I'm home!! wheeee. Mind you, it's thursday night!! Or fri morn rather. I can NEVER emphasize enough just how much I love my home!! lalalalaaaaa. Although this means exams are just round the corner. In fact in less than 2 weeks time, to be precise. HOW!!
Me and huns have concluded that when we're busy with our work, we are NEVER going to ask yiing what she's doing. Cos she's always slacking!! no no, in her words, she's de-stressing. Tuesday go swimming and JP for dinner, wed go watch movie, still not enough. I met her at crystal jade this afternoon! And she was going KTV after that la!! *faint* And don't ask me what I was doing there ok, I was just there for lunch before going home, not SLACKING hor hahahaha =D.
Look at
this and
this! Boingboing's fun.
Super long and whiny reminiscing post ahead. It's boring if you dunno what I'm talking about, so you've been warned!!
It's vv and nini's bdae these 2 days, and I suddenly really miss them alot.
I miss those days back in sn. Things were never so complicated or fake, and I felt safe. When friends said 'I'll be there for you' and you know they meant it. When gossiping about others was really for silly fun, not with heavy evil intentions attached. Where taking a leisurely walk around school usually meant 'let's have a heart-to-heart talk, girlfriend'. Where walking down the canteen to find a table easily took more than 10min cos you'll be waving 'hi' no less than 5 times, and stopping at least once for
social updating.
I'd reach school by 0655 through avenue2, my dad having dropped my bro off at cat high before dropping me at sch. I'd walk by the
sunken forum, no, now it's just the
forum, pass the D&T room and say hi to mr ng if he was there, then up the stairs beside the pe dept. Crossing from the new extension block (it was forever called new extension) to the school block through the level with jinx's 3hope aircon classroom. Climbing up all the way to the highest floor to reach the sec4 level and to my classroom right beside the toilet. The one with the super nice, make-everyone-look-slim mirror that some other class koped for a day before we koped it back haha. Miss hipx hopx peiyi would without fail be tying her hair in front of that mirror and when I entered the classroom everyone would be so hardworking. Diligently copying homework. And hoping that it would rain so we wouldn't have to scuttle down for morning assembly. Oh and I rmb there would be music playing through the PA system, wasn't there? And sometimes we found it irritating especially when we were trying to catch some sleep. But it was special.
Monday assemblys usually meant eating into the next period, and if
xiao4 zhang3 was in the mood that day, we all had to dance every single dance there was, and I rmb once it dragged all the way until recess time. Family dance, mass dance, primary calistanics, and every single line dance. We used to complain and whine while dancing, but now that we have all graduated, we get excited doing it together when we meet fellow sn pple. Especially the family dance. That sense of identity and belonging to a school is something I doubt others can ever understand. It was pretty fun, wasn't it, and the teachers would get a headache about thinking how to catch up with the syllabus due to so many missed lessons. And the assembly would be dragged even longer with the never-ending announcements haha.
The balcony was usually occupied by whoever was feeling down that day and wanted to have some alone-time with their bestie. And it was messy cos of files spilling out of the blue and yellow lockers who nobody bothered to pack till exam time came. But the balcony meant alot to me. Especially the balcony of my sec3 class. I won't forget the not-so-platonic erm talks, heh.
Morning PEs were fun, with the volleyball PE elective that I took and -wad was his namE?? The short male pe teacher tt nini and I forever laughed at. OHOH!! Mr phee? fee? or sth. hahaha. There was one lesson I happened to be standing beside him, and nini couldnt stop laughing cos he was shorter than me!! Oops. =x hahah. And we were at the age where....... let's just say curiousity and general knowledge met at a crossroad, and with further
teachings from my bro, I'm surprised we survived PE without getting scolded at all, considering we weren't exactly speaking very softly and he probably heard every single thing we said!! HAHAHAHA
Recess time meant gerie getting all hyped up and ready to dash to the canteen for orange bowl. Remember the super obvious-yet-cannot-do-anything-about-it bulge in our pinafore pockets that the prefects had to pretend to overlook? Then for a while the school decided to allow eating in class and gerie walked, no no, sashayed her way out of the canteen past the prefects with her tupperware in tow. HAHA.
Most of the time, recess was taken up for meetings and I rmb being glad that my dear president was from my class and we could have mini meetings in class without having to take up too much precious free time. Then it would be a mad rush to reach back to class before the bell rang, especially if it was maths period after that.
Maths was hilarious, once we got used to Mrs Soh's language and teaching. She'd 'throw us down to test for gravity' if we failed a test, or kenna scolded 'your eyes got parallax error ' if we didn't copy correctly. If we didn't have the blackboard wiped clean for her by the time her lesson started, she'd just write over the old writings and we'd see a mess of chalk. And if anyone came back late from recess she'd make the latecomer sit on the floor at the door throughout the lesson. And you can't complain that you can't see if not you die. hahahahah. Ah, my huns knows, she kenna many times. HAHA.
And when lessons ended, we'd all hang around school still just for the heck of it. Gossiping, finding friends, walking around, just basically whiling the time away. Till the late evenings. But it was so fun. And I had vv to go back with me on the long 76 trip home after that. We would gossip till we were tired, and fall asleep after that. I'd always wake up just in time to alight (i dunno why so qiao, but i NEVER missed my stop), and I would wake v up to say goodbye to her.
Ahh, those times.
What a freaking long post. I'm being irritatingly nostalgic these days. blablablaaaa. I shall take comfort in the fact that v's goin to force us to have a girly sleepover at her newly renovated house this hols. Just the 4 of us.
Happy 20th my two dearies. I really miss y'all.
