Pressure from the publisher has left LD with no choice but to publish this post prematurely. Apologies to the people whose name should have appeared here but got left out in some way or another. Worry not – another 10 months or so and your chance will come again!

Yes, everyone is doing it so LD feels obliged to do one too. Due to his limited vocabulary abilities, he is unable to comprehend why it is called ‘dedications’ since he has always felt that dedications refer to the songs you select to dedicate to a particular person. Hence, he shall call it ‘closing speech’. Yes, so formal.
In no particular order:
1. GM
Firstly, LD would like to thank GM for being the host in this parasitic relationship. Thank you for all the help you have rendered to LD, without which you will be LD’s senior next year as he would be retaking all his Year 4 modules. Secondly, thank you for being a close friend and living on the same island (insider joke) as LD else his life will be boring and lonely. Being with GM is very fun as there is always someone for LD to talk to except when GM is deep in thoughts. Please remember the bet and save up more money because LD wants to go for ala carte food instead to make GM bankrupt. Lastly, when talking to LD, please remember the unbreakable vow that Stella has made or else GM will be losing a course mate soon!
2. Stella Toh
Stella has become more slack this year, presumably under the extremely negative influence of enemy Jonathan who has not only brought Stella over to the dark side but also converted her to be a mean person! It’s 3 years of friendship and counting but even if LD and Stella end up in different classes next year, they must remain good friends! Perhaps Stella should take the initiative to make an unbreakable vow? Thanks for putting up with LD’s childish-ness (although LD thinks he is fairly mature) and all the outings in the earlier part of the year. Stella can have the honour of planning outings for next year! Everyone’s looking forward to it, no?
3. Jerdine
3 years and counting of friendship too! Jerdine is not just a best friend but also a comrade to LD! Don’t worry too much about this year’s grades and just work hard for next year! LD hopes Jerdine can get into medicine school too so that he will continue to have a comrade to last through all the ‘F’s in quizzes, tests and exams. Thank you for waiting with LD for the arrival of the parents and lamenting about anything and everything under the sun! Even if LD and Jerdine are in different class, Jerdine must remember to not get influenced into changing like Stella did – best friends until we die.
4. Whai Peng
LD and Whai Peng only started talking to each other at the start of the year. Although the catalyst is unclear, LD attributes it to his reliance on GM’s vast knowledge library and the proximity between the two islands (insider joke again) which resulted in the islands eventually merging and the formation of this friendship! Although it has only been one year, this one year has been fun-filled with good memories. It’s good to think but do remember to take things easy! Thank you for all the encouragement and tolerance towards LD’s incessant boasting of his really good Japanese as well as all the little talks during English, Chinese, Math, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and mentoring sessions! While being in the same class will be near impossible, remember to keep in touch! After all, students get unlimited SMS with StarHub’s student plan! Good luck for the upcoming roadshow’s sales!
5. Yihui
As Yihui has rightly mentioned, it’s 4 years of being in the same class but separation is certain due to the apparent disparity in academic capacity. Nevertheless, continue to do well in your full honours course! Apologies for the unnecessary comment – Yihui will do well irregardless, no? Thanks for all the little chats we had and also for being the other big brain in the class – it was fun being in the mentor group despite having changed a total of 4 mentors in the course of 4 years!
LD is seriously considering ending the post at this point as he has been reaffirmed that he is a loner with few friends to the extent that he cannot even thank people for anything trivial. However, he shall press on… …
