-- to rono council elects, yiling, hafiz
thank you for ur contributions..painting e banner,helping everywhere in every possible way..really appreciate it..thanks..

-- to every member of Rono House who turned up
the mere act of attending is a morale-booster. thank you.


as the saying goes, it's not over till e fat lady sings.. Rono fought hard till e end, never giving up hope.. its sad tt so much effort was put in by so many ppl and yet our house is last.. the sole source of joy n jubilation being e lifting of e cheer champ trophy.. at least, we did not go home empty handed.. effort was recognised.

when e fat lady sung yday, it was in e form of our college anthem.. two lines.. and i was on e verge of tears.. finally.. its all over.. as the strains died down, i turned to look at owens.. daya had tears in her eyes too.. talking to chang later, i realised e three of us have e same sentiments, e same thoughts, e same feelings and emotions.. to e other 3 hse capts..hidayah, wei chang, fara..
we can step down now..thank you for all e wonderful memories..e first and last project tt us house captains can truly call our own..we pulled through yea..though there were a little hostility n unhappiness now n then, it was only part n parcel..we came out stronger rite..whether our hses are champs or not, house captains are never rivals.. we stand united, as always. thanks guys..for e support n encouragement.. hse capts rocks..!

gosh..din expect myself to write so much..well..e words jus flowed..
many thanks also to e ppl who were concerned abt my emotional wellbeing after e meet..
dun worry..things are fine..looking forward, and not backward, is e key. and yes.. to mrs low-chia and huifen.. thanks so much for ur smses.. they meant alot to me..
thank you..
