The LAST DREAMS 5 meeting just ended, about an hour ago. I wanna write everything while they are still fresh in my mind.
Choosing the DREAMS 5 meeting over the musical, was a super duper good choice. I will tell ya guys each and every single detail of the meeting, as much as I can remember.
Today was a very hectic day. I didn’t have the mood to study after recess today because I was soo tired. Why, you may ask? I will elaborate on that later. During the 3 periods of lit, we watched a movie(which we haven’t finished) called awakenings, which is closely related to one of our lit stories that we need to study, flowers for Algernon. Maths, was as usual la, halfway through the lesson, everything became alien to me. Chem, was sleeping throughout, Mr Ong didn’t come so they continued watching the movie, while I slept.
After school, rushed back home, do all the stuff and left at around 3 to go to see the musical(it was more of a dance show then a musical la) at The Arts House. Funny thing was that I got lost along the way, and my batch planned a route which included The Arts House for the amazing race. Super malu la. Musical, not really what I expected, shouldn’t have bought the tickets cos didn’t understand anything at all, I was also sms-ing Miao throughout the whole musical. Rushed back home to change(cos Miao told me that we must wear school u for the meeting) and take the cupcakes. Was too tired and the cupcakes were heavy so I cab to school. =D. Thank god I reached there early.
First off, Pizza disaster, or so Lester though, because he though there weren’t enough pizzas. So, he went to order another 4. We ate our dinner then brought our barang barang to the conference room and officially started the meeting. We read through and reflected on our 3 weeks letter and what happened during these 3 weeks. And then we ate again, this time round it was the 4 pizzas that Lester ordered and my cupcakes of course along with Bryan’s drinks. We then reflected on our personal goals(the one we did in bishan park).Oh ya, they also had a certificate giving ceremony, for the leaders. XD. We were informed that we will be receiving it soon, from Mrs Lim.After that, they darkened the room and Lester started talking and asked us to look at the BIG candle which they lit in the middle of the table while he talked. Also, on the screen, there was the picture which is on my msn and the words: “ DREAMS 5, my journey with you by my side.” While Lester talked, I think I almost cried cos some of the stuff he said, the person that I wanted to say it to, wasn’t there. I had to make do with the picture on the screen. He said:" in this expedition, who had touched you the most?who had come to your rescue when you were hurt or sick?Who had gone out of their way to be friends with you?". I think you know who you are la, i guess. Then, they showed us a video, compiling all our moments inside, from Lester’s point of view. It was soo touching, kay? Especially the captions. From us doing our bishan park presentation-prep camp-us doing construction work-teaching-cooking. I think I will get a copy of the cd…soon. Then Lester lit his small candle from the big candle, we passed on the flame and the leaders gave us their last thoughts, because, once the flames are extinguished, DREAMS 5, is officially over and I read the poem(haha..not really a good presentation) and after our own self-timed reflection, we were asked to extinguish the flame and keep the candle. I wish Dennis, emo, Wilfred, Lianyi and Addie could be there, it will make the LAST meeting, even more special becos all of us are there, but I am not blaming you guys la cos you guys got your reasons. Dennis came late, rushed here after the musical. This guy constantly surprise me man. I didn’t expect him to do that la.
Oh ya, I almost forgot. I slept late yesterday night was because I was writing Andreas’s letter la. Soo sorry, I couldn’t write letters for everyone because I had no time la. Hehe, I had to narrow it down to 5 people. But you guys are special too…my fellow dreamers.
Btw, anyone know when is Chinhow’s and Lianyi’s DREAMS 5 presentation to the school??? Next week? Or the week after that? Cos I wanna see!!!! Pon-ing lunch is the least of my problems for Tuesday.
DREAMS 5 will always be in my heart. our candle will always shine brightly, in our hearts.
