Finally, ICCT was over!!! What a tedious week! And to think that I was so stressed out by the whole thing and the evaluation that came along. During the 2-person fight, I got to fight with probably the strongest guy in my whole Battery. Wah. Had to do it cos I had no choice, since my weight was closest to his. But still 14kg apart. -_- So anyway, he struck me a hard blow on my head that got me 'shaky' for a while but I was glad I was able to take the whole process and was on my feet all the while. I think I hit him lots too. Haha. But hooray, it was an achievement.
Went back to JJC today for their Love Fiesta '07. I was totally in awe of all the changes that have been made to the school. The new building seemed so happening. They even have a flying fox station there! So exciting! And the carnival was even infused with a UK funfair theme. You could see rides you would see in those funfairs. Wow. It was just too happening. It was a whole package, much better than what we had last time. I was just amazed by how modernised the school has become. No wonder nowadays there seem to be many people who are eager to enter JJC. Since when did it become such a hot choice? But then, albeit there were many changes, taking a walk around the college still brought back many wonderful memories. The musty odour of the corridors was just too familiar. Nostalgia indeed.
Oh shucks, now I regret being a nerd all my academic life before NS. I guess I've missed out quite a bit. Though year 2 and 3 in JJ I had made some improvements. But then, it could have been more. I could have spiked up my hair, wore low-hipster pants, joke in between lessons, quarrelled with some teacher, stayed back after school to play hide-and-seek in the school compound, took part in any major school events...
And to think I missed out quite a bit. So much for being a nerd.
Now I'm regretting. How I wish to be like Peter Pan. To be away in Neverland, and be forever young. But I know it is impossible. Time keeps ticking. Life goes on. I can only look back and reminisce at what I have once had, and hope for better prospects for the future.
It's a Saturday night. And I'm booking in soon for guard duty tomorrow. How happy can I be?
