So raise your glass if you are wrong in all the right ways.

Pink's Raise Your Glass brings back so many memories, memories of 2010. Memories of prom, specifically. And it reminds me of prom because this song was playing on the radio when Van, Suan and I got stuck in KL traffic whilst being driven to Equitorial by Suan's mom. And I remember Van Lynn saying, it'd be so cool if they played this song during prom, because it's 'raise your glass'. 

Fast forward almost a year later, here we are in November 2011, cherishing every moment of 2011 before 2012 (and the end of the world) hits us. If given the chance I'd do 2010 all over again, even though we had to go through all that SPM shit. It was a really good year nevertheless, a final year with friends you may never cross paths with again. 

If only, if only I could have a day of Form 5 all over again. A day with my beloved 5C and their 'chao si mei' jokes, lunch breaks with my lovely gang of ten girls who have stuck with me since Form 1, English classes with Jen-Li, Dhivya and Gwen, BM classes with Sheeks, Jen-Li, Dhivya, Sek Wai and Anish (and Alamin's Jedi robe), Add Math with Miss Leong (and Van Lynn beside me, with our usual "This is madness!" "No. This. Is. ADD MATHS!"), staying back for Interact Club meetings and games. I'd do anything to get it all again, even if it's just for a day. 

Sadly it's impossible, because (cliche alert) we all have to go on with our lives. But we still have each other, and in ten years time when we're married with kids we'd be like, "Ah, Form 5. SPM was shit, but, it was a good year."

Oh and it's Yuan Sing's birthday today! Ah more 5C memories, he sat across the aisle on my right last year and the two words commonly associated with him are "Jean" and "Rat". 

With Yuan Sing at prom. Happy birthday Yuan Sing!
