++ As We Go On. ++
Somewhen 3 years ago, I became a student of Singapore Polytechnic.
I felt lost for no one I knew was here, a man in an unknown land.
But then, I thought. Who wasn't? Everyone was new to one another.
Break-time came and everyone went off. Lonely me had to go alone.
Far away, a guy with weird hairdo, someone with curls on his head,
He was alone too, so I went over and said, "Hey what's your name?
Wanna go for lunch?" With an overly-excited voice, he said "Sure."
And from that moment, we became friends. Good mates. Even buddies.
Then a hobbit joined in, shorter he might seemed. He was popular.
I remember everytime we were heading to classes, he'll disappear.
Friends everywhere. Popular kid he is. Maybe cos it's the height.
Then another came along, a guy with piercing just below the lips.
A taller kid, those equipped with packet of smokes and a lighter.
Second year, he chosed CG over 3D, so we're in different classes.
Then, there is this skinny boy, who likes to jump and run around.
I recalled, there is one day, he slipped and fall off the stairs.
Blood flows. Serve him right. See if he dares to repeat it again.
There were times we talked and joked and even quarrelled so loud,
the whole FC6 was staring at us. The five of us. Its embarassing.
There were times we baked, cookies that is, and made a huge mess,
I remembered because you all turned my mum's kitchen upside-down.
There were times we worked together, trying to work out projects,
even though we didn't manage to complete it, we had fun doing it.
Those were the times when we played together and fought together.
Our final year projects was tedious with lots of trials and errors.
We didn't give up and we continued and we encouraged one another.
In a blink of an eye, it all passed, we were putting on our gown,
combing our nicest hair. The time came when we set foot on stage,
shook their hand and get our 3 years of hard-earned certificates.
We have graduated and I know we won't be seeing each other as much.
So if you're reading this right now, I'm wishing you all the luck,
all the hope, all the faith and all the best for your future paths.
Our film name is called "Brothers". Maybe it's not because of them,
not the idea nor story plot, not the characters nor the designs,
it is us. It's always been us. This road has forged us a deep bond,
an unforgettable relationship, and I'm honoured to be with you all.
Brothers we were, and forever shall be.
