Firstly i just wanna say u guys had wasted ur tears on last saturday. Esp jojo. Hahaha u cry for what? Its not like the sec4s are dying or something. Just keep checking at the obituary and if our faces not there, it means we are still alive. Haha. :P My comp still spoil laa, me in the lib typing this out.
Fidah why so sad?? Ur like typing a suicide note like that. No matter what happens we must have faith. Have faith that we all will still be in close contact after graduation. Have faith that we will one day get to taste nadhira's cooking. Life's short, either u die trying to live it or enjoy living it. Sooo dun be too upset okay?? I heard from somewhere that this guy got too upset over something that he end up getting lice all over his head. You wanna noe why? Its bcause he's too upset that he forgot to bathe! He almost got dengue but was saved when his mother accidentally splashed him instead of the plants. :D
Haha thats all i guess. Life still carrys on. Mala will still be watching me, nadhira will still gorgeous(just to make her happy. haha), fidah will still keep on eating even though she knows that obesity kills,raudhah will keep on smiling and laughing for no reasons and the juniors will be upset over nothing. haha!
Seniors two more weeks. Enjoy it rather that morn about it! Sayonaraaaaaaaaa!!!

Letter from Fidah to you
Dear Frenchy Souls,
Time flies so fast ar? with a wink of eye, the day that i once were looking forward to is already coming.. you might go huh? but yea.. when i was in sec 1 abt 3 years back.. i can't wait to step down.. coz.. im not a bit interested in french horn section. come on.. honestly.. each of us dont want to be in this section.. right? yea.. we all know it.. deep down our heart.. but somehow as days and time spent in band.. in this section.. it changes my mind.. and when i got juniors and peers to teach the knowledge i have.. that's when i told myself.. i don't want to look forward to the end of my band life in secondary school.. but i have to snap myself back to reality.. im growing.. and getting older.. and i have to move on in my life.. and this memories in this band will be forever be in me..
i started out being in this section without knowing to play it.. i never heard of this instrument until i was in this section. pathetic ar? haha. .that's me.. what can i say? i wasnt from band during my primary school years. .in fact.. i was in choir.. *singing* haha.. for those sec 1 who are stumbling in here.. yea.. you all can say that this senior of yours.. love to sing.. =) before Mr Lim came, i was in saxaphone section.. and was kicked out because i cant play tenor sax.. after rounds of audition.. supposely to be in trumpet section.. but.. Mr Lim came in the sectional room.. check my beautiful teeth and *tada!!* im in the horn section.. Raihan, Mala and Raudhah are from trumpet section too.. and their teeth were also checked by Mr Lim .. and here we are in the horn section.. for the first few weeks.. i was a loner in the section.. learn everything mostly by myself. .the 3 of them were together.. yea.. it was like that till.. Nadhira came.. she's from trombone section.. yea.. and she's the one who gets the ball rolling.. and make us the seniors come together as a section.. everyone of us were a joyful brats.. and the slowest section to get the scales done.. Jamakyah came to help out. .taught us lots of marvelous things too.. Mr Lim came once in awhile to check on us.. we were very immature last time.. really..
Raudhah: Mama Lemon.. woi! thanks for being the SL this yr.. haha.. i was the SL when Sec 1 and 2yrs. .and u were the asst.. haha.. thanks for helping me coaxing the section when im not around. love you girl! all the best for N level!

Clements. .the only man in the family at that point of time.. haha.. i still remembered.. that i was being "chased" by Clements.. sort of begging me that he wants to be in this section.. every recess time.. saw him.. i hide one.. haha. .quite scary when you have someone.. chasing after you.. hahaha.. Clements scary monster.. they have lighten my life.. bring me from dark world to sunny bright island. their joy and laughter.. their different characters within them.. the way the make things very amusing.. and their innocent attitude..
Tiffany: Tiffio.. SL.. will be taking over the responsiblity already. once im gone.. you have to teach the peers and sec 1s.. dont leave the sec 1 to one corner.. ok?? dont be scared when standing in front.. do what u r suppose to do.. anything.. jz ask me.. i will here ok?
