Dearest my classmates in 3A:

I can still remember the day i first stepped into the secondary school, SMKTM. All were new faces. All were looking at me, because i am one of the rare chinese girls in the whole Form One. I didn't know all of you, and of course you didn't know me. Because of i used to be in a chinese primary school before, so i couldn't actually adapt myself in the new environment in a such short period of time. It took time, yes i knew that.

Frankly to say, at that time i judged everybody by just simply looked at your faces. And my first impression towards everybody was almost the same --BAD+EGO. Yet i realised that i was wrong! Unexpectedly everybody was kind to me and accepted me as your friend. I was very regret for what i had done to you, friends. Now, i would like to apologise sincerely to you guys. SORRY. Please forgive my naivete and my mistrust.

After studying together for 3 years, i can conclude that i feel happy to be with all of you. Similar with Anis wrote in her blog, "I LOVE YOU GUYS." Really. Although the teachers always grouch about us, in fact, in deep in our heart we know that we are not arrogant. Sometime we are scared whereas sometime we are confident. However our self-confidence or even humbleness usually will be seen as arrogance. WE ARE ACTUALLY HIDING THE REAL OURSELVES. Only we know. And we need encouragements as well as supports from our peers in the same class. We have done that.

We study together, we share our thoughts together, we experience ups and downs together. Getting along with each other for years, i can feel a real sense of kinship with all of you. But now this is the time for us to be parted. This must be a poignant and disheartening moment to us. I am dejected.

• Michelle and Vivian, my close friends.
  
• Pieka, i will always remember you, for sitting beside me for a year. =)
  
• Shezat and Ain, i will remember that we had written the short story, Glorystara together.
• Anis and Wan Nur, who are superb and excellent in English and dancing.
• Dyan, Aisyah and Qurattu, a beautiful and talkative trio in 3A.
• Nadia, Liyana and Fathira, a quiet trio in 3A.
• Najiah, Fatin and Aimi, another trio in 3A.
• Ainun, the most quiet girl in 3A.
  
• Farhana, who can speak very loud, well and full of confidence.
• Muaz, the most sleepiest guy in our class.
  
• Iman, the smartest and mostly-girl-sought guy in our class.
• Azim, the biggest guy in our class.
• Asyraf, the darkest and slimmest guy in our class.
• Faisal and Afiq, a pair of good buddy.
• Hanif, the most hardworking boy in our class.
  

I hope that our friendship will last until we die. Perpetually.

"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Walk beside me and be my friend."
