well then. friday night was the celebratory dinner. the food was good, definitely, and had a pretty good time i guess.

the journey there was uneventful, save for the fact that Brandon (ladies, look away if you're a tad bit squeamish) has a 24-hour hard-on, LOL.

when we got there, just for the hell of it, and also to stave off boredom, i out-of-the-blue challenged Shi Zheng to hand games, you know, the old ones. Specifically, 'Zha' and 'Zhi Ko Pa'. i played him, and Brandon played Yan Qian (a Sec1 junior). Needless to say, i emerged a comfortable victor over Shi Zheng, then Brandon and I had a playoff match for the title of champion (i know, this is uber lame. i'm laughing at my own lame-ness as i type this). i raced into an early lead, before he had a mid-game surge to put the score finely balanced at 6-5 (to me). but after that i raced back into my early-game form and ended with a comfortable victory, lol.

Christ, can't believe i just typed that load of horseshit, lol. anyway, the food was good, no complaints from me. Eugene had a personal setback. we had a little private chat. i'm really really sad for him; everything's just coming at the same time for him. for his sake, i really hope it all works out, and soon. he doesn't deserve this kind of shit, anyway.

after that, i sorta joined up with Ben and James, and we talked a little, about how time has come and gone, just like that. we're the only sec4 guys remaining in the band, if you haven't realised. everyone else has dropped out. only we prevailed. cheers mates, it's been awesome.

even when you add Eugene in, there's still only 4 guys graduating this year. kinda sad, huh. lol. ah well, that just means that the 4 of us leave a legacy of sorts. we're all of us friends at that too. pretty cool shit.

photo-taking was in abundance. that pic up there is my personal favourite. I'll miss BT's direction.

after all the festivities, people started going home, or just talking. it's nice to sit by the river. the view is tres magnifique. had a long chat with Clara over her future, lasted all the way on the trip home (we took similar routes to our respective homes; i dropped at an earlier bus stop than her, that's the only difference). hope it all works out for her.

well, that was it for yesterday. it was a nice night. thinking about the past is really nice, you know. you almost never think about the bad things, so it all seems rosy, even if it wasn't at that particular point of time.
