House days.

Had supper after House course with a few Soul Funky people. We sat and talked for hours, then headed to Heeren where JW parked his car and started dancing in the empty basement.

Fun :)

What keeps me alive in school.

This morning, just like most other mornings, I woke up thinking of an excuse not to go to school. But I dragged myself out of bed anyway.

This lesson, just like most other 8.30am lessons, had a much smaller number of students in it. Luckily for me, some people I knew turned up, and I had company for that class. Then I got some stuff done, and went to meet SY for lunch, with her coursemates and YL. Thanks for the company :) I would've hated it if I had to be alone for the few hours.

Met J for his EAR801 lecture. I had expected to be doing my own work in there, but the lecture was pretty interesting and I ended up actually listening through most of it. The same didn't quite happen for the FIL250 lecture later in the evening. Between that, we took a walk to his ex-hall and took a few pictures with the Holga :)

It's kinda nice being in the same lessons as J.

Had dinner at JP, a cookies&cream milkshake, then went home. J missed his last train home just so he could send me back to Pasir Ris, despite the fact that all I was doing was sleeping next to him. Thanks <3

School's not so bad after all.

Over.

Finally.

I'm so thankful that the SP programme went relatively okay. A little sad that I didn't get to experience the camp from a freshie/GL's point of view. Only got to see the behind-the-scenes not-so-fun stuff. But SP night was enjoyable. The dancing part :) Hope to see more of this in Soul Funky next time.

J kept me company for much of the camp, even though I was busy running around and doing stuff. I'm so glad he was there anyway. Would've gone crazy if he hadn't been around. Thanks Baby :)

So it kinda went like this.

Monday dance practice for next day's performance until 11pm. Went to meet J to get my Soul Funky tee, reached home about half past midnight. Slept around 2. Woke at around 6 to get to school for FOC. Did FOC stuff while waiting and waiting. Headed home to get more stuff and meet J. Went to the chalet and prepared SP stuff. Rushed around like a madwoman because almost everything wasn't going according to plan. Thankfully the programmers were helpful and thankfully J was there. SP interaction finally over, had programmers' meeting. Then main comm meeting. Didn't feel like doing my SP stuff for the next day so just stayed with J and talked a bit. Ended up taking a cab back to his place at 4.45am to take a shower and a 15-minute nap before heading back to the chalet in another cab. Immediately headed out for Sentosa to set up the beach games stuff. Got sunburnt. Took a pickup to amazing race station and got drenched because it started pouring while we were on it. Did SP stuff while doing the amazing race station. Then came back home after all OGs were done. Kept nodding off on the train - while standing. Uber tired.

And i'm about to leave for the chalet again.

My baby Soul Funky's now a rebellious teen.

"OI! KNN! MUST BE FUCKING HAPPY LA KNN!"

It's difficult being a good... everything all at the same time.

Mom just snapped at me because she hasn't been seeing much of me.

I'm having family dinner tomorrow. Nobody touch me.

Soul Funky Memories: I Wanted You

For some reason, the song ‘I Wanted You’ started playing in my head this morning. I’d say stuck in my head, but that’s not exactly the right phrase to use when I’m actually playing it on repeat now.

I know that ever since I stepped into NTU, I’ve been saying that I hate the place, that I have no friends, and that I just want to get my degree and get out of there.

Yet, now, all I can think of is how much I’ll miss everything when it’s all over.

Not surprisingly, all the good memories I have of school involve Soul Funky. Heck, practically all the memories I have of school involve Soul Funky [J is included under Soul Funky]. Which is why I’ve always said that if it wasn’t for Soul Funky, I wouldn’t be in NTU. And I guess that’s who/what I’ll miss.

Here I am, sitting in the office doing work, but in my mind, I’m sitting at the table in Hall 16 studio that isn’t supposed to be there. It’s a mess with all our drinks, bags and laptops. It’s after Soul Funky training and TK has taken over with his hall dancers. We’re watching amusedly as Fabian does his stretching… for his Strawberry. We laugh at Bangbang doing the couple part and YB trying to learn the girl’s choreo. And after we’re finally done, we head to Macs for dinner. Then back home/hall.

The simple things that kept me alive.

We have done irreversible damage to JW.

Yeah.

We went to send Max off at the airport. I didn't spend a lot of time with him during the year he was here, but just the whole taking our last photos together, watching him take his bag and wave goodbye, not knowing whether we'll ever see him again... made me feel like crying.

Maybe I just really really hate goodbyes.

-

Emo-ed on my way home. An unexpected phone call made me so touched that I cried. Thank you.

Nosebled twice today. The second time I was just stuck in the bathroom trying to get the blood to stop for like 15 minutes. Annoying as hell.

-

Tomorrow is the start of week 5. 6 more weeks to go.

SF.

Wanted to write a whole lot more, but it's almost 3am and i'm pretty sure i'm not going to survive the whole of tomorrow at work. Especially since it's a Monday.

Was talking to SY about how come I love Soul Funky so much yet I find it so difficult to write stuff about it. Then I figured it was just hard to explain all this emotional stuff to people.

I just love Soul Funky. Because of everything.

Soul Funky Times.

I'll buy this tomorrow.

Something that Tee Wee and Fabian need.

Fabian found his self-help book :D

Camouflage win.

Memories.

This morning on the way home, I heard a song on the radio. I don't know what song it is, but I recognised it from the video that was made by the A&F IG main comm for our Celebration of Learning. And then I heard it again in Aunty Jo's car when we were returning home from dinner.

Unfortunately the video has been taken down, or I would've posted it here.

Poly life was awesomely fun. So carefree. It was really my turning point [though I ended up turning back during Uni, but that's besides the point]. Made so many friends and by the end of 3 years, almost everyone knew everyone else. Had time to have fun and still get work done properly. Heck, even working on projects together was fun.

A bit sad that after Uni year 1, I changed back to the quiet person I was in secondary school. It's a good thing I have Soul Funky to keep me insane though [yes, insane; not a typo]. And of course, in year 2 sem 2, school turned from a hellhole to a place of security.

Those Soul Funky trainings almost every night. Training hard together even though we were all exhausted. I miss it.

But I miss hall the most. The place where everything was perfect and even if it wasn't, it would end up being okay eventually. The simple happiness. I don't know why, but I miss it so, so much.

"Buildings crumble. People die. Friends move away. But your memory of them will always stand. And they will be as real there, inside you, as they were when they were standing next to you.

Your memories are real. They are the dreams of the past. And they will live with you always."

Thanks for making me smile today :)

Soul Funky LOVE.

Soul Muggers

Soul Sleepy

Soul Gamblers

Soul Gay

Soul Awesome

Yes, I remember. And I'll never forget :)

Jeremy posted this on Facebook. I was trying not to cry in the lab while I watched it. Not because of the video though. Yeahyeah call me a crybaby or whatever.

I love Soul Funky.

Finally.

JDC's over. And I already miss my fellow dancers. Soul Funky and Nutcrackers. I love how we can always have so much fun even when we're all so tired. Mugging/sleeping/gambling/screaming/practising in the jail cell/toilet.

Thank you all for giving me such a wonderful experience. It might have been exhausting but i'd do it all over again if given the chance.

Fabian, Wei Long, Jian Hui, Yuan Bin, Jian Wei, Yen Leong, Alvin, Jun Lum, Lingxiao, Yasai, Cherry, Liu Ye and of course Sein Yan. Love you guys lots :)

JDC rehearsal.

Awesome.

We're in a 'dressing room' that smells worse than the toilet next to it, even after we sprayed air freshener. And our 20 minutes to do the block run [which was already short to begin with because we have to share the time with Bboys] was shortened to 15 minutes.

Hahaha.

Aching all over.

But happy :) Choreo and blocking is finally done. And while things have not exactly gone smoothly throughout our preparation, we're on track, and it's less than a week before we'll be performing on stage.

...OMG O_O

Jiayou Soul Funky!

Had to.

Only Soul Funky would know. Lol.

This too shall pass.

After this week.
