a good day

I reached home today and suddenly realised what a good day this has been.
Not a great day. But just good. Smooth sailing, refreshing, tantalizing.

No bus woes today. 195 arrived reasonably while 75 took less than a minute.
Had a mini "adventure" on learning how to use the library's printer with Shahril.
We're students about to enter year 3, but we knew nuts about getting our papers printed.

Entered the classroom being "fashionably" late.
Lecture practically ended as soon as we entered and the group presentations followed.
We were the last group to present so couldnt leave early. But i didn't mind.
It was the last class together and i'm kinda sentimental.

Eye candy came in some time after me. That much later; that much more fashionable.
A sight to behold. Won't be seeing her too many times i guess.
Moments later the door in front of me suddenly opened automatically.
I jumped on my seat. The class laughed. But for a moment i tot i was being the target of a mafia shoot and run. Think 'Godfather'

My presentation went smoothly; even had time to joke with the lecturer.
And also time to make glances towards the other eye candy. heh

After class went back to GESS.
Here onwards, i met so many people.
My Part A Platoon Sergeant from back when I was sec 1 boarded 16 a stop before the one i alighted at. It was a very short conversation.
But i felt that we caught up so much.
Told him about Chi Jie being the first one of us enlisting today.
On the way out of the bus i accidentally stepped on a lady's foot.
Sincerely apologized, and she sincerely forgave with a smile.

My mind was overloaded with NCC memories after my chance meeting with Nicholas.
At the security guardhouse of GESS, the guard enthusiastically told me to head on in without even needing the visitor's pass. It made me feel that i'm still welcomed in the GESS family.

Checked on the status of Annual Camp's preparations. Not that good, but we'll catch up.

Saw lots of familiar faces; Raymond and Sin Hua to name a few.
Glad to see there are others taking time out to help out the alma mater.

The guard waved us goodbye and opened the gate for us on our way out.

Had dinner then with Rahim, Wai Leong and Benny.
Mr Beh happened to be passing by. He then settled and had dinner with us, along with
giving us his fries.
That was when Alex came by as well. Always good to see an NCC senior/acquaintance.

Had a lengthy chat session with Mr Beh and the rest over kopi treated by him.
Impressed with Mr Beh's never ending plans to travel the world.
He plans his life really well i think.
Talked about lots of things.
And while doing so, saw other familiar faces who were walking by Bengawan Solo.
In this case, Ryan Chow and Zhao Feng and the bball guys.

10pm, waited for 195 with Wai Leong who was nice enough to accompany me until my bus arrived. In the bus, didnt notice i was standing next to Meixian until halfway thru the journey.
Walked our way home while catching up as well.
Seems like the only thing i talk to her about whenever i see her is school.
Her brother got into my course but is currently waiting for appeal results.

Reached home and chatted with Meixian's mom who happened to be downstairs.
She always talks about her son.
And even more so since i may well be his senior soon.

Ah Peng then appeared. He's Yi Fan's uncle. Yi Fan used to live at my block. Back then, all of us were a group of neighbours who played catching at the playground together.
Again, the memories rushed in.
Short chat with Ah Peng before the lift arrived.
He mentioned i got taller.
U wont know how much that means to me. :)

Nothing extravagant happened today.
Instead it was the small things that made me happy.
And looking at all the problems and issues i've been facing lately,
i think things are finally starting to get better.

Man, today was a good day.
