Because They Meant

Mum rings up

"Tan Yee, Sze Hui Jeje (cousin) is coming back this Saturday and will be back in Singapore on Sunday. Do you have anything you wanna ask her to bring for you?"

"Sure, get me the shirt with V-shape collar with the word "Ohana" printed on it.

Erm...I think there is my name printed on the sleeve as well, but I am not sure whether it is on the right or left sleeve, just check for me."

"Ok, why do you want to bring that shirt? You don't want to get any other better shirt other than a school activity shirt?"

"Ya, I just want that shirt if the hand carry doesn't allow Sze Hui Jeje to carry so much items at once."

"Alright then. Take care my boy"

"Sure, mum. Bye"

"Bye bye"

Currently I am away from my hometown

A place where I grown up

Where my fond memories are

Sometimes meaningful things can keep you sane

Makes you feel warmth especially those which really means

From left is the Kuching High Red Crescent Camp 2008 camp tee

It was my first experience to organise a state level camp

A camp where I learned to be attentive and organised

I missed the time when I worked up with my team

Especially those who are really potential and capable

Like Fabian, Shirley, Daniel, Pauline, Kelly and Yun Hui

Those people were really impressive during the camp

Whenever I recall the scene of the camp

I am always proud of myself and my friends

Which I think we really made impossible possible

It was a successful camp for me

Second piece from left is The Ohana Camp 2008 camp tee

The first thing that appears in my mind

Is the name Esther Tan

She was the first friend who left the earliest

By the end of year 2008

The aim at which I insisted for this camp

Was to gather all closet friends

To organise a farewell for her

All committees were very cooperative

At which making this camp running at its ease

Credit to the same people as stated above

Although years had passed

The time when we gathered at Damai chalet on the night 17th November 2008

Under the activity "We Will Never Forget You"

Is a memory that can hardly be erased

I handled this main program personally

I sincerely hope that scene is still vivid in everyone of us who had attended it

Especially for Esther =)

First from right is the Shirt Of Six

This is the first own made shirt I have in form 2

That was a good time when I met up some greatest friends I ever had in my life

Hong Khai, me, Fiona, Kiki, Hui Yin, Chia Yin

I still can remember the strongest friendship chain was during our time in class 2A1

When we all had the project done together in a group

And we always visited one and another house to chat and to complete work

It was a good time being together with all of them

Second from right is 5S1 class tee

I think this is the most perfect artwork I had done on a t shirt

I certainly love this shirt so much as well as the quote

I was inspired by the colours of rainbow after a heavy downpour in an evening

The wonderful seven colours made the connections in my brain to meet at the right time

And here it was born

"Unparalleled Intermixture brings Infinite Possibilities"

This was the best quote I could ever thought of

-

Because they all meant

That is the reason why I am willing to sacrifice part of my lovely fashion collection

But to get these four pieces of shirts in Singapore

They might look ordinary or meaningless or even ugly to others

But certainly it was a priceless treasure for me

By the time when the design was inspired

By the time when the shirt was printed

By the time when I put it on my body

They had melted as part of the soul

A memory that last by the devastation of time

The shirts are loves from everyone
