Got my title from a song I randomly started humming to myself today.
Turned out to be some really ooooooold song, Why Not by Hilary Duff.
Goes something like this:
Why not take a crazy chance?
Why not do a crazy dance?
If you lose a moment, you might lose a lot...
So, why not? Why not?

Term 4 Week 10 began today and I made a promise to myself to (try and) blog every single day. I know some people really dread this week, with all the last minute chinese overload and crap, but to me, it's probably a week to remember. I just wish the end doesn't come to fast, though we all see it approach us as fast a ever. So yeah, I thought that I might as well face it with positivity :) After all, it's not a permanent finish line but a... I don't really know what it is...
Am so glad that my week started out with opomou (wow first time I used this term on my blog) and CCA. Denise gave us lemon-flavoured sponge cake which was damn good, seriously. The love of juniors. The rest of the day went by fine I guess, with ineffective chinese lessons in between because Zhang Laoshi wanted to (direct translation from chinese) "melt" in the comp lab. Important event was SA and overall marks checking?
Ah well, I'm already super extra pleased with my marks this time round. Am happy that I proved to myself that my good grades in the past were not always based on "luck", which I forced myself to believe so that I'd never become a cocky banana. I may not have gotten msg 1.00 but who cares, I never expected it and I don't really want to. It's just not who I am.
Another interesting incident, Rach and I went library to cool our sweat (ahem) after the stuffy chinese lesson in the com lab and turns out she left her pencil case in the lab. So we climbed back 2 storeys and when we stepped into the com lab, turns our I left my MD JACKET THERE TOO OH THE HORRORS OF LOSING MY JACKET.
And this reminds me of how much my MD jack has been through with me ever since the end of sec 1... SYFs, I.D., countless lessons, my makeshift pillow when I fall asleep in bio (oops), freezing bus rides and of course EOYs in the hall. I love my jacket :)
Watched The Big Bang Theory in class before CCA, even Mrs. Tan was laughing though it was kinda awkward with Zhang Laoshi there due to all the sexual references... Watching BBT with 402 will definitely be something I will miss!!!! Nerds unite!!!! (okay, not exactly)
CCA was as homely, as comfortable, as satisfying as usual. Seriously, NYMD, no matter where or when gives with the greatest sense of belonging and acceptance.
We did a new floor routine and a spinning set that was short and sweet. I like how Laoshi's always soooooo innovative and we never know what to expect from her, really. Old yy's 3-count set and across the floor routine that was so whoosh and fun.
To be honest, I never really feel like I've really really REALLY left NYMD. Perhaps due to fact that I've been going back to CCA so often, or perhaps being part of NYMD is imprinted in me and takes time to remove...? But I'm sure more things, happy or sad things, will all start to hit me when Friday comes.
So that was my Day 1 of "the week we all graduate". Hopefully when Day 5 arrives, I'll look back on the past five days and see that I'm left with no regrets.
Still wondering if I should write farewell cards... but to whom...?

Sometimes, I seriously wonder how time passed so fast, as cliche as it sounds. It's so surreal. I could just sit there and ask myself, did I really go through 2 SYFs, did I.D. really happen, did OBS really happen, did I really experience Graces? The list could go on and it never fails to leave be baffled, over how all those events and memories were squeezed into a period of 4 years that seem to feel like barely a year now. Lying on the dance floor during cool down today after CCA with my eyes closed, for the first time, I was so sure that I've never felt such a great sense of reluctance before.
Why not take a crazy chance?
