Time in Los Angeles: 8:51 AM
i think and i know that i terribly suck at treasuring the things/people/days i have until it's gone.
suddenly nostalgia's crawling all over me again and this time, it's reached the peak.
returned from internship suffering from fatigue to the ultimate so headed for a nap, just got up for a break from sleeping. HA.
& while sleeping, without any reason, i dreamt of everything, right up from st. nicks to bronte. woke up only to realise those days are long gone. :(
oh geeee ..
I wna be back in a classroom of 41, all clad in blue and white, sleeping/stoning/paying attention/taking notes/talking/laughing/playing away and whatnot. I wna be looking forward to sportsday, to the term week breaks and semester month breaks, to recess for orange bowl and tuna toast, to getting over with countless tests/exams, to buying ten year series, mugging in the canteen, training, everything in that lovely second home of ours ..
I also wna be in that highly prestigious (not, haha) class of 15people. I wna be running round the whole building of eight storeys, risk getting caught on the guys' floors, hiding from the indian security guard who was gay, watching jun, ryan, ken and the rest breakdance, skating outside bronte with the hongkies to japs to koreans to malaysians, lying on the hill with tasha, talking shit with jinho, day trips to hamilton, niagara, finch etc, taking the subway and the GOtrain downtown, shopping in toronto with the girls, gossiping with the indos - andri, adrian, larry, johannes, erwin, felix till 5am, leaking juicy news at the icecream parlour with rachel & tasha, jogging round the ground floor with clara/lydea/lousy tasha at odd times (yes, like 4am), crappy hiphop classes with jay, travelling all the way to york with tash and adrian, looking forward to bibimbab for lunch, snowfight with the entire school at lunch, music night & the preparation, cabbing in 7-seaters for bubble tea and condensed milk bread with my wonderful BWOKES - tasha lydea rolson ian liuyun stan chloe kevin, breaking curfews and then bribing the frontdesk incharge for being late, acquire to sims2 to mahjong, secret drinking at rolson's, steamboat in the break of spring, phonecalls in the middle of the night while mugging that go "come down for soup/noodles/ice wine !" or "i'm coming over to your room now !" or "everyone's here ! come over now !" or "fourth-floor common area ! cheese fondue !" or "fourth floor for AI/simple life/ANTM ?" or "wna play volleyball/badminton/skate ?" or "are you done studying ? can we wake up at 5am to study at tim hortons ?" (which we never made it to), watching the whole clan hogging the library's connection for dota/warcraft, waterballons/guns fight against the koreans, sadly watching people graduate each term, eyecandies to look forward to daily :D , even applying for universities and constantly sending out transcripts, ahhhhh .. EVERYTHING !! miss how everyone was just there in the same building, how me & tash would run round the whole school when we didn't complete an assignment to tell all 15people from class NOT to do it too .. and how everyone would happily agree. then we'd tell the prof that we weren't told to do it. we were THAT brilliant. :D really love and totally miss the mix of nationalities, races, skin colours, names, languages the friendships formed despite of all that. I even miss abiola, abimbola, ofure and efua, my darling nigerian friends with the most awesome bodies ! I MISS BRONTE extremelyyyyyyy .. :(
after leaving naz, though i don't exactly miss it as much as SN or Bronte, people there are really miss-able. profs were great, and definitely diva, manjela, taj, shilpa, darshini, lama, kira, concetta, ramona, roberto, angjuk, laura, evelyn, catherine, bridget my suitemate, tracey my suitemate, stephanie, ashley, greg, holly, lindsay, vadim, kyle, jennifer, shaunak, youness, marie, marion, damien, yoshino. a totally new mix ! bronte was more of a korean/jap/PRC/taiwanese/hongkie/nigerian/malaysian mix while naz was a indian/french/italian/moroccon/nepali/brazillian/scottish and ofcourse the locals.
and last but not least, i'm missing my wonderful NTU interns. caifeng, yunru, weiting, yali, huishan who have started their schoolterms and left Ernst & Young. but at least wensi, doreen & yuting, the SMU people, are still working. (:
sigh sigh sigh .. cliched and impossible as it sounds, I really wna/haveta/gotta turn back time and relive those days again .. :/
anyhows, been auditing this company, Heeton Holdings, at Hong Heng Mansion at Sembawang these two days so I've not been to raffles place for quite awhile. but tomorrow's back to raffles place for Stat Review (chim huh ! hahah) ! which means, i gotta get up earlier again. pooooots.
well well, to all you guys out there whom i love, you know i treasure you a whole lot even if I don't sms/call you (cos i'm surviving on a freakin HICARD now ! hahah and it only has $1+ left, pathetic=me !).
ahhh, i'm sure some evil missing-monster's taken over me tonight .. NIGHTS all
