NJC

I just went to Youtube and searched for njc.

Viewed all the videos available there, involving people i know, events i know.

Man. i realise how much i really really miss those days back then.

Saw the video when NJCSB clinched the gold with honors back in 2005, the hysteria, joy and tears that all of us shed. Tears of joy and relief.

For the hardwork, team spirit, sacrifices and bonds that were forged and memories that will forever be etched in our minds.

Tears of joy.

Then i went to see NJCSB's pubstunt for last year. once again, it still bring smiles to my face. Tess's singing, though out of tune and a bit weird, is still hilarious.

I miss the days where we will meet at the linkway and wait for the QMs to open the door, how we used to ran to the parade square because we're late. The late night trainings, the torture of reaching sch before sun rises and leaving only after sun sets, how we scribble on the scores, how we argue unreasonable and bully ash during band pracs, the stench of the room, the stuffiness when the OM refuses to let us have the air con on, the section lunches on saturdays, the mad rush to exit the room before the uncle closes the gate at 1.30 pm on sat, how we use to go to NIE for late night practises, the mad rush to copy homework on the always messy table in the mornings, playing the out-of-tune piano, fiddling with Deon's harp, eating in band prac, sleeping and talking non-stop under Mr Ho's nose, cracking silly jokes and making fun of the few rumored couples in band etc etc etc.

I miss those days despite the hardships.

Also watched eric's short clip and what he has to tell the class about. Totally agree with what he said.

Class chalet's videos brought back loads of wonderful memories.

The joy, the laughter, the silly jokes, the nicknames, the cheers we do for each other whenever someone goes up the podium, the way we'll chiong out of LT once it ended to chope seats in the canteen, the way we always create gossips out of nowhere, how we'll make great fun out of a small thing and have a good laugh over it in class, how we make the teachers so pissed that they'll exit the class, how we'll sneak to the roof to play Daidi, our birthday celebrations and the WEIRD gifts we'll give each other on special occasions, such as Valentines etc, how we copy tutorial answers from each other, how we cheered each other on, how we use to run from the cabin to the main blocks when it rains, how we tried to wrap jiaqi with the blanket on her birthday and the visits to Hsiu Tzu's house, how we use to cry in each other's arms, how we gave each other support. Not to forget how Aravin was so afraid of flying insects and how he "shouted" at eric and guys to stop it and how much we all detest Z*** L** and Ms C*** for accusing Haikel and Aravin for cheating during SPA.

All these really brings back good memories. i hope all of us still stay in touch in the years to come.

But yes, i hope that by then, nobody remembers that i'm used to be called Lucy Th*** B**** by the pp in class... dots. i hope this name won't haunt me for the rest of my life.

I realise i really really miss my NJ days. Though tough, stressful and demoralising, i realise i actually enjoyed myself.

I cherish those days. I want to go back.

Sad thing is, people mostly start to cherish things once they're gone. I'm one of them.

I guess in my current situation, things back then is heaven compared to hell now, i suppose. It's so hard to make friends like those i've met in NJ.

NJ still rocks my socks.

I wish to return.
