Memories

gazing out at the startling night sky.. i relinquished the times i had spent with my primary school friends.. the laughter, mockery, pranks and simply well FUN.. the sky was unusually dotted with small but sprakling stars which accompanied the moon on this otherwise lonely night.. the very fact that i had locked myself up in my room mugging incessantly meant that i had compromised much of my social life and precious hours of well deserved sleep. sigh.. but at least i am able to take a break now.. with the RSAF open house tomorrow.. i cant wait to get myself in the cockpit of the Apache AH-64D.. the one i had seen.. researched at marvelled by the stories recounted by our very own Apache Pilots during my attachment at SBAB [ thats where the Apache are held currently ]..
the torrential downpour which battered our little island was too much to handle even for me.. i had contemplated if i should just walk in the rain towards the MRT and hop on to GMPS.. [my primary school].. it was no use.. i decided against it when the rain simply got worse.. i hailed a cab and was on my way down.. my phone seemed to have its busiest hour yet with calls after calls and sms after sms raiding my phone from primary school friends.. desperate to meet up with each other before looking up our teachers whom had moulded us to the secondary school/JC we were in..
Stepping into the HOD room.. after 3 long years of absence.. i was greeted by Luke.. one of my pals back then and still is.. lol.. he gladly opened the door for me as i walked in.. before being raided by my former classmates.. all asking whether i remembered them at all.. it was hard really.. they all had changed so much! Sze Sian.. Jeannie.. Dennis.. tab.. Erlina.. thankfully i got it right.. i do not wish to know what they would do to me if i got their names wrong. though i doubt anything would happen but better safe then sorry right? haha.. Miss Choy.. eh no.. Mrs Goh came in next and shaked my hand before chatting on the stuff people normally do when they hadn't seen each other for so long.. THEN.. i was smacked hard on the back by someone.. i initially thought it was yet another friend but i turned and i saw a farmiliar shirt.. the eagle.. the sword.. NCC logo.. OMG.. it was my cadet! the one i had took during the sec 1 camp earlier this year.. the one who entered NCC cuz i was in it? lol.. im not sure about that but that was what they replied when i asked them individually their reason for joining this CCA.. i was stunned for a moment before i replied hi.. and smiled.. he went off to his friends telling them that i was his SGT in NCC air.. well at least i know their proud to have me as their SGT.. haha..
went on to greet Mrs Soh.. and gosh.. her tone never seems to change at all! the way she talks to students when they do not greet her or if they forgot something.. it just brings back bittersweet memories..
went on to the Staff Room next.. where i was once again raided by my former schoolmates.. this time the gang from 6Dilligence.. they're a lively bunch i gotta admit.. lets see.. annabel, cindy,serene,john,jeremy,etc.. lol..
went on to find Miss Quek[Mrs Lee] and Miss Thong.. Miss Quek hadn't changed much the last time i saw her.. other than being few months pregnant now.. haha.. we talked about literally almost anything from politics.. education system.. our aspirations.. Sze Sian's IP in TJC.. [gosh thats where im going], what the name of our unborn baby will be.. haha.. yea.. loads of stuff.. that somewhat concluded our visit with a photo of us 6 Faith ppl who went of cuz.. lol.. i will upload it as soon as i get it from erlina.. =P
