© Ramblings Of The Cafe Family

We are the wonderful Cafe family
When I think back
On these times
And the dreams
We left behind
I'll be glad 'cause
I was blessed to get
To have you in my life
When I look back
On these days
I'll look and see your face
You are there for me

[CHORUS:]
In my dreams
I'll always see you soar
Above the sky
In my heart
There always be a place
For you for all my life
I'll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you'll be

Well you showed me
How it feels
To feel the sky
Within my reach
And I always
Will remember all
The strength you
Gave to me
Your love made me
Make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me

[Repeat chorus]
'Cause I always saw in you
My light, my strength
And I want to thank you
Now for all the ways
You were right there for me
You were right there for me
For always

[Repeat chorus]

Funky Bus Ride

Hey all, haha. Yesterday had an interesting incident on the bus 166. Usually i travels along Alexandra Road and turns into the AYE after that. But this bus over shot the turning, and its a double decker bus. So like the driver continued towards Ikea and like everyone is like starring, "What is happening?" Haha. I was listening to my MP3 and like thought, is this really 166? Or did I take the wrong bus? Anyway, he went up Jalan Bukit Merah and everyone doesn't know what is happening.

Then he made a U-turn somewhere and went back all the way. Cool huh? Made a wrong turn and went on such a detour. First time. Haha. Yeah, anyway, Yen Hao and I went to the NLB @ Bugis. Shwee is right when she said they wasted a lot of space. I guess its all for show and not for the purpose of being a L-I-B-R-A-R-Y. *insert rolling eyes here* We also explored the section of SMU open to the public. There are some interesting pieces of art there, should take time to go and visit guys!

The Cafe family

Us: We came together as a study group under our teacher Mr. Tan Tiong Chuan at Ghim Moh secondary School in 2004. Working towards our "O" Level examinations, we bonded together, often "camping" at Esther's house to study together. Over time, our friendship grew and blossomed, into what we now call the Cafe family. Transformed from the previous Cafe123, we "renamed" ourselves as Cafe Family to relfect our number (5 which is a prime number, that means it's strong!) and our closeness. After leaving secondary school, we spilt into different institutions but our friendship remains strong. Esther is now in ACS (International), Jonathan and Yen Hao in Singapore Polytechnic (SP), Shu Hui in Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP) and Yessita in Republic Polytechnic (RP).
