Of friends, the new and the old
Friday, January 11, 2008
Thursday was pretty much uneventful. Unlike the previous days of utter boredom from a slack timetable, Thursday saw to about 4 different subs for several hours. Hence it was actually a much needed learning slot. We actually envied those with hectic timetables, as mine was dead boring in school on some days, with nothing to do during breaks.
So now I have gotten the new timetable, and to my delight, (soon to be dismay, I believe) it's chock full of lessons, earliest slot ending at 1pm if I'm not mistaken, and latest at 4.30pm. Curriculum aside, I went for badminton that evening, catching up with the usual guys. Jake came along too. An unspoken bond, since being in the same JC, but I felt a tinge proud of being part of my scho- ok forget it.
So anyways, with aching limbs and stretched muscles, I didn't play well. The weekend would be a much needed break, from the tire and sleep hours. Dinner at KFC was unappetizing, with wierd tasting meat and rubbery skin. I swear never to eat there again. My fears about processed food have surfaced much recently, with the spate of hygiene irregularities in the news.
The eventful part of the evening was not the game, however, but the chit chatting at the nearby Petal Garden where we finally talked about the the far side. It's like a maturity of conversation, for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, basically the opposite gender.
Interesting debates but the night was running late, and we all had school to attend, jobs to work for. Except Mark. Hehe. A reminiscent recollection of our free days, and maybe it's my imaginaton, but I think we talk more and deeper, subconsciously because we know it may fade away someday. This invaluable friendships.
