buckle!

shall start off with some photos which i took with my hp ytd:


jun and kang! they were complaining about me not wearing green.=X


jun! shall talk about the irony of our shopping trip later.=P


eunice! omg i haven't seen her since sec 4?=X


kang! yeah been a long time since we had a nice good talk together.=X


amy! i think both of us have been through quite a lot together, from being captains in sec 4 and after that being classmates for 2 years in jc.

shall upload the group photos when jun or kang send them to me. mr tan didn't turn up! omg we all spared some time last night just to catch up with him, but he didn't come! argh. no choice lar, busy man. got to plan another outing again then.=X kbox!=)

but the dinner was good.=D though there were so few of us, i guess it was just great talking and catching up, in a relaxing atmosphere at the glasshouse.=) it's still so amazing how we are still close and enthu even after we have graduated for 3 years. the first ever buckle camp was super unforgettable. how buckle spirit just formed in 2 days 1 night. those days were just so wonderful, when everyone had a common goal (BOH) and we all fought hard to achieve it. we failed in sec 3, but that didn't stop us from going all out in sec 4. and i guess hard work do pay off. BOH was probably my best farewell gift from the school. it's quite sad how i'm hearing things about the house spirit being less strong now, but i guess things do change over time, and at least we've shared memory of clinching BOH and in the next year, champion house.

and of cos mr tan played a big part in everything. the camp was made successful by his encouragement and his weird analogies which made damn a lot of sense to us little sec 2s then. and through my 2 1/2 years in the comm, he has never failed to give us support, to motivate us when we felt disheartened, and to make us happier when we won something. all my leadership awards came because of him too. i guess it helped that he was also quite young, and so we could all connect with him. but yes, buckle wouldn't be so special in all our hearts if not for him.

now that he isn't buckle's teacher anymore, it doesn't really matter. at least the buckle spirit will always be in all of us, and he probably didn't know the impact he had in us then.

ok before the dinner, jun and i went shopping for shoes. jun was the one who wanted to get a pair cos all of hers spoiled at the same time. the rest gave her blisters. BUT in the end, i was the one who bought 3 pairs and she didn't get any.=X but mine are all for different occasions lar. i wanted to get some tops too, but thought i shouldn't spend so much in a day. shall earn more before spending. bangkok is till SOOO long later. and by then, we'll be shopping for casual clothes more than work clothes liao. but i'm still looking forward to the trip!=) hope nothing happens again.

my parents and aunties and uncles are going vietnam instead of bangkok. i wanna go! it's like a very good experience. but i probably wouldn't enjoy myself with the "old" people there.=X still considering...

and i wanna go taiwan too.=( just can't find anyone to go with.=X

driving ytd was quite fun too, though i'm beginning to be more scared as the lessons go by, and i start learning more complicated stuff. but at least i went further! to tampines! chiong the highway with no cars lar. but i didn't want to switch to 4th gear so i was chionging 65km/h in 3rd gear.=X learnt 360 turn and controlling the car too. and my instructor said i'm actually quite good in all of that. only problem is my steering. always turn too fast.=X and he says i'm always too serious.=X

ok softball match later, though i'm not playing.=X hopefully it won't be so weird. hai...

i wonder why my mum is making me work so hard. i wanted to take a half-day, then she said it was a waste of money. this is the only period of time that i can truly enjoy and have fun, but yet i can't believe how hard i'm working. i know i need the money, yet i dun want to give up the fun that i'm supposed to have. like what my dentist said, i have my whole life to work. even now when i look at some stuff, i'd find it too ex, when last time i'd buy without thinking. hai... maybe it's the fact that it's my own money, and i dun want to deplete it so soon.=X

look at me 12 years ago. omg.
