Those were the days...

Last evening I accompanied Nick to his new school in Jalan Raja to pay some payment for new term... He is studying in Curtin and they have a new premise. First time I been to this new premise.... As I was waiting for him in the car, I saw students rushing for class at about 7pm... thoughts of memories flood back....

Back then, my class was at orchard far east plaza... the lift is damm wulu... hahaha... classroom small small and class start at 7 end at 10...hmmm... still rem how we used to frequent BK for dinner just before class... and me and joey sharing a cab back after class! The class size is not big.. students's age range from 20 to 30+... back then I was the youngest in class...hahhahaha.... we have classmate who are working, doing NS, etc... I still recall that we kinda dun believe wat Andrew said when he told us he was doing police service! Hahahah...As me, joey and kelvin come from the same poly... we have each other accompany in class....Coincidently we have a classmate whom is from our neighbour course in poly... we used to attend the same lecturer in poly and we all recognised him from his "outstanding" dressing! Still recall when we saw him in our first lesson we were like "HUH! its him ar" :P

I still rem we have a lot of different lecturers which I already cant rem them...got some boring ones as usual, some sisi one.... the most impressive one is none other but the famous Mohammad! The fat fat Mohammad in his tiny scooter and John always curse and swear that the scooter is going to fall apart very soon! Why we dislike him so much??? Because he "bo standard"! Hahahaha... anyhow mark our assignment and he is very "ti koh" one... I guess the guys in the class cant stand him, cos he never "treated" them well... hahahha.... Cant really recall wat we learn in class... only rem that it was the first time we heard of the term "referrencing" hahaha... now the it does help Nick, cos I am the one who help him with his "referrencing" in assignment!

Back then we do not have to sit for exam...so its always assignment and assignment... still rem the days we all bunk at Joey place just to burn the stupid application into Mac format.... there is only one mac machine from a classmate then all gather to create that stupid Mac format... till as late as 3 am... still rem driving home alone in my father mini bus along SLE at 3am... hahaha why I can rem? cos I was speeding cos too sleepy liao...and now think of it... scary!

Nothing beats the memories we had in Perth! It was the year of 911... I still recalled that our flight is on 922... alot of rumous that there will be bomb and stuff on 922... I guess we are too young and dangerous to worry that much... I still rem the lousy plane we had... and the stupid delay we had at SG airport... Andrew was damm late for flight but due to the flight delay we were loitering at SG airport.... We reached Perth midnight and it was freezing cold.... The apartment we stayed was at some Wulu pandan place... Recently Nick just went for his Perth trip... He said the new place they stay was good, nearby got store and most importantly beer are easy to buy! Hmmm... back then we like not so beer siao...

I still rem 5 to an apartment... me and joey share 1 room with attached bath room... first time we get to use a clothes dryer! Hahaha... In the bath room got a jacuzzi... both of us locked ourself in our bedroom to enjoy the jacuzzi... when John get to know abt it, he is curious how we use the jaccuzzi cos we din have swim suit with us... when we said we use towel lar... his mind ran wild....
John, Jimmy, Kelvin and Tong Chang shared another apartment.... I still recall the joke of how 1 guy leopard crawl to another guy room... hmmm if my memory dun fail me, Jimmy is the one leopard crawling!

We attended stupid lessons at Uni, do stupid project... the fun part is shopping for food in the super duper big supermarket place and cooking our meal in the apartment... of course dun expect the guy to cook. We all bunked in at the ladies apartment for meal...hahhaa...I still remember we rented a car and there were only 5 ladies with about 6 or 7 guys... but none of the guys wanna share the car with us! So we end up 5 ladies driving in the white coralla... No gentleman lar..... hahha.... but must also give 2 guys the credit, Kelvin and Andrew...cos they are constantly taking care and looking out for our safety.... hahhahaha

Still recalled there was once we were late for the bus back to our apartment we wanted to pay the driver extra to bring us back and she refused saying she already knocked off...it was only 5 plus in the evening... so the whole lot of us try to make our way back by taking public transport... john got "arrow" by a little ang mo boy who threw paper ball at him! why only John??? perhap... he looked too cocky liao...Hahaha... we droped at the wrong station and walked a big round along the swan lake and finally back to the apartment.

From this trip we had a common Joker... that is emily! cos her topics mostly "unsensored" and the guys kinda feeling er sin... the best was... she fart openly and none wanted to sit near her!!! Hahahahhaha.... some of us extended our stay and John had to go back to SG urgently so left Jimmy the only guy with 5 ladies... I still recall how poor jimmy is when emily wanted to sit with him on the tour bus! Hahahaha.... we even caught emily "eyeing" on him while he was sleeping in the bus! :P But Jimmy is heng de...cos he shared room with me and joey... we dun have "other" motive on him... imagine if he was in the same room as emily instead.......hahahhahahhahah.... imagination run wild.... :P

The only thing I gained from the trip was the title of "zhu Sheng" (Pig God) all thanks to Mr. Kelvin Ho... we were at a chinese resturant in Perth... so glad to find chinese food... and when ask wat to order I shouted Pork! Kelvin immediately do that handsign and said cos I am "Zhu Sheng"! That's it.... the name stayed with me till now.... but I guess the only one who is still using this term is Uncle John... Please erase this term from your memories K..... thou I still like pork now... :P
All these are ages like about 7 to 8 years ago.... hahhaha... many of the guys are already father of 2.... The gals I guess most are married.... wonder wat happen to Mohammad and his tiny scooter...hahhaa... Still rem the days we used to have gathering at orchard wisma foodcourt after we graduated.... hahhahaha.... Hope you guys are doing well in life and happy memories!
