Today was a day full of activities for me. I spent one whole morning with Victor at the JE swimming complex. No matter how I swam, I didn't feel very tired. Maybe it's because one of my burdens was gone?
After that, we went back to CSS! It has been 10 months since I last went back. Things changed quite a lot. Teachers got married, teachers got children, teachers gone… Miss Chloe Yong became Mrs Chloe Png, Ms Tan Sai Hong became Mrs Leong Sai Hong, and more importantly, Mr Leong has a babay boy who is already 20 months old!
As for the school, there were some upgrading here and there. 1 notable point was the security level. We had to sign in as visitors, and the staff rooms and HOD rooms require a smart card to open the door! I wonder what will happen if there is a power failure… Hopefully they had a backup power supply?
Surprise, surprise. We found that Mr Leong had moved from 3rd level to 1st level! He had became HOD Maths! Wow… We spent some time talking to him, about NS, about school, about all sorts of things, and heard about his NS life, what he and his platoon mates did in order to escape training and all that. It was interesting.
Yes, teachers will be always there to help, even when you are already out of the school. I still find those teachers friendly. They gave a smile, said 'hi'(and of course, we greeted them back) and all that. But they looked quite busy, given the speed that they were walking (Mrs Png an exception? She was always walking so fast during our time…). We only managed to talk to Mr Leong as he was downstairs and had opened the HOD room door when we were about to look for him. Think he had became bigger horizontally… lol
Later, we had lunch at the now-called cafeteria. Rarely I had this chance to have rice at $1.60. The drink store auntie somehow remembered us and asked us some questions… and of course we won't forget her. We spent 4 years buying drinks from her!
Went back home for a while. After that, I went out again! Somehow, I missed the bus, and I was about 5 minutes late to meeting Xinli at Bugis! I did messaged her about my being late… 😛 I had volunteered myself last night to bring her to Sim Lim Square to choose a pair of speakers for her computer. And yes, she bought her things, and strangly, I had nothing to buy this time round! Or is it that I had already spent too much last month, and my mind instantly switched off my spending instincts? -lol-
Busy day today. Busy day tomorrow too. I have to go to 光明山 to 扫墓. 清明节到了。
And latest news given to me was that there will be a CO's Parade this coming Wednesday, and there's a battalion run this Tuesday! Looks like I have took the wrong week off?
