full circle


Well. On the personal side of life, this week's most interesting event was me getting 350 dollars poorer. This was due to me buying a second-hand Pearl Eliminator Double Pedal that usually costs around 500. It's almost brand new except for a scratch on the connecting shaft, other than that it's a steal. I much prefer em to the Iron Cobras I borrowed a while back.

Alas, life has once again come full small circle in the big circle of life. It seems like only yesterday that Lester was wearing short pants...Oh wait it was yesterday that Lester was wearing short pants. Ironically I believe his short pants were more like long pants in sec1, seeing as they're the same pair. I shall now attempt to recap 10 rather memorable things from sec 1 to sec 4 in non chronological order. Do appreciate that I'm being very open and honest about some stuff.

Sec 1:
-Yoon Lay Beng made me introduce myself to the queer boy next to me in orientation, Lim Zi Yang
-A rather large nose belonging to Darren Low appeared in front of my face while at some cultural thing during orientation

-Charmed classmates with humour and dramatic renditions of Darth Maul's death and Legolas' unique abilities
-Co-invented the Limzy Chronicles
-Daniel Tan
-The entire "bootpolish" performance and preparation
-Getting my Karate Jnr Black Belt (fear not I've forgotten everything)
-Going to London/Amsterdam
-Watching tons of movies with Conrad

Sec2:
-Malacca OEP

There's a lot more to be said about these 4 years in acs(i), but I feel that these were mostly the times that I was the happiest, with the exception of sec2 where it wasn't exactly a very happy year. As friends have come and gone, my close friends still remain by my side, supporting me and making my day, everyday. As for those who have rather severed ties with me, I wish you luck in your future endeavors, whether I'm a part of it or not. Life is like a circle, it does not end. It's not like a triangle or a rectangle, which ends...they have corners. But not a circle, it has no corners. Through the hardships and good times, I feel we've all come out satisfied, especially with this year. I couldn't have asked for better friends to spend my time with.

To 4.8 Apollos; Limzy, Andrew, Justin, Lester, Joel - Thanks and All the Best =)
