The best things in life are free. #tripdowmemorylane



WELCOME TO THE FIRST POST OF #TRIPDOWNMEMORYLANE!!
*fireworks*
Haha! Looking through all these photos, they never fail to put a smile on my face, and sometimes even a tear down my eye.
#tripdownmemorylane is a new category in this blog that aims to store all forms of happy memories i had throughout my entire life!
Let's get started!!
Thank god for blessing me with such an amazing group of people.

Meet my clique.
All of us met in Secondary 1, when we were still young and pure. We shared the same CCA, Dragonboat, and that was where we bonded. Since secondary 1, we were quite the problematic class. Humiliating and even chasing away some of the new trainee teachers, it made secondary school so damn fun!
This is the main group of people by the way, some of them are missing because the photo above only includes the dragonboaters!
I really miss the days when we had to walk along Jurong lake after school to get to Water Venture where we would begin our training. Every single time we approach the entrance, there will always be that one guy who would shout 'EH TUCK IN! TUCK IN!' and everyone would quickly tuck in their PE shirts, for nobody wants to get punished!
After training, everyone would rush to the nearby ice cream seller for ice cream and drinks.
The last 2 dragonboat competitions were two of the most emotional moments in my life. It was the last year to participate in the regatta for us, for we were graduating. For the 1st race, the ladies clinched 1st while we clinched 2nd! It was THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES! We went in with hopes of clinching 3rd for the guys and 1st for the ladies, and we DESTROYED our objectives! Our faces were all filled with smiles and happiness for the whole day, even going to sleep smiling haha :x
However, the 2nd regatta went downhill. We (the guys) came in last out of 4 boats. This time, we came on to shore, stood in a circle, and cried. Yes, almost all of us cried. Our faces were dripping with tears as we listened to our coach and teachers consoling us. Every year, if we were to lose, our seniors would always say 'remember this taste of defeat, train hard, and come back to win'. Finally, it was our turn to say that to our juniors.
We went back to school sobbing, we expected a medal from this regatta, especially after winning silver from the previous regatta 2 weeks ago from there. Nonetheless, it was a memorable 4 years rowing together!
After the disappointing race, we went out at night to celebrate 'graduating' from dragonboat! 
Celebrating 4 years of friendship and brotherhood.

We went out to orchard for Kiseki japanese buffet!!
Kiseki!!

'Let's eat our sorrows away!'
After all the food and games, we went down to take lots of photos together! xD
 
The 3 sumos.
Faces of pure happiness.

When its fun to block us :D
Ladiesman 4 da nite huehue #wtf #yolo
The gang

1 year later, i came across the very same statue in orchard that we had one of the best memories in our lives.

Taken from my previous post, this is why this statue brings back memories. 

Wishing all of us a lifelong friendship and brotherhood!
We shall create even more memories together!
