Sunday, June 04, 2006 Old Times Sake  Wow it has been a long time or at least it seems that way since i stepped back into rjc a few days ago to collect the results cert and yearbook. I think it is because of NS(we take every chance we get to slam it of course), we are totally cut off from the civilian world and you kinda forget your past life with its freedom and all. It was the usual 3 of us who went back together to collect our stuff, namely, me and jeremy and clement. Haha the old mugging gang back during the 'A's No matter how stressful it was during the month during the run-up to the Big @"$%, I thought it was one of the most fun time too. Ah well true that there was no CCAs(odac kinda died after j1...), insane amounts of notes and TYSs and a rather limited social life. A typical day would begin with my dad dropping me off in sch before sending my brother to sji. There would most likely be revision lectures that we might attend in the hope of absorbing some vital hints or tips that might secure us the desperately needed As but statistics have shown that 90% of the time i end up sleeping or doing other work cos the lecturer isn't too helpful.(BUT you still go because you never know and since you are in sch anyway might as well act like a student) There will definitely be a canteen break after that b4 we head to the library(our second home). We mugged like mad lor spending almost 8 hrs a day in the library and i always brought a pile of stuff to do even though i probably finish less than half of it at the end of the day. And yeah i find that studying at the sch library(actually any place other than home) was more relaxing(i m not sure if it's more effective though...) because you see other people mugging too and you don't feel so fucked up anymore + you don't have yr parents looking over your shoulders! There would always be this bunch of regulars like clement(usually mug together cos in same class and all) or jeremy koh(probably spent more time with him in that month than in the past 2 years) or b wong(who mugs alone or with lynn toh HAHA and enjoys playing pikachu volleyball and stashes a bike in sch so he can cycle to j8 and buy food for ppl and cycle around at night like an idiot) Aditya will be there too but he prefers to retreat back to boarding for the serious studying(i don't blame him he probably did the right thing) Most of s03d and other friends are home mugger so they only make guest appearances when there are "hot" lectures like gp where you would practically see the whole school lol. Sometimes when you get the whole gang together then it would be a lot more rowdy and fun and less work gets done. I still remember that time when me, clement, heng lip and kok yeeonn managed to get ourselves invited to vora's house for the night haha we were walking around in ecp and made a pitstop at macs before going back for ice cream and sleep. Ah lunch at rjc is kinda sad because there are only so many stores open in the hols and we have all ate their food SO MANY TIMES B4. No one wants to go s11 or j8(unless it's some special day) because we are a bunch of lazy f*&kers. As per custom, we would eat and complain abt the shit food and bitch abt the As and talk abt what we would do after them and where we would go. Other perennial topics would include a certain someone in the class(actually quite a few lah any1 who ain't there is pretty much fair game) or the girls in our class and their policy of isolation(which is kinda unfair cos we didn't do anything either).Dinner time would soon arrive and if we stayed back it was most likely boarding food which was cheap and filling. In hindsight, it tasted pretty decent(compared to NS sloop) and we could always get extras if we went last. The fish and chips deserve special mention. The chips were deep fried and sprayed with enough salt to give all of us hypertension and the fish wasn't any better, being so full of oil that they just felt soggy but we loved it and always stayed for more. There was once when we seriously overdosed on the food and clement had to head home early because he felt faint. The two survivors returned to the school with queasy stomachs and mild headaches. I usually spent another hour or so trying to study. See the distractions around the school are limitless. jeremy will be playing some silly ball game or allan will be around the corner with his ridiculously oversized inline skates bought at some bargain sale or look out the door and see benedict wong on his bike, "exercising" or you might see someone that you didn't expect to find hanging around in sch after hours and you spent some time just chatting. When the time comes to pack up, i start searching for ppl to hitch a ride with to the nearby bishan mrt. if no rescue is likely and i m alone then it's music on and a leisurely 15 min stroll to the station(or if i m seriously late then it's a 5 min sprint) Yeah i always feel better on the ride home where you know the work's done for the day and it's slacking time.......
