these are a few of my favourite things

emo.

shall jot down little things/memories of kr before i move out of this place for good in 24days time.

1 item a day:

.

.

.

.

.

1. hearing familiar footsteps approaching my room and guessing whose.

huixian’s and weliam’s footsteps are the most distinct. i think i still remember the sound of jinxian and shaopeng’s footsteps. i always confuse janice’s and kingchan’s footsteps.

… and in 24 days time, i won’t be hearing footsteps outside my room anymore.

2. eating suppers more often than any other meals of the day.

though this is also the very reason why i’m so fat now, i think i’ll still miss eating chicken naans and pratas at hours past midnight.

… and in 23 days time, i won’t be able to eat suppers as often anymore.

3. hearing the bird chirping outside my window and knowing that it’s going to be breakfast soon.

staying up for 7am breakfast and eating breakfast with the usual breakfast kakis can be one of the most enjoyable things in hall, even when the reason for staying up whole night  was to write essays.

… and in 22 days time, i won’t be able to eat hall breakfast anymore.

4. cooking supper for more than 50 people.

deciding on the dish, going to shengxiong to buy ingredients, trying our best to keep to the budget, cooking in that ever-disgusting block kitchen, blah blah. i think i’ll even miss cleaning up after supper.

… and in 21 days time, i won’t be enjoying any of that anymore.

5. receiving little notes (and sometimes jars of cookies) from people that cares

i love leaving my door wide open when i go out only to find sweet little surprise notes on my table. not forgetting some of my favourite treats that always come along with them. and i always will remember how we always call these acts  “心动” acts.

… and in 20 days time, i won’t be receiving things like that anymore.

6. knowing if my neighbours are around just by counting the number of slippers they have outside their door.

and i think i even know which are the bathing slippers, the gai-gai shoes, and the walk-around-hall flipflops.

… and in 19 days time, i won’t be seeing those slippers anymore.

7. taking modules with hallmates and going for classes together from hall.

taking core modules alone this semester wasn’t fun at all. luckily i still have my dearest hall friends for my other modules, though i have to admit my lecture attendance has been very slack this semester.

… and in 18 days time, i won’t even be going for lectures anymore. in fact, i have already stopped going for lectures, haven’t i?

8. knowing that someone in the block will definitely have something that you need as long as you search long enough.

screwdrivers, thumbdrives, recovery cds, hole punchers, staples, contruction paper, cup noodles, biscuits, milk, formal attire, shoes, socks, belts, kneeguard, ankleguard, crutches, spare phones, spare laptops, showergel, shampoo, shaver, money, etc etc. even cockroach busters, laptop repair man, or resume-writing expert. hall has everything you need to survive.

… and in 17 days time, i won’t be enjoying these privileges anymore.

9. grocery shopping at shengxiong, or cold storage (if we feel richer that day) to fill up that little food stash or the mini fridge in the room.

yesterday when i went for grocery shopping with zikai, i kept having to restrict myself from buying too much, ’cause i know i’ll be leaving this place soon, and i only need enough food to last me for another 15 days or so.

… and in 16 days time, i won’t need to stock up on my food stash anymore.

10. hearing voices (or screams or laughter) of familiar blockmates from my room in the middle of the night when the block is too quiet (or when the person is too loud).

piong’s and 4k’s hysterical laughter. bengtatt’s and rizal’s horrible singing. alvinchong’s vulgarities. zhaozhao’s “ah boy”. just to name a few distinct ones.

… and in 15 days time, i won’t be hearing any of these anymore.

11. going out in wee hours of the morning for supper, studying, ktv, midnight movies (or other stupid stuff) without having to get my mommy’s permission.

hai.

… and in 14 days time, i know i won’t be enjoying such freedom anymore.

12. commmand rush.

year 1 i was rushing the block command presents baozhu and the rest. last year i was rushing the funny block command video shaopeng and the rest. this year, i  was rushing command finale costumes for my own command. every year it’s a different “rush” yet every year is just as memorable.

… and in13 days time, i won’t be involved in any command anymore.

13. filling up the birthday papers in the lift every month and watching my birthday paper gets filled up every january.

i love going into the lift and checking if there are any new wishes on the papers. of course, i miss staying in the lift and making it go from 1st to 7th and back again several times just to finish writing for those 100000 people that happen have birthdays in the same month.

and in 12 days time, i won’t be writing the birthday papers anymore. (and neither will i have my own birthday paper from c block anymore)

14. popping by neighbours room for..

small talks, heart to heart talks, gossips, complaints, bitching,…

… and in 11 days time, i won’t have neighbours to do that anymore.

15. making little gifts and writing post-its/postcards to people.

and seeing the delighted faces when they received them makes my day.

… and in 10 days time, i won’t have anyone to write notes for anymore.

16. visiting kingchan as often as i can and for as long as i can.

now we’re only a cement wall apart, next time we’ll be separated by so many so many expressways

… and in 9 days time, i won’t be able to disturb kingchan as and when i like it anymore.

17. eating hall dinner, especially in year one.

it was never about the food, or the hungry state of your growling stomach. it is always the company that matters the most.

… and in 8 days time, i won’t be able to eat hall dinners anymore.

18. playing chicken invaders and word challenge studying in the reading room.

though (proven by my cap) it is not very effective, i still miss the times when the reading room is converted into a mini c block lounge after 5am. things like these are what makes studying fun.

… and in 7 days time, i won’t even be studying anymore.

19. knowing that i’m never alone.

no matter if i’m happy, sad, angry, sick or injured, i know there will always be someone there for me, 24/7. and, i still miss my 四宝.

… and in 6 days time, i won’t be seeing these people everyday anymore.

.

.

.

.

and in the end,

because of my taiwan trip,

my hall stay ended prematurely with my official moveout on saturday (9may).

moving my things out for the final time was painful,

when you know that you’ll never return to that room anymore.

and shutting my door just before i left was equally painful.

but i’m glad i did not make a scene like last year when xiu and faith moved out, in fact, i did not cry a single bit.

i guess the feeling of leaving is probably not as sad as being left behind.

byebye KR.

byebye C block.

thank you for the memories.

command-ed! :(

command 0809 was a blast!

especially the finale item! i think our sexiness blew everyone off their seats!

i’m so so proud of every single dancer in the finale item and i’ll never regret being the i/c, albeit the stress and fatigue on the way.

thanks boobie for being with me through this journey despite your endless deadlines. totally enjoyed being i/cs with you! )

thank you every single fyf who made this command such a wonderful one for everyone of us.

2 years since i bid farewell to baozhu, wenhao and edwin.

a year since i cried when the mchat gang + xiu + many others left.
