past vs present.was pretty overwhelming to see almost the entire saints rugby family gathered together to have a game or two and to enjoy ourselves.ruggers of all ages.U14 to O(ver)35.how amazing.people meeting up with familiar faces,loads of catching up done,reminiscing bout the good old days.it feels good to be playing alongside not only your own current team mates but also the coaches and graduated ruggers who can really joke off the pitch but when it comes to playing,there was no room for jokes and complacency.a bunch of really interesting people i'd met on this very day.dint get to play very much tho,but it was a really good experience.
after the various games,many stayed for the dinner catered for us by the alumni.food was great,ambience was no doubt excellent.how much more can one expect from this meaningful get-together..
after the dinner and interaction,had to rush off to snrs' farewell for my previous track mates.was awfully late and i couldnt turn up in some funky retro sense becos of the games in the aftnoon,but well,dress codes are secondary because whats more important is to meet up with the guys whom i had not met for a long long time.yet another hella good time together.really missed those fellows.esp the J1 team mates,ppl like ziyou,gavin,leon.etc..but well,the J2s as well.esp the guys.how we first met as a team,den further on as friends,initial hi-s and byes evolving into hi-s and byes and a lil more,and it just keeps going on.
..be amazed,but time travels at 9908394843 km/h. a year had almost passed just like this..
memories of;
how i first received titus's msg rgding trng and how he took all the J1 boys for trngs
my first day in the big family, sitting alone till rachel approached and told me to mingle around. and the first 2 guys i spoke to,GAVIN and ZIYOU
my first conversation with sum was when he asked me to describe that starry night sky while we were heading for dinner aft trng.
my first conversation with alan in the toilet and he asked if i played magic..haha
my first impression of mr rene loh in the gym.joker.and i wasnt too far off.just that besides being a joker,hes a really nice and encouraging man.
my first impression of leon,mr "i-am-too-good-to-talk-you".i must admit,i was really wrong back then because he turned out to be one of my closest trng mate and still is.funny,lame,crappy.all the various adjective to describe this joker.haha
my first REAL conversation with gunawen rgding CNY and the memorable trip to marche hrs before trng with rachel.haha
the fact that i found out shaowei was a fellow chongfu boy which explains why he seemed so familiar at first sight.
not forgetting one important person.and thats teck kuan.someone i had known back in my green shorts day.someone whom you can really trust and joke with.someone who will share your troubles and a very very very very responsible throws i/c.

oh, and sharon was really nice to pass me one of the CDs which were meant for the graduating snrs.thankyou so much.
all those memories which i kept in the small lil corner of my puny brain dedicated for this bunch of people started to resurface as i ran through the videos and pictures in the CDs.theres still this teeny weeny bit of unwillingness to let go in my head yst that i cldnt sleep but stayed up all night just to think about those good old days.
..well,we must all learn to let go..
BUT;
im really blessed to have found another bunch of crazy and funny fellows in a new environment. i must really thank god for allowing me to have the opportunity to meet them. the various frendlies and the major competition which we went through together.thank god for everything,and thankyou guys.
..till then..
