This was written on the exact day after Cac+Us ended. And reading it again made me think of the good times, so I thought I should just post it, since I haven’t really written down any thank you letters for them.

20th February 2016

It’s 3 am now . Most of us probably just reached home from supper (as usual). And I’m already reminiscing the times. Our times.

I didn’t expect this Cac+Us to be such a memorable experience for me. But it did. And I’m thankful for that. Right before the final performance, it all dawned on me, that there will be no dance pracs every Mondays and Thursdays, no more laughing at JR’s interpretation of the music, no more Nic’s random shouting both during pracs (and during the concert itself), no more Woodlands-go-home buddy, no more wushu, no more JR, no more Wei Quan, no more Lee Min, no more productions.

All of a sudden, in that one short moment before we headed backstage, it dawned on me how far each of us has grown. Jun Rong, one of the nicest friend I’ve ever had since Year 1 , who was my mentor (remember you taught me how to bboy and how i saw you trying to lock!!), my confidante and my friend. Someone I really respect. Having seen you grow since 3 years ago, from joining hip hop, to going for classes, to taking up that heavy role in internal comp, to seeing you improve in each and every single concert (Don’t think I never notice), to finally choreoing for Cac+Us! I am seriously, very very proud of you. The moment I saw you hugging everyone in the holding room, and breaking down, it affected me so badly urgh. Y u do dis. Thank you for having faith in me all these while too.

Then, I thought about all my year 4 friends. The last production with them. That this will be my last production as well. I’ve seen them work so hard since our internal competition times together, and I really learnt a lot from this Mr Q. You gave me so much advice,tips and life lessons ever since we teamed up to choreo together during internal comp, and being around you all positive and happy cheered me up too. (Thanks for being so persistent. I’m definitely not the most positive person out there haha).

To Lee Min, I’m so glad we gotten closer, and I’m happy whenever you are around and I enjoy dancing with you, a lot. I can’t imagine the pain you have to go through every single day the past week with that injured knee, and I don’t know how you did it, but just know that I will be here for you if you need me, period.

Then, I thought about the new friends I’ve made through this item, and the very fact that I might never see this bunch of goofy, friendly people in this same situation ever again, made my heart so heavy. Too many names and faces passed through my mind, like

Jiayi (aiyoh you so good I fangirl),

Huaqin (thanks for being friendly and talking to me even when I never talk much haha),

Nic (ok you not new but I just wanna mention you haha SO HAPPY I HAVE A PHOTOG FRIEND, and someone I can talk to about the most random stuff in the world),

Jeral (HAHA our cat couple socks from JR, thanks for being item IC yay),

Vincent (ok you also not new but you really committed a lot for this and I really respect the tenacity and the way you handle your stress haha. and helping and guiding others, being the big bro. It has always been fun dancing with you and thanks for coordinating everything for this item. Really appreciate it.)

Ending it here because my brain juices are all dried up. It’s been a long day.

Good Night.
