so much for notes on a greener island.

on hindsight, BMTC has really taught me quite a bit. It was a place that showed me my limits, opened my eyes to new people and interesting situations. It was there where I learnt independence, courage to overcome fears, to look out for others and to draw strength from them. In that place, I saw the most beautiful sunset, and the most vast array of stars ever in my life so far. Because of BMT, I have learnt to treasure every little thing that comes my way, because in those little things hope was found, a hope that one day life will be nice again.

Take care, friends from all places. I wiill miss you guys a lot. We came, we saw, and we rocked Tekong.

But... we really don't want to go back there, don't we? :)
