Nostalgia : A dedication
This one's fr yogajunky -
I just read Yoga's blog adn i'm not sure if my nostalgic mood rubbed off on her, hence inspiring that posting...or if her posting has rubbed off on me and made me nostalgic all over again!In anycase, we're inspiring each other in some kinda mutual, interconnected causal way!
I just wanna go on record & say 2 things.. firstly..
That was a truly beautiful blog yoga!!It was very heartwarming and it really made me reflect on the things tht matter...and how much ive taken fr granted...it was simple, sincere and a lovely read.
And 2ndly...
Of coz i dindt forget you lah u twit!!Gasp!how cld u even think that *clutches heart in pain with a melodramatic offended expression*...grin...id hav thot that by now,these things are understood and hence understated u goondot!
My memories of NUS will never be complete without the happening times spent with yogaj..there are just too many special moments and memories - and u know how it is when u either list all or none....I mean where does one even begin!?
As my saviour in sch, rite frm the early days when i cldnt even find my own faculty and cldnt decide what to wear on fridays..and then when it came to horrible elang stuff that i just cldnt understand (and still dont - think phonology and syntax) - & in just so many ways right up to date that if i cld round my entire uni life into one word, it might just start with a 'B'!
U know yoga, all tht stuff u wrote abt, really brought a smile to my face just remembering all of those times..i mean loookin back 10 yrs frm now, i'm sure its these little things that i'm always gona remember and smile abt (and laugh about, like how u fell on the stairs while tryin to race..and that oreo song u and shalu made up..and gosh the list goes on!)
ps : even my title reminds me of that awful movie we watched in lit class, where u dont know if the anything really happens or if the guy's dreaming it all in his own head!BIZARRE movie man and i remember that sound of dripping water thru out the movie was just UNBEARABLE..sheesh enuff on nostalgia.
Sigh....i wish we cld meet as often as we used to...the emptiness is pretty sick after all those times..and it all comes back sometimes, thus highlighting how different thnigs are now...i miss it all too..but well its not too late..there's still time before we graduate..Do all that stuff uve always wanted to do, and not look back in regret...well i guess there will be, but in the larger scheme of things, there shldnt be a gaping hole where things tht really matter ought to be...we may not get to join the ridge and write (arrggh!so much fr not havin regrets) but oh well...there's always the other things, which we still can and shld do!!!Seriously....its never too late to make new friends, get to know the classic & colourful characters among our happening EL lot..(do the things i'm not sure i'll ever get to do now...its funny how things hit u in retrospect)...have lunch with someone new, ...go sit by that bench under that beautiful pathway of trees some evening..reflect & soak in the atmosphere..the breeze, the tranquility..and we'll take walks in campus under the changing sky at twilight & we'll def stay over in the forum before we leave, just fr old times sake..and of coz this includes wee hour walks to fong seng fr yummy stuffed prata concoctions!!we must ok!!!Must promise ourselves and make it a point to do it!Let this sickening term paper-deadline-ISM crappy period be over...we'll do it all...and we'll live it up and make the most of our last semester... and we'll make it truly special and that much more memorable - ending it all with a bang as they call it!Fr now, do ur ISM!! Pour ur soul, spirit & sincere effort into it...I'm sure you'll do great.
SO there u go - an entire post in thy honour...hehe...well after tht inspiring blog, u asked fr it dude!! hehe...Here's to u yogajunkie & cheers to making new memories and always cherishing the old ones!Cheers to making every day count, in some way or other...and thanks fr making my uni life worth reminiscing,writing and smiling about!
