'0. Let us start from the end,' he wrote
Well, fuck.
There will be no more Saturdays like those. For those people who wanted to come a week later, well, I'm sorry, there isn't anything on a week later now. For the seniors who told us that this was our year, well, it wasn't, just like it wasn't a year before and the year before that. For ourselves, I suppose it isn't the end of everything. But it is the end of some things. We will move on and improve but, like the bak chor mee stall, some things will always be here, or there, or unchanging. We will remember the process but the glass cabinets in our offices will not.
It was an honour to be able to represent this school against others; it would have been the completion of that honour to say, we are national champions for 2006. That is something we will never be able to say, now, and so this honour remains incomplete.
