Had a class gathering with MS0902 at Fort Canning Park today.

I told Jon that I had never been there before in my whole life.

It was a lie I didn’t realized until the class reached our intended destination in the form of a shelter.

Along a path leading to the shelter, I could catch a glimpse of a familiar sight on my left. Taking a closer look, I realized it was the National Museum of Singapore. The reason why I remember this building well is because of its structure. It may look small but there’s more than meets the eye. Oh god, that sounded cheesy but it’s true. On the outside, the building may look ordinary but there are a lot of unexpected pleasant surprises.

It was 1 year ago when I came to this museum with my sec4 class for a class excursion. Apparently, it was part of our character development module that we have to complete and there happened to be an educational play going on at that museum.

The Museum appealed a lot to me. Mainly, because I’m an “art” kind of guy and the place had a few interesting facilities. The vibe it gives me makes me feel at peace with myself and able to come to terms about myself. It also depicts a part of personality because of its peaceful and classy environment. I’m like an unassuming, young man who has this aura of quiet confidence within him.

What made this experience at the museum even more memorable are the friends that came along. It was great to be in their presence as it was the last excursion trip we’re going as a class.

Of course there were moments when I felt that I had nothing to account for my sec4 classmates. People disliked each other and backstabbing sometimes happened. I wasn’t in the conflicts but I had to watch my back. Because of it, I became a paranoid android who had to be aware of my actions because I didn’t want to offend people accidentally.

But all that seemed to change when I entered Nanyang Polytechnic. All I can say about this class is about the friendliness and warmth they offer to each other. It quite makes me feel at home. It’s almost one month and we’re like close to each other.

After taking a trip down memory lane, it was time to get back to reality and back to the present.

Class gathering was awesome, by the way.
