2006-11-12T01:10:00.000+08:00

it's been quite a long while since this blog is updated.

time flies. before all of us know it, the year of the end is here.

everybody has gone a different path this year.
university. poly. army. yjc.

in the midst of the busyness of life..
i wonder.. who still reminiscise on those precious memories that we once had together. that 2 weeks.

i'm glad that this is the best memory that yjc has given me.
i'm glad to know all of you guys, and actually getting closer to a certain few.
i'm glad for so many things..
are you?

as time passes us by, have we all forgotten these friendships?
as clinche as it may sound, is it really true that people just walk in and out of our lives? memories will just fade away?

clinging on tight.

i wish this wouldn't be true.

growing up is sometimes so painful.

and looking back, it's all those bitter sweet memories that we once had.

2005-12-15T17:22:00.000+08:00

hmm shall update about sabasket gatherg that was held sometime in the middle of 05. cant really remember clearly what happened, but i haf some vague memories of us playg pool at lucky plaza (huda quite pro), buyg drinks at 7-11, playg truth or dare at cineleisure (silly dares like singing and dancing in full view of the people buyg movie tix), eating dinner at long john's (my combo1 had lotsa crumbs that nite :D), walkg to dhoby ghaut mrt station so that we cld spend more time tog, counting the colourful cows (26 in all i think), everybody takg turns to try on shafi's sunglasses, how shafi almst 'killed' us by dashg across the road whle we girls trusted him & followed him only to face blindg headlamps+ a BEEEEP! and takg neoprints! =)

oh yah, heres somethg abt shafi's spooky encounter back in sabah :) that fateful stormy night (whereby the tree got uprooted) and the malay girls had a close encounter with the snake, he was walkg back to the hall aftr dinner when the stray dogs started barking very loudly, as if they suddenly saw somethg. so he sensed that somethg was amiss, but he shrugged it off. later at nite, aftr he came out of the guys' toilet, he saw this long-haired thing in white hopping away. (jeez, i thought they were supposed to float?!) on his way down the flight of stairs leadg to our comfortable and affordable hall, the thing was sitting at the top of the hall, the attic-shaped rooftop, playg with her hair and staring right at him.

WALAO!!! i cld feel the goosebumps popping while listening to him at long john's.

on a happier note, here are some of the pictures that we took:

2005-12-15T16:09:00.000+08:00

ok,its about time i do somethg for this sabasket blog :) had quite a number of sabasket gathergs but no updates!

29th nov

now you see it, now you dont. friendship remains even if the waves wld wash evrythg away. footprints etched, too deep to wipe off. memories too sweet to forget.

leaves swaying gently to the rhythm of the wind. the bluest of blues, sky and sea merged as one. waves lapping onto the shore, tinged with slivery glittery hues. HAHA, that sounds like somethg out of a tourism mag on nature. well, one of the learng points of the YEP expedition was to appreciate the beauty of the pockets of nature all around us mah! :D

ahh, finally you get to see human beings! they thought they had wings to fly. so they were at the top of the world :)

being the slackers that we are, we posed alot with the rocks instead of running about in the sun. the most strenous activity was burying jie in the sand, and we watched him rose from the dead! :)

our feet are very useful. without them, we wldnt be able to rise & walk again and survive the 3kms to and fro walks back then!

in the train and at gelare: at opposite ends =)

ade,amber&becca stayed overnite at jie's place, while i watched their every move over the webcam. yeah, its nice being the spy! actually its more like watching a tv show, comedy channel. these sillies played bridge, and were confused over who their respective partners are, laughed very loudly, crapped alot and entertained me with their dramatic actions, while i typed out 'subtitles' on the msn screen.

2005-11-18T00:03:00.000+08:00

ATTENTION!!!!!

SABASKET GATHERING IS ON 29NOV TUESDAY!!!!
THOSE WHO CAN TON OVERNIGHT, THAT WILL BE GREAT!
PLEASE BE FREE K!!!!! IT'S TIME FOR A GATHERING~ :))

2005-10-25T01:07:00.000+08:00

i find no better place to blog than here. bleahx.

i feel so lousy inside. sad. down.
yet i'm trying to put up a brave front.
trying to pretend.
trying to cover it all up with a smile.
sometimes it works.
in fact many times it did.
but it's tiring to do so everytime.
and this time round it don't seems to work anymore.

i don't know.
i don't know.
i don't know.

there's so much more in me that i want to say.
but somehow i don't know how to express myself.
or perhaps i rather keep it within myself.
i don't know.
i really don't know.

hurt.
broken.

argh.

*sorry for the ranting. bleahx.

2005-10-25T00:15:00.000+08:00

2005-08-17T22:14:00.000+08:00

i was browsing through my msn list and i saw wei's nick.

it wrote 'aunt lily loves to swim, ooh~ maybe she'a a water lily!'

hahas. somehow i thought of sabah. yea again.

can't imagine how lame WE were back then.

coming up with the name 'SABASKET' and our motto 'LAMERS, LET US RISE & WALK AGAIN'

and the numerous lames jokes that we had throughout that 2 weeks.

it had been fun. really really fun.

and this afternoon i have got nothing better to do and was browsing through those smses in my phone.

i came upon those smses regarding US. the 1st anniversary outing. etc and etc.

it was nice. it brings back many nice memories.

thanks alot guys. for everything.

oh.. becca.. =)

2005-08-14T21:53:00.000+08:00

haha! becca..

=)

i guess. friendship means different tings to different ppl

i guess.. me too. m guilty for neglectin the grp.

=)

somehow.

ppl will drift apart. no matter wat.

these are the tings we cannot help.

n we cannot force them to stay together...!

but at least

SOME ..

some of us..

still treasure tis memory!

n wats more.

whoeva played a part in the TEAM tt we've formed.

will always remain in our heads.

it doesnt matter

if if doesnt stay on other ppl's minds.

as long as WE ourselves remember these good times we've shared!!!

=)

so... TAKE CARE BECCA.

i'm still here. not to worry.

2005-08-13T23:49:00.000+08:00

guess life in school is getting hectic for everybody. especially the year twos since prelims are really getting nearer and nearer.

despite all the busy school work. despite everything. sometimes i just take time off to think back of my life in yj. so far.

yea. seriously i would still think that life in jc aint that great as compared to my sec sch days.

but one thing for sure i know and i know is that i got to know you guys. yes you guys did make a difference. maybe just this tiny bit. or maybe a big one. but still you guys make a difference. i meant it.

many a times. we take things around us for granted. including friendships.

sometimes i really wonder. how long would this sabasket spirit last.

not that i don't have faith in this friendship anymore.

maybe everyone of us are really too busy with our daily schedule that we forgot those good times that we once had together. the kind of spirit. the kind of bond and closeness.

yes there are a few who's constantly there trying to maintain this friendship. this spirit.

but sometimes it's really up to us individuals to decide if we all really treasure everything.

i guess i did.

hahas. just my thoughts.

take care guys. jiayou for prelims/promos k!!!

we all can make it! =D

it's jie's 18th birthday!!!

2005-08-07T00:00:00.000+08:00

hahas it's jie's 18th birthday~!!!

happy birthday to you~
happy birthday to you~
happy birthday to weiii jieee~
happy birthday to you~

hahahas~

:)

2005-07-27T20:02:00.000+08:00

was having a mini competition among my friends.

n we were racing each other in 2 grps of 3 to Katib MRT station.

haha! nope. tts not wat i wanna tell u guys.

i wanna tell u guys.

it reminded me of. the city tour.

tt Mr Goh and Mr Ng made it so wonderfully for us..

i guess. thru out the trip.

we nv really expressed our gratitude to the 3 teachers.

but i tink we do appreciate ms lim more. cos she was like our 'MA MA'

but here.

i'll like to thank Mr Goh and Mr Ng.

they took it to themselves to make the city tour fun!

and enriching!

they were the ones who. created the AMAZING RACE

sabah edition.. tts not the only impressive ting!

IT WAS an ON THE SPOT TING!

imagine their capabilities.

thru out the course

i guess. we got to noe each other more.

enjoyed each other's company.

but did we TRY to get to noe the teachers more?

DID we even appreciate them?

somehow.

i feel guilty.

the teachers sing praises of us.

y? becos they! got to noe us.

they knew how we were like. and how we changed n grew.

YET NONE OF US!

bothered to appreciate the teachers.

perhaps i'm over generalising.

perhaps some of u hav already thanked the teachers. but i personally.

feel tt.

i m guilty of not appreciating the teachers enuff.

rem the 1st day? they went to settle wat we were gonna do.

rem wat Mr ng said? we had to thank ms ben?

den again. it was both Mr Ng n Mr Goh. tt went to see her. n settle wif her out schedule!

i tink i can keep going on...

but i dun wanna nag.

=)

using this blog.

i'd like to thank all the teachers.

thank you all for being such wonderful leaders.

thank you for showing us. how to grow.

how to live.

how to appreciate. how to love. how to learn. how to how to how to..

=)

THANK YOU.

hiyee, something nice to share here :)

The Power of the Dream

Deep within each heart there lies a magic spark
that lights the fire of our imagination
And since the dawn of man
the strength of just "I can" has brought together people of all nations
There's nothing ordinary in the living of each day
There's a special part everyone of us can play
Feel the flame forever burn, teaching lessons we must learn
to bring us closer to the power of the dream
As the world gives us the best to stand apart from all the rest,
it is the power of the dream that brings us here
Your mind will take you far, the rest is just pure heart
You'll find your fate is all your own creation
Every boy and girl, as they come into this world,
they bring the gift of hope and inspiration
The world unites in hope and peace, pray that it will always be
It is the power of the dream that brings us here
There's so much strength in all of us, every woman, child and man
It's the moment that you think you cant, you'll discover that you can!

hang in there til the As/promos are over kaes?
wheeeee!

2005-07-13T00:30:00.000+08:00

..as we go on we remember..all the times we had together..

will we?

=) take me to your heart. again.

2005-07-10T22:31:00.000+08:00

hey. its been sometime since i contributed.

n it seems like everytime i contribute. becos.

someting makes me.

look back on the days.

tink back on those times.

yep.

once again. its tt song.

=) actually. i heard the remix version. haha~ it sounded not too bad. =)

well. actually. tt song holds plenty of meaning for me.

through out the trip. of 2 weeks.

n in a grp of 24. we are not a v small grp.

neither are we a large one.

but den there are ppl bound to b left out.

yep. n there was one of such nitex. or rather some.

i felt alone.. so i turned on the radio played tt song. n layed on the floor.

i jux stoned away till i fell aslp. n was awoken in 10min when the rest of the team came back from dinner. [usually its aft dinner where everyone den got on to play bridge]

hhaha~ sometimes i tink of myself as a loner. its cool k! =)

n tis song. would b there for me. wif me. accompanying me.

it would. tell of how i felt. how i really needed tt someone.

some may call it homesick.

but i wasnt tinking of home.

i felt perfectly at home. wif u guys. =) i love u all.

but i jux felt down.

haha. i dunno. how many of us actually felt left out through out the trip.

n i can sae. i truely understand how u feel.

cos i feel it too.

n i wonder. y we would feel tis way.

perhaps. in every grp. organization. there are bound to b oddballs. =)

who seem to b able to click. yet seem so alone at time. =)

i hope. everyone is alright at tis pt in time.

at any pt in time. if u feel lonely. i can sae for sure.

i'm here for u guys. u've jux gotta let me noe.

=) smilex.

as we meet less n less..

the grp drifts apart. i do hope.

tt we. can be the grp.

tt would last.

tt can still come together.

may not b all of us.

may not b many of us.

but part of us.

would really do us fine. =)

take care my team. rem all out mottos. =)

It was fun being the waterboy.

It is interesting how all enjoyed ourselves even though we didnt have the many comforts that we have at home. Darn, it was my first time washing my own smelly clothes... and wadda hell, i didnt get it right on some of the days... haha

ah... lets talk about now. I'm still the same old me - always with my camera in hand. haha...
jc life's getting a little fast don't you think so? We're outta yjc in 7 months time.
How are u people doing?

2005-03-28T18:24:00.000+08:00

Hey.. though this might be a Christian song.. but the lyrics are really meaningful.. yupps yupps.. =D

Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
I can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through

But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

(CHORUS)
And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.

With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
Is the strength that now you show

But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

(CHORUS)

sabah.

2005-03-27T23:24:00.000+08:00

i miss sabah. i miss those days. of having to worry. abt tings. that i dun usually need to worry. and not needing to worry abt tings i usually worry. in sabah. its all abt love. friendship. togetherness. yet. here in sg. competition. stress. haix. i really feel so much more at home in sabah than here at home. i feel pushed to the edged.. i jux love the life in sabah. i love u guys. for being there for me. its ur physical presence tt calms my mental soul.. i love the ppl there. i love u for accepting me as me.. i love it. i can be myself.. gossipping in the toilet like an auntie.. i dun give a shit. i love my life there. i hav a life there. waiting for me. i noe. it may seem like i'm jux deceiving myself.. but i feel that i really hav a life there.. i dun belong in tis world. of high tech. i would rather. i go there help plant trees. n do tings. have fun. i m willing to give up my all here. to go over. yes.

at some pt in time.. we are faced wif difficulties.. we often search for a place. where our minds can b at ease. n tt place for me. is in SABAH. the hall. the long road. the toilets. the RIC. i love it. the tings we did there.. the friends tt i made there.. the 2 weeks overseas in sabah wif my friends. helpped me get to noe u better.. n help u get to noe me better. i love u all my friends. those in yj. those in sabah. i seriously wish. i can hug each n everyone of u. telling u how much i apprecaite all ur efforts tt u put in during the trip.. i oso wanna tell u how much u guys. shaped my life.. shaped my tinking.. showed me how. to actually b me. i'm truely touched by ur stories.. really. rem those nites. where the candle lights. yes. i miss those nites. rem those times where we shared our life journey.. b4 we went for the trip. i guess we didnt noe each other well.. and d some of us.. didnt share as much. i was touched by the fact tt our closeness in sabah actually led these ppl to actually share more of their life wif me.. yes i m. esp. ppl like swee lian, clarence. . i will nv forget ur stories.. revan as well.. perhaps. each n everyone of us.. hav a story to tell.. yet.. i realised tt i m way way more fortunate than most of u. i do realise tt.. no. i'm not really proud of it.. cos it is not my acheivements.. but those of my parents.. i feel ashamed of myself actually. bcos. its like. u ppl.. are all not as well of as me.. yet u guys are still jux as strong.. like becca. i'm really touched by u.. yes.. haix. sometimes. i envy u guys. for going thru wat u went thru. cos. i noe u guys are strong.. unlike me.. i've been living in my greenhse for a long long time.. i dun even tink i'm eva gonna step out of it.

i feel like its so useless of me. it seems that sabah. actually helpped me grow up. in the 2 weeks. i've seen the power of love. the power of friendship at work.. the bond i hav wif my friends. its jux so amazing. i may not b as close to them now.. i may not even sae hi to them.. but . deep down. i really love u guys. haix.

when i was there.. i actually hope to share a special bond wif each n everone of them.. yes, i manageed. but there are some ppl.. where the bond is weak.. like mine n swee lian.. yet! amazingly.. we, in skool, do sae hi n bye.. n i do try to tok to her~ yes.. its a pity i didnt really get to interact wif kevin.. yes.. i didnt really get to chat wif u... n i do admit.. i keep to 'my clique' quite often.. haha~ i'm sorrie.. yea.. haha~

haix. i really miss those days.. when i'm down n out.. i tink back on those days.. believing that. since i can b so happy in those days.. i too can be happy.. now.. yes. i love u.

i really love u guys. haix. missing all of u aplenty. love u.

2005-03-21T13:42:00.000+08:00

our song*

Hiding from the rain and snow
Trying to forget but I won't let go
Looking at a crowded street
Listening to my own heart beat

So many people all around the world
Tell me where do I find someone like you girl

(Chorus)
Take me to your heart take me to your soul
Give me your hand before I'm old
Show me what love is - haven't got a clue
Show me that wonders can be true

They say nothing lasts forever
We're only here today
Love is now or never
Bring me far away

Take me to your heart take me to your soul
Give me your hand and hold me
Show me what love is - be my guiding star
It's easy take me to your heart

Standing on a mountain high
Looking at the moon through a clear blue sky
I should go and see some friends
But they don't really comprehend

Don't need too much talking without saying anything
All I need is someone who makes me wanna sing
(Chorus)

sing this to urself, close ur eyes and take a few minutes to think abt sabasket and the memories we shared...

2005-02-25T18:35:00.000+08:00

Jie.. ur sadness spread to me le..

Hmm.. anyway yuh.. in the midst of the stillness of the night.. i just thought of sabah again..

Memories.. i wonder if memories do last forever.. and if forever even existed..

Yups.. to others.. what we are rattling about in here might seems stupid..

It may seems pointless to some people on why we keep thinking or even missing something that's been over for so long..

But you know it, i know it.. that this experience is rare and unique to each and everyone of us..

And yea.. thanks to this trip that i got to know wonderful people like you guys..

And its abit amazing that our friendship actually only grows even more after the trip..

Hehs.. yupps yupps..

Though in school we might not see each other often like how we got to see each other EVERY single moment.. its still the friendship forged that counts..

Time flies.. and it will continue flying..

It will not stop for us to relive or even regret things in life..

Hmm.. treasure whatever you have..

Life is short.. enjoy it..

Bleahx.. just blabbering some nonsense here..

Hehs.. miss you guys lots~

I do hope another gathering is coming up soon..

Ok i think i should go.. its almost 3am..

sabah. i miss u.

[listening to Sabasket Athem: take me to ur heart, MLTR]

tt song brings back memories.. i rem clearly.. on the day of our departure..

on the bus.. i sang tt song. along wif several others. at the air port.. many of us were tired.

haix.

i rem the times. in sabah.. when i was feeling down.. feeling lonely..

i jux took my slping bag. armed wif a pen n my diary..

i turn on tis song. sat there.. n started writing..

at one pt. or another. i fell aslp. to tis song.

come to tink of it. tis june. will b our 1yr anni.

wow. time flies.

i rem the times. when we didnt even know each other.

i didnt tok to u guys.

i didnt noe u guys.

i didnt care abt who u guys are.

but.

i made friends. friends tt always stood by me. n still standing now.

we may not keep in contact as often. we may not see each other as often.
we may even forget the times we spent in sabah.

but i hope. we wont forget. the friendship we forged. the moment. sabasket is formed.

i m sad. tt the trip came to an end. i was tired pysically. at the sepilok airport on our way to brunei. i was v sianx. seriously. n if u guys noe. my v good bros n sis.. took a wonderful pic of me slping.. yes~ its well taken.. i dun really wanna go back. call it escaping reality.. or wateva u wan. but. i noe. life. is going back to normal. it was a good break from the normality of life. but. to return to my way of life. it was a warm feeling.. yet. it took a bit of courage to feel. BACK AT HOME..

many of u may hav been bored wif tis song.. tt till now. i m listening to. but. i love tis song.
tis song. contains all my memories. expresses all my feelings. listening to it. often brings tears to the eye. n i try to listen to it.. only if i'm feeling down..

brings me back to the days of laughter. sadness. loneliness. a mixture of all my emotions.
actually. the days in sabah.. is slipping away from me.. when i m in the midst of all tt hw frenxy..
it is only now.. tt i slow down. n search for. account for. look for. explain for. all the feelings. the bottled emotions of my heart.

in the midst of my laughter. my happiness.. my anger? in sabah.. i guess.. the one side tt i nv showed anyone in YJ is. the sadness tt i feel. no one has eva seen me sad b4. i mean the YJcians. even in ZHSS. but. everytime i embrace sadness. i embrace it alone. i dun wanna let sadness spread. u may not agree. but. sadness. does. spread. n hav an effect on ppl.
no. i'm not encourraging to keep all ur feelings bottled up alone. nope. share it. sometimes. it really helps. i agree..

i dunno y suddenly i hav so much emotions running thru me. i'm feeling disappointed wif myself. n i listened to tis song. n. it made me write wat i feel down here. i really thk u guys. for having tis blog. for listening to me tok abt my feelings.

come to tink of it. i'm not really embracing my sadness alone now. cos. i'm sharing wif u guys. =)
tts a heartening thought.

i rem the nite. the nite aft the bbq. nope. i'm not really sad. every ting goes in a circle. wats starts mux end. tts how tings work. haix. yes. sadly.

i'm starting to understand the meaning of regret even more in my short span of writing time. as in. i seem to understand the meaning of regret.. as i type tis blog.. i really hate. not being able to hold on to as much of sabah as i can. haix. i really wanna go back. but, as someone told me b4. going back would nv be the same. tings will nv happen for a second time. tings will change. the only ting we can do. is to relieve those memories. n make new ones. while the old ones. stays in our head. haix.

i guess. tts all for now. i really miss everyting. i need it. i need a break. i need. i need. haix.

i love sabah. i miss it. nv gonna get over it.

2005-02-21T14:17:00.000+08:00

hehs.. really sorry about that..
some last minute stuff crop up at home that day that's why i can't make it..
and i think a few others overslept =/

yups..

happy happy valentine's day!! =)

although the sepilok youths and sabasketeers are in different countries, our frenships are not lost and will never be. we may be far apart in distance, but close in heart.

some frens are like stars. we do not see them all the time, but we know they are always there.

miss you guys...

2005-01-31T19:04:00.000+08:00

oh man the pictures sure brings back lots and lots of memories..

though its been more than half a year since we're back here.. im sure many of us still misses the times spent there together greatly..

looking forward to seeing you guys during the wednesday meeting and also sunday's gathering. hopefully many will be able to make it for the outing to sentosa..

and we shall rock the beach and play like mad..

hehes.. thats all for now..

meanwhile try to ENJOY school pple.. hang on~

=)
BecCA

and the memories go on...

2005-01-30T11:33:00.000+08:00

heys (:

Am looking forward to the Sabasket gathering next week! It's been quite some time since the whole bunch of us sat down and crapped together.

Last night, I was looking through my online albums and I found some photographs. hee. I thought I'd share it with you guys, it brought back some really good memories for me ((:

Anyways, I hope once the permanent time-tables are out for us J1's, we'd get to meet more often, because I miss hanging out with you guys. haha. Nevermindddd, we'll all go crash their prom. wahha!

okok, here's pictures! as promised (:

the silly sleeping bag race!

leeches. some of us loved it, while others like Leonard loathed it.

our first day there. FLOOR CLEANING~ - wheee!-

Team Sabasket. i *heart* you

2005-01-25T21:46:00.000+08:00

gotta breathe some life into this place to make it more lively =)

cant wait for the next sabasket gathering! yippeeees! hope it wld be another memorable day for all of us...wheeeeeee!

its actually quite difficult to maintain the frenships in sabasket, considering the fact that we are all in different levels and classes, but we gotta keep believing in our frenships and cherish the memories we shared. the past may be gone for good, but the future is ours; wif lots of empty spaces for us to create even more beautiful memories. =) as long as sabasket has a place in each of our hearts, our frenships wld be able to withstand the test of time and distance.

may our promise hold the team together, closer than before. someday. we will be back in the place we called home for two weeks. *wags lil' finger* shake on it.

this is home..truly...

2005-01-16T13:32:00.000+08:00

2004 had become history
2 weeks of 2005 had been over
time flies really fast

school's started
different classes different levels different timetables
but still we'll be sabasket
hahas
study hard people
see you guys around in school

2004-11-28T14:40:00.000+08:00

hehs.. didnt know that this blog is still being updated after being stagnant for so long.. but still.. im glad there is.. hahas.. and here i am to update..

anyway the sabasket chalet is over liao.. 4 days seems to fly by.. though the chalet was so slack and relaxing.. and not all turn up.. but im sure we had our part of fun yea.. being there together seems like we're back there in sabah.. just that this time round the atmospher is different.. maybe its also because why we chose changi.. cause of its desertedness.. it seems like we're back in sabah.. hehs.. sleeping together in the floor in the living room when there's beds for us.. hahas.. playing and crapping together.. it just brings back too much of memories.. the boardwalk.. seems like the orang utan rehab center.. which sha suddenly said while walking.. hmm.. the long walk to the beach and to changi village seems like the walk to and fro RIC.. everything we do there just seems to resemble what we did in sabah.. but we all know.. its diff.. we cant get back that kind of feeling again.. it would just be memories kept deeply in our hearts..

rem on thurs afternoon.. at the boardwalk with jie twins and ml.. just relaxing there.. i think of the times we had in sabah.. so fun.. we were so bonded.. we played together.. we crapped together.. we eat together.. we sleep together.. we do so many things together.. but sometimes i really wonder if this unique friendship still have the uniqueness in it.. hmm.. i dont know.. perhaps to some only..

bbq was not bad.. glad that most pple came.. though not all are there.. im sure we had fun.. eating.. playing water bombs and stuff..

4 days really seems to fly with the company of sabasket pple.. sad that all of us are not promoted together.. we cant go thru A levels together.. cant go for prom together.. cant do alot of stuff together.. but really hope this friendship is still gonna be special.. and everyone will be together again once in awhile..

looking forward to the next gathering..
any suggestions anyone?

sabasketeers forever
=)

2004-11-18T17:57:00.000+08:00

I realised that hardly anyone ever updates this thing! ):

So I shall do the honours and start the ball rolling. ((:

Anyyyyways..in response to Jie's comments , about us forgetting about Sabah..I doubt that's ever possible because I realised earlier on today, as I thought about this year, that many friendships were formed from Sabah. Although, yes, some people have indeed drifted furthur apart from us, but, still.. there are a handful of us , who still keep in contact with each other nonetheless.

Okay, anyways..I think the week preceeding to Hari Raya, I happened to be cleaning out my desk.. (you know..all the necessary spring cleaning), and..I found our Sabah pictures (: And , it cannot be denied , that almost instantly, the surge of memories came back to me , like rapids.. And there was this yearning, to be back there, together with the rest of them , once again.
I probably haven't been a very good 'overseas' friend to many of the Sepilok Youth..we hardly email nor do I keep in touch with them. But heh, 'tis the season for forgiveness and making amends , am I not right ? ((:

Well, I know that not all the Sabasket members were promoted. heh.I'm one of the few suay ones. But, to those who got promoted... congrats!! (: Jia you for the A's k!
and for those , who like me, didn't make it , due to circumstance, or just because of poor results, we'll band together..and work real hard hmmm ? ((:

and to save the best for last... as I was cleaning..I found this. hehe ((:

so Jie, I haven't forgotten Sabah yet. *grins*

missing everyone

2004-11-13T07:44:00.000+08:00

haix~ its been like 4mths since we came back.. yet.. those fond memories always comes into my mind.. during nitex at which i lie on my bed wanting to fall aslp... i tink of those nitex in Sabah.. which i slept so soundly that even when i was shoke, pushed punched ,kicked, having bees on me.. i still didnt wake up.. (erm.. fake fake a bit.. but i really didnt wake up) haha~

perhaps.. soon enough.. ppl might forget that we've even been there..

or the places or tings or Sabasket..

but.. i'm sure..

times of joy n laughter..
days of walking and toking..
nitex of facilitation n life journey..

they were a wonderful mix..

one that creates a rainbow.. that seems to last forever..

whenever.. Sabah.. seem to drift to the back of my head..

somehow.. tings seems to push it to the front..

seeing sabaket in skool

chats wif becca..

brings back those magical memories..

but.. is sabasket still a sabasket? or.. are we jux in name..

sometimes.. i see some of the sabasket ppl..

i dunno lah

watever it is..

i loved the nitex there.. there seems to b a wonderful magical feeling that goes around..

even though ppl might hav fallen aslp..

ppl might be falling aslp.. but.

there's jux tis amazement..

when i tink back.. sometimes..

i wish.. i had been better to everyone back then..

i wish sad tings didnt hav to come to end..

i wish.. i'd stop here now i guess..

=) missing nitex in sabah.. cant ever get them back..

fondest memories..

craved into my mind..

i'll nv forget..

2004-07-09T00:31:00.000+08:00

yea i got to agree man.. if not for what mr goh said on that particular sunday night after our night walk.. it wouldnt have made us a better TEAM.. instead we would just be like a group of pple.. there to have fun.. with no purpose in mind.. it is by what he said that really makes us wanna do make a difference in this trip.. to do things seriously with a purpose.. and achieve something out of it.. hmm well, he did brought us to the right path. this trip really wouldnt had been possible without every single one of u guys.. all of us, from different family and backgrounds.. came together and form a TEAM.. working together is truly a nice and different experience.. with different pple having different abilities.. we did learn alot from one another.. and help one another along the way.. yuh.. this is what a real TEAM should be doing..

its the 3rd week since we're back in singapore.. we cant deny the fact that we still misses sabah alot.. maybe not to all of us, but def majority of us. hmm.. lets keep these sweetest and fondest memories deep in our hearts.. and keep this special and unique friendship of SaBaSkEtEeRs burning brightly.. surely we wouldnt want to see the bonds built over the 2 weeks there broken just like that right.. its def gonna be a a waste man.. we went thru so much together.. as a TEAM.. the fun.. the laughters.. the scoldings.. the long walk to and fro RIC.. the times we played cards.. the life journeys.. eating together.. rehearsing our items.. sleeping in a hall closely together.. overcoming fears.. and even bathing together for some.. so much so much more.. its def memorable right.. the 'home' to us will remain as a 'home' deep in our hearts from now.. till ever..

SaBaSkEtEeRs, u guys rocks~~~

memories are here to stay.. wif pictures to remind us of how sweet they were.. now that we are back.. and still meeting once more.. it makes me feel sad.. that tings have changed.. we are no longer there.. haha~ but thank goodness! i still have u guys! heeX! today's meeting.. was like.. FINAL FAREWELL from mr goh.. haha~ its so sad.. haix yo.. make me feel like crying.. those pictures.. brought me back to Sabah.. as if i'm still living there.. plus the sharing that we had.. it aws almost as if we were doing the debrief once more.. i'm really touched.. i guess.. when u guys say this is a once in a life time experience.. it truely is one.. i guess.. i'll neva ever have such an xperience again.. wats so significant abt tis trip was not only the service learning part.. it was the staying in the hall, coping wif centipedes.. not only 1 but 2.. wif the cold water.. and flush-less toilets.. bathing wif pails.. haha~ there are other things i miss too! the 3 km walk there to the RIC~ rainforest hall.. hubert.. ms ben.. kim,may,cecilia... not forgetting the tough times as well.. the scoldings from mr ng.. mr goh.. that woke us up from the dream we were all having.. i guess.. these are the tings that makes tings special.. plus.. instead of having a big space to slp.. we all squeeze into the front and on the stage.. the teacers doing duty.. haha.. a pity i miss out 'charles' gambling den' haha~ sorrie guys.. still cant forget the fact tt i woke up an hour late.. =P sorrie!! hehex~ i miss sabah.. i've gone to trips overseas.. wif my parents.. but tings were different.. i enjoyed touring those places.. but i enjoyed living in Sabah.. i tink most of us have grown attached to tt place.. where all of us call home for the 13 days.. it was amazing... i miss everything there~ missing...

2004-07-08T22:58:00.000+08:00

so long nobody blog eh.. let me start the ball rolling ba..

hmm.. today's meeting really a nice and sad one.. enjoyed being together as a TEAM, as SaBaSkEt once more.. enjoyed sitting in a circle brainstorming for ideas again.. its never dull with u guys around.. those lameness.. those laughters.. the joys and happiness we gave one another.. its really worth treasuring.. really..

the sharing session also.. somehow it bring our minds back to those memories in sabah once more isnt it.. we cant deny the fact that this is a fantastic trip.. and its really a memorable one.. i believe u guys said those words from the bottom of ya hearts just now.. lets withhold these memories together as a TEAM.. and may it never fades..

lastly, the video our dear mr goh did for us.. he spent nights doing it.. should really thanks him for that effort.. that memory that he had given us.. during the video, it really brings back lotsa memories isnt it.. everything just keeps flowing back naturally.. sigh.. lucky thing is that the lights are off la.. hehs..

but well, we're still gonna work together as a TEAM for the open house.. and hopefully many more things coming our way.. may the SaBaSkEt spirit last forever..

cheers~
