Looking back over these 2 days, I feel nostalgia hitting, hard.
Yesterday morning I had driving after like 2 weeks. I think I forgot QUITE ABIT of parking.
After which, headed back to hall where I met Shumin at our hall bus stop surprisingly! So off to FAL together. I think that's the last time I'll be heading there from hall 15.
HanJie talked like nobody's business. I think he was quite funny! :)
Failed attempt to swim! After SEVEN freaking laps, besides the fact that there was tons of chinamen there I wanted to puke seriously. So disgusting. THEN, when I stopped, something got into my eye, I blinked, and $100 came shooting out of my eye and INTO THE WATER! THANK GOD nobody came near me during that time (and move the waters) and by a MIRACLE (seriously) I managed to catch it, LOSE IT, and catch it again. So I gave up on swimming. And tried to run. BUT I forgot to bring a proper rubber band. The one I used for swimming is like un-rubberised. SO hair kept like bouncing around. I was so irritated I gave up after 800m. (IMAGINE!) Gym was out since they were having papers.
HOW PATHETIC.
SO, I just went back to hall.
And went out for dinner at JP at 8pm. First time trying Crystal Jade! Xiaolongbao was pretty yummy. But I was like SO FULL. We had BEN AND JERRY'S one free tub from leewei's friend who works there and thus had 3 tubs for free and gave one to him! SO we ate ate ate. And then, it was gone. I ended up sleeping at like 1+ and waking up at like 9+ the next day.
To the pool we went. Reached about 11 in the end and swam till almost 12. Atrocious sun! At this rate, I'm like gonna get skin cancer. Sets were uh okay? I think marcus is madly FAST tho! HOW am I gonna improve :(
We went NIE gym afterwards. It was a pretty cool place. First time there. Followed marcus around and we did 3 sets. I think I almost died. aND I think I'm super MUSCLE-LESS! :( I shall try harder the next time. After all that, marcus had this great idea to do the 7mins abs thing. I kinda cheated on quite abit. BUT it was an interesting workout which I think I might be trying by myself at home. Except without marcus there screaming away to continue doing, doubt I'll even be able to do HALF!
REALLY. what will we do without him. So congratulations to me, I did a canoe training session minus the running but plus swimming instead. (not a fair swop I'd say haha) Ate at NIE canteen. On our way walking through NIE, he intro-ed us to the art room. It's REALLY nice. In a cool sort of way. With stairs leading down into the abyss. haa. Into the big area with all the materials. SO COOL!
By the time we reached back it was like 3+ I think. Life is bliss like that don't you think so :) You know, I'm gonna miss them SO very much. I'm gonna miss walking back to hall15 together after coming from a training. I'm gonna miss having them a window shout away. I'm gonna miss stupid things like marcus making WEIRD noises when his room is like DARK before turning on the lights. (like dots...) I'm gonna miss going over to their room to do stupid things, to just chill, talk rubbish, PRINT THINGS (hahha much thanks to leewei here).
Okay, that's marcus trying to sing into his spoon after last night's ice cream. Photo courtesy of his roomie! I think if marcus is gonna see this he'll scream! hhaa.
This was taken by my roomie a lonnnnng time ago, sometime in the beginning of this year. Leewei looks like he's enjoying his watermelon alot, and marcus looks like he's stoning at whatever I'm talking -.-
Today, I heard lee wei's pitter patter of footsteps down his block's stairs, across the connecting bridge, up my block's stairs and hearing them approaching and stopping at our door. (hM can recognise it VERY well) For the last time I would think so. Today, marcus n leewei shouted over 'BYE JOCELYN' (at the different times they left) for probably the last time.
The sad truth is, I'M GONNA MISS STAYING HERE. I'M GONNA MISS THOSE TWO PPL ALOT. As for my roomie, I know I'm gonna be seeing more of her still anw hahhhaa :) There's tj alumni! :)Our room in it's current state:
THERE. That's their room. Bottom row, middle square. the bottom most left window. That's what I see always on my left. That's how we talk across :) I hate it most when it's dark. Because it means they're not there. You know, I've come to depend on them so much. When anything happens and roomie is not around, it's them I first turn to :)
It's time to move on, as much as these happy times remain. Shelve these memories into yet another box of happiness ready to be taken out, flipped through, and smiled at.
Today, during quiet time, I learnt about pruning. How God prunes us, removes some parts of our lives, to make way for branches which will be able to bear more fruit. So, I'm gonna learn how to trust in Him. There'll be a way for me to get a hall. If there isn't, I know He'll make a way where everything will turn out fine whatsoever :)
