iRoom CleaningI finally got down to clearing my room a few days ago. Afterall, I'm gonna be living in somewhere different in a month's time, thought it's only fair for me to toss the stuff I don't really need anymore. Threw away 8 garbage bags worth of stuff! Ok, I'm exaggerating, haha. Interestingly, as I was rummaging through my drawers and stacks of papers from god-knows-what-module/era, I found some
stuff. =)

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this. Prior to studying in NP, I've actually been to the campus some 11 years ago! I actually do remember the occassion, was some enrichment course. Pretty fun, we played with some plasticy compounds or smth. Well I was never the science/chem kind of person to begin with.

This was my name tag in Catholic High. For those who aren't aware, Cat High adopts a "different-color-for-each-batch" approach when labelling us. So for those in my batch, we were "yellow". The batch which came in when I was Sec 2 were "green", followed by blue then red. And when I graduated, the incoming Sec 1s were yellow again. 4 year cycles. Useless trivia, yes. =)

This was certainly memorable! I think some of you may know that I used to do radio broadcasting back in Cat High. This was actually an article in the Straits Time featuring us as the pioneer Radio Broadcasting Station among Secondary Schools. I know it reads "History Program", but we did much more than that. I was reprimanded for playing Savage Garden's "Truly, Madly, Deeply", because it contained this line "...and bathe with you in the sea". WTH.
This is me in the picture! haha. Eons ago I know. Well anyway, that's my grandma. She passed away some 8+ years ago. Miss her "sometimes bland, sometimes too salty" food, miss her nagging, miss her funny remarks in teochew. Miss her.
Found alot more stuff actually, shall leave that to another time. Can't wait to start studying again! =) Take care people. TGIF!
