I just came over to post after viewing Nich Khaw's blog, my eyes hurt because of the colour contrast.. suddenly all white after a sea of orange among the black.
To start off, I went to school as per normal to AJC. We started off by dancing... cause its ACES (All Children Exercise Simultaneously) Day. When my primary sch cousin got to know of this, he exclaimed in wonder that "You all still have ACES day ah? I thought for pri sch only."
Lol, this reminds me of last yr's ACES day - a complete failure - where only a negligible minority danced... and this year the situation is a little better..
After the boring stuff, here comes the ... less boring stuff...
The celebrations.
At the hall.
First up we have a performance by 3 guys, 1 of them is from my class, 1 of them is from my Orientation Group and the last guy is from... I dont know him.
They sang the song "听老师的话", which is an edited version of "听妈妈的话" by the best singer on Earth, Jay Chou. No, there are no sweeping statements at all here, everything here are the facts.
The lyrics were not bad.
Then come several performances, etc etc, and the last part was the dance category. A group of random people started dancing and then come De Imprea (the winner of dance category for AJ Idol) and then another group of randomers.
Finally it was over. Cards were written during the performances btw. So its time to distribute them. Strangely, they wanted to give PE teachers too.. so, Yian, Binghui and I went to the PE Dept to hand the card over to Mr. Tay, who looked stunned to receive the card.
Then, we gave the card to our GP tutor, Mrs Chng. There, we met Darren, who was giving his self-baked cupcakes to the teachers, including Mrs Chng. She was very impressed with Darren for the self-baked-cupcakes-that-made-him-sleep-at-5am. How thoughtful of him, Mrs Chng seemed to say/imply. When taking photo, Darren helped us took the class photo, and he asked Yian to stand closer. Mrs Chng immediately added that yian is Mr. Untidy (due to his infamous handwriting, an art piece worthy of the museum)
Then I ran off to join my friends to return back to Xinmin.
We went to find the teachers (obviously). We started off with bumping into Mr. Tan Boon Hai (my History teacher who relieved Mr. Pah when he went to the States). He was a great teacher too, that time he was a trainee teacher with a meagre pay, yet he still chose to treat the whole History class to Burger King. That time, we were still grumbling about how that would have been impossible with our then E Maths Teacher (we nicknamed him Mr Utterly Hopeless).
Mr Tan seemed to forget our names.. he took a few moments to start recalling Darren, then Desmond and he pointed to me. Stop. Think. Think. Think (Jimmy Neutron makes a special appearance here.) Luckily he remembered Nicholas. And so on.
Next we met Mr Pah, another awesome history teacher. He is still proud of my class, and he called us "Heroes who have made 100% A1 in Pure History."
Next, we went to see our E/A Maths Teacher, Ms Yeo. Ms Yeo claimed that she is getting old, her memory is failing her. Need I say more about it?
So, Darren re-introduced us one-by-one, and refreshed her memory.
Oh, we were, at that instance, looking at a class sitting at the parade square (getting punished for dont know what reason. Under the hot sun... It must be... animal cruelty)
Then we went to see our sec 3 physics teacher, Mr. Chan, and we chatted for awhile. It was then we come to know that our sec 4 physics teacher, Ms Tan, had went to Pei Hwa Sec Sch.. HEY! Isn't that my sister's school? I got to ask her when I get back, I thought.
Then we went to see our form teacher -aka- chemistry teacher, Mr Chew.
Nich Khaw (nk) and I then decided to tour the school to relieve some memories.
We went to our sec 4 classroom.. and that made me think of the "402 Blockade" that we built at that time. haha. It looks like this (see below):
Isn't that a great fortified defense? haha, good old memories that time.
Then we went to check out our sec 3 classroom.
The good old spray paint at the back of the class was gone... the bright pink colour was gone... it was repainted and it became 409 classroom.
Oh, and we realised that alot of the teachers received promotions. Mr. Wong, my elective geog teacher, has become the HOD of Humanities. Mr. Tang, my Chinese teacher, had become the HOD of Mother Tongue. etc
And then we went to the canteen. Nk, Desmond and I tried out Darren's self-made-cupcakes (which he deemed unpresentable to teachers anymore). It was nice, really.
As time passes, we went out to Hougang Point (not mall, not plaza) for lunch, with Ms Yeo and Mr Chew.
And so we had lunch at the Kopitiam. Mr Chew then treated us desserts. Then we went on separate ways.
I went home with Desmond. Took 161... its been long since I last took this bus... memories after memories...
Reached the bus stop and I, for once, dont mind walking the long stretch of road home. It just brings back more memories.
And then I went home and rested.
At around 6.30, I called Binghui (bh) and I went out to meet him. Then we went to the bus stop to wait for the arrival of Yian and Jacquelyn (jac). Apparently, they alighted at the wrong stop (1 stop earlier I think). So we walked and we met halfway. Yian is still living in denial, he still refuses to believe that trees are all around him in Sengkang and Sengkang is NOT A DESERT.
We went to bh's house to deposit our bags before heading to Rivervale Mall to eat dinner. We went for braised duck rice ($3 each). We then went back to his house, sit around, chat awhile then we studied over the night. I shall avoid all education details to avoid boredom.
And his dog is really crazy, his dog enjoys running round and round and round and round till the cows come home...
It seldom barks too.
The only thing I dislike about it is its licking... the dog licked my finger, my hand, my leg at some point, some instance, some time, some where, some how.
Let me re-enact this interesting scene.
Bh asked his mum "他 （Yi An） 像不像马来人？“
His mum replied ”他不是马来人meh?"
We studied till like 1am before going to sleep.
Jac complained about bh and yian's hand hitting her face in the middle of the night.
yian and I complained about bh's pulling and stealing of the blanket and hugging it... (I will elaborate on this later.)
And there is stiff and intense competition between yian and bh in the snoring contest.
One instance: Binghui was snoring, nothing from yian.
One instance: Yian was snoring, binghui nothing
One instance: BOTH of them were snoring, just that one is louder than the other. (It's all up to you to guess who snored louder.) [This is not rhetorical.]
Elaboration on the blanket stealing:
When I was sleeping next to bh, he stole the blanket from me as usual..
Then he woke up and realised he has been hogging the blanket... so he covered me with the blanket.
All is fine till like less than 5 minutes later.
He fell asleep and stole the blanket from me again...
And the worse thing is that he KEEPS REPEATING THIS CYCLE...
Ok, we were supposed to wake up at 3am to study... but obviously we failed to the maximum, to the infinity and beyond! Alarm clocks (or should I say phone alarms) ring and ring, one after another, from diff phones.. only to be snoozed by us LOL. And we didnt wake up after cancelling the alarm.
So we ended up waking at 8am. We then headed to Long John Silvers to eat breakfast. I ordered Double Turkey Bacon - which was nice, really nice. And it comes with a hashbrown :) and a drink (which I changed to Iced Milo). It's long since I drank iced milo...
After the meal, we went back to bh house to stone, sleep, watch tv, etc and headed home at 1.30pm.
I went home to watch TV awhile before sleeping till around 6. Went out with family to Suntec City via MRT.
Went to the Comex. Haiz, people mountain, people sea, water no entry. [to be read in Chinese]
Went home after that via Mrt... it was crowded.. but not that bad as compared to the EastWest and NorthSouth lines.
And thats about it. Prelims coming... damn sian... maybe no time to post in between...
