Today was the first day of flag football class. It’s really quite interesting; I've always loved watching American football. Even in movies like The Longest Yard, The Game Plan and The Gridiron Gang, the game seemed really exhilarating. Can’t wait for the next class, Jeanette can't catch the ball to save her life though, not really her game but she’s getting the hang of it. Well I can’t say much cause she’ll trash me in tennis.

Monday is Deepavali and it’s a public holiday. That means we can have a late Sunday. This means we can club! The usual clubbing kakis already decided where to go, the usual. I think there’s going to be a whole big group of us.
You know how when you stay out late and you have early class the next day; it kinda sucks, knowing you can’t sleep much or have any sleep at all. So Monday for a public holiday, is absolutely perfect.
.
But I think I have quite an amount of work to complete by Sunday. Guess I’d just have to finish everything as fast as I can.

This is Jonathan.

I’m catching up with Jonathan now. He just came back from Canada and New York recently. I knew him since we were kids (well I won’t say we aren’t kids anymore but anyway), since back in primary school. During his secondary school life, he kinda took a turn. From express, to normal acad, to normal tech. He got into a lot of trouble with the school, mixed with bad company and it just went on, from bad to worst. He went on to ITE, dropped out, and went on to private, dropped out. Things seemed kinda bleak. I didn’t know what to do or how to put it to him, was damn worried.
.
But after he came back from the states, he seemed different. He changed his hair-do, stopped hanging out at shopping centres with pseudo-ahbengs and goes on his daily activities alone now, so that he can think, though he said that he’d prefer if I hung out with him. Currently, he’s studying hairstyling at some school which had weird days, Tuesday to Sunday, Mondays off. He’s really more mature with this thinking and mindset. I felt damn happy for him, like a warm fuzzy feeling. But then he said…

To be brutally honest, when he leaves, it’ll be as though an old, close friend just died.
But I’d dare say this,
I always knew you were an awesome kid and
that somehow, you'd make it.
