~Life isn't a matter of milestones, but of moments.~
I guess this really depicts how I felt when I finally had to bid farewell to Hall 6 after four good long years here. I mean, wow, I actually spend four years of my youth here! But if you were to let me start all over again, there is no other place I would rather be. Absolutely nowhere else.
When I was still a freshie, I came into NTU as a girl with an abundance of energy and positivism for the future that lies ahead. As someone who loves to make new frenz and do things with a passion, no doubt soon I dove straight into hall life, immersed myself amidst its rich culture and relished in the joy of getting to know so many hall mates of which some will become my best pals in decades to come. While I dedicated myself to endless commitments here, the one regret I would have was to neglect a deeply loved one then, & silly me only realised how much I needed him when all was gone & lost. But well, life moves on.
Perhaps everything in life really happens for a reason. I met Junwei, fell in love and soon we were together. I took up sports and recre games, & I really LOVED being the softball pitcher during my 3rd and 4th year. I saw it as a challenge to myself (like Benson says, it's only between you and the gunny sack =p) and I knew if I wanna win, I gotta win myself. Who cares about the batter, I'm going to get you out anyway. Haha. Trainings were long and tiring, but well worth it and really, you'll miss them lots when next time you can't even find time to train. Like softball, darts was another game I saw as a challenge to myself. I just find it sooooo satisfying whenever I shout "Check out" and left the other party stunned. My 3rd year was good, when I won 6 out of 7 games. But 4th year was even better, when I won all 7 games I played and left behind a tiny legacy of my own. My only regret was that it was still not enough to bring Hall 6 to the semis. But well, I have absolute faith that one day we will get in!!~
Back to hall life, well, my closest bunch of frenz are of coz the LCBs!! (aka Lao Cha Bos). We had steamboat sessions, clubbing sessions, drinking sessions, mj sessions, & even Salsa and Hip Hop sessions wif the 32 LCBs. Haha. Life was shiok and carefree in those days, even though the endless projects were dreadful sometimes. Sometimes all it takes is for someone to initiate gatherings & hold a group together if they don't want the bond to fade. I do think that the LCBs are a special group of gals, and after we all grad together, we will still remain a very close, crazy, spontaneous bunch of frenz. Come to CS, well, I must admit I spend much more time in hall commitments than school commitments. But, being the OGL of Apollo will always be a vivid and sweet memory in my heart. I love the CS foc and I love playing all the games that we did. Too bad all good things had to come to an end. Glad I found my 'kor' after that foc too!
Thinking back of the good old days, I can't help but sigh at the thought that 16 years of school life has passed me by. Even if I want to, there's no more going back and all I can do is look forward to the next phase of my life. I'm glad that my years in school have been greatly cherished and I'm proud to say that I do not have much regrets. Will always be grateful for the things I have learnt in school, but even more grateful for the things that school did not teach me. Things like compassion, love, determination, friendship. Thanks to the people who have stepped into my life, coz' you are the ones who taught me all these precious lessons.
