To all my Friends here..

As the two weeks flew by, I realised that it has been the most meaningful bit this hols. Knowing the IDs, how happy they are with life and how they dont sweat the small stuff, getting to know you guys.. It has really impacted my life. Each of you, everyone. I have to say this, to thank you guys.. so here's my personal thoughts just to show that I care.

Mates always remembered.

Aneesa

I'll always remember that heart-to-heart talk we had the other day.

The hug after (in the train ;) was so surprising, yet

filled with warmth.

it made me think..

how I got to know this special friend

on the same wavelength.

It's like the lock-key hypothesis you know.

you are the girl who speaks her mind

stands true

quirky and witty

sometimes so expectedly unexpected.

i'll really miss your comments.

Remember the night the 3 of us (and Lydia)

just kept talking

talking

even after lights out at 11?

we whispered

ears sharp for approaching bodies..

quickly pretending to be asleep when we realise there's someone at the door..

sometimes proving to be false

and having a good silent laugh after.

And we had to force ourselves to sleep.

Thanks for standing

sleeping

sharing

laughing

joking

sitting

singing

by me.

How nice it is

that I clicked with your friends too

especially Lydia

I wont forget her either.

If I were to pour all my thoughts about you,

the computer would probably jam up.

So i'll just say

that i'd really love to keep in touch

have another heart-to-heart talk

wherever whenever

and I sincerely believe that we will.

Yvonne

Our group's TF

Leader

Helper

Care-giver

and then

our Friend.

You are the one who inspired me the most

as they say

'Inspiration is the highest form of Motivation'

i guess the largest thank you i could ever thank you

was to tell you that.

remember the 4 of us talking at the playground?

you shared your inner thoughts

and we shared ours

though time was short

but the time i felt passed was long

like old friends.

we learned this one thing about leadership yeah?

about faking confidence?

to tell you the truth

what i learned from you

far surpasses that.

being friends first,

knowing your limits and ours, too

to keep us in check

despite our repeated errors,

you never gave up.

you explained to us in the firm, yet caring voice.

Then there's the other side of you too

the fun, bubbly

always cheerful

with a smile on your face

and a twinkle in your eyes.

Thanks for being the person that you are.

Sorry guys..I spent alot of time writing

I treat this very seriously

so I'll write the rest another day.

Yours truly, Clara.

Hope my computer doesnt hang..
