and those flames which lit up the atmosphere of the night brought the curtain down on a wonderful 5 days of orientation. they represented the passion of our batch, what we stood for and how we could unite in the true meaning of the word 'O'Tiero'. there surely is much more to come, for us to await, in the next two years. for now though, it's over. all that are left are memories.

Looking back, these past 5 days came and went all too quickly. Even though they were tiring and long days, each step of the way was surely meaningful and worth it. I really don't think I'll trade this experience for anything, because not only was it enjoyable, it also taught me lessons as a person.

MT01 O'rbiquack & OGLs, thanks for everything.

& I really feel the best way to sum everything up is our batch song. These lyrics really encompass all our hopes, dreams, fears, connections and experiences. Really, right now, everything truly seems like it was just yesterday.

When We Look Back - Batch Song 2009

Wasn't it just yesterday
I couldn't find the words to say
To fill the empty silence
To break the awkward moments

A little smile and laughter shared
A friendship sparked because you cared
This path we tread won't be smooth
But together we will pull through

Walking hand in hand, heart to heart, joining voices to sing and dance
When I start this song, you'll sing along, and we can just go on and on and on

When we look back, will we remember
Each moment of this year?
The days that mark our time in here
Threaten to disappear

All that we have's the present
To cherish while we can
Seizing every chance we're blessed with
And leave with no regrets

Took a firm step in this place
Wishes, hopes, we're in a daze
The cold walls are taunting
Just where's the warmth within?

Whenever you call my name
Across the corridor
The madness of chasing dreams
Doesn't matter anymore

Walking hand in hand, heart to heart, joining voices to sing and dance
When I start this song, you'll sing along, and we can just go on and on and on

When we look back, will we remember
Each moment of this year?
The days that mark our time in here
Threaten to disappear

All that we have's the present
To cherish while we can
Seizing every chance we're blessed with
And leave with no regrets

Rough winds only bring us higher
Tough fights only make us stronger
Yet knowing we've got one another
We'll stick together more than ever
Yeah...

When we look back, will we remember
Each moment of this year?
The days that mark our time in here
Threaten to disappear

All that we have's the present
To cherish while we can
Seizing every chance we're blessed with
And leave with no regrets

When we look back, will we remember
Each moment of this year?
The days that mark our time in here
Threaten to disappear

All that we have's the present
To cherish while we can
All the friends we've made we won't forget
We'll leave with no regrets
This two years no regrets
This two years no regrets.
