mm hmm i want to linger here.. suddenly i miss going for guides camps. those days we pitched our own tents, fixed our very own shoeracks, clothesline, baggage racks, we cooked our meals with twigs and leaves.. we stifled our yawns while enduring debriefs that lasted an eternity, and we stuck by each other during sentry duty. those days we watched the singapore idol finals in the school lecture theatre, we went crazy during campfires, and we went around freaking juniors out/getting ourselves freaked out by seniors during the ghostly treasure hunts. we were blindfolded during sabotage sessions, we ate marshmellows mixed with chilli sauce and pepper while enthusiastically asking to be fed more of such delicious foods. those days we were scolded, praised, then scolded all over again. we shuffled our boots during footdrill, we did our pushups together, we did hentak kaki till lactic acid threatened to spill out.. those days we were so sweaty, smelly, dirty, and disgusting. but those days i was with these bad-weather friends of mine and we were tired but happy. that's why i think those days are still the best.

once a guide, always a guide
yesterday while the rest of the world was probably too engrossed in their world of magic and spells with the arrival of the long-awaited seventh book (no i don't read harry potter =P), i met up with special people whom i haven't seen in a long long time! i guess it took them quite a bit of effort to tear their eyes away from the book, but we had such a fun time i bet our time spent together was more interesting than any page of the book!
us at fish & co! the person who organized the outing actually couldn't make it in the end because she came down with flu. sigh, that lowly ar.. it's also a pity that jingxiu couldn't come. i haven't talked to her properly in years! so it was just dory, kwa, bra and me who met up in ulu novena! it was my first time to novena square! or was it united square? i can't remember, there're 3 buildings over there right? anyway, it felt really good to see that everyone's still the same. dory with her contagious laughter, kwa my fellow ah-xiao who is ever so nice to talk to, and bra who talks at the speed of light. these are the people who once again make me believe that some things never change. :)
