Mundane event yet a formal and significant one. Rene Low's speech though not exceedingly interesting but it certainly made one think back of the past one year or so. Still remembered how idiotic I felt, cursing myself for doing badly and ended up in YJ and not AJ or NY where most of my friends went.
Still remembered how anti I was during the 1st few weeks before I stepped into P24. Thank goodness for Jing Wen whom I seemed to talk endlessly with. I cant imagine the relief I felt when I saw Meena in the class and later on Amirah. I still can vividly remember how Jolynn made me vomit blood in lessons (even now, though it is following a Possion distribution already =D ) Also, thanks to her, we manage to get the wonderful Yang Thong in the class.
The 1st CVD I had was a pretty significant one, thanks to the treasurer who slacked in the audi, I had to take charge. Not much profit earned (nor do we cared) but the spirit was there. A year after that, we did the same trick, only this time round, we earned $500 and a treat by Mrs Sim.
Ah, teachers. What could we do without them. From the kind and gentle lao shi (Mrs Ang) we had a law by law Mrs Sim. We pretty much hated her in the first few weeks, the ice was broken though by Jia Hui's imitation of her "HUH!" sound. From an ultra stiff and at times lame Mr Ang, we had a unpredicatable Ms Lim due to her constant moodswing and the mellow songwriter Mr Seow. Mr David was still the slacker GP teacher, but it was fun suaning him. Mr Sim ah... always smiling though we weren't exactly up to the mark in Math.
The pictures taken were not sufficient. In fact pictures in general are not sufficent to enclosed all these days in the memory box. Time indeed flew. One moment I was wishing that this horrible A's will come and end, and at the next moment I really hoped time will stop for us.
It was really hard to choke back the emotion welling up though I succeeded. I could not understand why some of my friends bid a hasty goodbye and just left, as if all that did not just happen. We stayed as long as possible, joking and crapping with our few STs and for the n-th time I suaned about Ms Lim's height again wahahahas. Ironically, it was the teachers who presented us with well-wishes. Next year will be my time to really show my gratitude.
There is a star in you - apple given by Mrs Sim
Precious moment chopsticks -from Ms Lim. I still dont get it... what? For me to cha on my hair? Hmmm...
My black bookThose might seem like cheap and insignificant stuff but it meant a lot, especially the well-wishes written in the black book.
Thinkin back... I was wondering whether will it be the times I missed or was it the apprehension that I felt for the future. Its hard to put this into words since words aren't exactly my talent. Till now I still can't get the answer. Will I missed my friends and the teachers ? Or what I truly missed is youth itself ?
