When the sun sets over daisies

So every once in a while I get an extended holiday and find myself sitting in my room thinking about days gone by. I never knew missing a group of people could hurt so bad, and seeing them again would make me so happy. Sometimes it seems like the BB guys are the only people I've ever truly known in the world. Such friendships cannot be made in an instant but rather, nurtured over many years. I don't dare think about the time when everyone has gone overseas for studying. Already so many that I care about have left or are leaving in the next couple of weeks. A man can't live alone on an island right? Why army why?
Yesterday was the most awesome day in a long time. Buffet. Friends. LAN. Wachee. Hike. Workout for mind, legs, soul. Going out with the RBS guys was great, just time to let my hair down (ok not much to let down) and chillax away from pull ups and running everywhere. Playing LAN with them was even more awesome. I think that would be one of my top 10 LAN moments. Can't wait for mid-course to come. MW3 :O I'm glad the course is getting to know each other much better now, it's getting easier for me to talk to more people. Hopefully we really become good friends for life.
Wachee. The name every ACI dude associates with good, cheap food and has become nostalgic just walking past that place. Did my first ever booking with the uncle the day before and surprise, more people came then expected! Lucky I had reserved a few more extra places. Gosh I miss talking to Jia Wei, Zac, RYAN CHONG and the whole bunch of guys I've known for at least 6 years now. Haha it's funny how we have never really changed much since Secondary school. I'm so glad that all of us are still single (save one who *cough* couldn't come), means we can meet whenever :D Walking home at midnight with JH and the 2 girls made the night just all the more memorable. Crazy people do crazy things. Thank goodness it was in the middle of the night :)
If I could choose, I wouldn't want these days to come to an end. But alas all good things cannot last forever, for comfort breeds complacency. So back to the fiery pit we go tomorrow, to punish our bodies and pour cold water over rested eyelids. May we all survive the week and the course. May we all.

What's in a smile :D

Dance FOA was a blast. First FOA in ACS(I) (hehe I never went for any FOAs in my life cause my mum wouldn't let me :S) and I don't regret it :D The best part of the show was when this yr6 couple just couldn't stop smiling cause they were so happy to be dancing on stage together! Haha the dance even ended with them taking centrestage. Something struck me when I saw that scene. It's been a long time since I've seen such genuine, almost inncoent smiles. Their grins just got wider and wider till the end. I remember a dream I had last month. It was where a girl was running around in knee high grass with wind blowing everywhere. It was quite scary cause it felt like the girl was stressed over something and there was this frown on her face. Then she stopped and smilled. The smile felt almost like a release of pent up frustration, like freedom from the burden we bear. I woke up happy that day.
I like it when I smile like that. It's not something that can be forced or staged. I guess that's what I look for in people nowadays, to just be able to see them smile. Talking to friends, hanging out, it all comes down to seeing them smile.
So smile to brighten up your day (and others too!) :D
