Didn’t slept for 24 hours,I think.I might have just dozed off for like 5 minutes.Ziyad’s house’s freaking awesome.Just imagine 10 freaking Sec 4 kids with 5 laptops,1 Iphone playing Truth or Truth (We sent the DARE flying.Not fun),a PS2 system thou the last one was only used in the early morning like 7.Oh some of them watched Coming Soon and a couple played PSP Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. That was about what my blurred mind remembers. From my last meal at around 3.30am to 4pm,I survived on 2 cans of red bull and 1 small Pau. I’m amazed that I somehow managed to talk to like 2 parents and the teachers about UG. Mind’s not making much sense now.
Os is freaking over!!!
9 Nov 1989. A day to remember,for the wall had fallen. Thousands of Germans was killed/ injured trying to get to the other side, Civilians and Soldiers alike. Families torn apart,only to reunion after 28 long years. East and West Berlin, the direct opposite of each other. One was rich, the city prospering. The other was poor and suffering. And yet,all being Germans, they are unable to choose how their life will be. The Berlin Wall, a line between the rich and the poor. A line between Democracy and Communism. A line between the joy of having loved ones beside you and the torment of separation. Let today be remembered, in memory of Peter Fechter and others who lost their life at this wall, and let the lesson be learnt, about the cruelty of conflicts, and the long consequences of wars.
P.S
It’s amazing how you can trace all the events together since 1919,Paris Peace Conference all the way up to 1991,the fall of USSR. From the Gulf wars in the 1980s to the Transnational Terrorism we face today. History is indeed amazing.
When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can’t hold me forever
I didn’t sign up with you
I’m not a present for your friends to open
This boy’s too young to be singing the blues
[Chorus]
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can’t plant me in your penthouse
I’m going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I’ve finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
[/Chorus]
What do you think you’ll do then
I bet that’ll shoot down your plane
It’ll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you’ll get a replacement
There’s plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain’t got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
[Chorus]
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howls
You can’t plant me in your penthouse
I’m going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I’ve finally decided that my future lies
Beyond the yellow Brick Road
[/Chorus]

Just read Ziyad’s post on his life in VS.Actually thought about doing one couple of days back but I guess I just can’t put it into words.Just want to do something that I sort of swear to myself that I will do.
Here’s to all my friends,Seniors,Peers and juniors alike,my teachers and whoever whom have seen me during these four years of my life.A very big THANK YOU for all the trust you put in me,all the forgiveness you shown to me.Sure,with my temper,I’ve pissed many of you before.But still,thanks of standing by me.There’s a huge group of people I would like to thank,but I’ll leave it till the end.
A very big SORRY for all the times I’ve pissed you off,disappointed you or hurt you in anyway.I’m not so sure that this apology would be accepted,but I just want you guys to know that you guys are the best.
Thank You,for making my life much more exciting and meaningful,Class of 2009.
