It was a clear sky yesterday morning. First up was to meet Joseph at King Albert Park at 7.15am. Thinking that we were quite early, we delayed till about 7.30 just to start eating our breakfast. By 7.50 we were at the bus stop waiting for bus 985 to bring us to school. Luckily the bus arrived the moment we are at the bus stop. Reached school at 8.02. Thinking that we were going to get caught, we decided to move pass the grandstand and through the J2 block just to make our way towards the quadrangle. We succeeded not to be caught !!!

Following that was the assembly where some J1's put up a small parade led by none other than Kendrick Ong ( nice one kong ). The assembly was long and everybody was getting restless, but without much ado, the principle start off the 7km walk/jog to macritchie. This is when i walked with linus and we talked about armies. Throughout the whole journey, we keep sharing our knowledge about the ancient and modern armies throughout the world. Unknowlying to us, as we talked on, we seemed to over take a lot of people and ended up the first few to cross the finishing line. Suprrisngly, some of the people from my class suddenly ran and caught up with us. Haha. While waiting for the others to arrive, Tim, Lynette, Minhui, Fanghui and me decided to sit down and started sing national day songs !!! LOL.

There goes my morning. After the walk, i met up with debbie and wai cheung and we went to SJI first before proceeding to choa chu kang where we met up with more pri school classmates. I was glad to see Jing Xiong ( my good buddy for 10 years ), Wenny ( whom i cannot remember as she changed a lot ) and lastly Benjamin ( who had changed from a gangster to a more down to earth and learned person ) It was about 1 when we decided to head towards our primary school. Upon reaching, we were denied entry as the teachers are still having meeting till 4pm. Thus we decided to play basketball and have our lunch.

At about 5, our beloved chinese teacher called and we hurriedly head towards our alma mater to meet up with our teacher. It was there we had a long talk with our chinese teacher Mdm Toh. It was amazing as she still could remember our names after 5 long years. Times flies and it was soon 6pm. It was till then, then i realise that Wai Cheung, me and debbie should be in SJI by 6pm. As debbie did not want to part with the other classmates, wai cheung and i made a move first and we rush down to sji in a cab.



As i enter SJI, everything lookes so familar yet lookes so strange to me. The surroundings are so familar and so homey. Its just feels as though i have not gone back for a long while. Yet the people are so "stranger" to me. It feels as though you aren't part on the people in the parade. The feeling change from a participant to an observer. I meet many friends who i have not seen for ages. We went high on everything which interest us. Especially with my NCC partmates whom we suffered and enjoyed 4 years of our lives. They got extremely high when i succeeded to do pull ups. Although i did not managed to do a lot, they are all glad for me that i managed to do !!! Also our NCC air unit received best unit award. Our hard work last year paid off and we are hoping that we could received it agian next year. Its this types of invisible strong bonds which keeps us bonded everywhere and anywhere we go.



I also met up with my classmates where we had another long talk with our teachers. Pixiang, Hariz and Wei Jiang went back to Annual Parade as Cadet Officers !!! Cool, 3 officers from our class and all in my former cca NCC Air. After the parade is when the atmosphere is pushed towards the max. Everybody is so high as if they are on alcohol !!! We did whatever crazy thing which went into our minds. Like "tao-pok ing", jumping around like nuts, falling in for the fun of it and many many more things which bring in memories we shared.

After that, we all decided to head towards Marina Centre to watch fireworks. Our group was about 20+ people strong. Thus finding a place to accomodate us was a problem, thus we decided to walked towards and open field where we could get a clear view of the whole fireworks display. I was able to catch all that fireworks display in my camera !!! Haha. The fireworks just finished just when my memory ran out. Thats how lucky i am yesterday. Its was till then we decided to walk around to find dinner. And its another long story as we walked for the next 45 mins or so just to find food. In the end we found nothing as everywhere was too croweded and we decided to part and make our ways home.

The journey home was by no means a good one. All the buses we so packed that i have to wait for like 3 buses before i managed to squeeze on one. The bus journey was unplesant was its was too crowed and some people are raising their voices as they could not exit the bus. I was supprised to see Foxy on the bus too but she was sleeping. The feeling of being trapped in Orchard for another hour unable to catch a bus nor flag a taxi is very sad. I must say luckily Tarun was also there as he too could is trapped at Orchard. By the time i reached home, its was far too late as compared to my self imposed curfew. I was about one hour off. Reaching home at about 11pm.

Melodies of life, to the sky beyond the flying birds - forever and beyond.
