Badminton no more. I feel VS sliping away..

Today was the last badminton training for the year. Its true that we never miss the water till the well runs dry. Its been what? 7 hours and I already miss training. I will still play, that is for certain, but the chance to play with fellow team members has sliped away…

Very soon, after returning from the Sec 1 orientation camp, I will feel this way again, only that the feeling will be more intense.. I type and type this blog and as I do, all that I love slips away, never to return again.

Was looking at the new faces coming in next year, so eager to get their uniforms and holding their parent’s hands unsure yet curious as to how their next 4 years in VS will be. This only added to the sense of lost I feel. I was actually feeling a little jealous as they were about to experience the best 4 years of their life but for me, those 4 years are but a memory that will stay with me.

I would give everything to experience it all again.. The joys, sorrows, victories, failures, the triumps and hardships I endured.. The list is neverending, I guess the only way to classify it is as ‘The Victorian Experience’. And what an experience it has been.

‘The Victorian Experience’ began for me in December 2000. I had missed the cut off point by 1, so I grabbed the testimonials from my P6 form teacher and Discipline Master (It helps being Head Prefect in Primary School) and attached it to my appeal form and handed it in. Lo and behold, a few days later, I got a call from Mr. Ang to come down for a ‘interview’. Before I knew it, I was a Victorian, though at that time, I thought nothing of it.

Sec 1 like was fun but rather challanging, the onset of new friends, new teachers and a new school was overwhelming. Serving as Monitor did not make my life any easier, but I stuck with it, determined to make the best out of this experience.

Sec 2 started off normally, and when I though that life could not have gotten any better, I became a trainee prefect. At that time, I was still rather blur. Come November (LTC), I finally found myself and my love for VS.

Sec 3 was tough and a very trying year, between the responsibilities I had towards badminton, the PB, LTC and the school, and also to my studies, lets juz leave it as it was a very trying year for me ya? :) But these helped me greatly to develop myself and push myself to the limits. This was the most ‘happening’ year for me. LTC, CIC, HOD Organising..

Sec 4, the finale, I didn’t really get to enjoy 2004 much as most of it was spent worrying about the Os.. And now, here I am, graduated from VS but yet not wanting to let go.

As Gary’s MSN nick puts it, Somethings DO Change. Yeah, the only thing constant in life is change, but why can’t I just stay in this moment forever? I would be the happiest man alive…
