ri boys

so i here i was, linking one blog to another while surfing for coke memorabilia and thai fhm, and chanced upon this article on loh wee lee, my track senior in RI who just received an accolade from cornell for being one of the top 1% of his graduating cohort, and he chose to honour his secondary sch lit teacher for that..proud of him..it's amazing how many of my seniors have been so inspiring and really make it big, wherever they are. it's even more amazing when u suddenly realise that they've been running beside you for a couple of years, and now they are one of them up there. kevin siew, weelee, shiming..just a few of those who are oredi there..and i have no doubts one of them's gonna be a future prime minister..it'll be funny to think in the future that that man who makes all the country's decisions actually ran beside you, churning sweat and hot breath now your neck for some years back then..and u've experienced the best of their clowness..that's really ultimate man.

and then, there are the bad apples. a few days before weelee's achievements were published, chua cheng zhan was blasted for racist remarks on his blog..a former RI and HCJC boy, he went on a psc scholarship to study at northwestern..the sunday times published a 3/4 page article on that, complete with his self portrait..i knew him at RI as this dam shy and softspoken guy...and i know everybody has their own share of racism, some even racist against their own races..ahhaa..but den again, i think its just plain unlucky that he got caught for that..

ri boys just never cease to amaze.
