Reflections

Hello all, it's been some time since I last posted, so here's an update on whats been happening in my life and some general reflections of my own.

Well like jian said, while i am missing the full-of-shit and devil-may-care days of teamB in s3/4 perhaps the time has come where all of us take on our respective paths in lives and mature as people and as friends. Was watching the stupid video of us trying to pull down a screen in s4 alone at home today and the memories couldnt help flooding back as I knew deep down in my heart that things would never be the same again in RJC.

Then again, for us change is the only constant. I am grateful that all of us made it back to RJC, doing well in the Os and being able to congregate in our little corner in the canteen every morning. Seeing the same warm familiar faces that I've seen over and over again for the past few years. People change and the circumstances under which we operate change as well. You can't hope for everything in life, and ultimately all you can do is to cherish the opportunities that come your way and be content with what you have.

It has always been a little regret of mine that the frienships I forged in teamB were to be of a superficial nature, where we would without a doubt enjoy each others' company but not be able to share our innermost thoughts and feelings. Whereas in the past I could only confide with my closest scout friends, I am truly happy that all of us are much more comfortable with each other and take genuine interest and concern in our problems.

For me personally, life is going great now. Our recently concluded campfire ended on a bang with hugely positive responses from all, and all I can say is that the effort paid off ultimately, and that each and every GC member had a role to play in its success. My academic life now however is in a hugely sorry state. Apart from maths I have serious difficulty keeping up now since my past month was spent on sleepless nights working on choreographies and campfire and Im just simply too tired to listen in lectures. My econs is in total disarray, and Im behind by 2 tutorials each for chem and physics. I will have about 2 weeks to seriously catch up on my work before planning for annual camp resumes and I die horribly again sighs. Like I said however, this is the path I've chosen and it is one I will not regret.

Even with all these sacrifices I will look back after my term and know that the experience was worth it. Many people fail to understand the work I put in for scouts but it hardly matters anymore when I hear comments like: "aies just go and stone evry wed only and order your people around" or "aiyah damn stupid u shldve joined a sport" cos I answer to myself and noone else.

Anyway I shouldn't be moaning about anything now since life's going pretty well apart from academics which I should catch up on sooner rather than later I hope. I've nothing much else left to say, just that I'm glad we've all opened up and matured gradually and teamB isnt just a place to shit around and talk cock anymore.

Goodnight for now.
