Dear WJ,

I was checking out a song (情歌 – 梁静茹) on YouTube and upon the end of the MV, I just felt like writing to you cos the ending scene of going back school and seeing the room just made me smile like the female actress when I think of D&T’s classroom.

Thank You for being a friend to me when I was in Sec 1 and 2.

For befriending me when I was ostracized by others for me such a fatty. For being a friend to me when I needed someone to talk to. For accepting me for who I am, no matter if you treated me like a brother or sister. For helping me with my temperamental computer when I asked you to. (I still remember you saying that a computer acts up similar to its user and I just have to tell you that my computer is really even tempered these days!) even though you nagged at me for this and that, you still helped me with my computer and I thank you for it. I seriously think that I don’t looked anything like a girl at that time. haha, I looked more like a king kong then? I still have our D&T photo when we went for some science centre trip and I just laugh out loud. I was so huge compared to the whole club, like an overgrown giant, especially besides WeeShan.

Do you know at that time, I often wondered if your primary school crush’s name is not Wan Rong, will we still be friends at that time? Sometimes, it’s quite a joke isn’t it? but if this same name was the one that joined us together, I’m happy that my mum changed my name to Wan Rong when I started primary 1.

Going to D&T club was always a joy to me maybe because I didn’t get along with my own class people and I enjoyed working under guidance of Mr Kwang and Mr Sim. Of course, the session got better with you, wee shan, ruiping, shinta and linda. Sometimes rite, I wonder if linda likes you le, or else, how come she’s always at loggerheads with you ah? Haha, or did you reject her and that’s why she’s so against you?

But I think my crush on you all started with the TKK young inventors’ award where you stood with me, against linda. There was some issue about the project sent in and you agreed to support me to fight for my rights of the project. I guess the crush started then cos you’re the first guy to support me in wat I’m doing besides my dad. For that, I’m truly grateful to you. from then on, we sort of got closer in terms of chatting on phone, so I got to know about your primary sch crush, etc.

To me, it was a nice experience of liking someone and I never wanted you to know cos I was sure at that time it’s gonna be out-right rejection. I was happy that we can chat and go out for food once in a while.

I still recall once when we went out to eat, you asked me if a girl keeps calling a guy, does it mean the girl likes the guy? if I didn’t remember wrongly, I didn’t give an answer cos I thought if I said yes, you would know I liked you then and you may start avoiding me, making friendship impossible. So after that question, I didn’t call you for quite some time and I thought you may have known it but didn’t say anything. But if you still didn’t know anything til today, haha, I guess it’s expected ya? I’m the only one who’s thinking too much. :p

At the age of 18, I felt like writing to you just to let you know since we’re no longer in the same school and therefore, there’s no awkwardness on either of us since we’re not exactly seeing/contacting each other. But in the end, I didn’t cos I think 18 is still a very tender age? My face skin was still rather thin then. But now, I’m 25, with 7 more yrs of dead skin cells on my face so I don’t feel embarrassed anymore and I just felt that I should thank you for the wonderful memories I had among those terrible ones (from choir and class) that I had at that time.

Once again, thank you for everything and I hoped that you’ve met a girl who’ve touched your heart and you’re working hard for your career. Stay healthy alright? We should come out for tea someday when you’re comfortable to see me.

Cheers,
Wan Rong
