As far as i could remember, i've never seen this side of Shi Chang before..
and to think i've actually known him for the past 4 years?
that particular side that he shown today was such a different one..
so much so that i didn't know how to react for that moment.

good sign is that Shi Chang is really opening up to us...
he shared his thoughts.. thoughts that he think of as useless for us to know..
his personal problems too...
i'm glad.
Today, I learnt to understand him more.

And deep down i secretly hope that we won't just be that any other friends that he has.
instead, i hope we can be the ones who will really care and be that group whom he will turn to when he has problems..

To my Dearest Shi Chang,
Perhaps, we might not be of much help when you have problems..
but one thing i can be sure of...
Is that we will all be with you just like how you've been with us when we needed you.
Don't be afraid to share because we'll be willing to be your listening ears.
I'm sure hulbert and jasper will be willing to lend you their shoulders for you to cry on if you ever need it.
Not forgetting... Sir Justin =)))
( you can also have mine if you want =D )
=))) WE ARE ALWAYS HERE.
SMILE !!!!!!!

Meanwhile, can all of you e-mail the Training ICs your rough schedule asap so that we're able to plan the trainings and courses easily. I'll confirm with all of you the date, venue and price of the archery course with you asap. Thks! =)
