To my old friends and teachers

I want to dedicate this special entry to all my special friends who were in primary school many years ago. Although we part our own ways, i will never forget you, to anybody who i can still remember. Forgive me if i have done anything to hurt your feelings or used it to my advantage and forgiveness accepted to all of my friends who in the past were together with me. Therefore, i would like to dedicate this song to everyone out there, including my primary school teachers. I dunno… but it seems that primary school life has given me a lasting impact emotionally and mentally. No matter what, i will still return to my ever proud primary school, Peiying Primary School, located in a humble part of yishun, for years to come. I will never forget my teachers who have helped me soo much that i just dunno how to repay you but simply to visit time and again during my free time. Mr Calvin Tay, Mrs Hanizah, Mr Mark, and Mdm Surati, my beloved Malay teacher. Ms Chew, who was my Primary 1 and 2 form teacher, and after 10 years, now, still teaches at Peiying Primary School. Mr Tay, I’m honoured to be rated as one of your best monitor in primary 5 and 6. Last but not least, Patarepon, you have been a great help in being as a friend and a monitress. I dunno whether you have returned to Thailand to your homeland or not, i just want to say a big thank you! Ernest, my funny friend, who people calls you names but never take it personally, who make me laugh rain or shine, your jokes are sincere and genuine, never meant to hurt other people’s feelings. Hope you are doing alright in North View…. I’m trully proud as you are to have a teacher like you and a student like me. Guess what, i still have that little notebook made our of pure recycled paper with messages and best wishes written by you and other teachers and i still think that it is the most treasured gift i ever had till this day, its a little dirty, but its still in my room.

This is your message:

Dear Jasrie,
You have been the best monitor I’ve known. I like to take this opportunity  to say a big “THANK YOU”. Hope to hear you when you leave Peiying. Best wishes from your future endeavours.

Lifehouse: “Everything”

find me here
speak to me
i want to feel you
i need to hear you
you are the light
that is leading me
to the place where
i find peace again
you are the strength
that keeps me walking
you are the hope
that keeps me trusting
you are the life to my soul
you are my purpose
you are everything
and how can i
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this
you calm the storms
you give me rest
you hold me in your hands
you won’t let me fall
you still my heart
and you take my breath away
would you take me in
would you take me deeper now
’cause you’re all i want
you are all i need
you are everything
everything
