The mushy one...

Sorry, I just have to let this out...

Just today, I received an email from my good friend Albert from the NUS Catholic Student's Society (CSS). I was the camera guy for last year's CSS Freshmen Orientation Camp (FOC 05) and he wanted the photos and videos.

During FOC, Paul, my fellow video buddy and I made a finale video for the camp. I found the video and just watched it. The ending part is an extended series of still photos of the good and bad times we had at FOC. All the laughter, sweat and tears!!
It plays to I'll Stand by You by The Pretenders:

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don’t be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
’cause I’ve seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don’t know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you

So if you’re mad, get mad
Don’t hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I’m a lot like you
When you’re standing at the crossroads
And don’t know which path to choose
Let me come along
’cause even if you’re wrong

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you

And when...
When the night falls on you, baby
You’re feeling all alone
You won’t be on your own

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you

I’ll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you

And it brought back such fond memories!! CSS FOC is all about love, fellowship and friendship. It reminded me of how much I miss you guys!! My dearest family at home! All my dear CSS friends, my engine friends, my CCA friends, my classmates... oh man, so many people!!! And all the good times we've shared! oh man!! Such fond memories!!!

I've got some photos in my laptop and here are some of you I could find. Sorry if I couldn't find and put all of you here!
My dearest family!!!

CSS friends celebrating my Bday!!

With CPE friends after our last paper many sems back!

The Engine guys at a post presentation celebration!!

And all the things I truly truly miss!!! Weekends at home with mum, dad and bro. Sunday pig-out brunch with bro. Friday mass with my CSS friends. Supper at Holland V with Abengs (Engine CSS) after FCG (Faculty Cell Group). Lunch breaks in school with engine friends. Sunday mass at my church, St Iggy's... man......

But the worse thing is I won't be able to see some of you as much as I used to even when I'm back home. Some of you are graduating, some going for SEP... Hope we can still stay as close as we were!!!

To everyone at home: You're dearly dearly missed!!! I wish I could be right there with all of you now!!!

Hiya, Andrew. Hang in there. You'll be back soon to join us for CSS FOC. Yupz, & can finally view all the oeuvre of yours during then. (Too bad, I'm not in any of them. Hahaha.)Anyway, my advice for now is to cherish every moment in denmark coz soon you'll be feeling nostalgic when you returned to Sunny Singapore. Catch ya soon. -Greg-
