It's hard to imagine that this year is my 12th year of schooling, and my last year of core curriculum. It's even harder to accept the fact that I'm officially a Year 2 student now, and probably, I say probably (or maybe?), the Year 1 students will look on in awe and admiration at me like I did some of the seniors when I was a junior. Now that's a nice thought. :D

It's scary how the years go a-rolling. It seems the days are long, but the years are short, you know what I mean? During lessons it seems seconds seem to dragggg, but years will just slip past without you even realising. And I am going to be 18 this year. The legal age for alcohol and M-18s... but that is not the point lah. It's THE important year, the A Levels year, the do-or-die year. No more playing around or last minute chiong-ing for exams. Even now, in January only, I can feel just the teeny weeny bit of stress which will, no doubt, multiply as the months go by. Now that's a scary thought. :(

Yesterday night we had the usual once a year Nanyang B Division 2003 team reunion dinner at Crystal Jade Kitchen at the Takashimaya basement. It seemed only yesterday when we were still playing as a team on court. Nevertheless it was good catching up with people whom played a part in building nice memories from a special time in my life. Afterwhich we adjorned to the fountain at Ngee Ann City to take crazy pictures (posing as superheroes, among other insanities).

I like reunions, even though it's only once a year (it's supposed to be once a year anyways what). It's less of seeing how much our friends have changed, but more of how much we ourselves have changed.

But most things, most people, still stay the same. :)
