This has been a long, meaningful weekend.
Saturday was spent watching football at my hometown kopitiam. Paying a reasonable price for the drinks and food, it was a rather enjoyable evening spent watching live football on a big TV screen. The Chelsea match was an eventful one, and it couldn’t have gotten any better. With the majority of the punters presented rooting for Man Utd, who has the better odds, Champions-to-be Chelsea rose to the occasion. Rooney’s injuries only added insult to injury, with his World Cup hopes in jeopardy.
The Liverpool match was to follow, and I enjoyed the sweet victory, and got a little cash from my investments, though there is still a loss overall on Saturday. As the Chinese says, 小赌小赢, 大赌大输, the money gave me the excitement to keep me involved during the matches.
Sunday was spent, back at Nanyang JC Council Camp 06. It’s the first time I was back to the fully completed campus, and I must say that the compound looks really great. Got some hurtful comments from a former teacher of mine, who said that I looked a little FAT, just a little. So I had to show her my toned biceps and flabby tummy. Succeeded I did. Convinced her I did not.
Unknowingly, I kinda feel old amongst the rest of the seniors presented. At 22, I am considered an elderly citizen, although my own senior batch had 4 presented also. I feel a little envious about what my juniors are getting. The kind of facilities, the walkie talkies, as well as the kind teachers in charge, were very different from what I had experienced in the past.
The enjoyable part of the programme, were the Contests held by the camp committee, as well as the Couple Dance passed down from our seniors. It really brought back the memories. If I am not wrong, it originated from the 18th batch of NYJC SC. Being the sole representative from the 24th SC, less Edmund who was there probably to drop by for his PR sessions, I was a little lonely. The 25th were a batch I really took care of back then, so I got to mix pretty well with them. Had a nice dinner / supper session with them, and I got to say, someone in particular, really attracted & mesmerized me in a nice way…
Looking forward to my Labour Day activities. Probably I got to visit my Grandma first, before dropping by to listen to a political rally before resuming school on Tuesday. Since I am not voting this time round, I should at least listen to what politicians are promising the people this election. Empty or real promises, we shall judge ourselves. Also, it’s only once every 5 years that we get to hear our leaders speak broken English, with dialects very much the order of the day.
Happy Labour Day Singapore, and spend your Progress Package well. Not just to get a new handphone or buy 4D. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
