for Shannon and Dee

even though they might never read this.

but if you do, go ahead and cry, i won't mind ;)

(please play the song before proceeding)



...

when we first got you guys, it really really was a common opinion that you guys were 'boring', 'sian' and 'not fun'.

but really, that completely changed as we were having icebreakers (odd that they call them icebreakers when you don't get to break any ice)

when you were calling out our names, i responded to LEEWEI but so many people said you left out NANCY. so i became known to you guys as Nancy.

the forfeit for our mother hen was super funny. Shannon actually poledanced for us LOL. i'll never ever EVER forget that.

small pole, medium pole or big pole. i think mother hen should have picked medium pole mans :D

and then, off we went to Changi. i was dreading it. like really dreading it. i didn't want to be cut off from civilisation, cut off from my phone and definitely not from my pandas :(

i really didn't bring in a single panda!

but you guys just kept having fun with us, laughing with/at us, encouraging us, talking to us, acting gay with us, bullying instructors with us etc.

you guys say we made you feel welcomed. i say you guys made me feel like MOE CCAC was home.

and for once our class felt like a real family, with you guys as our mum and dad (i'm still torn between deciding who's the mum and who's the dad)

here i assure you, it was with absolute sincerity when we said that we love you during our campfire performance.

debrief that night was really really saddening. even Priscilla (whom i've NEVER EVER seen cry during my whole four years of knowing her) cried. you guys made all the sunburns, the lack of personal hygiene, the sandy floors, the freezing nights worthwhile.

last day. everyone was super quiet, super shag, super stone, super sad. last day you'll be our instructors. last day we'll be able to see you (supposedly). all our lasts.

and you guys made the absolute best of it :)

you two made us laugh so so SO much when we got Shannon into a skirt (IT'S SICK AND WRONG but absolutely hilarious), you guys broke rules so we could stay in touch, you guys assured us that you'll remember us and will miss us like loads and loads.

i assure you, all those mass 2SY convos you haven't been a part of were devoted purely to discussing how we could accidentally bump into you guys during class outings and how much we missed you two and how much we wished we could go back and how to pass you our class shirt and how much we really really loved you two.

i know i didn't cry. you guys told us to leave happy, just as we went happy. so i smiled the best i could, and hoped you guys remember it.

Shannon, Dee, please please please remember me. cos i'll never ever forget you.

2SY loves you so SO much. 2SY misses you so SO much.

i give you guys a spot in that most precious corner of my heart. i'll always miss you guys. i'll always love you.

take care, instructors, take care.

later, toony
