The Clique

clique - a group of friends that sit together in a lesson, have lunch during breaks n out for dinner after sch. the clique can be big, or small, n there's always a long story behind how each clique was formed. ours, haha, extraordinary.

our clique. on the orientation day to flag day, i came to noe 4 ppl. orientation day itself, i met lawrence, i was pretty amazed when he told me he finished his NS, n the way he presented himself was filled with confidence. haha. tho he's not in the clique, he was one great guy, an organized organizer and a creative planner. we exchanged phone numbers, and said if possible, meet during flag day, but i was left all alone. LOLS.

flag day - cool, i was at raffles place all alone, until almost time, i went back, being the last. ZR and sabrina helped me to count the money, with ms adeline koh dere targetting me. i first tot ZR and Sab being yr 2s!! haha. yea, and as i was being targetted, i became the class treasurer.

being the class treasurer, i reluctantly passed around my notebook to collect my classmates' numbers and email adds. haha. n frm then on, the first clique was formed including me, wayne, lawrence, sabrina and fiona. lawrence and i pulled wayne along during CCA drive, and dere he was in the clique.

as time passed by, i met this cocky guy (on first impression) who showed us some magic tricks. haha, was stunned by his tricks, and he was soon part of the clique. that was none other than nich. lols. tgt with him was JR.

roughly in 5-6 wks time, this current clique was more or less formed. first was wayne, fiona and i. chatted with janet quite a number of times online, n slowly, i was integrated into the clique. other factors being us having lunch tgt during breaks. i still rmbed how shirley kept asking me y was i so scared of her. n my reply to her was, "haha, i'm jus quiet". u see, i'm a shy guy. lols.

then, wayne was assigned the RWP grp with shithead wai ling and shirley. once i waited for them for dinner, n shirley for no reason called me 'xiang gong'. haha, soon i accepted her crap and started addressing her back. so this was 1 of the reasons y i'm in the clique too.

n dere, it became more obvious after our very first chalet. many happening stuff, many lunch outs, many presents, n of cus these much memories.

till now, the clique is slowly fading. very little of us left. probably due to the various frictions between some of them, but i believe time will heal the wounds. through woes, we knew each other much better; through delightful moments, we left memories worth remembering. i appreciate the gives and takes, the care and advice n above all, company. like i'd mentioned before, w/o them, my poly life wud perhaps be a walk in the desert - dry, hot, n nth to see.

dun cry ppl, lols. i'm not exactly a person dat can write with emotions and interesting phrases. but, at the very least, that is how i feel. i tot i shud write it down, if i shud forget as i get older. haha, inspired by janet tho, if not, i wudnt have had this idea to 'look back'. with this, i can look back at it more often when i get older, and refresh the happy times i had. hopefully, this clique can remain as it is till we graduate if not further. even if we shud move on with our own lives, maybe some of us pursueing their Ph.D., others involving in trades not related to wad we're studying ... u will not be forgotten.

finally, i apologise for all the MIA-ing during recent outings and lunches. i'm still with u all, tho not physically. haha. as such, let's work hard tgt and do our very best, academically and of cus, creating more of such moments.

*P.S. Ms Isabel Yee's wedding dinner. hope most of u all can make it. interested parties pls inform shirley. haha.
