Revival Reminiscence

Thursday, July 22, 2010 9:16 PM

As KS suggested, I should use Max Revive on my blog.

It's just dead. LOL.

Anyway. Call me mellow or anything. I was rummaging through my closet earlier today when I stumbled upon a paperbag containing a big envelope and an unfinished scrapbook. I thought I had stickers and decorative materials in the envelope, and opened it to find what seemed like rubbish: countless faded receipts, a deflated balloon, crumpled post-its.....

It's a collection of memories from secondary school, actually!

This is what the deflated balloon was once like (it was in my old, old blog, now off-limits):








And this is how the balloon looks like today, all deflated.....:(

Yea. And that's just the balloon. Receipts....haha. Those were the days. Those where the days when my study group would eat dinner outside and I would keep the receipt, trying to hold on to that moment and freeze it, in any way possible. Receipts do not make good keepsakes though, they fade easily. Some, like the Ajisen Ramen ones are still intact though. Pepper Lunch ones (a lot of them) still have their logo on them. For now.

Then there are post-its where Win and I discussed Geog last time. Weird, huh. I guess it was because we were in the library? But I still wonder why we didn't just discuss verbally -.-"

And then there are crumpled post-its. Four sets of them. So this is what happen when we have no idea where to eat: we write on separate piece of post-its, crumple them and draw lots.

Samples. For the sake of this post I actually get my lazy bum out of my bed and scan them. Lol. Earlier on I thought they're glued to the bed :P

Photobucket
Left to right: Win: "Grandmother's house", Me: "as usu, any hawker ctr =)", Tommy: "S11"
I think this one resulted in S11 (what else?)


Photobucket
Left to right: Me: "take other paper!! >__<", Tommy: "Prata House", Win: "Library's Cafe" Strangely enough, we didn't go to Prata House or library's cafe (it's called Cafe Galilee la :P). I forgot where we went in the end ._. Photobucket
Left to right: Win: "Play scissors paper stone, if you win go take Tommy choice, if lose take Van choice", Tommy: "Win's/vNs's/Mr Fam's House", Me: "fine with anything.....just pick another paper =P" Of course in the end we didn't go to anyone's house! -.-"

Photobucket
Clockwise from top left: Lijing: "any coffee shop", Win: "Home with Mr Luo. -Lijing", Tommy: "Pepper Lunch!", Me:"Lijing's house Tommy's house any hawker centre"
I think we ended up at Pepper Lunch. Doh.

There's also another thing that looked like a movie ticket at first, yet turned out to be a pass to Singapore Garden Festival, when the Ess Army went to sell Shoo!Mozzie x) Now I wonder what happened to the movie tix stubs ._. Dozens of them, I believe. Ok, maybe not really dozens, but, yea, quite a lot.

After that I looked at the unfinished scrap book. Actually it was not that bad. It has 11 pages, each of which are very nicely decorated (HAHA SELF-PRAISE), yet it was nowhere near completion. It was supposed to capture the whole Sec 4 year, yet I stopped at Sports Day. I had the photos printed already, but I haven't yet continued. Looking back, it's quite a pity I didn't. Maybe I should, after A Levels. Yeah, I would. Just that, my memory won't be as fresh anymore. For example, I took half a minute to think about the term "Sports Day", being more familiar to "Interhouse Games" and "Track and Field Meet" terms now :/ It's going to be difficult, but I guess it's better than nothing (: When I finish the scrapbook next year I should scan it and post it in facebook! XD

Secondary school. Sweet memories (: When school was fun. Lol.

A Levels :/ I think I'm finally out of my slacking mode. I got bored of all of my games so I started doing more work than required. Well, a little :P I was really slack at the start of term 1, picked up pace and slowed down again as term 2 drew to a close. June holidays were terrible in terms of mugging time, and it got carried way into term 3. It is only now, at the end of week 4 that I started to wake up again. Let's hope I can keep up the momentum without breaking down! :D

To my O Level study group mates: We've gone down very different paths, haven't we? Sometimes I feel lost, facing A Levels without you guys, but hey, we're still friends. We had fought together before, now, apart from each other, we face our own challenges! A different experience altogether. Strive for excellence! (:

Jiayou all for your endeavours!! :D:D
