cant help..wake up this morning and looking back again those schooling photos, the emotion like a roller coaster...

the upper photo was taken after our intensive training for Penang Regional Dragon Boat tournament at school level.

quite a number of us are not good in swimming or not at all..and there was one time sudden struck by strong winds and storms while we were in the middle of the sea..guess what, we didnt have enough life jackets.. at times the boat almost capsize when struck by the strong high waves. haha well, we survived! but after such event, am connected closer to few of those who were next to me on the boat..

we have all kind of body shape instead of all muscular like other teams from other schools. somehow miracle happen, and we won! haha remember in the middle of the half way race, we all were like desperate and we really crazily all out for once and for all..guess we were the only one without proper rowing rhym.eveyone just row on their best effort...

and most of the dragon boat members also scouting mates for years.

this was taken when we won the district marching competition. it was very tough competition. we trained together days and nights. during the training, arguments, laughters, desperation...missing them so much.

from around 30 member gang during high school, became around 11 member gang in 6th form. leaving one by one to study oversea or working...

chopped the bamboo for campfire preparation..

we would played basketball together after any scouting event on saturday afternoon. can you imagine more than 20 people separate into two teams playing in one court, fight for one ball haha now you can imagine why a lot of complains and shouting around when scratch or hit by others. this photo was taken during the time few of us staying together renting an apartment unit nearby to our school before four of them leave to Russia for medical study.

quite often, the scouting gang would bbq late night at the beach behind penang Shangrila Hotel. usually start at 10 pm, end around midnight, then we would play volley ball at the beach in the dark. at times when we sang or talked too loud, the hotel security guards would came out and warn us haha

that day, few of us take the risk of being dispilinary punishment for being very late to school, we went to airport for Kok Xian, Ying Zhuang, ah Ben and Chow Siong leave to Russia to study. we were spending months staying together under the same roof...again, all those fun moments, arguments over washing toilets, mop the floor, kitchen...who stole the foods, compete and helping with each other in study till late night, hiking together at 2am early morning after finish studied to watch sunrise on penang hill.....thank you very much my friends, lets hope we will meet again when we all finish our study then.

then, the pain of losing these friends compensate by my 6th form classmates...

organized trip to Maxwell hill for our insectarium project. its a beautiful place with nice cold weather. we have some great time there. still remember, at night, we would switch off all the lights in and around the house, and then we played polis-and-thief in the darkness. hahaha sigh..

or we would try our best to celebrate everyone's birthday. usually, we would celebrate at ah Kong condo where swimming pool is next to the bbq ground.

with two of our teachers invited, usually almost full attendance for any event..

and so the birthday cake gone haha but hey, we have some great time! hehe then we would jump into the pool

and came the security guard - the residents complaint for our noisiness hahaha
