Hey 103, charis here.

I know that me leaving must have come as a pleasant surprise – oh I mean rude shock, to you guys (or girls as everyone constantly reminds me); hope you’re not going to throw some party or something after I leave haha jkjk

This letter was meant for the following people:

To Aish, thank you (: 103 would not be complete without you
To Rebecca & Valerie, thanks for making my experience here truly unforgettable
To Durk(a), thanks for helping make my year in RGS a memorable one
To Yuqing, thank you for helping bring 103 to where it is today
To Yujia, thanks; you’re one of those people who keep me humble
To Rachel, thank you so much for everything you’ve done in 103 and in my life

To caethrin, thanks for being my first - unofficial but still very good - guitar student
To utthra, thank you for being a great mortal while the angel-mortal system lasted

To miru, thank you for being solid spontaneous entertainment
To kayyuen and jiahui, thank you for lighting up my life whether quietly (in the former’s case) or uh otherwise (in the latter’s case)
To abirami, thanks a lot for being a wonderful fellow guitarist (:
To limmin, thanks for being the cutest ever maths genius. F is for friends who do stuff together, U is for you and me and N is for never forgetting you & the rest of 103 (:
To Gina, thanks for making my time behind you a hilarious one! You’re awfully adorable, awfully funny, and a great guy
To Julnise & Hai Qing, thanks for being the best vice-chairs any class could ever have
To lavanya, thank you dear for adding a pleasant melodious voice to all the noise in the ever chaotic classroom
To Zerline & Sheryl, thanks you two for bearing with me and all my crap during group work, and always doing it in an endearing manner
To Adrea, thanks for being the bestest lab partner!! You’re the one who makes my chem and physics lessons in the lab BEARABLE – and trust me, without me next to you and rashvin next to tian yu, 103 would not ever have to have chem lessons ever again
To rosie, thanks for being such a llama-like friend, someone I could always count on to amuse me with exasperation at my lack of ticklishness…go figure
To tianyu, THANKS A LOT FOR ALWAYS ACING MATHEMATICS AND MAKING EVERYONE ELSE FEEL LIKE A FAILURE. YES, I COULDN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH.
To stuffy, thank you so so very much for being the fantabulous class sweeper and always bringing a smile to my face every time I see you sitting at your seat innocently ;)
To kayal, many thanks to you too! Remember we were in charge of the lights during orientation skit? Yes, it was a total failure. But I swear I have enjoyed your company very much since then x)

To Melissa, Rashvin & Shivani…you three never fail to amuse me very much with your antics, be it Melissa climbing me o.O rashvin complaining about tianyu xD or Shivani, well, doing all sorts of stuff that frankly is extremely idiotic but I never get tired of it x))
Thank you guys.
To Parisa…you're a super sweet and super nice girl who always hugs me and yes I do appreciate it haha.
Thank you.
To Isabelle…I just have to thank you for always going home with me and filling me with all your random nonsense. It's very hard to find someone nearly quite as talented as you, so I know I’m very privileged. You almost have me convinced that Christina truly rocks because otherwise she would not deserve such a fan! haha. You’ve been a phenomenal desk partner, and with you around we never seemed to get anything done during group work :D but all the same…
Thanks! (So glad Cheryl stayed in London)
To Nanthini…It’s been a great pleasure knowing you, honest. There’s never been a time I’ve seen you not being nice to someone, at least not being nice to me ;D and well there’s just too much to say, but Nanthini rocks, and that’s the truth (: love you loads!
Thanks. A lot.
To Selina…You have to be the best thing our class has ever decided upon. You’re such an amazing chairperson, and you’re so talented too. It’s you who constantly reminds me I don’t deserve to be going to SOTA, and mind you that’s a good thing :D You treat everyone with a niceness we all don’t deserve. May you continue to shine with that violin and personality of yours. Oh drat. I’m so gonna miss you.
Thank you dear (:
And finally, to Christine, Crystal & Esther…you guys are intolerable, inseparable, indispensible, indescribable, insane, intriguing and uh interesting. Christine you’re so abusive you made an extraordinary desk partner; Crystal it’s been three long years and I feel you’ve changed so much and yet – you’ve hardly changed at all; Esther, continue shining for Christ – I must say not in the arena of singing, but rock on as youth pastor in training LOL The three of you rocked my world so drastically it’s still rocking. love you guys loads and God bless.
Thank you for everything.

And that goes for the rest of the class as well. Sorry for posting such a long post. But I'm afraid it may take some time for me to ever see some of you people again =/ but always remember, even though I'm not in RGS, I'll always remain a 103-er. Forever.

Love much,
your reluctant environmental rep.
