looks like i can't shy away from the entry eh. :P

anyway. anderson has really changed alot for the past few years, so it's no wonder that yy got stunned. i didn't realise the sports hub was up until a few weeks ago when i was driving along test route 8. so blue! ha. and yes yy anderson was getting kinda kiddy. the toilets at the canteen had those hammock-ish kind of nets on the ceiling with those paper leaves and they got some model toilet thing. zomg mans.

i miss the trainings at the temp block where we have to coordinate our footdrill damn well, especially for belok. like a few steps after i shout ke kanan belok i would have to shout another time of ke kanan belok before we have to hentak. i was really awed when hazelina's team can always maintain at the center of the narrow road lo. and the prac cases are always in the air-con classrooms. qingliang was like quite zai at casualty simulation and gets along the vaseline/lipstick/plasticine to make those fake blood and wounds. vincent once laid on the cold floor with his top off to have some injuries on his torso. hoho. (and yes yy i call him vinnie back then)

actually qingliang didn't hiam us as much as he hiam vincent's team in the sense that he would tell more things to vincent la (i remember i was quite unhappy about that part back then. :P). like reporting hafta be signs&symptoms-diagnosis-treatment and why we never do this do that. but i was quite touched that he turned up for our trainings, esp during nat comp when he came down to hq with us for a nursing training with derek tan where he became the patient and got manoeuvered by derek tan. ha. a good trainer and one of my inspirations to continue in sjab at such an early age (other than being inspired to go for ndp again after 2003. heh)

for nursing the girls would always tell me to smile properly (somehow my smile is kinda retarded or not serene enough for nursing) and made me memorise things to say during hn. and i think i ended up with not much tasks to do, even though i wasn't the main nurse talking to the patient (i think it was lihui). i was quite unable to figure out the 3 tweezers thing for wound dressing too. ha.

from 2003 to 2005 we had comp during december, so we would always chiong five days straight up till the day of the actual comp in hq. after all, she-who-mustn't-be-named doesn't approve alot of trainings in school, so back then we always had illegal trainings. then there's the legendary YOU MAKE MY BLOOD BOIL! jokes. it was 8-6 all day, thus i was lamenting to ros one day that things have changed alot over the years. it's now 9-4 lo. and one particular team even planned 9-12 trainings. like wts ok. and now the concourse is gone, no more christmas trees that i've seen since 03. 是有感情的ok. ):

camps had seemed to be such a faraway thing to me until the recent june camp when i went back. the tekan-ing is still there, the fetish for torturous standby bed is still there (it got warped over the years) with the love for my bonnie lies over the ocean never ceasing, the campfire is still there, the nightwalk is still there (but junecamp we had actual makeup! pingkee became a joker!), the longest camp (for numerous times to torture their voice) is still there and the mass cat is still there. i was hit with nostalgia when i watched the events unfold. jingjie's group performance in 04 was by far the bestest cf performance over the years and qingliang's batch's buttered(or margarined)-toilet-paper in a wok campfire is the most memorable one. nightwalks used to be super boring because we always had a longggg waiting time before or after our turn. thus in recent years there was screening of movies. (like kungfu panda in june)

till now when i go back anderson for training or camp i would always have the 手工面 for lunch. it was the staple food for us back in those training days and sometimes topped with the 糯米饭. and the bubble tea/nuggets/fries after school when we left the sj room together. we would always nua in the sj room listening to FIR/maroon5 with weekeong (or jq?)'s mp3 plugged to the speakers. She Will Be Loved and 我要飞 are like the classics! hoho. summerjoy was our fave with aunty sandy. somehow weekeong knows her and that's where we stored our cup and board over there after lugging all the way from queenstown ikea. the mrt people at amk said that actually we cannot bring up to the train lo. so thanks to the queenstown mrt people who let us in! haha. that trip was super memorable because that's the first time we've decided to spruce up the dull sj room and have decided to get new cupboards, which disappeared after we handed over. jasmine's batch never managed to saw the messages behind!

those years have been the golden years with so many fond memories. i once read in a book that after going through so much shit and pain during a particular time, when you looked upon those times again after a long time, the memories you have left are the fond ones. even though for me there has been some shits endured over the years (like not close to the girls until sec3 and the 自卑 that i can't be better than yy), and that i'm still not that competent as compared to the others, i'm still striving hard. at the end of the day, 最重要的是要对的起自己. and eventually i have the friendships that had survived in the past few years despite us not seeing each other regularly. it's what we had been through that made us strong and kept each other in our hearts. at least that's what i believe in.

p.s. the SHE song was 半糖主义 and we had some issues over the dancing part i think. but it was memorable nonetheless.

五月天's 突然好想你 played as i typed the last few paragraphs. how apt is that!

我们那么甜那么美那么相信
那么疯那么热烈的曾经

突然好想你.

p.s.p.s yy if you want to go for camp it's 22-24dec. and the number of seniors going over might just overtake the number of cadets going (including ncos). LOL!
