a proper closure? or just another beginning?
Saturday, March 08, 2008 so there goes our last time gathering tgt as a cohort.. (not that we had the time and mood to reminisce and be emo ytd)
but still, it could be considered as a proper closure for us? hopefully a pleasant one for most. the end result of 2 years of hard (or maybe not so hard sometimes) work, lectures and tutorials, and here we have it - all summed up on ONE piece of flimsy half A4-sized paper. hmm...who dare say it's fair? but it's not entirely unfair either.
good or bad, there'll always be a way for everything/everyone, and a reason why some things turn out the way they turn out to be.
that said, it only gives us the tangible, the ABCDs that are printed black and white on paper, which of course do matter. but for how long? 6 months? 2 years?
the intangible - the fun we had in tutorials, the bonds we forged thru having common external 'threats' and 'enemies', our fame among teachers (for all the not-so-correct reasons), outings outside of class, our cliched "oh 你很好 SHIAO" convos..... are the ones that are going to live on for a long, long, long, long time.
ha, the other day eunice was commenting that on hindsight, most things would seem a lot more memorable. and i agreed, it didnt feel bad at all, even the minor conflicts and disputes along the way were not entirely unbearable. so i was telling her how sometimes those lame fun we had in class would just very randomly flash across my mind, and i'd laugh to myself very stupidly like when i'm on bus/road/train etc.
like for example,
one of the very first jokes during our first yr:
(during one of the skit presentation in msyang's GP clss)
Eunice (in the skit): "Hi, this is the pharmacy! I am the.."
Dt (one of the audience): "...farmer."
haha i dunno why, but i just seem to rmb this part very very well. and yuanxin (wow) who was sitting beside me went "shit 为什么 daoteng 学到 eunice!" i still rmb the setting! i think it was A4-01! or A3-01. eunice, hany, nigel and shengbin were supposedly presenting their skit.
and somemore:
Classic dialogues during econs lessons
Lee: 45% of singaporeans have only up to secondary sch education!
HF: har really meh!?
Lee: har wat! very surprising meh. if you fail your 'A's you're going to fall into that category.
HF: ...... (whole class burst into laughter)
*(AND THANK GOODNESS IT DIDN'T HAPPEN)
Lee: malaysia produces their own car, Proton. but what will happen to proton once they remove the tariffs on japan cars?
Pow: become electron!
(HAHA, i seriously thought this was DAMN funny. i think i laughed for quite a long time before i could calm myself down)
yea, so that's what i mean by the intangibles. that makes this whole thing not so much of a closure, but rather a new phase of our friendship correct?? the extension of it even after we leave school, thanks to the lameness that makes tutorials alot more (or maybe not so) bearable :)
how about let's have a fixed date in June every year to meet up? firstly, June = 6 = us. (but i dunno which day to choose since i cant decide what number B represents). secondly, June = JuneYang, the very very impt person in our 2 yrs! ok that was wholly random :D
waha, i have a feeling no one will respond to this suggestion. ah but fine, just hope we'll still see each other as often as possible.
thanks for everything in these 2 years, u've made college life alot more memorable for me (whether good or bad, even the bad are not so bad in a way)
;)
愿我们在迈向成功路上再次相见
