Time flies just like a bird.
It is really difficult to accept that half of my JC life is over. Seems like it was just yesterday that I met my OG for the very first time.

I could still remember vividly that I was happy having remained in terra house with exactly the same ogls. Dan, who was from my previous og was also with me. We had this performance in the hall by the various houses, and I realised that nic goh was in my class too. Then, when walking towards our venue for icebreakers, someone shouted my name from behind. Yup, and that was Zac.

It was a fun orientation, and my class was full of crappy people. Apparently, more than half of the guys from our class were from boys’school, and so, we brought to Nj all our nonsense to keep ourselves entertained.

The first 3 months were just plain slack, joy, fun, laughter.
Could clearly remember the times when we had nothing to do for 2 hours before PE on Friday. The girls would sit at the grandstand and talk among themselves, and the guys would rush to either the basketball court or the semi-D for soccer.

Then the O’level results came out, and the relaxed days ended abruptly. The true NJ mugger syndrome appeared, and many started working….for example….Marvin…However, many of us guys still had the “O’levels just ended” mentality and couldn’t get down to serious studying, hmm, maybe even till now…

On one fateful day, Goh Kien Huay, our civics tutor then, decided to let us mingle around in the canteen during CAAL. There was this sudden outburst of lameness and everyone started spewing out every single joke we knew. We realised we had a talent being lame….and hence the NJPDA was born. By the way, NJPDA means NJ Physically Disabled Association…and not NJ Public Display of Affection.

Throughout the entire year, the we did everything together. From studying(seldom), to eating the exact same food, to playing the same game, and even to c.r.ying. We were a bunch of idiots, bundle of sticks who did everything that normal nj guys will never do.
That is because we were from express, not normal!
I mean…how many people actually
scream when they see water in the toilet?!
Ok, anyway, if we were to actually videotape our every actions during the year, and record our lunch time conversations, it could be made into the ultimate comedy…ever.

The school term was filled with crap, stupidity, laughter, and humour. Yet, there were many down times for me.

Felt like everyone was better sometimes
Unable to excel in my studies
Couldn’t get certain people off my mind
Kevin is a shadow of his former self.

Anyway, what’s done is done. Got to do some reflection before finishing off the rest of this year.

Today is the last day of the school term….yesterday seemed to be the day I entered Nj…. tomorrow could probably be the moment I put the grey uniform away forever…

Hmm, time left in JC is really running out, hope to cherish the time we have together before it all ends. Before I know it, it’s A levels, and the next thing that happens will be kissing the grounds of tekong.
