Parts of us will be left behind in time

had dinner with kyuuka facils on fri. but i'll not elaborate on that. it was fun though, for the half-an-hr i was with them.

and then, i had a date with 1T18 yesterday. nat and laura cldn't make it for some reasons. so was the only facil there. around 7-8 people in the class went only?? but we still had a good time. spent most of the day at yishun safra, which was actually a very good plan. organising is so much easier with these kinda venues.

so, the itinerary of yesterday was bowling-lunch-pool-arcade.

played 1 bowling game with house ball with the rest. it really feels darn different from the past. i still remembered the euphoria of getting a strike or 2 in the past when i was still a small child. but now, all these are not enough for me anymore. the simple joy of bowling has turned into expectations and the aim for perfection. a strike or spare is not enough anymore; a consecutive amt of strikes or spares is the expectation now. so what will become of bowling in my life after this year's nationals, i wonder. my last nationals, my last chance to perform. what if i fail, yet again. my passion, i hope, will not turn into dust.

lunch was done at a nearby coffeeshop. on retrospect, i've not eaten at a coffeeshop for a very long time. i think i'm kinda spoilt to a certain extent, 'cos i was quite reluctant to eat there when they suggested. however, i went there with the class in the end. food was rather limited but okay. chatted with the class a lil and enjoyed some crapping together. i ended up admiring one of my junior's phone, which was exceptional. the camera can be twisted in weird ways, and you can take a photo practically like how you operate a remote control.

pool was rather funny. we had 2 tables but arnd 10 people? thus, we had to take turns. there were some odd moments of laughter, like when some people "air-balled" or made the cue bounce off the table to some guy's sensitive area. but all in all, the time spent there was enjoyable.

finally, it was arcade time. i dont normally go to the arcade so i felt quite lost there. people were scarce, mainly 'cos it was rather out of the way. there was a lan area too. moreover, the arcade was damn outdated 'cos they still use tokens. aye, even i arcade noob also know that those big arcades already use "cashcard devices" already.

hao yuan had this stupid idea of playing the dance machine. so we pulled everyone in to play, to embarrass ourselves, one by one, including me. we all ended up looking stupid on the platform, but as the warped saying goes, one person doing something stupid looks stupid; many people doing the same stupid thing looks cool. anyways, we all had immense fun. there were more laughter than the whole day combined.

that was all. but it was a day well spent for me. anw, parting was easy. 'cos we know we'll see each other in school again...


well, 1T18 is damn fun and i know they will remain fun for the rest of the 1st 3 mths. as the title goes, part of us will be left behind in time, and i believe part of me has been left behind with 1T18. so rock on guys, i love your class spirit. remember, leave no one out of your class, even after 1st 3 mths!
