all my pretty ones

all my pretty ones?
did you say all?

macduff in macbeth did not name them all
as i attempt

m who writes a lot took time off to pass off as an korean actress while not lamenting on dreams or the lack of, no., it wasn't a statement or an epitaph, computer crashed
k who came in a distracting tube, you can say that again, a distracting tube
angeline who taught me how to smile- 'you just look at your friends and smile from your heart', very beauty pagent like advice delivered in a heartfelt manner
jamieko with an exceptional sparkle in her eyes who declared 'i'm a present' in her black tube dress with a bow on the bust
sze lee, gorgeous in a sea of calm, peace and decorum, take it slow kid, make your own choices, not what others make of you
weizhen, jetaime, the other angeline- the devil, aishah...

you see, i can't name you all
and the boys

before the prom, a few of them followed me in the morning to collect their courseworks, one guy from technical studies that i hardly know
after moving the works to the 4th level, we just sat down and chatted
kr said she's missed the artroom
they didn't really want to go at once
we were talking about what to wear and stuff
i wasn't that keen to go at first but i wanted to see them

at the prom, when i remarked to kr that i actually got past the psychogical hurdle of facing the camera and... smile, she said i should give myself a round of applause
thanks to kr and subsequent people who asked me to take pictures
'as long as you don't post it on friendster or myspace'
the one i took with jinlong was most natural by the time
something about them, the realness and sincerity, put me at ease and make me want to try for them
they must be a gift
to allow me another perspective of life
most of the times, they are more matured and down-to-earth than me
thank you, guys, for your friendship
it was so good to see everyone again
