Friday, December 14, 2007 nyco alumni dinner

going back just made me realise how old i am (remember the sec 1s' reaction: "wow! you are 21 years old!" to yileng), how far i actually am from the current nyco batch. it seemed only yesterday that i was working together with the rest of my batch for music excellence.
and seeing that so few from our batches went back is a further reminder that we are so far away now. i still remember everyone from my batch, and expected to see them. but that they did not appear reminds me that not everyone is as attached and not everyone feels to go back.
seeing how chewfei is now the mother of the herd after all the alumni has left reminds me yet again how old i am. all left there in m402 are all little children whom i had once looked after too. =)

can i just don't grow up?
but if you don't, you wouldn't truly appreciate the joy you once had.

lying in the quadrangle, looking at the cloudless sky, staring at the orionids. reminds me of someone else, and how i have never gone to lie in the quadrangle at night during these wonderful camps to stare at the brilliant night sky.

and the tyre swings! reminds me of the times waiting for dad to come pick us up after co, how my sis, chin gi and i would sit on the swings, laugh and talk rubbish =)
the swings are still as fun to play with, still as squeaky and still as shaky haha.
