today maths lecture was fun! the reightards sat together, ensuring that much hilarity ensued.

just like the good old days in our 408 homeroom man. haha. we should start bringing ties into maths lecture o___0. i can still distinctly remember the day mrs chew walked in on a certain reightard struggling to untie herself. grin evilly.

which hit me on how much i miss the reightards :/ why is every single one of them in the humans stream (i wonder whether i regret not joining humans actually, but i kinda like sciences more over econs and well ki, cause i would have taken lich's combi if i entered humans) therefore maths lectures are turning into highly distracting, fun filled bonzanas. amused look. and lich, who has nothing better to do. i swear im going to sit beside monkey the next lecture. scowls at lich. we just need mogu to complete the trio. :p

level 2 is over :( no more 9-6 saturdays of pure fun, where i can happily regress back to childhood and watch my teachers do the same thing, and jump on the HUGE trampoline in the RI gym. i have blackmail worthy videos. grins at eli consipiratorically. (ok there is something wrong with the spelling somewhere)

and then it suddenly hits me that my jc odac life is OVER. wednesdays seem so huge and empty now..somehow a 3 hour theory lesson doesnt seem that bad anymore. haha.

to batch 24; please really really treasure all the time you have. dont waste your time, dont cancel trainings because you dont feel like it, pursue all your outdoor interests (but of course do it safely lah) to the max, ask the teachers to share their experiences with you, never turn away the chance to talk to each other. because when you get to the J2 year you realize, when are you ever going to get the chance to sit in a tent with this person again, and watch the stars? when are you going to get the chance to laugh, trek, kayak, belay, climb with each other at least 2 times a week?

listening to handover you can really see the urgency of this message - because your senior batch didnt make full use of their j1 year and now they are regretting like mad. because they spent too long waiting for things to happen rather than making things happen themselves, feeling that people owed them expeditions.

but odac was memorable, because of certain people. :)

to eli and hien: my kakis :) what more i can say?
to yichao: thanks for single-handedly keeping the odac spirit alive :)
to mspa ng: thanks for all the encouragement and support that you have always been giving me :)
to training comm!: TC FOREVER! HAHA. thanks for giving me the chance to work with the most dedicated group of people in odac :)
to lvl 2 people: augy, nat, yy, yichao, eli, chaga - thanks for sharing the highlight of my j2 year with me. haha.
to jonyee and eli(again): my most memorable water expedition! 21 km woots!
to mrtan,mrshah, ms lim: for all the skills, outlook, and encouragement
to mrleong: thank you for showing me that learning is forever :) and always remembering to play and have fun!

and finally,

to germs: my silent pillar of support! i miss you still, even now. thank you for always picking me up after i fall, bolstering my faith, and relighting my passion for the outdoors in faraway italy! haha. im constantly inspired by all the faith you have shown in odac even though its been more than a year away already! :D
