Well, today's the day. Feeling mixed senses of apprehension and excitement and sadness at having to leave things behind. Especially friends and family. But oh well. When you gotta go, you gotta go. I shall just go forth with a positive mindset and things will be fine =)

Before I go though, just a snippet of photos.

3 x cocks in toilet. We're pretty cool though. Haha

See the resemblance?

Of course, AS and I should have swapped places....but the idea was there =)

This is just damn funny.

K this post is damn late but I seem to be having some trouble uploading photos. So I shall just end it here. B back next time with photos from Oxford!

had a packed wk tis wk..been seeing rt and wy everyday..went to sign up for windsurfing course w wy and rt on mon and then went for the 1st SAOT SC meeting. All 3 of us gt in..wheee... CCA mates again.. haha.. me and wy both gt in logistics comm while rt gt in publicity comm...

tues and wed went for windsurfing course.. quite cool.. haf to balance and look at wind direction and currents etc..less idiot proof as compared to kayaking...

thur and fri went to volunteer at KK hospital to help prepare for childrens' day celebration.. to help bring a smile to those unfortunate kids who haf to stay in hospital on tt day.. somehow listening to those aunties who were aso volunteering there make me think tt i shd make more effort to interact with my family..haha weird tots..

saw my sec4 junior in the mrt station on sat and turn out tt he is gg to sentosa cos prelims finish le.. suddenly tot of alot of dumb sch stuff tt we used to do when i board the train..haha...hmm suddenly really miss sch days..nt tt im nt still schooling now..bt it is juz different le.. don really noe how to say bt sch is juz sch nowadays.. whereas sch seems to be like a 2nd home last time? Flashbacks of events from sec sch to JC.. and they will only stay as memories le..

u noe wat really make me tink we haf really grow up le?

when i interact w my st john juniors now, im able to tink of their actions as wat i used to do le.. as in instead of sharing the same negative feelings of everything tt growing up teens always haf.. now im able to step out of tt box and think of wat they feel and do as a bystander le.. feel as if i haf really pass tt stage of growing up and able to look back and connect with wat they r feeling cos we once feel this way too bt nt feeling the same way w them at the same time.. ha don really noe whether i make sense cos im juz typing out wat i think randonmly..

anw all the best to jerald...hopefully no matter where we will be nxt time as we grow older we will still be connected 1 way or another..hopefully tis blog will still be alive with more ppl blogging bout wats gg on in their life.. haha suddenly tot of tt time when we say we muz invite each other to our weddings..so we shd attend 20 weddings..haha so funny..who noe it might cum true.. if only every 1 of us make of the effort to.. we will definately be able to do it..cos those 2yrs of life tt we went through together..we haf already touch each other lives no matter whether we haf realised it...so every1 hold on to it w the determination tt we learnt from odac?haha..we might nt be doing those outdoor stuff together many yrs down the road le.. bt hopefully we will still be sharing each other's life.. maybe playing golf together or chatting while looking at our kids play together?haha..

20th odac instructors...once an instructor always an instructor.. we will always be the one and only 20th batch.. everyone hydrate lots and take care ya..

It's tough to pack one's life into a suitcase and leave.

It's hard to leave everything but the bare necessities behind.

But one thing I'm definitely taking with me are the photos, and with them the memories that are attached to them.

For those were the moments that took my breath away.

And that has made all the difference in the world.

Here's to vj, odac, and league of friendship.

Love u guys.

looks like 2005 is still hitched on a runaway train and has no intention of slowing down. Which makes it exactly a year since we've left VJ. now how fast IS that. we'd b year FOURS soon. cool huh.

anyways its my mid-sem break and gosh i have only 4 days left. i'm very sure the last time i checked it was still monday...

which brings me to my point. we ARE growing OLD. trust me before we know it JT's back with a british hot babe and a breeeteesh ahcent. we'll be attending YA's wedding in Sierra Leone and all her kids will still look like stickman even though they aren't malnourished (its e genes i tell you), though CH will still look and taste like a potato and grow tubers.

will we still climb mountains when we are 40?
heck will we be still climb mountains @ 20?
nah. (unless you count Mt Biang or however u spell it)

sometimes i get nostalgic.. reminiscing times i never should have let out of my minds immediate grasp. certain songs trigger scenes that evoke strong waves of emotion and they crash against the beach of my soul.

Micheal Learns to rock in '96? (paint my love huh.)
Backstreet Boys in '99?

funny how your memories can be a list of bands, songs and concerts. ever tried arranging your playlists in chronological order? dont frown, u know what i mean (not DO's off-key renditions of JAY) . from the songs you heard when you started listening to music(save nursery rhymes) till now. go try it.

you might just suprise yourself.

...
I often feel like I'm two steps behind
Somebody must have moved that finish line
There are a thousand reasons Why I should give up
But I'm stubborn in the things I believe

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign

'cause maybe there's another plan
One I still can't see
A little surprise, like your love in my life
Funny how time changes how we see

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time
Everything in its time

jiayou! everything in its time.
