Yes, 6 albums in total, 60 photos per album except for the last one which has 5. 8 days in all, I'll let the photos do the talking shall I? After all, a picture says a thousand words. In anycase, the only time there's a lack of photos is the spa (but then, do you want to see us in a spa?!) and well shopping. And of course meals, sleeping blah.

Less than a week till the sem starts. My bro's going into NS tomorrow! Makes me feel OLD. Haha. And I went back to JJ for JJ Night last fri, and guess what? I'm like a Year 6, in JC terms. Yes. 5 years since I stepped into 23rd Student Council, that is, 5 years since J1. How time flies.
JJ Night was alright, it was more of a get together of sorts for us council people. Being like, older, the essence of JJ Night was pretty much lost on us, sadly. It isn't the same 'cos you just don't feel compelled to become a part of the incoming J1s and the OGLs, cheering, dancing, singing etc. We don't even remember the dances anymore, although one of the dances was created by my batch. Haha. It was nice seeing each other again though, especially Hasvany, whom I only bump into at the toilet in SRC. Hahaha. And Mr. Ng, same old same old. He shocked us all when he made a public apology to the 23rd SC (well, 'public' being in front of all the alumni people gathered in the hall) and tears welled up in not just his, but our eyes as well. Brought back memories, good and bad, but all important and bittersweet nonetheless. Those council days.... still feel like yesterday. All the scoldings, fights, arguments, camps, organizing, slacking in council room, late nights, early mornings, incidents that got us into trouble, scares etc etc etc... we stuck through them together. Funny how, after we have stepped down, through the constant meetups we have (well, once or twice a year, hahaha. Main one being Silvest's birthday), we became closer.
However, there's a very slim chance that any of us 23rd people will willingly step into the Alumni Exco committee. We're commitment-phobic people, hahaha. At least, seems like it. Not at this moment anyway, where most of us are still trying to cope with studies, wanting to enjoy student life. I would say we just don't want extra commitments on our plate. But well, looks like we'll be meeting up more often over JJ's various events organized by Alumni. One of those will be grad night. And my batch was on the field -_-".

I also met up with Jasmin, Nisa and Idayu on the day of JJ Night. Great to see them again, haha. Fun talking to them and listening to their life stories. Somehow, there's always some interesting adventure happening to them, hee. My life's boring, haha. We went to Fish n Co to eat, and then slacked at Starbucks. Man, the Peppermint Mocha is FANTASTIC. I love Peppermint tea, and I love Mocha, so the two combined (minus the tea) makes a brilliant drink. Woot! Pity Jasmin lost the photos we took that day, and Nisa has yet to like, come online to share hers. Haha. Oh wells.... The more time flies by, the harder it is to keep meeting up with friends. When we start working, will we still be meeting up like this? Will we still bother to put in the effort?

I don't feel like I'm going to graduate. I don't want to graduate. I want to do Honors. But reality is reality, and there isn't any point in hiding from it. Sure, I can probably like cram and mug really really hard this sem to TRY and make it for hons, but then, I don't want to spend my highly possible last semester in NUS mugging and hating student life because of it. I want to enjoy my studies such that I can graduate satisfied and enter the working world. I want to leave with good memories, knowing I love my major and the things I studied rather than lamenting at going with my passion and not going for a major which could guarantee me better grades. If I make it to hons, great, if not, well, then come July it will be Adieu, NUS.
