4 months for the OT, 4 weeks for the facilitators, 4 days for the participants. 2nd - 5th June was magical, and for these four days to end almost seems like a part of my life ending. Yeah, I'm not ready to let go of these four days. For the past 15 years, 4 months and 17 days, I have never experienced something quite like this.

Honestly, I feel as if I've been cheated by 14th SLC. Agreed it was great, high and all, but I've never felt this kind of connection so strongly to the event. 15th SLC did not have the rumoured to be "the-deciding-factor" that is the foreign participants to "make SLC high", but guess what? The Grand Finale, the culmination of everything that had happened throughout the past four days, the celebration of the SLC spirit, and the continuation of this event's resounding success, was the most high, the most exciting and definitely the BEST Grand Finale I've ever seen. sorry 14th OT, you just didn't make that great an impact.

[FAC]ulty is, I guess, the thing that changed my life, and my whole 15th SLC experience. Throughout the 4 weeks we were together, we transformed from strangers into - I dare venture to say - one family. What would have happened if SLC was 4 weeks ago would definitely not have had been the same. Facilitators would have been still stuck in their own cliques and schools, and nothing would have been accomplished.

But here we are now, at this juncture of the road. None of us are willing to let go I hope, and really, we don't have to. 15th SLC was a resounding success, and testimony to the per[FAC]tion that we as Facs have managed to upkeep. Well done guys! :D

And of course, my beloved Youth Council E, who can forget you? The many colourful and outstanding personalities, as well as a healthy mix of craziness and seriousness, you guys definitely outshone the other Youth Councils, even if it isn't apparent. And I do mean what I said: YOU GUYS KICKED THEIR ASS!

To Shu Shien - Heyy!!! I was initially very apprehensive when approaching you, since you're the only non-HCI facilitator in YC E (I just realised that :O). But we've pulled through, Circini loves you deeply, and I'll never forget you, not only as a facilitator, but also as a friend that I've met and will treasure. Thanks for everything, and all the best in your future endeavours and your O Levels! :D

To Yan Liang - Hello!!! :D Well...what can I say, really? It's kind of hard to say anything, since we're still going to meet eventually in HC. Nevertheless, I would really like to applaud you for what you've managed to accomplish with Velorum. Velorum, as I can see, has really grown together, and will most likely stay as close friends. And you know what? It wouldn't have been possible without you. Great job! (:

To Chuan Yu - My GOD! I really would like to thank you for everything you've done in and out of SLC. While you are still my HSC Quartermaster, you didn't use it to climb over me during SLC, and I am tremendously grateful for that (even though I most probably wouldn't have minded all that much). You are really an inspiration to Orionis, and I think that for that, you deserve a big round of applause for the work you've done. Cheers! (:

To YC - CONCEPT MEMBER!!!! Before I move on, Alfred demands to you come for training soon, and I mean really soon. Anyway, chairing the meetings weren't easy I'm sure, but you pulled it off aplomb! To YC E, you are THE greatest Concept and OT Member, so kudos to you and good luck for everything else that is going to come up in your life. :D

Special mention shall now go to Pegasi, the faculty I reliefed once, but still made an impact on me:
You guys were a great bunch, and even though it was only for a day, I would still like to thank you guys for everything and making my day as a facilitator a memorable one (:

SLC has ended in HCI, but it shall never end in our hearts.

That is the true spirit of SLC.
