I am sitting here in the NIE canteen alone.
People watching.
As I am looking around, there are like less than 20 souls sitting at the PE side. I recalled 4 years ago when I first came in to NIE. Full of anticipation and uncertainty about how life will be in here.4 years later today, I am leaving this place with a mixed feeling in me. Is there such thing as a love-hate relationship for your canteen.
I love.
Time spent here with my Diploma classmates. Looking at girls coming down the stairs and checking those chicks (or not) out.
The food from the canteen. With some friendly vendors I have known for almost 4 years. Some of the really classic ones for me. Mushroom minced pork noodle, Chicken Cutlet noodle with a sunny-side-up egg, Chicken Cutlet from Western Food Stall (when I was still eating meat that time la..), Kway Teow Goreng, Hokkien Mee mai hey (no prawns), and the many many fruit platters ordered and shared among the peeps.
I hate.
The mosquitoes and houseflies during certain seasons when they irritate the hell out of u.
The "invaders" from the non PE side (Oops.. No offence to anyone..)
I am going to miss this place.
