sec three
As i turned my head around to watch the news-depicted winter olympics, my memories were brought back to sec 3, when xianyi was crippled cos of a stunt he did during the hockey match. He tried to show off braking at full speed by jamming his heel sideways, but his body momentum was just too fast. So, he ended off crippled, spending his time in the hospital office watching the winter olympics while we are watching the snow-white marker-stained board in our classes.
Brings back to memories the times of sec 3, where there are no worries at all. It makes me feel like a kid living school life with the abandonment of a toddler in the playground. The only difference is that I know how to prevent injury. It was like a free hang-out session after school, bumming around in school, going for sessions, bboy, bboy, bboy. Edmund would come my class in between lessons to break. We would 'study' in the library as Edmund is some lian magnet. Also discussing about Cheuk Ho and his 3000-ampere-electromagnet exploits. Going jurong for lunch and would always eat chinese dumplings. One or two random events popping out in the middle making experiences more interesting.
Amongst the most significant events was Edmund falling on his face, which sucks to the maxmaxmax. It was a time we came together as a crew, the new-formed kyensai generation of friends. And of course, another significant event was the formation of kyensai on 15th Feb. The name had always meant something. Even if we stopped bboying for a while, even if we cut down on practice so damn much, even though I hadn't bboyed properly for half a year, even though we hadn't met up as much, the name and mention of 'Kyensai' still stirs something within me. They are the group of friends who I always have and never will I have to worry about solitarism through testing, grinding times.
So much to recount in this one year, though the hopes and possibility of ever living it were so hermetically sealed, lights and sounds from the year's joy and laughter, tears and sorrow still pervades.
