We had seniors' farewell yesterday. Started in the morning at Ubin where we did some biking trail thing with activities and detours and accidents involving high-speed turns and "ravines". HAHA poor Sally. Anyway, kudos to the organising team, everything went smoothly. We had this zhi char lunch at the Ubin place which was priced very reasonably and tasted good and was filling. Then went back to Changi beach and really SLACKED. Honestly, I don't really remember doing much but playing volleyball and talking nonsense and collecting seashells (IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I SAW A SHELL STATION SEASHELL! :D). And then we played beach football against the sec ones - Eunice and I and Debbie (the double-crosser who kept switching sides!) against 5 (or was it 6??) of the other sec ones. WE WON HAHAHA first to 10. The score was 10-9.
The rest went back to get their tents and change and stuff, but I didn't want to stay over. I mean, there were a couple of reasons lah, like I had no more MONEY and so couldn't kayak the next day (I'm not going to borrow! badbadbad it bcomes like a habit) and also because I just DIDN'T feel like it. Sorry, but Changi just doesn't do it for me :D We went for dinner at this seafood place where we had only 4 dishes -.- They had this pond thing beside the tables where you could see the lobsters and crabs swimming around and the people there will fish them out and cook them. Freshfreshfresh. Crabs were okay only lah. Then after that We had the song and dance and presentation of gifts! Felt a little like a farewell boohoo :'( But a happy one haha. Wonder what they're doing now.

Anyway, I was talking to a couple of the seniors last night and I thought it was pretty sad how there are very obvious cracks in their batch. I mean, yeah sure, the sec 3 batch has cliques too, but as a whole, I think we're pretty alright. It's just that I was kind of disappointed that they didn't band together for their farewell, seeing as it was kind of their last "thing" as a batch in NYSB. I don't know. It kind of got me thinking about our batch too, whether underneath everything is a lot of buried resentment or something. I think if there are cracks, they're not something that stops us functioning as a unit. Well, who said it was easy anyway? Haha I think we're working on it all the time.



If they're happy, they eat a lot, and if they're sad, they eat even more. Wavering between these two extremes: a heartbreak of a happy meal.

- fare thee well!
