flawed work of art.

hey blog readers! hope that all of you are in the pink of health as you're reading this. ok, pardon me for that sudden over-friendly warmth, I'm kinda on the high side right now.
yesterday was the day my headmistress bade farewell to our school. I think we (the 5th formers) were the last batch to really get to know her. out of my 5 years in convent, she spent 4 battling cancer. fortunately enough, she's one of them rare survivors. however, I really do feel it's time she retired & rested at home. I personally can't wait for that day to come. minus the part where I grow old & wrinkly though. I know, I'm avoiding the inevitable.

a few of us 5th formers who are supposedly on study leave, came back to bid our beloved headmistress farewell. as the hall was arranged for our exams, the function was held here, outside the biolab, where the students gathered at the balding field.


the choir's performance of 'wind beneath my wings' & 'because you loved me'. huh. they should pay me for singing celine dion songs. the most remarkable thing happened after the first song. as they sang their last note, a flock of birds took flight. it was so beatiful, like it was their cue to spread their wings. the few of us who witnessed the whole thing were just in awe. I only had my low quality moto e398 cam, which wouldn't be able to take a good photo anyway, so there.


I snapped this photo of an 'anonymous' girl sobbing next to me. actually, I do know her & you probably recognise her, but yeah, I don't really want to expose her identity, just in case she decides to go all violent on me.

did I mention it started to drizzle & mrs koo was so nice to invite us to go under the shade. ironically enough, all of us seniors just stood under the rain. I dunno about the others, but I really felt like standing there for the longest of times, just soaking in the atmosphere. even as we sang the school song with our chests out in pride, I couldn't believe that we were leaving, together with our dearest headmistress who was always going about calling girls 'sum sum' cos' of our hair. I'm gonna miss my alma mater. this was where I made true friends and learnt valuable lessons beyond the classroom & textbooks. my 2nd home where I was free to just be me.

I never could imagine
Life without you
From the moment
You walked into my world
Never knew how long a loving flame
Could burn
But losing you has forced me to learn
That we can't change
The way we feel inside
And every try at love
Never turns out right
We both know it's better if we just let it go
