well well, now that im leaving NY, maybe i should take out a night to reminisce over the 2 years i spent there..
firstly, NYCO. cos i went in to NY through DSA. from th start, i went into NY for th wrong reason- cos he asked me to. so when i went for th audition, he introduced ming kwang, his close friend. ultimately, i got in, i signed th DSA acceptance form when i passed through the audition, and a few days later, he dropped out. haha. come to think of that, im really really stupid to have believed his words. and then i thought, heys, it's alright. there's always ming kwang who's there. i wont be entirely alone in NY. true enough, even before i entered NY as an official student, MK was always being very helpful, guided me during the open house, lent me his calculator for my o levels and ended up having to use his troublesome GC for his chem SPA. when i came into NY, he did take very good care of me. whenever practices ended late, he'd always bug th chairperson to end their EXCO meeting ASAP so that i wouldnt need to wait too long for him to walk out that long road with me and entertain me at th same time :D cos it would be friggin dark and he knew i was.. kinda blind in the dark.
then there was also derek another senior whom i got to know during the audition, but i did not know him that well then. it was until i entered NY, then did i get to know him better and eventually ended up as close friends. he who helped me so much with my midyears last year that he also didnt do as well as he usually did. those times of mugging in school for midyears last year with derek and ming kwang were definitely times whereby i felt "hey, jc has its fair share of helpful people too!" but then somehow, graduation took it's toll, NS took it's toll on our friendship and well, i can only look back at those times and think back.
there have been times when ming kwang comes back to visit :D and each time is.. i dont know, there's this glad feeling when i see him. it's those times during those performances, especially those whereby there was only just a small group of us involved, those times of unglam-ness, those times of.. fun.. which really, i can look back and smile. cos i got to know such great seniors and they were such close friends of mine. it's almost like they were my brothers who took really great care of me, and really, it seemed like everyone gave their 100% into this friendship..
then th other group of people who had the 2nd greatest impact on me: those from PAE0724 & JAE0723.
PAE0724: those promises we made to choose the same subject combination after PAE, just to end up in th same class. but people left. elizabeth who went to SAJC, and weimun who went to PJC. times we chiong-ed queensway after school during PAE was really.. and sentosa times.. we had so much fun then, enjoying all. and valentines day in school whereby i was so shocked to receive a
JAE0723: got to know this guy- lawrence. who had such a great impact on my whole life in 0723 (: i remember how he, cel and i pon-ed level camp just to go support lawrence in campus superstar at toa payoh. and how he sang th whole journey back to NYJC from toa payoh just cos i kept asking him to sing. we only knew each other th day before. he was a really smart guy, really asshole, and really really charming. yes, i said that. no doubt as asshole. but somehow i allowed myself to be exploited (no dont think it th wrong way) and well, when i left the class last year, everything changed..
on top of my class last year, there was also "0738" those i played bball with, those i studied for promos with, those i had spent those late nights in the school with. running on th track at 10.30pm just to relieve stress, with MF and QJ, me and law. well. th rest just werent on about it. hahas. and well, no lights at all. i wasnt gonna let go of law along th way. hahas. but well, that was the type of fun we had..
then this year, i moved on to 0820 which brought with it many ups and downs. then i found people like tammy, jeanette, lynette, regina. these people which gave me laughter, gave me motivation, encouragement, and a time to look back at and smile :D then others like puijun, edeline, jiayan, etc who never failed to brighten up my day. times with amanda, edeline and puijun during chinese breaks.. those times so memorable yes..
then this year in NYCO i found people like zhiwen, estelli the bimbo, weijian (though i knew him last year, but was closer to him this year). they made co so enjoyable especially whenever we passed chocs around right under dingls's nose =p and whenever weijian, zhiwen and i did some.. weird expression or action, we'd burst out laughing and somehow ding would be kinda shocked. :D and times when zhiwen or weijian had sudden outbursts of mimicking dingls =x HIGHLY HUMOROUS I TELL YOU. but well, i guess i never put my 100% into co this year.
regrets, yes. but im glad i had friends like them..
and lastly, th bunch of fun loving people, house exco 2007, ltc sir gareth 2007, and everyone.. everyone..
i find it so difficult to leave ny..
i have never left it before..
i told of my glory at 1:00 am
