Photos evoke emotions.
I browsed through them, and its en entity i cannot deny.
Its a time frame, a moment, an experience, shared by you and whoever was with you.

And through time, their significance either dwindles or strengthens.

There are many significant characters in my life whom i am not able to find photos of.
There are too many names.
But here are some unavoidable names...
Alex Tee, Joshua Sho, Adam and Thia (I dont have pictures of your on this desktop), Abel, and a few others.
Please, they are not ranked, and they all come from very diverse backgrounds.

98% of the following photos are taken from Facebook.
I only saw 99% of them today.
Amanda Lim is crowned champion for putting up so many albums.

There are some photos i look at now, i think about the times i shared with these people, and how i lost the intimacy i used to have with them.
I think about how much I've changed since then.
I think about all the times we shared, and nostalgia kicks in.

Sometimes, when you look at photos, where you have been there.
You recall the sounds you hear then, you recall how it feels like to be there.
This is the value of a photo.

Readers please feel free and easy about this post.
There will only be certain parts that interest you.
And i am doing a brief summary of my entire teenage life.

There are many grammar mistakes through out this post.
I am too lazy to change it.

If photos mean so much to me, and so does God, I definitely would like to take a few pictures with Him.
I am sure I will get my photos printed in heaven =)

The following photo is awarded the best photo of the minute.



Check out the composure, lighting, setting, colours, and the enthralling smile.
Love the sun at the top left corner.
I cant say any more, it just looks awesome.

To my childhood friend, Nat Yeo.
It may not be a lot, but for the times we interacted this year, you always make me smile.
I hope you feel the gratitude and appreciation.
And i wont forget that defining day in Vivo.
Black book =)



Nat does the same dance in front of another tree.



She tries to outgrow the tree.
Reach for the stars!
Ops, its not even night yet.



She has got the dancing bug jumping in her!
Somehow she looks really tall here.
Hee hee.



Now Nat is yelling her lungs out at me for writing such comments on her photos.

Camp comm
A journey to difficult to forget, and too much to remember.
It was tough, but God did a lot in my life through this committee.



I didn't save other CC photos from Facebook, so yeah.
Its quite badly taken, i think i purposely blocked certain faces.
I forgot whats the theme.



I have a feeling this photo is taken by Joshua.
I shall not comment, its still a beautiful photo anyway.

To Janel
At this moment, I'll offer what you offered through this photo.
A smile.
A sincere and genuine smile.



Yes i have wrinkles on my forehead.
Had them since p3.
I was deep in thought till i got interrupted.



To Jolynn on the far right, its been uber long since i talked to you.
Even though you mug at a school so near my house, i never got to have a meal with you.
We used to discuss a lot about cell.
The journey was made much more bearable because of you.
Thanks =)



Was Ronald trying to say a joke?
Yes that was the questoin i was trying to ask.
Vietnam joke?



Love this shot.

To Cheryl Tan
For the little times we conversed, most were remembered.
Trust me, you were one of those who made the journey in camp comm bearable too.
With much appreciation and gratitude =)

The conspiracy act.
The emo session i had.



Got a feeling this shot is taken by Josh again.
Ops.
Realise the books are more focused than Ronald?
But nice composition.

To Ronald
For all the times we talked too, it is highly valued.
You are the first person in my life, Josh too, to see me literally lose my head.
Screaming on the streets and not bothering about what the public might think of me.
Your responses made a huge difference, i know you did your best, i was just too difficult for you then i guess.
But it seriously is appreciated.
And the stay overs, thanks a million.
To Ming Wei, thanks a billion.
(I get a personal bathroom, a queen size bed all to myself, for staying at Ming Wei s house. Sounds better than a hotel)




Ronald tries to think.
He wonders if he succeeds in accomplishing this feat.



No, he is filled with anguish!
Why cant i think!?

Ministry



I was once an usher.
I moved on since then.
This was koped from this years ushers camp.

Vox Astra



Fine i had a bad hair day.
I am no longer that plump, lost 5 KG since then.

To Jill
For all your whining sessions, its interesting to hear.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
The grinding machine.
You did break some mentalities in me on the academic aspect.
I will not forget you for giving me a surprise on your birthday itself.
Telling me its your birthday.
The date is just too...
Here s a smile for you =)
Thanks for certain encouragement that continues ringing in my head.
Some did actually forced me to think positively while mugging for mid course.
"Don't give up!"




This is the only picture, which so happens to be not so glamorous, i have of you on desktop.

To Car
I've stood by and watch you grow through out this year.
I will tell you more next time through a letter.
=)



To Chai
I don't have to tell you how much i appreciate you.
You should know.



Oh come on?
There is no need to be angry.



To Rae
For the times i spoke into your life, i know God will continue the work.
God will keep holding onto your hand, so smile yeah?
And thanks for all the time i get to tease you.
Makes my day brighter too.

My Classmates

The following bunch of people, are the human beings i meet from Monday to Friday, on a weekly basis.
My life is made more interesting by them.
And some more vexed.

All these photos are taken from the perspective of a highly random girl, Candice.
Its quite different to see the same event, with a different camera.



This photo exists on my blog, because her smile is nice.
I've got nothing more to add.



I was trying to understand the structure of the stem, when they took this picture.
Mr Lim is standing behind.
There is this blue balloon we found during teacher s day.



It is a twisty photo!



He is below 30.
I shall make no effort to insinuate anything further.



This is the shirt i wear to play frisbee.



Jia Yun tries to run like flash.



Ask Arvin (The dude below) why i posted this photo.



Huh?



The face nearer to you, Yu Ting, is my group member for PW.
Thanks for your tolerance, patience, and no thank you for thrashing out on the keyboard when i am doing WR, or slides.
Her smile and laughter never fails to make my daybrighter.

POLITE cell

I wished i had the chance of spending more time with this awesome bunch of people.
Honestly, i feel detached, i lead a rather different life, but yet i speak their lingo.
It may just be the only outing i mange to join so far after so many times, but i enjoyed it thoroughly.









Ian, impales a carrot?



Joshua tries to enlarge his lips without paying a single cent for plastic surgery.



Section 377A forbids that!

Aren't they just cute?

Nat...



Are these the people whom you tell me about?
Stacey on the far right.
And i forgot her name, the one on the far left asked you how to switch on a mac book?
Is the Caucasian the one whom you feel compassionate towards?
Tell me the next time we kibitz



Yes, Stacey loves you.
Isn't your muffin on your shirt like flattened?

Pre U sem reunion



Its amazing how 5 days can bring a group of people together.
We all are busying our lives away, but we are goign to meet on the last week of nov again.

IJC



Janelle proclaims a message.


SP



To Jocelyn. (The far left)
Thanks for accompanying me to get the withdrawal form for poly.
We may converse very little, but for the advice, tips, and the bit you share your life with me, thanks a lot.
I remember quite a large portion of them.



A clearer picture of her.

My Skate life

This was when i was 14.
I think its one of the skinniest phases of my life.
I've stopped skating for very long.
But having the wind on your face, and feeling the ground as the wheels move forward, just feels awesome.



I dont know how high it was.
But Justin smiled.

--



Look at the 4 of them.
My brother is the brown shirt dude.



If only 3 of them are in there, then the one taking the photo is most probably my brother.
They positioned themselves behind the man who sleeps.
Wait, then who took the previuos photo?
I think is the man asleep over here.



Kenneth, the one awake, was the one who inspired me to skate.

To my only brother



Kor, thanks for being my Kor.
(The one with the watermelon on his head)

Photos speak volumes.
