New year.
Finally, the arrival of the highly anticipated New Year.
Went to watch Charlotte's Web. Haha.. Its something like a educational show. Not too bad overall. I think its like an Arts Film. Haha..
I guess there will be people counting down to New Year. So have you guys reflect on what you have did for the past 2 years?
Almost 20 years of my life.
Everything started back at Montfort, where band really played an integral part of my life. I had with me a bunch of comrades, which we named ourselves 'BOB' aka Best of the Best. We endured hardships, shared tears and joys, put in our best to bring glory to MSSB. The Silver Medal and the Esplanade performance are our greatest milestones that we can ever leave in our lives.
New friendships formed and so did new rivalry. Little do I know that you, will ever turn out to be like this. My regret was not ending our buddyship in the most appropriate way. Seriously, I don't know whether to hate you or what.
Soon, we departed into our next stage of life. I went into NYJC, wanting to leave everything I had in Montfort behind me. And there I was, in a totally new environment, one that I thought I will never be able to shine and perform.
Went into Orientation Groups, and soon broke up into classes. S6B was my first 3 months class. It was then that I did some absolutely out-of-the-world things, that I won't think of doing. I went into business. As my class was studying economics, we came up with lots of ideas about selling stuff. On Valentines' Day, we sold roses and it turned out pretty well. And there was this New Year Bazaar, in which we rushed batches and batches of cookies for sales. Girls didn't really play much of my life back then, until now.
I am glad that it actually happened.

Next, after first 3 months, I got into a more competitve class. In terms of performances in studies, everyone was trying to match each other. Had good tutors and I excelled in my studies. Made really good friends in that class. The basketball sessions, mahjong meets, mugging phenomenon and Marc's forever non-stop cold jokes. All these made up the rest of my NYJC journey.
Not forgetting NYJCSB. I didn't wanted to join band because of all those things that happened. Moreover, I didn't really liked Adrian Chiang, back then. But I guess, I got to be in band eventually. Learnt a lot of new skills, completely different from the old and bombastic military band back at Montfort. Enriching and fulfilling, NYJC has never let me down. Despite the stress and conflicts, it was really a place for respite from the usual school life. The band clique was always the source of life. I found love in Band. Enjoyed it till recently, when realised that the jigsaw pieces doesn't fix.
A levels' came and went. Soon, this time a year ago, I was enlisted into the Army. Unfit and unsure of what is happening in the army, I stepped into another Military world of hierachy and authority. Now, a year later, currently a Tank Instructor, 2Sg and taking a bunch of trainees. Throughout this year, hard times came and went, and so did those funny good times. Its something you will never get to experience twice.
Looking back at these 5 years,
All that I've done,
& all those I didn't,
I have no regrets.
