I went to this 72nd Kinta Scout Troop's gathering in Yuk Choy yesterday and it brought me back.. like... WAY back.

- CCC, aka Andrew now, and Yuan Han -

- Yuan Han's friend, Sammi, Andrew -

Yuan Han knew I'm bored out of my brains so she asked me to be on of the few designated photographers there for the event, which, I found was a little redundant as digital cameras are so afordable these days and practically everyone has a phone with atleast a VGA 640x480 pixels camera built in.

apparently we all spelt it wrongly all these while...

- Interesting Things #2 -

Though I'm a deactivated Guide, it really reminded me of the times we all spent together... Girl Guide WAS my world... many moons ago.

I still love it though, parts of it... parts where hierarchy and politics are impermissible. I left because I couldn't love all of it.

Plus, it was great to meet so many old friends/rivals (coz these sorts of gatherings are where the Scouts and Guides come to battle... not to socialize/learn from each other through competitions) from Yuk Choy, Sam Tet and PGS, my alma mater ofcoz. Some of them I haven't met since I graduated from high school.. It's about TIME...

From the top Wai San, Wei Theng, Bobo,

-moi, Si Jie, Thong Thong, Nancy, Yin San, Wen Jing-

and yeaaaa, it's GREAT to see that Nancy --my exhigh schoolmate-- is going out with Jeffrey --my ex primary schoolmate-- =) LoL... I sOooOOOooOooo didn't see it coming.

Anyways, as much as I grumble about PGS being inadequate or lack thereof, I did learn a lot, growing up and out of there. Not exactly happy about all the choices I made, they were mine nonetheless... and am living with 'em now. Though it was a hard decision to make, dwelling on the 'what ifs' and 'what could've beens' will serve me no good...

In short, it's great to reminisce about the good old times, great to be there to celebrate this event with them =)
