有梦有朋友

夜将来临 心灵黯淡时光

那一盏灯 最早为你点亮

当黎明时分 回首长夜漫漫

那一颗星 坚持陪你一晚

在难免有风有雨人生长路上

因为你我会变得更坚强

梦想在左手 朋友是右手

未来才会变得有看头

软弱的时候 我不会低头

多么幸运和你一起走

明天的天空 因为有梦有朋友

心灵的翅膀才能飞得久

有梦有朋友 有汗有笑有泪滴

都会是一生温暖的回忆

有梦有朋友 有笑有泪滴

将是我们温暖的回忆

I never realised the lyrics were written by 李骥 till I copied this just now. A simple message, put across so prettily like a poem. That's what I call good lyrics.

Received an sms from Qi this afternoon whilst working. Even though my darling phone smartly cut off the first half of the message, I could still catch the bottom half of it, and that's perhaps the crux of the message. A call for B+ blood group people to donate blood to a teacher called Mrs Che who has leukemia. Somehow, that line kind of had a paralysising effect on me. Mrs Che? The Biology lecturer? My gut feel said it was, though of course, I was hoping not. A flood of memories came gushing through momentarily. It seemed only yesterday when we sat in the LT, listening to her go on and on during lectures. In fact, I don't remember Mrs Khoo ever lecturing. And the model answers that she made us remember for the A levels, the question that came out during the real exam. The few Bio prac lessons, or rather correction lessons which she took. Despite her occasionally nagginess, I really had a substantial level of respect for her. Here is a teacher who knew what she was teaching and was willing to go the extra mile. Perhaps, I might not even managed the 'A' I got if not for her model answers.

Somehow, I still do not hope that it's true. In any case, whoever does have that particular blood group, ie. B+, please please do offer to contact NJC and perhaps donate blood, yahz? It'll be the greatest piece of news to hear that there's sunshine after the rain.
