ON GRAD TRIP TO BALIChermaine mentioned during dinner that dae, that once people start work, they seldom or rarely blog anymore. For a variety of reasons.Haha, I do hope to continue doing so even when working. If anything, just to catch up & keep my circle of friends updated about my livelihood. But if the past 2 weeks since post-exams are any gauge, the frequency of blogging has indeed decreased substantially. Come to think of it, its like only 15 daes since my last exam paper, but it feels like 15 years oredi wahahah! So much has happened I guess, and its fascinating to think that this time tomorrow night, I ll be in Bali lo yahooo!!! heh heh :p Kinda surreal feeling I m having now, that i m embarking on my grad trip. Though we are not going somewhere far far away like Europe or North America, but I feel whats most impt at the end of the dae is the company. And i m so glad to be going with a wonderful group of PS chaps haha. n_nI ll be flying off tom Sun evening at 7pm, and be back in Singapore somewhere around next Fri (30th May) midnight. If any of u need to look for me urgently, do drop me a mail yeah. And yes, i ll be checking my exam results on the morning of 30th May in Bali. For the final moment of truth wahaha.Very much looking foward to the trip. So much that I have oredi packed my stuff and all set to go haha! So unlike Hock. I was always the kind who ll ba long longly prep my stuff on the morning itself of Camps and take my own sweet time in the past. And it striked me todae that its only 1 month left to Arts Camp 2008. Which means pre-camp shud be approaching soon as well. My, time really flies man. The other dae I dropped by clubroom to borrow some stuff, and I observed that Rag is also kicking off full-swing. Brings back a lot of memories haha. The realization hit me that for the 1st time in 5 years, I wud be totally uninvolved with FOP. haha. Not that i m complaining though. I gave whatever I could for the past 4 years of FOP, from a freshie to Arts Camp PD to President and to House IC. The long daes n nights of planning, ragging, and yes, sometimes tearing your hair out, sometimes crying, sometimes quarreling with friends, sometimes frustrated, sometimes angry, most of the time tired (both physically & mentally)...But then when u look back on Day 5 of Arts Camp, when u see freshies (from strangers on the 1st dae) cheering their hearts out, when u see the long-held Arts Club tradition of Circle of Friendship formed among the entire camp, when the tears start to flow among the O Com members and House ICs, u finally understand why u put yourself thru so much over the past year. When the Arts Rag float is being pushed out before the NUS population at Padang (or SRC), and all the techies, dancers, & raggers huddle together to give that 1 final pep talk...u finally understand why u put yourself thru so much over the past year.And then everything falls into place. U finally understand why u run (or re-run) for Arts Club, why u join each of the 6 O Coms, why FOP means a lot to so many seniors, past & present. In fact, sometimes I think FOP is like a drug, like the Artstasy theme last time wahahhaha. You just can't help but keep coming back for more. Heh ok i better stop. Getting carried away again. As I was saying, 4 FOPs gave me tons of memories in Arts, in NUS, and in life. Esp now that I have graduated. Not to mention countless friendships and bonds. =) I have no regrets becoz I gave the best of my ability for each FOP. To those who are going thru the entire experience of FOP now, Arts Camp, O Week, Rag, Flag, Matric, & Bash 2, enjoy it while u can! No more such joyous experiences when u graduate!!! hahaLife is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of moments that take your breaths away. Do not wait until its too late to have regrets, because life never stops for us to reclaim our regrets.So till then, goodnight my dear friends, and its off to Bali for me! :pDoes Bali smellllllllllllllllll what the Hock is cooking????????!!!!!!!!!!!!
