Hi guys, it's posting tomorrow. No matter where u r posted to. Remember to take care of yourselves and don't do silly things. To those who are going to OCS, think of it as entering a (regimental) country club : ) To the girls, it's April oredi. 3 more
months to studies. Don't spend all your time working. Must spend some time injecting money into the S'pore economy if not inject into other countries' economy. Hope to see all of u soon. Love, Jason.

Theresa, you should actually find out more about design since you're interested in it. There is a demand for interior designers and I read about SPH offering scholarships to students studying graphic design, not interior design though. Dunno if you'll be
nterested. Can talk to me individually if you want to find out more. Meanwhile, these 6 months are precious. Half of it is gone already. At least the girls have no NS to tie them down. So Theresa, you can actually consider taking some courses iin design t
test the waters. Opportunities are availble, you just got to be bolder. Get to know people in such fields who can advise you better. I'm also just as confused. My dream is to be an artiste. But alas, maybe it can only remain a dream..... Whenever I think
of myself rotting away in an Engineering lecture, I see a bleak destiny ahead. Anyone out there with not-so-traditional interests too? Or is everybody the down-to-earth human being? Anyway, today is the last day of your block leave, guys, so seize the day
Like I said, 24 hrs a day seems too little.....

hi guys... just came back form my pop d & d...
heard u guys went out today? i couldn't make it.... well.. it's been a pretty tiring week....
the PT just got alot worse...we had 1000 jumping jacks (a few hundred with fullpack) after our night snack ard 11pm....and 700+ pushups within 3 days...not to mention daily runs of abt 4 to 5km....
sorree....really dun mean to complain... but it's getting quite hectic....mind and body are both stressed out...so glad tt there are 2 holidays next week...btw.. u guys all free on the 10th??there's a TGIF party at Yvonne's place,go yah? it's gonna be qui
e fun..! Missing u guys already...can't wait for another outing... oh yah...i tink T & J 's a great idea... thanks Siwei and Jer...
i'm so happee tt everyone's making the effort to stay in touch,we all move on in life, but prob no one else would understand the 2 yrs in Odac we went thro...to all those going to OCS and SISPEC, all the best, i'd try my best to join u guys... hee hee...
those going to units,have fun too....in case u guys tink i'm going nuts in cdo camp, nope...i'm fine,Ü seeing everyone doing well and keeping in touch keeps me going on! Ü.... but i must admit, it's no easy task handling it, coz tonite i saw one sergea
t, in SOF, started to let all his troubles out when he got drunk... he spoke of so much stress tt he had to endure, and still maintain a brave frt....dun wanna be like tt....
in the meanwhile, i guess block leave's ending soon, all the best...the girls, take care too yah......

I'm back, from watching Heaven answering our prayers, sending dark clouds over Tekong, resulting in a CAT 1 weather decision. Anyway, I'm quite disappointed (with CO) to miss this Sat's outing. Supposed to be the largest odac outing for this block leave.
ame soppy stuff to say, glad that we spent effort to be present for the almost-daily outings, and making things happen. This week was so enjoyable (cept for the 3 days spent in camp)! Thinking of it, this may be the last chance we can do such things, cos
e ain't gonna get block leaves, and if we have, block leaves for different vocations may not coincide. Then when the uni school term starts, even less chances. Starting to get disorganised already, dunno what I'm trying to say also, but, you noe, wat i me
n. =Þ Get this Conversations going yar? We've been doing great, esp after the addition of the top "ADD" icon.

Whoa! Seems like you guys have been having fun! All the enthusiastic entries..... makes me feel envious.... Well I do miss everyone sometimes but maybe it's a bit different.... Life is so short, you don't even get to accomplish what you want and before yo
know it, you're near your deathbed. Okay, this entry sounds weird but I just wanna say that 24 hrs a day is too little. Have you ever thought of what you want in life? To be frank, the feeling I get when I'm around you people is different from last time
I'm just sharing my feelings, no trying to hint anything. Is anyone else feeling this way too? Can someone explain why I feel like this? I seem to be a drifter.

e have done in the past days... meeting one another... even getting to do something odacky like hiking...

o the J1s too much. Actually, I wanted to go there and get to know the juniors better cause I didn't expect too many from our batch to turn up. But when I saw you people today, I guess I decided that since I don't see you people much, the juniors woud hav
to wait.... Not

Anyone wants to go for Bukit Timah on Wednesday? They've got a briefing at 2:30 for the Ubin trip on Saturday and then they're leaving from school. HEard from Huiwen that they might not be going all the way to the top, but... I don't know about you but I
hink we should go all the way to the top, just like last time. I still remember that I was buddying Yvonne and that my legs were really tired when I was climbing those HUGE steps that come just before the top. Still remember that goon's bag had a HUGE spl
t in it and she was trying to hold it together with safety pins. Hee hee hee! And I think we were sort of operating a "radio station" with our crappy (and loud) conversations and I think everyone in the vicinity had no choice but to tune in. GRIN! Wow....
those were the days.... So whoever's going on Wednesday, pls call me.... I'd like to know how many are interested....

Today was like going back in time, back to jc life. It was so comfortable wearing the RJ tee and shorts and mingling among the j1s and j2s. Made me feel young again. Though I may not recognise as many faces anymore, there was such a strong sense of homeco
ing. The canteen lemon tea, odac board, past conversations, chin up bar....can't stand it. Too nice to be true. Though not many pple seem to notice us as we sung our hearts out and shook the light sticks vigorously on the 2nd floor, think i enjoyed the ca
pfire more than the j1s down there. So nice.....Reading past Conversations really brought back SOOO much memories. From how we started as a batch, thinking of how our batch will be like, to the gradual start of farewell sentiments, closing to the A levels
Everything just pops back into the mind. Want to go back there again one of these days.....RJ and Odac will always be there, and so will those memories.
The dinner today, was just a light conclusion to the day. Nothing beat the time spent in school =).

Whew! So many new entries! I'm so overwhelmed! First of all, congratulations to the guys who have finished their POP! Hope those who went to watch them enjoyed themselves! I couldn't make it for anything 'cos of my dance heats. Yeah, I'm preparing for a c
mpetition and I just got into the semifinals last night. Weikai, I can return you your CD now. Time to start hunting for the next song to use. If conversations is to keep everyone informed about our lives, then I shall just babble. I'm pursuing dance righ
now. I'm going through a 10 week iintensive course at La Salle and I dance 2.5 hours each night. I became a free lance dancer for Fire disco once but due to my course I had no time to go for their rehearsals. That's about it but it's taking up so much ti
e and I'm still working as a clerk. So I might disappear for some time. Hopefully, the next time I meet you people, my dancing would have iimproved. I really want to go for all the outings you guys were talking about but this is also my last chance to pur
ue my passion. Best wishes to those who have obtained their freedom from NS for 9 days. Enjoy your break and hope to hear from you guys soon!

theresa - 03/25/98 17:13:42
the fat comment was meant for you, jeremy, it was mercilessly intercepted by siwei's entry....=). Think we shd all go meet for lunch on sat. Can, can call.
As for next week, i think we could do both (ubin and bt timah), and if possible, all in one go. can even wash tents right after. The longer the better. Very evocative.
