The words in red are dedicated to you. I know that these three and a half years, we have gone through much. We've worked through much, we've forsaken much. Three and a half years, albeit not very long, it's not that short too. If you think about it, much has gone by since we became squadmates eh?
I vividly remember the first day of training, do you ? Or rather, we didn't have a first training. We were told by Joel sir to bring black socks for the next training. Yes, it was near the plaza, the pathway leading to the hall. Haha, seems like you remember too eh?
Remember how coy we were in saying "you raise me up" ?
Then you would probably remember being labelled as seniors and upholdinga certain image towards our juniors. Haha, i still remember you telling me that the juniors never greeted you when you walked past them! How silly of you eh? But alas, those days are fading. What will our name leave behind? Be it a legacy or a bad name, i know that my duty is done here.
I know.
Hey, remember how disappointed we were when we didn't perform as we expected in the National Campcraft competition? I sure do, crushing my drink can and tossing it around. How furious we were those days! What? Marching in the NPAP contingent, Nostalgic ain't it?
Oh yeah, we came back during the holidays to celebreate our seniors' passing out wasn't it? Oh, i remember it well! I was so worried that night that we would mess our first event. Yeah, we were reprimanded for extending the concert for a while wasn't it?
For the past year, sorry about doggedly calling you up to ask for training schedules. Mahh, i know i wasn't the best leader around, but that's all in the past now right ? Cheer up, we don't want to stare at the stars again and cry our hearts out again. Yeah, sorry again, for my occasional pessimistic views. But i still have to thank you, you made my life much exciting. Most importantly, you've made me grow up.
Did you know i really wanted to sing 伯乐 during the POP concert that night ? Too bad, i didn't get a chance to. Never mind then, i will sing it for you this tuesday during CHMA auditions. Hope you would appreciate it. I really do wish that i could get into the finals so i could formally present my token of appreciation to you!
Three and a half years passed real fast didn't it? Hey hey, don't start sobbing on me now! Yet, those days really are over... cheer up and smile please,
You're making the back of my eyes warm now.
Yours sincerely, Sebastian Lim Wei -- presenting to you, 伯乐。
我们咀嚼着三年半人生的香气。
三年半出现的人是否只是路上的过客。
流淚記住了 還是微笑祝福著。
I've been having these weird thoughts lately;
like,
Is any of this for real, or not?
