were just people that happen to be there.
It was just me, Glenn against the rest of them.
But Glenn had to leave me during sec 4.
Wished we could retain together.
I've made some friends during sec 4.
Well,
the fact that being alone sucks and I sat next my pri school friends, Nad and Audrey.
One that would also smack my back to make me awake when i sleep in class.
And one would always ask me to go out of the class and slack somewhere in the school.
Through Audrey and Nad. I've made some friends.
Jew, BiDian, XuHui, Esleen, ZhiYing, XinYi, Joan.
These is the start of my 2nd group,
My sisterhood.
I didn't expect us to still meet after graduation.
Well either way, thanks to them.
I've survived my year 1 in poly not making friends in my class.
Everyday afterschool, call esleen, zhiying and meet.
Go laselle meet zhiying, then nafa meet esleen, bus back tamp meet joan then have dinner.
Then slack til 2-3am at Mr prata.
No fail twice or thrice per week we'd meet.
They were like my elder sisters, and they'd call me their small brother all the time.
There for me when i cry, well glenn was the first to see me cry and zhiying was the first girl to see me cry.
And during birthdays we would all come together into a big cluster like 20-30 people celebrating together.
That's how much i enjoyed it.
I knew everyone there,
and everyone won't judge me for what i am nor what i do.
You people are the layers of my shield,
i can only protect myself this much.
And i'd know that everyone of you would be another layer add onto my shield.
Protecting me from whatever shits the world throws at me.
Making me alittle tougher and alittle stronger.
Isn't it a pity that as you go into different environment,
you realize that not everybody will accept you for what you are.
There are those that deny you just by looking at you
or for 1 mistake that you've done.
There are those that are fake, and those that will use you.
I admit that i've lost faith in people.
It's hard to trust people anymore,
and these are the people i know i can trust,
whom will be the arms that catches me when i fall.
Before i end.
