Been almost a month since I've last blogged! Not too long, I guess, but so much has happened since then.
Time seems to be passing so fast and yet, in a certain twisted sense, not fast enough. I guess the enormity of the fact that we're actually YEAR4S!!! AKA SENIORS AKA DA JIES AKA LAST YEAR IN RG seems to be interfering with my sense of time. idk.
It's so weird to be YEAR4!!!, when I can still so vividly remember year 1. I can remember the apprehension and fear on the first day of school (it was a rainy day, which fit the mood perfectly). I can remember first training with A NCOs and playing the human entanglement thinggy game with platoonmates (without knowing that they would later on be one of the most important people of my life). I can remember the time when Ms Raaha returned my first ever history ppa, and I got 16/20 and was so happy (of course, it all went downhill from then. But I'm trying to slowly pick it back up now (': ). Back to the point - time really really flies when you're enjoying yourself; and I can definitely, confidently say that these past three (four??) years of my life in RG has been immensely enjoyable.
Anyway, I was stalking myself yesterday (this would be my shi4hao4 hehehe). Reading my blog posts from P6-Y1-Y2, I guess I can say I've changed. For the better, hopefully, I guess I'm more mature now, and my english has DEFINITELY IMPROVED OK. But I don't think I can be a judge of how different I've become, anyway. Definitely became sexier though (no joke man my y1 photos were horrendous urgh)
So, anyway. Rough breakdown of the past month (see, it feels so weird because the days fly by so fast, I'm quite surprised as to how it's only still January.):
6 - 7 Jan:
Definitely one of the best birthdays ever - best presents! What better way to start the day with presents, especially when the present is a lovely, lovely surprise from platoonmates Steph, Kish and TMY! (Though, I'm kinda glad I ruined my surprise - not ready for them to find out my deepest darkest secret yet!!!!)
And was so touched by the presents my classmates and friends gave me in school on 7 January. Most of the presents might be gone now (and they were damnnnn yummy!!!) but they've left a very sweet (in more ways than one) memory in my heart.
CCA Trials:
They look a rather nice bunch of people, although there were a few lousy (BOOO) ones. Though the turnout for trials this year was rather pathetic in comparison to our batch's. I hope Part As '13 are good though!!!! Don't give your NCOs headache man!
Year 4 in general:
As mentioned, it's.. different. And yet, it feels the same. Same school, same people, same subjects, but different feel. It's hard to describe it exactly; perhaps it's the feel of the Last Year in RG. It's good, in a way. Guess it encourages me to make more lasting memories of being a student here; make this year the best one yet, considering how my past few years in RG were relatively uneventful.
Yesterday I was out with Meixian and it was great! We reminisced and gossiped about the good ol' times and just. talked. (and did homework too lol) And it made me miss primary school again and I just felt really, really old. Again, it's quite a pity how all of us drifted apart in secondary school, though the 6A outing on 31 Dec was quite a nice way to end the year and catch up with each other :) Wonder how things would've been like had I gone to NYGH instead? Though, no, I definitely don't regret coming here instead.
Morning commanding tomorrow :/ I don't think I'll ever get used to it haha even though it's a good experience.
