therefore, the memories that played in my mind were of those sec 1 and sec 2 days. but, homecoming had always been a special event. it used to be so fun, all of us planning and preparing so hard for the day, and working so hard on the day itself trying to sell our products. i definitely saw the same spirit in most of the students there.
i went back with the usual gang; kh yk wl hy. met a few familiar faces like renny jiayang, samuel, jasper... and even senior sebastion and junior lisa. both from choir. but... that leaves us with a lot of people who didn't go back. of coz... most of our teachers are gone, mostly transferred to other schools. so.. i only got to meet ms phan. i saw mrs lim hui hui but didn't manage to talk to her. i saw mrs song too, but shes here visiting the sch with her husband and daughters. i guess shes still attached to the sch/colleagues after transferring out.
the 1st stall we patronised was wl's cousin's class stall. we bought "bubble tea" which tasted quite.. bad.. frankly it tasted like mediocre colored/flavored water with fruit cocktails. but it's ok, its the effort they are putting in for the sch that we must appreciate, not the quality of the drink.
i didn't eat/drink anything else becoz i didn't wan to get my hands dirty/sticky when i'm handling my camera. didn't really hunt as many photos as i planned to, after all i'm with a group of frens who were there for a different purpose.

after the homecoming went to dg to play and eat. met maurice while walking on the street. still looks the same haha. thought he would look different after commissioning.
yk met quite a few frens, and every encounter leads to a 10min conversation that leaves wl hy and i staring around lol.

41 DAYS; COUNTDOWN TO PINK
6th entry; 050209 2240HRS
Having rain in Singapore is nothing surprising. In fact, the opportunity to sleep with a cold raining night gives thrill to most of my friends. But right now, I really wonder how can anyone live in a place that rains, half the day, every day?! Every night after my shower, I have to go through another shower of rain before reaching my bunk. =/
This week seemed to have an interesting trend for me. Work is ending earlier and earlier while last parade is getting later and later. Fortunately I got to use the internet for 10 min today. Not being able to spend quality time chatting with my closed ones sux though... Lets just say I took a quick gasp of air by seeing them virtually.
The book "THINK LIKE A MATH GENIUS" that I bought at the airport on the night of my flight is interesting! You must be thinking "Why spend $20 on a book on Math when you can buy something else that is more beneficial or entertaining to read?!" I don't know but the book sparked some curiosity in me, urging me to grab it. So anyway I've learnt, so far, how to mentally calculate the square of any number up to 100. Amazingly, the mehod originated from the quadratic equation formula of (x+y)(x-y)=x^2 - y^2...
While the amount of time spent working seems to reduce by the day for me, I can't help but envy my friend (who is going to ORD same day) because he is so free that he can have the whole day to himself, using the internet, have tea breaks, play PSP, read books, sleep, play squash, etc... usually he's tasked with near-negligible work. Compared to me, he is here in Brunei for a holiday. Maybe I shouldn't compare my worklaod and freetime with him just because we are from the same batch though... After all, I received a better ORD grading than him, and a CO medallion...
Today, over lunch and dinner, my colleagues and I discussed about certain people, and their bad points. Work politics & networking of friends came into topic. Come to think of it, I had a failed friendship with my partner, Jimmy. I find that a pity as Jimmy is quite a good friend to have. But I know the root cause of the failed friendship, and I'm not surprised about it. After all, I've always believed that I have a dual personality which is prolly the answer to why people wonder why I am so indecisive.
Breakfast please be good because it's a Saturday and I'm not at home. =(
