Thank you for planning the sweetest farewell ever.
It was the best, the most memorable farewell.

It's okay to cry yesterday.

But do remember this,
nothing last forever

& we have to move on.

sec 4s,
thank you for the memories.
I can still clearly remember how we met & got to know one another
How we got closer after planning a farewell in '07
How we practised real hard to get the steps right for a dance profi badge
The camp that we planned in '08..
The sing a long session in the bus
The time we spent packing the cozy Guides store
The recording of our performance for farewell..

The moment we've spent together for 3 years & 4 months
is simply irreplacable

the happy moments

the bitter experiences

the laughter

the tears

these little things were always something that made our day.

but the journey has ended:(

Guiding has always been my passion, our passion.
It may be hard to let go
but we can't help it
the big O is nearing
& we need to mug!

'don't be sad when everything comes to an end,
but smile cos it happened'
