EDS handover @ East Coast Park, 6th July 08
I met Daryl at ECP'S Macdonalds half an hour earlier before the time to meet which was 3pm. We bought lollipops for the Year 4 seniors and i wrote letters on behalf of Bridget, Daryl, Desirae and of course, myself. Daryl and i went to Mac to tie up the lollipops with satin ribbon. We were like the centre of attention there. Many people came by to watch. 2 aunties working at Macdonalds came and bombarded us with questions such as : Who are you making for? Why are you making them? Blahblahblah. Finally we're done. We met Bridget and walked to the BBQ pit together.

As we approached the pit, we saw a dead bird. When we saw it, it was flat and we assumed that it got run over. I totally freaked out when i saw it and screamed like no one's business. Everyone turned to look and Bridget and Daryl felt so embarrassed. Haha! Anyway, we realised that the EDS FAMILY were all wearing the I LOVE EDS tee. Shucks. I didnt know we had to wear that so the 3 of us wore our dance tee. Fortunately, Vanessa said it was okay.

We started off playing the typical game of entangling your hands. Our group won! Whoots. Next up was the 3-legged race. In fact, more than 3. San Peng's group was first so they came to distract us. Jessica especially. She was so persistent. Lols. Oh the 3rd game was the best. We had to hold our members as tight as possible such that our seniors cant break us up. We interlocked our hands and tangled them. Vanessa started tickling me and i screamed like hell. As we moved away from them, we stepped on the mud which was so freakingly disgusting. We accidentally stepped on each other with our muddy slippers, and our hands, after being interlocked for so long and tight, turned red. In the end they couldnt break us. Yay my group rocks.

At 6pm we started bbq-ing. Our ever-nice senior Sanpeng was bbq-ing the whole time while we bbqed our marshmellows. CK and the rest were trying to set up the 'instant' one but it couldnt work. Whatever it is, i just wanna say that it's really nice for Sanpeng, CK and the rest to have helped so much. I now feel guilty because all the time, Des, Sabbie, Daryl and i (Bridget went home before 6pm) were busy trying to roast our marshmellows though i only succeeded once. Oh well.

Played, played and played.

Handover. I knew it was a moment everyone was dreading yet looking forward to. We sat on the ground, with Sabbie and Des beside me. While waiting for the rest to prepare, i saw Jessica looking very sad and was crying. Though she's in drama, i know that she's a very cheerful person and it really hurt to see her cry. Des started tearing and i couldnt control myself too. Later as each of the Committee members gave their speech, i couldnt hold back my tears anymore. Although it's only been 6-7 months since the Year Ones got into EDS, but somehow i feel a sense of familarity with the seniors and i really cant bear to see them step down. Our dance seniors have been so nice, so patient, so caring towards us. They're really awesome seniors. Now that they're stepping down, i cant help but to feel sad as well.

Come to think of it, time really flies. Before i know it, here i am, already in Dunman High School and being part of the EDS Family. Just as i realised my seniors are so marvellous, it's time for them to step down and move on. Honestly, i now understand what people mean when they say we only learn to treasure after we lose something. I now i'll miss my wonderful seniors - Sophia, Yihui, Anthea and so on. They've been so nice. As we exchanged hugs yesterday with Anthea, the scene was so emotional. We just let ourselves cry again. As i hugged Anthea and as she was encouraging us, i was crying so hard i couldnt really hear what she said. But i know, for sure, that all she said was from the bottom of her heart. She was crying as badly as we were. Nothing can describe that scenario. It was just too emotional.

To our Year 4 seniors, be it Dancers, or Drama : We will continue to work hard for the upcoming SYF and EDS NIGHT'09. Though you guys are stepping down and moving on, we'll still remember you and all that you've done for us. We know you'll always be there, supporting us, so we'll not disappoint you. The shirt says it all : I <3>

(Gosh i'm getting emotional again.)
(Will upload the photos asap. I cant find the cable. Moreover i have to go off now to revise for my Japanese CA4 which is tomorrow.)

Once again, I LOVE EDS.
I'm proud to be part of it. :D
PS, Congrats Siyin on taking over Sophia's position of the Chairperson ; Congrats Vanessa for being the new Head of Dance ; Congrats CK for being the next vice-chairperson ; Congrats the rest for your new positions!
I cant stop myself from saying I LOVE EDS!
