New girl? | Life after school

Yesterday, after Miss Then, our Bio teacher, reported that there will be yet another new student in our class – a girl – everyone started obsessing about meeting her (including yours truly). There’s the fun and excitement on meeting a new member to our class; she didn’t turn up today, though.

Was reading my History yesterday midnight when I heard this song by Vitamin C, Graduation (Friends Forever). There’s like a year and a half to go, and I wonder where all of us – my friends – would be once we grew up? Would genius all-rounder Suet Li be the greatest doctor/scientist on earth? Would Ryui Bynn be a geologist? Would someone from my class discover the ultimate cure to HIV/AIDS?

Part of the lyrics ring true to me, and made me think:

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Will Heather find a job that won’t interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it’s not goodbye
Keep on thinking it’s a time to fly
And this is how it feels

To all my friends and those who knew me in some way, the chorus portrayed by this brilliant song, I’m saying this to all of you from the bottom of my heart:

As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together,
And as our lives change, come whatever,
We will still be,
Friends forever…
