Its been a great 2 days. It was an ending to our class, a closure to us, at least physically. These 2 days have been one of the more memorable times for our class I guess. It was where everyone of us got together, really shared their love for it. There were touching speeches, speeches of love, tears of joy, tears of sorrow. And more importantly, the spirit of togetherness that I guess all of us could feel at that time. Words just don’t explain how I felt these 2 daes. And onli Jawdroppeans will experience that feeling.
Once again, would like to thank zhixin for all that she has done for the class. Her music video reminded us of the happy times we had, the conflicts, the issues and our smiles.
“On 2nd Jan 2004, the lives of 38 individuals crossed each other and became entangled as one.” Now, the doors are open, yet its so hard for me to untangle myself. Thanks again zhixin.
Then came the speeches. Emotions ran wild, tears started flowing and soon, it was sadness all around. Even sadness could be seen in the eyes of the people who were always smiling away and enjoying life. That is the spirit of 2J. Where we feel for each other, just love each other, and sad to see the class gone.
Some speeches, of course, were more memorable and touching than others. But of course, we all know that most of us love our class, and that’s all that matters. That we will be sad to leave our class, that we will be unwilling to let go. Of course, it was great hearing some people who were normally so heck-y and cheerful, to come out and say something real nice about the class. People like minghao, keith. Zhihui. To at least show that the class means something to them.
We sang too.And yah, ive promised someone that I will try and accomplish that person’s wish, and it happned todae. How often to you see the class gets together that fast during community singing. Normally it takes encouragement, pushing to get the class together. Todae, it jus all happened fast. The singing too, brought out tears, and of course some fun from the guys. I felt that it was a nice thought from xiaolaoshi to get us to go round hugging those that meant sth to u, shaking hands. With Tong Hua playing in the background, it was defeinetly a scence I would remember. It was where you just could hide your emotions no more, it just all came naturally. Wishing each other all the best, and thank them for all that they have done for you. It doesent get much better than that in the class, especially our class.
I tink xiaolaoshi has was nice to present us with that song. Though we could not understand the language and the I don’t tink many of us were interested in the lyrics, it was still a thought from her. Something from her to us. Something she wanted us to learn. A value that she wanted to transfer to us. And yeah, it’s the thought that counts. It’s the effort she took in preparing it for us.
I didn’t cry or really break down in class. I still had to talk. But dunno y, in macdonalds, it just all came. I really dunno how it happened. It was all well, talking away. But then, suddenly, scences of the happy moments flashed through my mind. And tears just dropped. I dun really want to talk bout much that, just that it was great really thinking bout the times we had have. I haven’t cried in public for so long, and now, I really cannot explain how I truly felt that time. Thanks Aubrey and Eileen for being there, just being there was good enough.
Separation is tough. It sure is. Was pretty evident todae. But I guess its onli separation that makes u realize what u have around you, how happy you should be everydae. But as tough as it is, we would have to move on. And I really have to pick myself up from here. Living in memories for too long would not be a really good thing to do. But that’s what im doing now. And I would really have to try and accept the fact we’re separating, and it would be tough to be together as ONE again.
We are all separating, hopefully for the better. Its so hard to let go, yet its for the benefit of all to do so. So yah, shall take this opportunity to thank all of 2J, who have given a period of time I will treasure for the rest of my life, a really memorable experience. And also all the best to each and everyone of us.
We also did postcards todae. We had to write a postcard on what we just love so much about the class..and following are some of my favourites bah.
“The joy and tears I’ve shared over the 2 years is indescribable. 2J will always be etched in my heart, 2J will always stay”
“Thank you for leaving your footprints on my beach. You know, each set of footprints are unique and so 38 people with different feet make up something really special”
“The people here has given me support and love when I needed them most. They were there for me when I needed them. I really want to take the opportunity, to thank you, 2J, for all that you have given me”
“I guess after what we have gone through, we have all learnt to hate the word Jealousy. Lets stop all the hatred and treasure the very last moment fate has given us”
“Physically we end here. Spiritually – u decide”
“We started out as ripples, insignificant and vulnerable. We scattered in circles, but we gave others signal of a strong bonding. We toyed with time but our unknowingness led to a wholesome eternal friendship that is interwoven with priceless memories and enshrined with invaluable emotions shared together”
“Let’s be bold. Let’s be strong. Let’s remember. Let’s go on”
May the spirit of 2J burn ever so brightly.
