Better post before Kinchun claims his turn.

Everytime I visit the perc blog I can't help but pause at the namelist (aka memory wall). Can't help it, time flies. Seniors come and go, and leave a part of their spirit behind for us. Can't help but to reflect on the past, the experiences, the fun times, the lessons.

Oh, the lessons.

Brian once talked about drumstick physics. According to Newton's 3rd law, for every action there is an equal and opposite action. "Action reaction" as we call it. And I believe I learnt that from band. Preparing so hard for a concert, and getting the audience's support back in return. We were featured in RInspire... twice!! It shows something.

Action reaction occurs during Investiture too. Sec 1s come in (action), Sec 4s go out (reaction). Some argue it's the other way round, but there's a reason why it's called Investiture and not Farewell. Either way, it's saddd. As Jerald said once, we cannot afford to get all worked up and emotional like last year.

I vouched to do the same, but it gets harder to do so as Investiture nears. It's so hard to take it, especially since we're going to lose the numbers, the talent and most importantly the bonds we've forged.

Yes, the numbers are dwindling. Before you know it...

...and then there were two.
