NB: I am writing in response to Bec's post.. I have decided to come out of hiding. Usually I just wait until my inbox is filled up with messages from wdctia..haha

It has been more than a year since I have posted on this blog. Partly due to the fact that I am too indolent to play with my words but largely because I never have anything constructive to say. I really do not think that my capricious ramble can be regarded as 'perfectly written', but in saying so, I am extremely flattered that you think that way Bec (:

You all know me for my yearly dedications, I assume. Why I do so? I think it's because I feel obligated to take the time to thank each and every one of those people who have been there to support me, and at the same opportunity, to apologise to those whom I have insulted/belittled/wronged.

During the year, we are subject to all sorts of pressures and hardship. We tend to get caught up in the daily grind and forget to look beyond these trivial afflictions. We become impulsive, irritable and impatient - our emotions run wild. As a result, the way in which we react and respond to people and situations, may not be our finest moment. To protect our pride and ego, we fail to express our remorse.

This year has been no exception. With the onslaught of the big bad HSC, I may have been even more fiery and impetuous than usual. I know that I have hurt and caused distressed to some and I am sincerely regretful of my actions. You all know who you are and I am thankful we have overcome such childish behaviour. Thank you for putting up with me and for forgiving the past.
Cheers to a rekindled friendship.

However, there has been some good to be extracted from this disheartening time. HSC has brought me closer to a few of you and I am greatly indebted to these people whom I have laid countless of hours of ranting on, who have had to push me to proceed in my ventures and for just being there, being you when I needed encouragement the most. Thank you does not even begin to describe the gratitude I have for you.
I love you all very much <3

Finally, a message to all of ANA. Do you all remember my first and only previous post about navigating those once uncharterd waters, namely the big bad HSC? We have all come a long way from preliminary year and I just want to say, I am honestly extremely proud of everyone for withstanding such harsh times. In regards to your relationship with me, some of you belong to the former, attritional description while others are part of the latter, a more benevolent expression from me. But now those categories don't mean anything anymore. From where I stand, we have emerged from year12 as a 'group' again and I hope that we will be able to retain this current stance.
Best of luck to a bigger, brighter and better future ANA!

Lots of love,
Angela
