Haha! Fun and exciting day and well-worth the hype and excitement. Yes, I'm talking about take 5! Contrasting this to last year, where I was more involved in playing card games with my classmates and eventually completely left the take 5 venue to go to xiuhue's house (and so doing literally doing anything except enjoying the take 5 activities [though I did watch EGG and saw DAWN dancing! LOL! EGG rocked!!!]), but this year, I dunno, perhaps it was the silent back-of-our-heads-revelation that this IS the last year of being in a class, the last year studying before NS or university, the last year where you'll make friends and sustain relationships that will hopefully last the test of time. When I say this now and I can already imagine the sadness on the day we separate, I can't even imagine my melancholy on the day itself. I'm kinda scared.
But ANYWAY how did I deviate to such a sad topic, let's talk about Take 5! What a difference a year makes! Last year at this time I hardly knew dawn even when I was watching her "dance" on stage, and this year, we're writing the report of Talentime together! Rofl. Kudos goes out to all of the performers, I really loved all of them (really makes we wonder why I missed talentime last year). Speaking of which I just realized I spent my whole Take 5 watching talentime haha (but it was worth it). OMG! The applause speaks for itself - Ham Ji Peng [how do you spell it?] Hokkien Band, Fivesome, 5ive, Pixel Animation by Dennis & Josh, even Titus the stand-up comic! Haha. GREAT! Really especially liked Fivesome and Pixel Animation.
Anyways the real fun part was after Take 5 and a whole group of us (I think 16? Lol, thats a lot) decided to go to Tampines Mall to eat. Along the way I led them to the horse ranch and we patted horses for a while, then due to the close proximity of my home to the park, and the lagginess of my class and cos I had a bike with me, I actually managed to go home and bathed and re-packed my bag before going down to meet at the bus-stop (and they were actually behind me. lol again), then at TM our group split into 11 - 5 and we ate at Swensen's and after which we were narrowed to 10 when xiuhue left and we took a bus to char's house. Interesting phenomena: I got motion-sick while en route - my first time on a bus.
Anyways, we went to char's house and as per 3L-tradition, stoned and zombied, gawked over char's stash of bling-bling chinese shows and music, sat on her swing, avoid being raped by her dog (who is so ironically name Baby), etc etc. And so sensing the opportunity, yes, I played maplestory (great way to pass time at a friend's house eh) while the rest watched the Twins Effect with oh-so-cute-and-cool Edison Chen [chen guan xi]. I attempted to level at her house but due to ridiculous circumstances on my part I could not... :(
Ok anyway I managed to watch the last of the Twins Effect just as HuiShan, JS and Chester came back with our FOOD! Had a wonderful meal with all my friends and the mood was so cheery and joyous, really warm and nice and makes you wish that such a crystalline iota in time would last just a while longer, for the sake of the saccharine moment...
Really love my friends. Honestly, it's quite funny how I ended up being in this "gang" (as Felicia's blog puts it), keeping in mind that I was a workaholic in primary school and didn't bother making friends (much, only 1 - Ian), and secondary school where I made a small number of true and genuine friends (Calvin, SMS, Ian, Jon, Janson, Sam, Benoi), not to mention the hellish 3G/4G days that I absolutely abhorred [strangely enough I found CQ, QH, CM n timo there Haha].
So, now I'm in JC2 with 3L, and never before could I EVER imagine myself sitting at a round table with 9 friends whom I cherish and love greatly eating together and doing nonsense and somehow the differing clash of personalities yet all managing to effectively amalgamate and explode in pizzazz. It's really what the cynical me of last time used to comment that such "stuff" would dissolve in time to come, but now when I'm in it myself I so wish it would not. I rly rly rly rly rly rly rly love all of them to shreds, by how i can talk to them and chll out and be totally crazy with them and them not making fun of me for maybe-you-don't-know-what reason that I've lived with since I knew. As cheesy as it may sound (in previous years I would have shot myself if i said this), it's really like a second family - friends, and when I mean family i mean going through both rough and good, showing both the good moods and the bad moods, and even horrid moods and faces, but through it all we grow stronger and the bond deepens like a knife (lol sorry for the sadistic imagery but it's very true), such that when it gets pulled out you feel a sudden pulse of alienness and you die. Unless the knife is put back in again :)
Haha, as re-phrased from Felcia's blog, I love the "gang"! And I think God for it too. In my December 2006 holidays I prayed for primarily 3 things, 1) To help me improve my fitness [which was partially fufilled since I managed to do 8 pullups from 0 all my life and passed NAPFA on the first try last year], 2) To maintain friendships made in Sec school [successful], and 3) a good class. Well, God doesn't dissappoint, and while he didn't give me a good class, he gave me a GREAT one. And I'm so grateful, so grateful for 3L, so greatly for "the gang".

Ever heard of the term "successful failure"? Well, even if you haven't I hope you don't become one.
Cos I am.
And very successful at that.
