Looking back.....
Posted at Monday, August 27, 2007
It was spring cleaning for me today, well most people would call it cleaning up their bedroom, but due the rarity of this event and the amount of mess, i would call it spring cleaning.....
Anyway, while ransacking through boxes sorting through all kinds of rubbish ( i would like to call them memories but well my mum will label them as rubbish ) i came across this particular photo taken a few years back, the Maroon in underwear photo .... it was taken after our usual Saturday soccer session in SMU, all of us squeezed into a cubicle and proud exposing our underwear in a manly photo, it did bring me lots of smile when i seen this photo.
We are as close as can be, after all 4 to 6 years of being stuck in the same school and all those evening soccer we had together, it is hard not to. Even if the team name Maroon is just taken out of the colour of the favourite street soccer shoe which we all liked, i pretty much liked the name....
Maroon consisted of the few regulars, Alex Xx Sek and Me ..... well there are other people but we four are the consistent few. I met alex in Pri 4 where he just came crashing into my class from another school. We probably started off at the wrong foot, or just that our personality were too different to be good frens from the start. Countless incidents and competition occurred between the both of us thru our primary school years all the till secondary4, but soccer made us good frens. I have been cheated by him on many occasions, him being a frequent liar, one of the worse is when he managed to convince me that poly is the right destination for us with a brighter future than AJC , the JC which i then wanted to go to ( He also convinced me that business course is flooded with girls ). Then i abandoned my JC dream and went into poly with him and XX. Sadly he ps-ed me in my second year as he left poly to go JC ( probably cuz his grades in poly werent as good HAHA). Nonetheless being a poly dropout, he is still one of my best pal.....
Xx, my best pal ( Until charlotte came into the picture as a THIRD party, too bad i am in no position to fight with a german "chick" )( Probably have to wait for them to break up, just like how they wait for me to break up HAHAHA ) We met in sec 1, then he was a quiet guy, always a Mr nice guy until now, the first time we met was during a camp where both of us had a maiden fight with each other, how the fight start, i cant really remb but i think i hit the wrong guy or something, anyway everything was in the heat of a moment and we were young and stupid then.... blah blah fate brought us together and TA DAH ! best pals now....
Sek, we were destined to be frens since primary 4, sharing a common curiosity bout the female physique then, we are alway seated at the back of class polluting each other's mind with knowledge acquired through books or rumors ( i alway felt that it is him polluting my mind but he alway claim otherwise so giving him the benefit of doubt i will say we pollute each other ). Those days where we spend our Chinese remedials talking at the back of the class bout pamela anderson, spice girls, man .... miss those days ...HAHA ( miss those days... not the topics )
Well, funny how fate let u become best frens with people u cant imagine, just glad that i met them and they will be my best pal regardless. Time to go out meet alex to go gym le ... ciao

Beach outing !
Posted at Friday, August 17, 2007
The day kicked off with me dragging myself out of the bed before i realised that i slept till the appointed meeting 10 A.m. Well with that sense of urgency knocked into my head, i immediately woke up to chiong to harbourfront, despite all the countless obstacle ( the countless traffic lights, pretty girls walking pass me, etc ), i managed to make my way to harbourfront just about an hour late. However despite my heroic and admirable achievement, the SOS peeps decided that it is a tad bit too late to continue waiting for me, so i had to go to Siloso beach to meet them instead.
The sun was great and and sand could have felt great too if not for the blistering heat it transmit to my feet. It was actually the first time i played beach volleyball, but motivated by the fact that i cant look noob in front of the numerous girls watching us play, my natural volleyball talent stepped in WAHAHA, well ok, truthfully i played not bad for a beginner, at least i don't seem noob. It was a fun day really, being surrounded by lots of pretty girls in bikinis, it is hard not to be a fun day.
The day took an interesting turn when a group of hunky guys came to challenge us ( and also to chat up the girls from SOS ). Being a great sport we accepted the challenge and proceed to teach them a lesson in HOW TO PLAY BEACH VOLLEYBALL..after the humiliating defeat they decided to try to win off the court by chatting up with the SOS girl but their advances were rejected , Hurray SOS guy 2 Hunky guys 0. After this rousing victory we went on to fill our stomachs and then off to work we go at 5.30 ....
3:20 AM
NDP

Recap of how i spent my national day....
Prior to the national day i have been spending some Saturdays with the primers bunch rehearsing as motivators. It was relatively fun, but somehow as i drew comparisons with the NDP last year it was abit sian, the location may have played a part, no offense to the floating platform, this feeling can never be the same as to stepping into the national stadium, large space and historical feel. Another reason for the turn-off could probably be to costume and the unappreciative public who just dun understand how it feels to wear a costume under the hot sun. It doesnt realli feel that great to be a cross between a chicken and a crab... but trainings were rather fun nonetheless. haha
Me and alex (primer's alex... not best pal alex) agreed to pon the actual day of ndp, well my frens wanted to meet up and be patriotic for once and celebrate our nation's birthday, having to make a tough choice between wearing the chicken crab costume and a feast with my close frens, i reluctantly chose the latter.
We met up in suntec and had our dinner in fish and co while watching the whole parade on TV, it does seems alot nicer to view it on tv rather than sweating out in a costume. After the whole parade we went off to marina square to find something to do. Well i managed to avoid getting caught by primers ppl and met up with my sis b4 making my way home with probably thousands of singaporeans tryin to get home at the same time.
