Exams are over..and i guess i flunk everything..tt's so sad:/
After exams..we went to eat at serene centre new jap restaurant. Me and ken, zihao, roman, dismas, adinia, angela, huijing, keesok, samantha, natalie, lpy..peilin's not here coz of bio 's'..smart people have a tougher life. We saw Melanie and Shawn too..why come to a place so near sch? lol./
But the best is yet to come. Me, ken and angela took the same bus home. We are supposed to go home when suddenly..angela asked us if we wanna go to this 'secret place' where many mediacorp artistes like to film their shows there. I guess there's no harm going, and i was quite bored at the thought of going home, so i went. But those 2 fella juz dun want to tell me where they are 'kidnapping' me to..so i juz follow..lol/
The trip was a trip that revived alot of my secondary sch memories. First, we took 154 from opp. lakeside station. The bus passed by my sch..and that was when i realized that i've seen the bus 154 before a few years ago..
"When i was in sec 3/4..sometimes i accompany my PRC frenz, like juan cheng, yi qun, wang yong etc to their bus-stop to take bus. (Note:* Anyone whom i find that i share alot of interests with/ have fun talking to is my friend. And for my friend, i dun mind having to sacrifice my own time to accompany them on their way home..or at least to the bus-stop in this case) Coz they stay in Chinese High hostel..they could only took 154 home. And that's the 1st few times i see bus 154..."
Of coz now i see the bus everyday when i go school./
so that bus passed by my school..thou not very near..but i could get a glimpse of it..and then passed that big canal in west coast..far away in the horizon is Pandan Reservoir..which is just opposite my sec sch (old location). I still rmb the times i jogged there for 2.4km run./
Then the bus reached somewhere in clementi..where we alighted to cross the road to take 963. From that bus stop, we could see ken's primary sch, Nan Hua Pri Sch. Then he starts reminiscing about his times there.../
After we took 963, we trio then talked alot about our past..mostly what happend when we are in sec sch..and pri sch../
I was really taken by surprise when we reached our destination..Which is River Valley High School (RV current site at SAJC old site)????!!!!/
But of coz we are not going there..it's juz a coincidence that the place angela is bringing us to is near RVHS...(Haiz~again i didn't enter my sec sch...coz these are not my RV of the old.)/
Labrador Park.
That's our destination. Angela's childhood memories (before 6) are all there..coz she lived in those rented apartments, now inhabited by bangalis, when she was young. I've gone there once before..during a biology field trip in sec 4. It's first time for ken thou./
We climbed down the aerial bridge, taking some pics on the way..before we reached the beach. It's high tide..and alot of marine creatures are hidden in the water. We strolled along the rocky beach, which have metal grillings to prevent us from wandering to the sea, and stopped occasionally to chat and see the scenery. We reached a place called "Dragon's teeth gate" (which we always encounter in pri sch social studies..Rmb how we always read about raffles blowing up the 2 huge rocks that prevented his ship from entering the harbor in Temasek?)/
There should be a few more strange stuff stated on the map. But i couldn't see the obelisk (some building), nor did i see the secret tunnel. But there are some paths leading to the heart of labrador park, where we could see cannon models and some strange plant species. But it's really a park..nothing special..except that the beach could be some form of hangout for couples, in the day or at night. Did you see that baby sleeping so soundly in that shelter along the beach? How i wish i could sleep liddat too../
We were soon out of the park and took 51 back to Jurong East (JE).
Memories flood back again. 51 is one of the buses that pass by my sec sch old site. Everything i see along the way seemed so familiar. The bus passed by some NUS hostels..with names like Benjamin, Raffles etc..so say Ken, who's brother is staying somewhere inside.
If i ever get into NUS ( which i seiously hope to)..i wish to stay in one of the hostels..away from my house..where i can live freely and independently and get to know more frenz. But which hostel shld i live in?/
The bus passed by ms sch again..very near this time. I saw alot of my memories rushing before my eyes..but what i could actually see..is juz some half-demolished/half-built buildings which are no remnants of my old sch...No..they are no longer my sch:(
Haiz~/
We alighted opp Jurong Regional Library..that was built when i was in sec 4. Never been there for at least a year liao..
And JEC..Jurong Entertainment Centre..It definitely surprised me with its new outlook..I never went there for barely half a year and presto! Everything seems so new now..the tiles are new, the shops are new, even the faces of the people..are new./
No more colonisation by RVians (in my time, almost the whole JEC is RVians's hangout..). What replaces them are some adult faces...which are rarely seen in the past. There are very very few (RV) students there now..so much has changed./
We went to eat at Long John Silver. The only thing that didn't change is that the service there is equally lousy. I hate those malay cashiers..noob! lol./
Again..ken,angela and me chatted. It was the first time i talked so much to angela. Then we talked about "hydro pump" fc and how she suicided..by creating unnecessary disputes b/w herself and ftay & hlin. Serves her rite..oops!:p
The day was not done..me and ken then went JE Pop after departing with angela..and i saw my junior jacq there. Chatted with her and told her i'll help/support them on their open day performance on 14 Oct. Hey..the music they used is borrowed from me ok? "Destiny" by violinist Vanessa Mae..combined with chinese dance fans..realli wanna see the effect. Jeep..u betta return me my 6 cds after the performance..or i'll strangle u to death..lol:D
Read "Celestial Zone 21" book 6 by Wee Tian Beng b4 going home.(in fact i always read his comics in JE Pop..since sec1..hehe:p) Seems like i'm back to my sec sch life..i missed it quite a bit.(Sniff.)
