another dose of nostalgia

hello! here's one of those long long reflective posts of mine :)

i have three things to talk about : -

1) I AM PROUD TO BE A VICTORIAN
yes i am indeed! friday was half day because of the basketball finals against RJ. frankly i didn't really want to go down to support them at first but the kayak girls were going so i decided to just tag along and see what all the fuss was about. to cut a long story short, i realised why "victoria is something more". i seriously think that around 3/4s of the school was there that day! all sorts of people-i saw the odacers,the soccer team, some random classes.. all united for one goal-to spur the basketballers on! the match was an exciting one and i felt so proud of the strong spirit we displayed. i especially admire the soccer guys who somehow managed to bring an obese-looking drum and were hammering it throughout the entire match! the way they cheered for vj was truly.. inspiring! they hollered,they ROARED, they screamed themselves hoarse. the looks of defeat and helplessness on the rafflesians' faces were priceless. they tried to throw in the occasional cheer, but it would always result in the soccer guys hammering the drum deafeningly to disrupt their rhythm. the best part was that i finally cleared my mind of sth that had been bugging me a little the past few months- as i sat amongst the victorians,cheering i realised that i wouldn't, for a million bucks want to be at the other side of the crowd! i've always wondered what it would have been like if i had gone to rj. but now i know-they may be smarter and more talented, but there's no spirit,no family,like that of the VICTORIANS. :)

2) BUT AT THE SAME TIME I MISS IJTP.
yes. today i went for the NJ funfair and i saw lien(HI LIEN! was great to see you) and my dear ij pals. PETRINA TAN MARIANNE WONG MARIANNE CHANG CHARMAINE TAY. all of you have been through different things with me and every time i hang out with you guys it makes me miss what we used to do in sec4! esp to petty, ahh i miss those ij badminton days,when we would talk abt just anything under the sun! i remember there being a point in time,when i knew everything about your life. talking to you today and going to tp macs made me miss sec4 life so much! i miss how we would scream and squeal bimbotically over minute stuff, how we bitched about coach, and i miss looking at your sweet face! i remember our squabbles over the positions on the badminton team too*sheepish* i know im changing due to the diff atm in jc, but i will always be an IJ girl at heart.

3) OHNO
i think i'm losing focus. i'm trying to steer myself back to the right track but i really don't know if i can. for the first time in my life i actually dreamed throughout lectures without bothering to even take out my pencilcase. it's bad for me and i should really stop and be focused. my life consists of two things only-kayak and studies. that's the way it should be and that's the way i'm gonna make it be. i just finished filing all my worksheets and now i can start preparing a timetable. steady, huay shan!

takecare everyone. all VICTORIANS, live your lives in vj to the fullest! all IJTPIANS, keep those memories stored safely at the corners of your hearts. those out there losing focus as well, wake up in time for the midyears! :)
