[[Good Times, Bad Times]]

Just got back home after being away from home for almost 24 hours. It feels so great to have a cool shower after a very warm morning under the sun.

Was at Pasir Ris Costa Sands to attend Cheryl's 21st birthday celebrations. Really am thankful for the hospitality shown. There was certainly plenty of food and booze going around.

And not to mention to catch up with poly friends. Spent most of the time talking crap. Actually, all the crap is from Jethro. Hahaha...as usual. We guys do have lots to talk about everytime we meet up, and the subject of interest, more often than not, is about NS.

That's probably the one and only fantastic thing about NS, giving guys who had gone through, are going through or waiting to go through NS bucket-loads to discuss about. Like bitching about blur platoon mates or the super irritating RSM, the food served in the unit, working hours and so on.

After that, I was off to Jiantong's house at Jurong East to meet up with some of my secondary school buddies. Oh yeah, very appreciative of Bert's boyfriend, Han Song, for the ride. If not, it would have been another hell of a journey from the east back to the west side of the island.

And guess what we did the whole night? Yup, drinking again. Sometimes, I find it pretty hard to come to terms how often we guys have been drinking whenever we meet up. I certainly wouldn't have thought that would actually happen back when I was like 15 or 16. Jack Daniels, Chivas Regal...expensive liqour all around.

After Wei Han sent Shu Zhen home, 4 of us, Jiantong, Ken, Yukun and yours truly, went for supper. Went back after an unhealthy meal of deep fried chicken wings and french fries for more chit-chatting. There were so many things to reminisce about during our days in Nan Hua Secondary (which, well, is now known as Nan Hua High).

So many times in my life I wished I was back to those days. Though admittedly, my poly days were much more slack, I missed those younger adolescent years. It was back then when even though we had the occasional quarrels and fights, we had each other's backs at all times. When we always hang out in such a large group that we create a huge ruckus everywhere we went. When we would always stay back in school and played basketball till late. When we spend time at MacDonalds to revise for exams together.

Such good times...and they always seem to come and go by so quickly.
