The Legend of Ngee Ann

20 Oct to 21st oct...

As usual, i was at the starhub centre yesterday to walk her home from ACCA. (Of course, she was from Ngee Ann too) when i saw Chee Yong...That bloody boy, as according to "the goat" was that he decides to give up basketball with us for soccer in some faraway place. Damn... Well, i was quite pleased to see him, and tried to talk to him. Obviously i was too preoccupied (not by her!) by Public Finance and the whole idea of EXTERNALITIES! Anyway, hasn't got much time to talk to him before he scampered away. Real Disappointing.

On the way back to her place, surprise, surprise.... Zhi An shouted out to me along the way. This lad is a current Ngee Ann boy, who's superb ball playing skills had been extremely instrumental in bringing the past 3 Top 4 finishes to Ngee Ann Secondary. Well, i sort of lamented to him that with the introduction of the 5 day week in Ngee Ann, the old boys just couldn't make it back on the weekdays to play with them. What A Pity...

Obviously, it was enjoyable to be back in tampines with her as usual... Tampines don't seem to miss me though, with many subtle changes taking place slowly, day by day. The track getting its shape, and changes to TM. Well...too bad, i am no longer staying in Tampines.

However, this morning, i ran into Nicholas! A friend from Ngee Ann, i was going to school from Tampines MRT ( Well, i was staying with my aunt after sending her home :p). What had intended to be a sleeping session on the train quickly regenerated to a reminiscing session about the good old days. The evil plots plotted by the doctor, the victims, the one who claimed that he betted ONLY 50cents and was apprehended as well, the runaway cast as well, as the one that saw his future disintegrate away, as the years go by...(It suddenly dawned on me, what an evil epic we were part of then!) , but in the end we both had to agreed that those were the best days that we spent our lives in(The stupid G League sessions, the soccer sessions for even as short as 15minutes :) , as well as the daily ritual of copying homework.... No doubts about that, those were the days, that we don't even care what the damn world is...

As he left his seat in Tiong Bahru, His back was all that remains though... :-)
