a fresh start

I have been wanting to publish a post abt cebu but have yet to do it!!!! not mentioning the article:) sigh

yet, i know that if i do not jot down my memories abt l'adeaumus 2007, i'm likely to forget that as well:). a few weeks before i went to rjc, i suddenly started meeting so many pple who were from there. apart from the choir pple, there were 3 on the trip with me, as well as several teachers. on the first day, walking through the school, it comforted me quite a bit to know that pple i liked and respected had walked through these hallowed halls(well not physically, but you get the idea).

Lucky for me, half of my OG were non-Rafflesians so i did not feel too out of place:), not that it was much of a problem anyway since everyone was really nice, esp our OGLS! it was a real surprise that our house won war games, since we kind of gave up our territory:p. nonetheless, it was a nice surprise:)

I felt quite bad about the EA and the lack of effort put in by me. Having fun or winning? was the statement i used to comfort myself, despite knowing the fallacy of this statement. games ARE all the sweeter if you win them too, no?

although i really felt tired or rather DEGEN over the weekend with all the meetings at VIVO and the esplanade, im really glad that we made the effort to go for it, since it was something that we would not have time for after school gets into full swing.

My OG was really nice and i enjoyed "the times we spent together", all the OG dinners and Degen sessions. I really hope now that i do get to stay after O level results are released. Nonetheless, i must say that i do miss IJ, esp after gg back briefly on Friday. In rj, i meet many like minded pple, which can be good or bad. however, in IJ, being with pple who have different priorities in life always serves as a wakeup call to remind me that the world does not simply centre around our own lives and interests, rather, this is a world where opposites live in harmony, and eventual unity.
