It was friday 08.08.08 - Our Pharm A's volleyball match against Pharm B.. and also the GRAND OPENING OF THE BEIJING OLYMPICS !! So anyway.. Pharm A male's match started at 8.00 with Mr. Lim Kean Ping representing B107 along with several other Mpharm peeps. The match was a spectacular + exciting + exhausting even for audience as we came out with a hundred different kinds of cheers and shouted 25 times every game... sometimes more, because we didn't know that our team did not get the point (hardly any of us know the rules of volleyball)
Finally, at 9.00pm, Pharm A emerged as the victor scoring 2-0... it was truely an amazing sight seing all my batchmates cheering so loudly. The atmosphere was almost like we won an Olympics game.
**to Mr. LKP : I told you this before, but i'll say it again.. Doesnt matter if you've played 3 games or 10 games or 100 games, one thing i know for sure, you did 1 hell of a good job out there.. and you sure made the very fact that we are B107 students something to shout and cheer about.
So... celebration of our victory didnt last too long as every1 quickly dispersed and sprint up to the student lounge to watch the Olympics (including the man of the day.. LKP) The student lounge was packed full to the brim with about 40-50 ppl (20-30 of which consist of B107s). Every1 was in amazement and awe as they watched the olympics.. which was indeed magnificent, and wat JN terms "fantabulous". (too bad she herself didnt get to watch it.. awww)
Then after a while.. the boring part of the show started where the athletes from various countries paraded. But that was when the fun part of the night begun.. somehow, we decided to start playing pool, foos and darts.. we played and shouted like drunken sailors reaching shore the whole night long and probably made the other ppl in the student lounge look at us like 'satu macam'.
It was only after a while that me and LKP decided to breath some fresh air and grab a drink coz we tabole tahan the hot and stuffy condition inside that 40 pax packed oven.
Sitting outside the lounge, i could hear them shout and scream like damn barbarians.. But from that point of view.. i noticed something...
Things aren't the same as it was 1 year ago.
A year ago, we were strangers...
Right now, i'll say this from the bottom of my heart that i truely think we've become more like 1 big family.
Looking at so many ppl gathered together sharing joy with each other just gives me a warm sense of joy i cannot explain in words.
And honestly, 1 year ago, when we were newborn babies in this new world, i never expected nor anticipated us to be like how we are right here, right now, today.
For who and how we are today, i think every1 contributed their fair share, but 2 ppl deserves the most credit : PANG TSEN and KEAN PING.
I'll sincely say that these 2 ppl have gone the extra mile to see an extra person turn up for any event. They are the people who brought 107 individuals(sorry if the digits aint right) who are strangers to one another into wat i would now call as the B107 FAMILY.. For all that and much-much more, i salute you both..
Finally, just a lil msg to all fellow B107 batchmates:
Life is a hard and difficult journey especially for all us, but to think that we're all carrying a very heavy burden on our backs, yet not forget to look around and take time to realise the little more beautiful aspects of life that make our days a little brighter, i think every1 of us has done a great job worth mentioning..
We've come a long way since the first time we've all met, so lets just finish this shit together and in 2 years to come.. lets all emerge as graduating BPharmers !!
and one fine day, not today, not tomorrow, but several years to come. We shall all be able to look back upon these days and tell the story of not just ourselves, but the people around us, and how each and every1 of them left their marks on our hearts... =)
