Please release me.

Not the most creative of titles, but neither does the situation call for so. Sentimentality. Sentimentality. What i'm listening to now: this

Not a surprise huh? No. Sentimentality builds up creepily, but when it overflows you just know it was coming all along.

I know many others have had their lists of best frens and all the farewell they wanna say to them, so this will come kinda late, but when sentimentality flows the time the right, when the time is ripe the plants will flower; a beautiful sight; autumn or winter.

There won't be any 'special mention' lists of name kinda thing, cuz if a person is really special, a mere mention's never enough.

2cups of honey and a mouthful of chuanpeipipagao later, let the pen flow:

(not in order of any sort, except in which they come to mind)

Weiqi gave me many special things in my life. And that includes befriending you. Going out with u and chenz is always a pleasant experience whr i never feel out of place, were i know i'm surrounded by buddies. Thx, and there'll be more to come. Think floorball and weiqi :)

Chenz & Huixiang
None of us made the bball team, but through bball we found someone who understands how it feels warming the bench, or not even getting to sit on it. We found each other.

Though i never played an official game with you guys, thx for making me still feel part of our bball batch when we do meet up, however rare that is.

Hongjie
Same class and same cca and same games (battleon, ragnarok, maple and whatnot) we were really tight in lower sec. Thx for the friendship. Though we interact far less these days since we're no longer in the same class, hardly go for bball and i've quit gaming, thx for still being a good, understanding fren that i can trust.

Mark yeow
My chairmanship would have been a hell lot tougher without you. I'm not too good with words. Let's just say, you do deserve a Service Award as well.Thank you so much.

Junhan
Thank you, fellow class psl. We only worked together for a short time, but ur a friend i can trust. Thanks.

Arunapuram Gokul Rahul
Its always a joy to chat with you and take a glimpse of your immense knowledge, computer-related or otherwise. Our philo proj in sec2 where u made the animation, in sec 3 when we set up the philo forum and in sec4 when we collaborated for RE. Oh and your guidance when i took CEP in sec3. My 4 years 'd have been less colourful without you. Sorry for not being able to get u a place in our grad table. It'd have been a joy to have you there.

Fahd imam
Our sec 2 philo proj with rahul, the interclass debate were u rightly were disatisfied with the judging, our near-perfect RE grp in sec 3. It was a pity you had to go abroad. We were perfect work partners :)

Ming xue and Ming quan
Thanks for showing me what a good pair of monitor/assistant monitors is like. Your sacrifices for our class and ur working in tandem really earnt my respect. I'm sorry that we didn't do as well as we could have done in sec3 RE with such a great group. We really underachieved, but it was a great ride.

Chinks
The last i remember of our lower sec days, we were quarreling because i won't lent u my maths textbook as it was the 2nd time u forgot to bring it. Fast forward 2 yrs later, and we never lack something to chat about. The difference 2 yrs make. Or perhaps its the gymming :)

Zishun
I love speaking chinese, actually. Its a joy conversing with you.

Joshua Heng
Lab partners for 2 years, thx for showing me how the stuff at physics lab look like on the inside, then managing to put it back all together again. Thx for for SS proj, without you it never could have been done. And thank you for helping me take pic during grad ceremony. Help me thank your mom too :)

My SS Proj Group
Mark-wise, we didn't deliver. But process wise, in terms of member's cooperation, it's one of the best ones in my time at RI. Thank you for all the filming, scripts, interviews, question lists, and of course, the EDITING. >< And sorry for the lost 4.0s.

Zijian
We should have chatted more earlier. Our similarity in ideas and ability to cope with differences in ideals, our common admiration for mr tan puay hock and the Chinese language. And our honesty to each other. Thank you for it all. Oh, and when tph says your 为人正直, don't be so quick to reject it. Perhaps deep down, you really are so. Maybe rebelling isn't that cool after all. Maybe this funny stuff and witty put downs doesn't detract from zheng zhi-ness. Or at the very least, its smth u can aspire to :)

Ian Yap
Thx for ur support during our SS proj. Thanks for those little gossip sessions we had, a few times at the library and twice at thai express. We didn't really hang out much, i understand the whole thing abt cliques and all, but i know that decades down the road if we meet we'll have no lack of topics to chat about, and honesty to put forth our thoughts, though u may sugar-coat them if u so wish to :)

Heng Zhong
Hello fellow Amber! Thx for being the loyal, trustworthy friend that you are. Smile more though, and consider adopting a more positive outlook! Oh yeah and lets continue our bookclub!

Walter
We've have been classmates in primary sch before being in 3/4 H together, but truth be told i don't really know him well. But you gotta respect a guy who so loves both School (as is obvious) and Country(as i've heard) and (recently) Class, when there have been times, at one point or another, that feeling otherwise would have been the hippier sentiment. Though for the latter, my opinion hasn't changed.

Jayanth
Someone else i don't really know very well in person, but his conduct when getting heckled during pe by hanlin was admirable.Perfect self-restraint. Kudos.

Prasatt/ravi/zijian
Thanks for going down to the rally the other time. It really was a great experience, hearing the speakers speak in the different languages and being able to understand them all through the explanation of one another. Smth i won't forget. Or at least, a reminder 'd come every 5 yrs =)

Taufiq
We've been in the same class for 4 yrs straight, and its only in the past month that we've been hanging out together. Really wish we did that, 3yrs 11mth earlier. But there's 2more years to go =)


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


Must have took some time to write all that. And all of 4 years to experience them.

And now we're Released.
