and I still can't believe that we're halfway through November already! Where on earth did the last 10 months go to? I feel like I haven't done anything meaningful or useful. On the other hand, I have some vague memories of slogging away before a computer in an office earlier this year. I need to chronicle my life more systematically, however boring it may sometimes.
Anyway, just a really random thought, since when were we allowed to start our sentences with 'but'? Or was 'because' the forbidden one?

Squad 11, Slam Dunk, Rubber Band Wars and Scandals
I just came back from a primary school gathering. It was a lot better than I expected; I'm really glad that I don't have to regret my decision to not go to play beach.
The last time we met up was almost 6 yrs ago when we were all Sec 4. The girls were expecting plenty of awkwardness between e guys and us, but it turned out rather well. I guess it's because we're all grown up now. We no longer hate the boys like we used to in primary school and it is always interesting to find out what everybody is doing now.
It'll be good to keep it regular, but I can't imagine meeting up say, every quarterly. We'd run out of things to say really soon. I mean, how much time can we spend talking abt the past and what we're doing now? Not that I don't like reminiscing, I find our past antics really hilarious, but there really are only so many things we can talk abt, no?
But I won't mind meeting the girls more often. Haha. Dbl standards. But seriously, I'm quite happy that we could pick up from where we left off the last time we met (which was last March) and just continue our friendship.
Earlier this year, I was really envious when I heard that 6A2 was going to have a gathering. Now that my class has had one, I wouldn't mind having a cohort gathering. It'll be fun to see ppl from other classes too.
In addition to the items listed in the title: playing catching, writing autograph books and listing my top, best, special, good, normal and bad friends, chicken nuggets with chilli and ikan bilis, and playing basketball for every PE.

Belated Spring Cleaning II
And yes, I have finished cleaning up/out my room. My bookshelves now look more like bookshelves, my study table is no longer covered w my bags and I now have a makeshift dressing table. Now if only I can get myself to re-paint my room and put up the curtains.
I came across a box of letters that got me really nostalgic. I used to exchange letters with a few of my friends from primary and secondary school. We would write like 5-7 pages long letters to each other filled with crap and I don't know what else. I really miss it.
Anyways, I have finally started the internship in church. It's kinda lonely 'cos I'm the only one.
But I really hope that I will make FULL use of this time.

Belated Spring Cleaning
I finally came around to cleaning up my room. I have finally decided to steel my heart and start throwing away all the things that I have not been able to bring myself to throw away for the past 21 years.
As with every spring cleaning, I always take more than 3 days and Day 1 just passed yesterday. Today wasn't counted as Day 2 because I didn't do anything.
So I was cleaning out my drawers, and I found this file where I kept a bunch of things from my overseas trip w my school when I was in Pri 6. I found the itinerary, Do's and Don'ts of the trip, To-Bring List, a journal of the trip (I forget if we were told to write it or I brought that book along to write because that book is simply too ugly for me to have bought it), and some other miscellaneous things. What really amused me was of course the journal. I was seriously amused by my thoughts when I was that age. And I do remember some of the things that happened, though I really cannot remember what I did wrong that got me a scolding from Mrs Samuel.
That trip rocked though. School trips are the best way to travel. OK, sometimes. Not all the time. AARRRRR I want to go back to pri sch!!
And I think I made friends rather easily back then unlike now. I was really close to this girl who was like in a class that was the opposite end of mine, both geographically and "level-ly" during the trip. I'm quite sad that I didn't continue e friendship but then again, I didn't even continue w those in my class. :/
