(quite a number of us are missing but ya it's a weekday so not all the guys could make it)
how long has it been? 7 years? time sure flies doesn't it. now the girls are all getting on with their live in uni while the guys are still slogging out in ns (note that both guys there are from mindef. ha! one medic and one clerk)
somehow gathering with this bunch of people always felt... different. the last time we saw each other was what... chinese new year i think. then before that was gathering at suling's place on new year's eve. but nonetheless they were all enjoyable times, talking about the past, stupid stuff that happened during trainings and races. like how we would chao geng on the other side of pandan reservoir when we were supposed to be doing our long runs and how cheryl shook the official's hand after the race when the official was asking actually for the baton (i still find this damn hilarious).
and the girls always never seem to fail to mention how i've been short back i was in sec1 and how much i've grown taller since then. but some things just never change. xinying is still as grumpy, wenrong still hates chinese, suling is still as anime crazy as before (or crazier). jiazhen is still as fair, cheryl still looks blur and zhenjie is still... erm... let's see.... ah ya. zhenjie still has his bomberman hole in his chest (i think).
then there were the juniors. michelle's batch was almost mia except for melissa and desmy who came, disappeared, reappeared and left -.- lirui's batch was mostly present except for some. lirui is still the center of attendtion as usual, with his mega crappy-ness. it's quite a surprise to find out that ms chng is his civics tutor and physics teacher and it's bloody hilarious listening to him complain about her. and low kwee peng is teaching amanda and iris champagne is teaching ningxin gp. lucky them =)
and then there was claire's batch which i don't really know well (except siew hwee was trying to disfigure the chickens at the bbq pit ytd). beyond that batch i could only recall the faces i saw back i was teaching in rv at the start of the year.
ah... those were the times (note: i'm not old). these little things really made me realise how much athletics actually meant to me in school.
