Went back to high school side yesterday to witness the ORD of part d'09 together with the rest of my brothers. It was the first time that we went back as seniors and it felt really nostalgic. Just a little more than a year ago it was our turn to pass-out of HCINCC and hand over the reins to the next batch of NCOs, and Im sure many of us felt empty, unsure of what to fill our time with on Wednesdays and Fridays. One year on, looking at now all of us have went our own ways, with different CCAs, subject combis, commitments, or even girlfriends(for some haha), but we know that we still have something in common within us.
Yesterday, sitting at SALT centre terraces with the rest of part d'08, I felt really at home with all the familiar faces around me, be it talking crap or making lame jokes and bullying juniors or just relieving the old memories we had. After ORD some of us went to KAP where we caught up with one another (and got ourselves updated with the latest scandals/gossips). It was one of the times when I got to speak freely and just be myself, which had became rare especially since JC life started. It was comforting to know that our bondedness(i know there's no such word) has not eroded over time =)
Started feeling unwell halfway through the video montages, went home and took some panadols before I slept. Woke up to a 38.8 fever today, with a bad sore throat. Uncle drove me around the area to find a clinic that opens on sat. Consultation and meds came up to $66, burnt a hole in my mum's pocket. Came back home, mum made some light porridge, ate and went to sleep. Feeling slightly better now, fever dropped to 37.7. Woke up intending to do some work but ended up blogging here. Hope its not h1n1 =X I want to be back at sch on mon =(
We did it, together.*
