Went to the Flyer with buddies yinglun, junjie and jeremy. there was zero atmosphere. everyone at the Flyer whipped out their cameras and just videoed the whole thing. hardly any cheering, or people going wild. just mr. su making those weird noises. hahaha. yea but that s what the countdown s for right? just make a fool of yourself. the bangla workers certainly enjoyed themselves, hogging the dancefloor. that s working hard in 2009, playing harder in 2010.
anyways, life s pretty stale. recent events.. hmm not much of a big deal. movies!! i only watched one. Sherlock Holmes last year. not bad, liked the smartness and the action. yea apart from that, i just stoned my life away. helped my aunt play some mahjong and that s probably my only income. but it s really good money. sit there and enjoy the entertainment throughout the night, and it works for nightbirds like me. the others are already half dead, or anger levels hitting sky high and just cant let the tiles do the talking. the only drawback is, i m blogging at this time of the night. can only sleep at 5am.
met up with lois and yong pin to get gabriel s stuff to cover his head and sent him off soon after dinner at Wakami? Watari? ah some Jap restaurant at Central. then went for a drink at clark quay. money just thrown down the gullet within seconds. ouch! i can gurantee you wont find me there often.
been training everyday either for NS or soccer. just had 2 matches, 1 official 1 training match. beat Reddy City 6-2. i loved the performance. the defence was good. was reading the team blog and realised how much we have grown. physically and mentally and cohesiveness. physically, dun have to say, can see la. sji buddies all grown from scrawny kids to musclemen. mentally, the thought processes, the way we think, the way we blogged, the way we settled disputes. cohesiveness. that s the main thing. read the top, "Established in 2006". That s almost 4 years. we have seen players come and go, the ex members list is getting longer and longer, but look at the current squad. the core is always there. these are the people who will stick with you through thick and thin. they are the ones who share your joy and sorrows and grow up with you. they are the ones who make fun of you, but you know and they know it s all in the name of fun. it s a fellowship. it s a brothership. wonderful bunch of guys i have here. from the times we kicked balls at the back of the class, hid in the classroom and got screwed by the HOD, got chased out by the old man at Dempsey, stranded at the furniture shop due to the downpour, got thrashed 5-0 and became a laughing stock, had slippers and shoes stolen at the chalet, played cards throughout the night, covered your ass when you missed the ball and cheered for you when you finally did something right. these are the ones. Chien Ming, Shawn, Ying Lun, Jun Jie, Zi Xiang, Reuben, Jeremy, Christopher, and yes you Ting Soon. you too. partners in crime, brothers for life.
aww. got me all emotional. was clearing my room the other time and stumbled upon stuff from NCC. the admin stuff, my own shooting targets, relay systems, and letters. letters from my partmates and the kiddos. while the bonds between the part wasnt that strong, it was still some good time reminiscing. and time i will look forward to in my next 2 years. what s there to fear in army? the kiddos. haha, they write some inspirational stuff too. well wishes for O level, words of thanks and encouragement and crap that was still worth smiling for. it made me look back and think, hell yea, i couldnt have done any better, i would still do the same if i turn back time. i wouldnt knock them down still, i would still teach all the drills and songs, maintain the tradition, and let them know everything i knew. that s the problem with SJI. they give you the chance to be moulded by others and let you mould others. everyone is a leader and a man for others. no regrets.
track chalet last week before the match. it was.. uncomparable to the previous one of course. just touch rugby, soccer, soaking in the pool, dinner at Carls, cards all night, 1 hour of wink, and Mac breakfast. that s it. ah well. tim's farewell, waited for peeps and went late. it was erm kinda disappointing but oh well again.
ok, enough of looking back for the time being. time to look forward. Bintan trip coming up! hope to have even better time with my buddies!
you are busy,
always always so busy.
