Here is an amazing chainmail that has arisen because of ONE person's heartfelt email. We hope that everyone who reads this will gain in one way or another, just like we have.
TANIA:
Hey batchmates! (:Okay..I feel somewhat compelled to send this email after today's PLC. Basically what happened today probably wasn't a really major problem, and yeah the Sec4s this year probably got screwed as well last year. I guess to us it felt like "We tried our best, but our best is not enough yet.". That's how I felt. Actually I think we're all doing a really good job now! And it feels REALLY REALLY good to know that we are starting/already have been supporting each other more and more especially this year. (: Remember the times you covered up for your batchmate, when you were rushing out proposals till late at night and getting "jiayous!" and "don't worry, you can always ask us for help!" or even ":D!!!", packing logistics together before CCA and fretting together? I mean, it's not like we're going to step down already so soon, but if you look back we've actually come a really long way. And whether or not we were once strangers, ! we wouldn't have managed to come this far as a batch ,caring and for e ach other and being so understanding without the LOVE and ENCOURAGEMENT from everyone right! :D ...hmm. HAHA alright I'm sorry I admit I don't know what to say after thinking for 10 min. I thought I had a lot on my mind when I started this email though. :/ But anyway, this is just a note to tell all of you that I really appreciate all of you for everything that we've done for each other. 've been having sudden surges of love recently for some reason. Hahaha. And NO, I am not turning into something weird in case any of you are thinking right now. ._____. We can continue to do better and better starting from tomorrow onwards so JIAYOU EVERYONE! Okay I shall give all of you a flying hug through hotmail haha.
(HUGS) :D

CHARMAINE:
that was so sweet Tania!! ;D yeah we're really getting more and more bonded ever since we sort of stepped into the role of being seniors. It's kind of wierd right now when the juniors are all looking towards us to guide them, then sometimes I feel super blur when I don't know how to answer them >.<>
loves,Charmaine!!
PING ZHENG:
THANK YOU TANIA I FEEL SO WARMMMMMMMMMM/TOUCHED HEHEHE. SUDDEN SURGES SHOULD BE ME HAHAHA. "I LOVE YOU BATCH MATES" will remain on my pm, prolly for a lonnnnnnnngggggg time. and i really doooo!! (: EVERY ONE OF U ^^ I remember being really -.-ish/blur at guides when i was in sec1/a 'little at sec 2, but somehow i feel CLOSER to everyone after going through everything so far. I figured (but abit slow) it should be because we're all caught up with school work and new classes/classmates, but batchmates remain the same, always there! for every one of us! And somehow I'm able to approach anyone of y'all for help and you peeps never fail to cheer me up/support me! Esp. before SportsFiesta when I got a bit stressed here and there, then I could totally feel all the "JIAYOU"s in my head and that really gave me the strength/courage to push on!!! YAY. BTW I tagged on the tagboard not long ago too! THANK YOU EVERYONE(: Also, THANKS TANIA/SIHUI FOR WESTDIVISIONHERITAGETRAILTRIALRUN that day. Hahaha must have been tough on yall so if yall need help can tell us k!! Appreciate the intricate planning and all that you've done!! JIAYOU ALL FOR ACTUAL DAY! (sorry i don't mean to stress you two out hahaha) but that's something we can look forward to, to prove to everyone we can do it rightrightright!!! Left. omg sry not funny. So, I believe we all can do it!!!!! YAY such an exclaimationmark-sy email.
<3 very much,Pingzheng
KAHMUN:

MEISHAN:
HELLO EVERYONE! heh i was still thinking whether i shld reply to this but since so many ppl replied, i shall reply too! hey tania i really do feel sudden surges of love for the batch . haha really! recently i often feel that nanyang guides is so cool and so zai man. but seriously, guides is so cool and interesting and i bet those ppl out there wont learn as much things as we do, correct? its like, will they know how to organise a heritage trail? will they know how to organise a camp? Blahblahblah. so, we are really great! ha(: yeah and i think you guys are great batchmates .i feel that our batch has improved and we will continue improving right! yeah! and most imptly, support each other and we surely surely surely can do ! it! woo i feel like i am writing a motivational speech.heh ok BATCH07 GO GO GO ~ I LOVE YOU ALL! so touching rite! (:
-meishan(:
EVIE:
Oh my goodness! You guys are so cute. It's like chain email of confession for our love for guides and our batchmates. Thank you for everyone for the support during SPORTS F!ESTA, when our proposal came really late and ping zheng, thanks for doing so much and sleeping so late just to do it. Anyways I believe we can go a long way and we can be good seniors for the sec 1s and 2s juniors to look at. I think what we need is a common goal. Maybe we should have more gathering and batch talking sessions. :D Then we can plan out how strict and how fun we want to be. (: I think what mei shan said is pretty true. when I tell others my cca is girl guides they got that expression on their face. But if you tell them you are in NCC or NPCC their facial expression might be even gross. so don't worry. we can prove to others that guides is so fun and everyone in guides LOVE one another. haha (: all the best for gadget making tmr. hopefully our gadget works. Thanks everyone for helping to pack logistics. :D Love EVERYONE (: I couldn't function without all your support.
evie.

huimin
MICHELLE:
Thanks to Tania for sending this email <3 It really shows how much we have grown over the years, from blur, innocent secones to sec threes who have taken over the company and will be having their elections in (less than) 2 weeks.
Somehow words can't really explain how I feel, but here's a shoutout to everyone, hope it's adequate:
I LOVE YOU ALL! <3 You guys have been my pillar(s) of support for the past 2 and a half years, always providing me with a shoulder to cry on and lending me a ear so I can rant. I think this transcends all the other unhappy things that have happened between us (:
I'm really sorry for all the times I have been horrible. Flaring up at you guys, quarrelling, getting irritated and pissed at each other, and what not. I know I haven't been the most wonderful batchmate ever, and I want to extend my apologies to everyone whom I've offended, knowingly or unknowingly, and I hope you guys won't bear any grudges against me and let the unhappy memories be erased from our memories, never to be brought up again.
Thank you every single one of you, especially during these past few weeks. We've all been extremely busy these past few weeks, especially to the OICs and AICs of the CCA session and West Division Day. THANK YOU for sacrificing your precious time to plan and work hard for the CCA and helping us to move forward as one.
Okay I am becoming incoherent, which is bad. I shall stop because I may end up rambling. Anyway, I hope that we'll continue to work together to bring nanyang guides to greater heights and improving the standard of nygg (: We can do it! :D Don't be disheartened by setbacks, because we'll learn through these; we'll grow. It's alright to make mistakes, because we'll always help e ach other cover up and move forward (:
L.O.V.E! <3
Michelle
PS Huimin your reply was super touching! (: Never taught you felt that way (: Thanks for always making us laugh and what not :D
CHER YEE:
Wow wow wow. Seriously, everybody is like confessing their LOVE for Guides and batchmates. Haha. Actually, I had thanked Tania alr but I decided I shall send everybody another email.. Haha. :D Unlike most of you, I had LOVE-d GUIDES ever since Sec 1. I dun understand y actually. I think it's super duper fun and prob bcos of YOU-KNOW-WHO. Yeahh. :) Yeahh. I agree, whn I say I'm in Guides, ppl gave me THAT look. I guess everybody here wld hav experienced it. But I say it with pride cos I know I love NYGG and the people inside. Yes, we shall work tgt more often and plan out a CCA that is both fun and strict! No matter what happens (Ms Teng or seniors scolding us), I know we will stick tgt as a batch and comfort each other! To speak of the truth, I find batchmates easier to speak to thn classmates or friends. I usually tell my xin shi to batchmates rather thn to classmates. Hehs. Mayb cos we are tgt for 4 yrs that's y. I have to agree with Si Hui. Yes, I realized that we learnt a lot of things from NYGG. Learning how to lead, learning the importance of the sense of urgency, learning alot of different skills has helped me ALOT in many ways. From some incidents, I realized how important were the things that I learnt in guides. (For eg, for my LA SIA, I screened the movie Madagascar. Rmb? Haha nvm. When I realized that we left several minutes b4 the start of recess, I started to hurry. I realized that the sense of urgency was essential so that the screening of the movie wld start whn recess started. That's y I was super pissed whn my group mates were just idling thr waiting for the things to b done.) Haha. Yeahh. So let's JIAYOU and lead the company well!!! :D:D:D
CYTHE NYGG-LOVER P.S. Let's put 'BATCHMATES ARE LOVE!!!' as our PM ok? :D
SHERYL:
HAHA. all this sudden surges of love remind me of another song's lyrics, the chorus, to be exact!
郭富城 - 对你爱不完
對你愛愛愛不完
我可以天天月月年年到永遠
So We Love Love Love Tonight
不願意絲絲點點些些去面對
對你愛愛愛不完相愛原本總是這麼難 !
fantizi is soooooo NICE!
HAHAHA. ok, that was random.
to start off, HELLO:D
i replied to these e-mails not only because more people did but also because i wanted to! the long chains of 'reply to all' emails started off with Tania, this really shows that if one of our batchmates start something, the rest of us will support her. BATCH SUPPORT! :D & yeah, like everyone said: NYGG.BATCH'07 has gotten a lot more closer! we love each other one another more and its a GOOD thing. its the right kind of love anyways. We survived being in UG for 3 years. & now, we appreciate/love it. Besides, UG pushes us a lot, not many CCAs out there can. leadership, the stronger character and bonds form and all. & AHAHAHAHHAHA, i don't really know but when all of you who went OBS, did you guys totally miss the rest of our batch? if we could, i really wished we could all go OBS(not s'pore) again sometime soon together. ok, so now our batch is deeply in love with one another. i hope we can pass the 'loving guides' feeling to our juniors. anyways, JUST A BIG SHOUT OUT TO EVERYONE TO JIAYOU. i heard so many jiayous in Nanyang that my life has been full of jiayous. just a single word, smile, laughter makes hell lot of difference! its just contagious! though i know ATC'09 gonna be super hard to plan and all but i'm actually looking forward to it!Batch'07, i wonder how we're gonna leave our mark in our very own ATC?
H1N1, shoooooooooooooooo! so that we can plan an unforgettable ATC'09! :D
BATCH PJs!
byebye!

AURELIA:
Hello everyone. I... Don't really know what to say now but I'd just like to say this. In this chain email we've all been confessing our love for guides, and I guess that what has progessed really is beautiful. But right now I just feel really bad because I know I haven't been giving my best effort in helping you guys out, and this love for guides that each of you has probably has its limits too. For each one of you I know I may or may not be included within your limit, and I just want to say I'm really really sorry about that. What I'm trying to say is, I know I haven't been a good batchmate to all of you, and I've done many things that I'm ashamed of. And in these past emails we've been reliving the memories spent together, and I realised that I wasn't part of many of them. I'm sorry if this sounds emo or whatever, but now that I see our batch has grown so much closer I really hope that I can be part of it too. Sorry for not helping out as I should have, and not being there to support you guys when you needed it. I'm especially sorry to ping zheng and the rest of the ICs of sports fiesta!! So... Sorry to each and every one of you, for not having been fulfilling my responsibilities as a batchmate/IC/friend!! But now even if I may not be included in your limit, I really want to say that you are included in mine.It has not been easy trying to type this email, but I'm pretty sure it was worth it. Aurelia.

And now, i shall be the 14th!(: Heh, like what everyone had mentioned, we have grown tremendously together as a batch! Indeed, we were not that close in the past two year! s, somewhat like strangers. I remembered how uninterested and unwillin g I was, not only frequently complaining about guides, but also having the idea of changing ccas! BUT BUT BUT now, the past is the past, and I'm glad that I have decided to stay on:D Not just because of the CCA itself, but because of the friendship! Heeeee, I really treasure and appreciate every single one of you out there!! THANK YOU! FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE GIVEN ME: SUPPORT, ENCOURAGEMENT, LOVE, FRIENDS HIP AND MANY MANY MORE!:D Although I have not been a good batchmate at times, like being the blur and inflexible game marshal that hui er was talking about, but i REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY THANK ALL OF YOU, and also LOVE ALL OF YOU VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY MUCH!!:D hehe. eeeeeee! ee I donno what to say already, but I'm glad that this is longer than what I expected to write.

VANESSA:
I really want to thank all of you for your support all these while, without which none of us could have successfully planned a CCA. We were funloving, bonded only when we were having fun, but it's evident that we're starting to bond while working as well now! :D Jiayou for future CCA sessions batchmates! LOVE!

WEI QI:
Hi everyone! i just wanted to say thank you:) Thank you for your surges of love message! they are all so touching!:) and thank you for helping me all these three years:D And i just thought that i should confess too. Actually, even in sec3 i still feel very blur blur. But all these are not the point. I like cca because all of you make everything so much easier to bear with:D i dont know if you thought about batch'07 during OBS, but during OBS, i was like wishing i was with you guys rather than my class. Not that my classmates are horrible or anything, but they are just not batchmates!:DD Thanks a lot for whatever you have done for me(: i know i havent exactly been the best batchmate around, but i can say that all of you have been the best batchmates to me so thanks a lot! I love you guys!!!:)
-weiqi
In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you(guys)
