Nostalgia abound...

...But life goes on? Doesn't it?

Had my first AQ training in a long time (competition season starts erms... next year? prepare earlier I guess).

Back to Singapore. Back to life. Back to what came before.
Somehow I feel out of place. Things have happened, words been said and now the familiar has become the new.

It doesn't help that I caught a cold and a terrible earache on the way back. I mean, delayed pressure release? o_O Been quite long since I left the plane liao and still got that before-your-ear-pop feeling. Quite deaf in my right ear now. Shall attempt to sleep it away. Again. However, its like a physical reminder of the trip. A reminder of what has happened, of what has passed. Perhaps I do not want it to fade after all... NOT. It may be just one of the effects of cold. -.-

However, considering how long I lived in a surrounding similiar to this new place, it didn't really take long to acclimatize. (Speaking of acclimatizing, I already kenna sunburn.)

The path from the bus stop to the clock tower gave me a strong sense of deja vu. No. Not of the trip... But of the one year that has passed. No more, would I enter the classroom by that passageway-leading-to-the-astroturf and see the faces of 2M engrossed in last minute mugging, reading, chatting about Revealations *shudder*, or witnessing the latest KST-YX drama. No more would I hear the squeaky fan, see the slanted lights or read the eccentric board messages. No more MRT Maps, no more super-sized locker, no more dirty classroom. (Wait. Is that a good thing?) No more people, which I have known, studied, talked, played and ate with for 2 whole years. Sure enough, I'll still see them, but they wouldn't be my classmate no more.

I couldn't bare to look away, as I walked (briskly. I was late) on. But I did in the end, as the evil "Books for sale" sign (or something like that) drove my glaze away. It was yet another reminder of the time that has passed. Another reminder everything would soon be just... memories.



Why must my posts all be a melancholic? -.-

Oh well, I guess I'll keep in touch. =P considering how there isn't many people in the RI Sec 2 GE cohort anyway. 5x30=150. Ok... thats quite alot...



Oh ya. I linked the version of Gu Dan Bei Ban Qiu all the blue bus people heard in, well... the blue bus. Or at least I think its the same version. Enjoy.
