Valedictory Dinner 2005

Sigh..just came back from Valedictory Dinner 2005..it's such a sad dinner for so many pple..well this was what happened...

There was pre-drinks (drinks before dinner) at 5.30pm..drinks provided were sparkling juice or champagne in those champagne glasses..and both types of drinks had bits of strawberries in them..so nice!! Had 2 glasses of sparkling juice before dinner started at 6.30pm..and everyone was wearing sort of formal..and i wore a halter top and black dress pants..oh and wore contacts too..and coz of that..couldn't really see well the entire night coz my eyes were dry =x..

Went in and sat our tables..and had bread with butter as they gave the opening speeches and media presentation..then had our dinner...main course of chicken, beet root and potato..only ate the chicken though..haha..and had salad to go with it too..but i don't eat salad..soo..only ate chicken..haha..and after that had more speeches, skits and awards..i got awarded this flag thing for being an ICC Representative for Softball..dunno what that means either..oh well..the flag looks nice though..

Then after all that..we had dessert..one stick of magnum classic or caramel ice cream each! the best ice cream we've had in the entire year man..felt so bloated after that..and then at the end we had a song sung by those who're gonna be graduating this year..they sang songs by Nickelback, Dirty Dancing (I've Had The Time Of My Life) and ABBA (Gimme Gimme Gimme)..but they changed some of the lyrics for the song by Nickelback..here're the lyrics..

Photograph - Nickelback
Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what is that on Darcy's head

And this is where I grew up
Where I learnt how to return my cup
It's a place where you never go without
Getting dressed up and then going out

I have memories of friends on my floor
Always happy to open their doors
Memories of having loads of fun
And when motivated, did a Gracey run!

So here I stand with my mates
Some of us are going to graduate
Some are leaving and some will stay
But I'll never let these memories fade away

Oh oh oh
Oh God I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye goodbye

And while singing this song..alot of pple cried..made me wanna cry too..even though I dunno most of them..but it's like..I've seen them around college day in day out for a whole year..and now to see them leave..it's quite saddening..sigh..just reminds me that we have so many pple who walk into our lives and then just leave..it's impossible to get them all to stay in your life..and you'll never get to spend such quality time with them ever again..sighz...there'll never be a chance where all these same pple and yourself will be able to stay together for another year and share parts of our lives again..sad..I love Grace College even though I don't know alot of pple..I love the kinda spirit that they have..the kinda family atmosphere that the college has..aiyah..feel like crying already..too bad things can't just stay this way..life's like that..will miss all you pple who're graduating! Thanks for making the college such a warm and cozy place to live in!! And all the best for your futures!!!

Sigh..and tmr it's Jong Yong's (our caregroup leader) turn to go through a farewell party..so many pple stepping out of my life..but I still thank God that He allowed me to meet all of them..to allow them to bless my life in so many ways..and I pray we'll meet again some day..
