Yesterday night was quite fun, we had a break from fundraising to attend a gala dinner cum awards ceremony for Champions of the Earth by the UNEP at Shangri-la. There were inspiring moments but it was mostly boring. I think Singaporeans are damn rude, they actually walk out of the ceremony and have little noisy gatherings outside and the mass exodus to pee when Tanya Chua was belting out some weird song is really rude.

Well, according to lampy, we will be a bunch of failures but somehow I just know that we are a winning team. Cheers to Interns 2006 with our heart to serve and guts to speak out. We went through hell, shit and that bloody schizo by supporting and trusting each other. Go babes!! Remember that as more crap comes our way, each of us will have 7 others to keep us grounded.

Joyce finally invented the computer and sent me the back-logged pictures!
Coincidentally, I was just packing through and trying to catalogue my photos. I went rumaging and ah-ha!! Finally, I came up with this oooold photo (it really seemed like a long time ok!). It was a Sec 1 photo of class 2B when I was in Dunman High…and yes…wearing the lampshade skirt and 3-fingers tucked out blouse. Stop sniggering. The photo is not particularly flattering but I am still shocked by my toady image. It’s really not that I think I look good now(I have accepted the truth that I never will, XY just reminded me of that) but its about…about…erm..how I thought I was quite good looking at the point of time. Sigh…that was really damn delusional and hilarious. Objectively, I looked like I was wearing a wig and ugly specs on a blotchy face. So unglam!! But ok lah…haha. Its quite funny. If you tell me that you can’t find me in the picture, I will kiss you in joy. Heh.. Everyone looked damn cute though.
As I remembered, I did not have a great love for my sec 2 class unlike 4D, council or 04S73. Maybe it was this lack of personal stake and my own emotional immaturity at that time. However, when huishan, joyce and I were reminiscing at Balcony yesterday, I realised that there were plenty of amazing memories(the noticeboard-the bloody thing that took so much effort to create, joyce as class mascot,2b chalets-complete with less than stellar attendance). And even more so, plenty of friendships that were forged-some strong, some weak and mostly unforgettable. But would I want to go back again? Probably not, too many ghosts to face and I like where I am at now. I guess I just grew to love myself more and appreciate the people around me. I live with a confidence, which I took some time to find and have faith in every step that I take. I honour the Lord and He has given me so much to be thankful for.

Somehow, we just look more glam now and less awkward. The old picture is really hilarious but then again, I wonder how much have our psyche and emotions been altered and shaped as we grew through Dunman and JC. I know that I have changed, definitely for the better(less toady looking), but I know it to be a bittesweet process. And another 6 years from now, where will I stand once again?
