3 hours into my 21st year of existence...

Looking back, what have I done, where have I been?

Travelled from Novena to Clementi for 2 years to complete my Primary Education at NHPS. Clumsy me broke my arm in Primary 4, and fractured my foot the year after that.

Went to St Nicks mainly because of MEP... MEP was a bad decision (I wonder what possessed me), but never regretted going there because of all you wonderful people out there. I remember the Cruise in 2004...

Establishment of REHK... and the 2 revered Royalties. I remember silent conversations, passing messages and throwing them across the room during Father Balhatchet's class. Hurhurhur...

Tuition @ Angie's with Bubble Tea and Ms Tay.

1 Truth, 2 Truth, 3 Purity, 4 Purity. Cai-pok, Flaming red hair TG...

Sec school life seems like a blur now - it seems to revolve round choir... Performances, practices, rehearsals and 'tests'. 'Clip-clopping' across the VCH stage. The classic Monica Toh followed by Susanna Koh.

It was where I developed an interest in choir, then a passion for singing which brought me to the next phase of my life - VJC

Failed my first Exam - Physics. Got my first 'F' for Econs common test in Yr 2 Common Test 1! (I don't think I will ever forget that)

Mulling over tons of Maths problems and trying to grasp econs concepts.
Ponning lecture to go lib, sleeping in practically all my lectures in year 1.

A year one Physics tutor which was a big joke, the replacement was not much better wither.
Physics Tuition with Gary Chan. Wahahahs...

Fun and slack class, which unfortunately do not really keep in touch.

But more importantly, I remember choir - the feel of singing with a choir that strives together, produces good sound. It started with Carolling 2001. The toil and sweat. Practices at least twice a week, lying on the floor of the hall in Siglap South CC. Doing weird stuff and the intensive drilling of competition songs. (try 'Ni-hil-sub, So-lei No-Vum)

There was Prague, my first foray into Europe and first experience of winter.
Preparations for SYF... 'dung da-ah-ang-ing' for months trying to sound like gamaelan. Putting up of SOV performances - Horrotorio and the funny choreo the year after.

Performance at Esplanade. :) :) :) - It was just a nice feeling to know you had been there.

Pioneer batch of SMU Social Science students. Fun with Social Science Society exco! Nice and friendly Profs. Interesting modules. First time in a class of 16 people. Daunting presentations - I remember Comms 101 - individual presentation.
But more importantly, the experience I pick up while taking part in or organising activities.

Wonderful G1 friends, thanks for being part of my life since 2 years ago! The infamous 'Zhong Ji Mi Ma', G1 gathering, crapping sessions, apples discussion...

The Impossible Trinity, we rock! :)

To all those who are a part of my life, a sincere 'Thank You; from the bottom of my heart together with a great, big hug. May the friendships we forge withstand the test of time.

Oh oh oh.. not to forget.. Karaoke was DISCOVERED!!! Wahahahas.. the endless hours of fun we had singing, screaming and harmonising (or trying to anyway)!

Most importantly, I won't be who I am today if not for my family. To por-por, Mummy, Daddy, Gin and Jonah, I love you all very much! Thanks for being there to listen to me, to cheer me up when I'm down, to amuse me with your antics.

Phew.. I just felt as if I made an Oscar acceptance speech! :) May this post be something to mull over and serve to jolt my memory when I read my archives in future.
