Joyeux Noël~!!!

Here's to the year soon past:

The Bros (alphabetically arranged)-

Jing- The most mature amongst all of us, it's great to have you back! Quit mugging and join us for the pathetic remainder of the hols... Bwahahaha...

Koof- There's a new girl in his life... And she's just 2 months old! Before we call in the anti-vice cops, we'll wish Koofius all the best for the upcoming CLEO's 50 Most ELIGIBLE Bachelors' shoot... Hilda hang on tight!!! And stop trying to shoot past me... It ain't no use dude!

Meng- Now that King Meng and the Knights of the Square Table have ceased hostilities with each other, there's a high chance of us meeting up outside his place and may the New Year bring about more success based on the four tenets of your benevolent reign- her, soccer, mahjong and us the bros!!!

Nick- Nickootate is an enigmatic creature that tends to let loose under the most unforseen circumstances. Hope that the New Year will bring you much joy and happiness, and may another girl be smitten upon you soon!

Ra- Your brooding demeanour puts Richard Gere to shame, and in want of a better example, may the New Year see many happy returns on the hard work that you have put in for your academia! Let's keep up with sharing .torrents and may the year 2006 bring faster download speeds to my fellow 'friends'.

Zhong- The most 'charming' of the bros, your devotion to the cause is never in question. Thanks for all the joy and laughter that your puns bring, and may 2006 bring about greater success on the part of your pursuits (both academic and otherwise).


The Closets. Yes I do mean 'the closets'.
These are the people with whom I share a DCC connection.

Celest- The course of true love never did run smooth. And hush now. Never, never argue with the bard. Dora Lee taught me that. Who's Dora? Ask Mengster. The year past has been a cauldron of mixed emotions and fortunes for you. And despite the tumultous times, it's the who that makes you happy that counts.

Tracy- The year hasn't been too smooth sailing for you. But then again, with each crisis you emerge stronger, and all your friends have all stood up to be counted. May there be more blessings in the year to come, and may your mobility too, improve on the badminton court.

Chuan Seng- My kindred in hating NUS, the move to NTU too has indeed proven wise, and this further justifies our incredible tactical acumen. Next up we should probably quit our studies and jointly manage Chelsea or something. May your pursuit of love prove fruitful with all the XMM in NTU... Lol...

The OG 61.
The Circle Xperience. What a mind-blasting introduction to SMU indeed!

WanZhen- My fellow organizer and leader who-usually-usurps-the-OGL's-role- leaving-her-a-bystander-with-nothing-to-do, it too has been a rollercoaster of sorts ain't it. Here's to the longest-lasting Circle OG ever and a bumper crop of X'mas goodies in your socks. Just remember to wash it before Santa drops by.

Yeesh- The oft-victimised OGL of 61, aren't you regretting taking control of this unruly bunch of freshies now? But then again, without you, we won't have a victim for our sharp jabs and cruel remarks, and the unity present in our group would be gone. Bwahahahaha... You've done an excellent job of mothering us through Circle, and though there's been some disappointment this far, I hope that you'll move on from the times of yore and build on your own successes!

Lacy- Hey mei... SMU ain't that bad so far ain't it? Look beyond the current excesses, but keep your long-term goal in mind. Your determination is admirable, and please, there's always this pair of ears to hear you out. Stay the course and let's finish it together k?

Kenny- Having you around as a source of support gave me the motivation to work hard. You've faded off somewhat in the latter part of the term, and I certainly hope to see you again at mugging/OG bonding sessions soon!


The classmates.
Whom I'm so lucky to be with.

Sharon- Fret not, sis. There's a one person out there waiting for you. Trust fate and he will come hither. In the meantime, remember your conviction. The one target you had for your academic pursuits. Though we aren't going to have any similar classes next term, there's always Year 2 coming around rite?

Estee- Your bubbly demeanour brings a smile to all around you, and it's been a real joy and pleasure working with you for all the shit that we had to go through!

Lianne, Kechang, Wei Loong, Changjie and Alexis- We have no same classes next term!!! Argghhhhhhhh! Not a big issue anyway. We can, from time to time, take out the video clips of ChangJie laughing maniacally and reminisce on the insanely wonderful FA outings that our group has had. And then there's Year 2 for us. Live the dreams, Emeritus Consultants', and remember our ethos towards FA. No Boobs No Talk!

_______________________________

And after all these wonderful people, there's still one left. One incredible, indelible, invaluable and immeasurable persona.
SHE's the one. My one.
Our road has been fraught with challenges, especially in the latter part of the year. It took a leap of faith for me to jump ship to SMU, and i fully appreciate YOUR support in my so doing. YOU know my stance towards toeing the proverbial line and mediocrity, and on this day, I ask of YOUR patience, and YOUR steadying influence. I'll make it worth the wait. This I promise YOU.
