Those were the times

yesterday's post, since blogger and my connection sucks yesterday

random ramble : when i was fetching my sis home from school, i spotted two squashed dead rat. yuck.. grossness ..

yesterday went out to do gokuyo in the kaikan .. and i met one of my group mate from the p50 project. we chatted for about 5 mins then parted ways.

and that left me feeling nostalgic for the whole day. it was like seeing him made me remember how we used to strive for one goal. how we push forward for one thing.

my group mates are from other region, different place than mine so we can't meet up often so it was like 1 month ++ , we haven't seen each other since the reunion night. when i greeted him, the first words he said was :-

" hao jiu bu jian" ( long time no see)

then i now think back, it HAS been a long time considering we see each other and the others every weekend for two months, practicing no matter rain or shine.

the sun did not dried up our eagerness and the rain did not drown our spirit.

we were not close but yet it made me ponder the whole day about the two months.

truth to be told, i miss those days like how i missed National Services day. unlike NS days, i didn't cry when the two months ended.

for NS days however, tears poured like crazy when we had to leave, guys and girls alike.

nevertheless, i miss E3 days and i miss NS days too.

and i'm so glad in both times, i have contributed to the country, even though it was not my primary aim.

NS was a way for me to prove to myself that i was able to be independent and i can separate from my parents for an amount of time. when i was in Kelantan, in camp, without tv and without the computer, trapped in the middle of the rubber plantation with nothing but people and more people, i guessed i strive and survive on my own and i came home knowing i have achieve something i thought i couldn't.

with p50 project however, it was to test my determination and patience. to test my strong will and capability to be thrown into the world and struggle to swim. there were language barriers but i managed to pull through. in the end, on the big day itself, we managed to pull our minds together and unite with team work to come up with a superb performance. imagine putting your life and safety in the hands of someone you just knew for two months.

yes, i'm bragging but it's the truth. i have the right to do so. that's the sense of pride and joy i had when we managed to get loud applause from everyone. i have to thank Ikeda Sensei for believing in us and always giving us encouragement.

there you have it. two of my biggest accomplishment nation wide that i had gone through.

i don't regret missing classes or feeling awfully exhausted because i would give almost anything to rewind and redo everything again.
