sec sch day memories...

just walked past my former sec sch while going to supermarket to get sth.. past by the classroom when i was in sec 2 & sec 4.. alot of memories flashed back.. thk its all because of the sec sch supper gathering yest..

we met up yest at the prata place near my house... sit there from 10 plus until 2 plus.. talking about our life now, talking about wat happened while we were in sec sch... alot of things that were long forgotten lfashed across our mind once again... ha.. that's how memories is like.. only when u keep thking about it den it will not be forgotten if not, only when someone unintentionally mentioned it den u will try to ransack ur mind for that particular incident that had once been craved inside ur mind...

joon chai was talking about his unhappiness experience with our chem teacher... it was quite a huge 'event' but i just cant rem it at all.. den is the movie 'blaire witch project' that we went to watch with shaoyun.. if she din mentioned about that movie, i really cant rem about that incident also...

haiz.. those were the gd old days when we were in sec sch.. that was like more den 7 yrs back already.. how time flies.. its really funny.. in e past we dun haf much association with joon chai, pingwei & wei shyang one, its only aft we grad already den we become closer.. the r/s between ppl is so magical, isnt it??

turning 23 in the next 2 wks.. felt damn sian.. in another few more mths, there goes my student life...will be going into a new stage of life.. working adult... how will it be like?? guess i will miss my life being a student ba.. its more carefree & more time for me to acc my love ones...

among the 8 present yest, only me & wei shyang are still studying.. the others are all working already.. its so weird.. last time we were all students but now we are going into a stage where most of us are working & going into working stage le.... thk in another few more yrs time, we will be attending wedding dinner & full month celebration le... haha..

i really love those gathering with my frenz in sec & jc....

back once again...

i just came back from another genting trip on sun with my mum.. this time round, only me & her went there.... alot of my frens were saying that i am very garang & crazy about genting.. erm.. ok, i admit that i have been going there more often den i go to orchard this days.. haha... but come to thk of it, its really very near us ma.. jus a 6 hrs bus journey & da da.... going to orchard from my place need also an hr.. so its just a 5 hr diff.. haha....

i dun really gamble there as most of u know.. i go there just because of the cool weather.. that's sth we cant haf in singapore even if it rain for 3 consecutive days.. this time round, i was quite happy cause the weather is quite misty unlike 2 weeks back... love the relac lifestyle there.. can slp very late, den wake up very late.. the moment u wake up, u will feel refreshed by the cool morning wind.. not humid like singapore... den go for brunch, walk ard etc... if possible, i dun mind staying there for wks lo.. haha....

at 1st when we reached there, i tot time will pass by very slowly cause i haven been together with my mum for 3 whole day alone after she give birth to my bro & that is like 16 yrs already.. so feeling quite weird in the sense that my bro & sis are not ard.. like short of sth... haha.. but its really quite cool to have my mum all to myself for tat past few days.. erm.. tell u sth funny.. i actually felt quite sad on the coach back cause when i am back, i will need to 'share' my mum with my siblings... damn stupid rite??

saw weiming there on my last day.. he was there with his frenz but too bad cause he just reached but i need to go back le.. he saw me in e casino & came up to me.. hee.. i din wear my specs so cant see so far also la..

erm.. this is the 1st time in e yr that i went there.. everything seems like a fresh start.. not thking of the past & wat had happened there in e past like how i used to.. but at times the feeling will still linger for a while... now, i really thk everything is just a beautiful dream...... cause i really cant believe now about the things that i had done....

past memories~~

dun be mistaken.. this time round the past memories has nuts to do with r/s stuffs.. its all about my childhood memories... today we went down to my former grandma's place ( my granny passed away 8 yrs back ) for her death anniversary thingy.. woke up ard 8 plus by my mum & went down to the chinatown hawker centre for our breakfast... had the urge to eat those very traditional food like 芋头糕, 糯米饭, 油条..

den we took a bus down instead of taking the train.. gt a chance to walk the on the pathway which i haven been walking for more den 10 over yrs... everything has changed.. the buildings that used to reside those nonya families were pulled down & has turned into a carpark now.. the pathway that used to lead up to the staircase has become a place where the coffeeshop place their tables n chairs.. the old HDB buildings with the restaurant & carpark in front of em were pulled down to make way for newer HDB buildings that are taller now.... how time flies rite.....

after seeing so many changes, i saw a barrier in front of me which is e only way to lead me to a staircase down to my granny's place.. i tot the stairs is demolished or wat when i saw those barrier.. haha.. well, its actually there just to prevent the cars from parking at the pavement in front of it... the warehouse which i used to stand at my granny's window when i was young to watch the workers moved the crates has become a new condo with swimming pool.... that is how fast singapore is changing & how human memories fail on em... its only when u go back to the same place den all those small tinny winny memories that u haf kept deep inside ur heart will come back to u...

now i understand one thing.. time really wait for no one & how those changes changed everything.. its undeniable that all those changes are necessary to make the society a better place to live in & to make us more competitive against other countries... but haf u ever tot & realised that nowadays, we are growing further & further apart from each other.. is this a side effect of those changes or its just me?? in the past when i was young, i feel that ppl are closer & frenlier to one another.. isit because i am young den & is more innocent so i tot ppl are frenlier n closer??

that is why i prefer those older buildings n things.. i am not an antique person la.. i just feel that those old buildings have a life in em... they are 'alive', alive with memories of all the ppl that had played a part inside of em or have let the buildings played a part in their life... there are 人情味 inside em which is missing in those new buildings.. that is why when i heard that some places like maxwell market, tiong bahru market, chinatown building would be upgraded, i felt quite emotional... i am really afraid that the area ard my granny's place will go thru this kinda things also.... most of the places which played a part in contributing to my childhood memories were 'gone' ( everything has changed apart from the address ).. i really dun hope that the most impt place will change also..

cant believe i am such a 念旧 person rite??

exams.....

just went to pay my exam fees @ RELC with cheng, billy & yaoquan yest.. was working at wellington b4 yaoquan fetch me to IMM to withdraw money for my sch fees.. den we went down together to meet billy & cheng.. we were late because of e long queue at the bank but luckily, there was not many ppl at RELC so we din wait very long.. i can still rem 2 yrs back when i went to pay there on the last day of the payment date & how chaotic it was.. had a bad experience so this time round, we went on e 2nd day.. haha.. damn kiasu...

after making the payment & feeling damn heartache, we went to bugis.. i was damn hungry den.. haven been eating anything the whole day... we ordered alot of food & the both of us ( me & yaoquan ) managed to finish it lo.. it was raining heavily by the time we finished the meal.. had to wait for the rain to subside b4 we can go to bugis village.. billy & cheng need to buy present for their frenz... miss shopping at bugis...

we decide to go to billy's place for MJ later & went to fetch lishan.. really enjoy life rite.. haiz. duno how long this will end, exams is like 4 months down the road... can begin to feel the stress that is building up.. blur about everything & MA is really eating alot of my time.. i really have no time for other subjects... felt damn pek cek... but luckily, everything is sort of like back to normal & i am feeling much stable now.. not having those mood swing & temperamental tendency anymore..

had a short conversation with him on the phone because of my notes.. been months since we last talk over the phone.. e feeling is really very very different.. the feeling he gave me now is also very different.. to me, he is like a stranger now.. the person whom i know in e past is no longer there anymore.. i really duno wat has happened to him but i believe wat had happened must have a very big impact on him to cause such a big change.. he is no longer the optimistic, confident, humorous guy with drive that i know.... all i can sense is his unhappiness & helplessness towards his life.... no matter wat, i really hope that everything will turn out fine eventually for him... :)

back to billy's place MJ session.. after we ended the game, billy's dad taught us a new game.. its a poker type MJ set known as 'La Bi'.. i saw ppl playing the game b4 but dun haf any idea wat it is all about.. after learning, i thk its quite a fun game that needs u to come up with strategies to get rid of the biggest pt card... quite interesting.. hehe..

happy belated b'day ah ma~~~

finally we met to celeb ah ma's birthday.. we were all busy with our own life & haven been meeting often for dinner etc so i am really looking forward to our gathering to celeb ah ma's birthday... the 4 of us were really very close to each other during our JC days... but how we met each other & our impression of each other were very funny....

shu & ah li thk i am some sort of ah lians when they 1st stepped into our class because of my slighly red colored hair & my fav denim jacket which i always wear ard in e sch... ah ma, tot i am some kinda mixed blood because of my features ( another saying means i am pretty!! ) haha.. when i 1st saw ah ma, i thk she is really fair & pretty, must be some kinda rich family kids.. ah li & shu looks very sporty & athletic.. the type of sunshine gal... hehe...

as for how we become so close?? i also cant really rem wat happened to make the 4 of us bond together.. thk its because only e 4 of us in the class are not those study type & missing from sch type ba.. haha... den duno why, we have nicknames for each & every of us which caused the ah's group to arise...

i met ah ma in town 1st & waited for her to get her hair permed @ reds... perry ( ah ma's bf ) was there also.. haven seen him for quite some time also.. thk he slim down quite alot.. we had our dinner @ pasta cafe.. their pasta is fantastic...

we talked about alot of things over dinner.. den we were reminded of those outings to celeb birthday... we remembered shu's 17th birthday @ breeks buffet marina & 18th birthday @ thai express esplanade.. this is because we took alot of funny photos.. we begin scolding each other why we din send the photos over the net... den we remembered, those photos were all in hard copies.. it was taken even b4 those digital cameras were out... haha.. those were the days....

we used to go for buffets for our outings everytime.. be it birthday, after sch activities, going out etc... we really can eat alot alot that time.. was damn amazed by our appetite den... dun thk we will be able to eat like e past... its damn scary.. we talked alot about the past, rememberint & reliving those days when we were in JCs.. some moments were really being forgotten, only able to rem it when they mentioned it... that's memories, must kp reminding urself about it if not it will be washed away or masked by some even impt or fresher memories.....

we decide to go elsewhere for desserts & continued our talk.. while walking, we tot of going for some drks but den ah shu have to work tml so we have to forsake that plan... we ended up at TCC centrepoint.. oh, i love the ambience there.. i love the pillar which gives us a very victoria, very old feelings... duno why, i just prefer old buildings den those modern one.. felt that those old buildings have more life in them as compared to the new ones which looked so dead....

dark devotion ordered by me, ah ma & ah li...

the half eaten & 'beautifully' decorated tiramisu ordered by shu... ( decorations contributed by the 3 of us... )

when we were making the orders, the waitress seemed very shocked to see us ordering a serving of desserts each... is that very weird?? its not as if the portion is very big... ha....

group photo...

ah ma bought each one of us a x'mas present.. that's so sweet of her.. she din buy for herself cause dun haf her size anymore.. if not we can all wear it together next time at our MJ session.. haha...
