the happiest day of my life.

Yesterday is a day filled with laughter and joy. What do I mean by that? the day started when I came into the office early to prepare for my intake exam with mr Soh. anyway, the students are really particular about the mistakes when I processed the exam paper, and pointed out to the invigilator. So I spent the day running to and fro from my office to the exam class, explaining and clarifying the mistakes.

I was supposed to stay back an hour and go out at 2. No joke man, considering that we both went home late after an event that we organised at Nee Soon South CC the previous night. (we left around 9 pm.) then I rushed into the office 1 hour early to prepare ourselves for the invigilation of the exam. (7.30 am) then Mr Soh told me that I have to stay back an hour just to help him carry the stuff back into the office. (that would be around 2 pm.)

But I managed call Ryan and he told me that all my friends are in the Youth Park, doing some volunteering service. I was delighted and i managed to negotiate with my boss to let me go early.. haha..

when I reached Ceneileisure, I shopped around for a pair of comfy slippers. My feet were aching from all walking around in heels. I think if I continue to wear heels yesterday, I would have collapsed.

when I reached Youth Park, my eyes were already half closed. I strolled around for them. I spotted Ryan first and he yelled out my name. but the others were pretty busy doing their own things. the malay volunteers requested that I sign my particulars on a piece of paper and pointed to Rebecca and the other SC members. ( some of them I do not know..) when they looked up at me, they exclaimed in surprise and guided me. Hanrong commented he wanted to paint blue.

then Kan Leong spotted me, and he waved to me. I waved back. Haha.. KL, My good friend in class K.E. i immediately clicked with him the moment we talked inside the class, it happens that my group was doing project work. talked non -stop till I really have to leave for class. from tat day, I guess we will always remain good friends.

after I hand printed on a piece of paper, I was directed to the other side, where Kan Leong and also the other guys were on standby. I knelt down to position my hand on top of the pail. Kok Yen and Steven looked up and yelled in surprise.

"DILLA!!!"

I was shocked by their response and almost sat down on my butt.

"Hey, long time since I last saw you.." Kok yen added. Steven nodded.

"what are you doing now?"

"Working." I replied to kokyen's qn.

" As what?"

"Admin assistant."

I guess that moment filled my heart with goodness and joy. the greatest gift that my friends have are their presence, and nothing can ever replace them. just to be able to see them, together, is enough for me. I even saw Sir Oon, and his daughter, Adeline.
it is a rare moment just to see them together in one day, except for Hajjar. I asked around for her, and I was told that she was sick. I was worried about her.

but my sleepines overcame it.
My eyes were half-closed most of the time, and GAry and Millie stood in front of me. I believe Millie did something to me, and I jut stared at them blankly for a while. I chatted with them for a while.

I went on to mingle with the rest, ans finally went down to sit down at a corner. Kan Leong and Eddie joined me, and we chatted. Eddie had no idea who i am. (Until KL refreshed his memory.)

I joined faisal, whose job was to hang up the hand printed papers. He spotted me, and to catch my attention, he poked me at the side. he knows that my weakness is around my stomach and sides. u know lah.. if kanna poked at d sides, I jump up a mile.. no kidding.

I played around with him, doing the same thing. Suddenly he defended himself, and poked at me repeatedly. He swung his arms around me and continued the same thing.

"Adilla, you're from work?"

I nodded.

" what you plan to do after this?"

" I dunno, I wanna hang out with them."

"At around 4 pm, I need to go."

"how come?"

" my friend's mum just passed away. I consider his mom like my own."

"icic. okie den."


I sat donw again and intended to get some rest. but GAry gathered the volunteers and asked them for PR work. I just stared at them from afar. you know what? running around and doing some work is the last thing of my mind. All I wanted to do is to sleep. haha.. but gary spotted me and asked me to follow them. I just followed them behind with rebecca.

After the PR work, they got ready to leave for dinner. it was already 4 plus, and I missed him already.

I went off with Millie, who wanted to buy something at Heeren's. we talked along the way, and i culd see that our friendship bond getting tighter. we headed to Millenia Walk, where the rest wanted to buy something - candies after our dinner.

I relished every moment that we hung out together, and Kok yen wanted me to stick to him. During our dinner at Burger King, I chatted with him, and both of us were really happy to see the rest. I joked with Steven, Han Rong, and Kok Yen.

Millie talked about the investiture, and she wanted to do the same dance for the previous investiture. Ryan gave sume ideas for the investiture. alas, the idea is great, but she doesn't even have time to chereograph the whole thing.

Soon, it was time to go home. During the walk home, I was accidentally left behind. coz the rest didn't notice that I still haven't crossed the road. I waited for the road to clear, in the corner of my eye, I noticed that the whole gang had stopped in their tracks and looked around. Millie ran back to where I was still standing, and I went after them, grinning cheekily.

"I tot that you are already at the front." GAry commented after I walked towards the group.

"haha.. nope. you guys didn't notice." I replied.

it was just like the old times.



Gary, Millie, Hajjar, Ryan, Sir Oon, Adeline, Rebecca, Faisal, Doreen, Intan, Kok Leong, Eddie, Kok yen, Steven and the rest,

thank you for giving me the best times of my life. you really supported me when I was hospitalised, gave me laughter and joy, all the fun times that we had together. there might be some times where we went through some conflict, and somehow the group wasn't as tight as before. Now is March, 2 months before you guys graduate from ITE Clementi or Tampines. I seriously hope that we could get together one day, this time, all of us happy and just enjoying each other's company. This is my dream, and a dream that I hope would be fulfilled one day...
