Your typical beng!

Had a wonderful time at the beach yesterday. It's one of those memorable moments, the ones that you will look back and smile, the one that will make you want to really go back in time to re-experience it. The time I had in 4E4 really seems like a different world compared to 1L05. Everyone seemed simpler and happier. No projects and never give any thought to studies. I really wanna go back in time to re-experience it all : The laughter, the joy, the heartaches and all the nonsense. All my possessions for a moment of time. It's kind of funny how men learn to treasure things. You will only learn that something is precious only after it is forever out of your grasp. It may sound corny, but it's really true. To quote Mr Justin Toh, " You will miss the life here after you leave this school." Guess what Mr Toh? You nailed my feelings with that sentence!

We visited the "dirty" side of Geylang yesterday too. The trip was really an eye-opener. The sickening glean in the eyes of the men, the jaded, painful glance of the girls, it's really saddening. To think some people actually glorify the visiting of such places. It hurts me a lot to see the ladies like that. To be used as, what? Tools? What circumstances forced these ladies to do all that? Poverty? A broken life? It's a really helpless situation there. You can't do nuts, and they can't do jack. What a place!
