Reminiscing talks with weiwei and ah lee have triggered a truckload of memories of how fun secondary school life/JC school life used to be. Or how fun I used to be? Haha.
Secondary 1. I hanged out with ah lee the most. We used to go to each others' house almost EVERY SINGLE WEEKDAY. She'd come over to my place and we'd..... I cannot remember what we did but we always managed to lepak from noon till like 7-8pm ish. Then I'll walk her over to the OCBC bank building place where her 2nd sis used to work at. Or I'd go over to her place and we'd watch horror films on tv. Eat lunch cooked by her mama. Or go downstairs to "hone" our netball skills with our then minimal knowledge of the sport. But most of the time...we'd just talk. Haha. Lunch would always and forever be shrooms burger and cheese fries at the now-tampines 1-but-used-to-be-some-chapalang-building-with-kfc. I even remember catching pei's bro with his gf there lor! :O
Secondary 2. We were in separate classes, I went to 2E6 instead. This was when I grew very close to weiwei. We met over...sweet and sour sauce from macs (This story very long and random). But most memorable memories would be those during rainy days. We'd use to RUN from the old tampines campus to the chapalang building! And when we stood too close to the main traffic light and the bus drove too close + fast, we'd be drenched with a minuscule tsunami of dirty long kang water. HahAhahA. And then when we reached the chapalang building, we'd go to the washroom on the second floor and attempt to dry ourselves under the single hand dryer available. I think we were allergic to umbrellas then. Haha funny thing is we'd never fall sick from these rain escapades! Amazeballz.
Secondary 3. Still same class with weiwei. But the school's at bedok campus now! We were always always ALWAYS almost late. Forever running for the 7.20 gate closing time. But the most memorable incident would be when we got caught skipping school. We were already late when we reached bedok mrt station...so we kindA decided to skip lessons for that day. BUT we couldn't hold in our anticipation for some science exam results, so we decided to creep into school during recess time instead. With the whole morning to kill, we decided to go to parkway at like..8am. Most of the shops were closed, and we just went BONKERS. We were skipping down shiny mall aisles, taking photos with our faces plastered against glass panels, and even sNeaking into those 10-min hair cut QB booths and pretending that we're hairdressers -___- But obviously in the end, we got caught by cai lao lao and were sentenced to canteen duty (aka cleaning the canteen tables after recess with dirty rags) for quite some time.
Secondary 4. Secondary 4 was drama-mama year for me man. It was break up - make up year for me and the ex boyfriend. And when we finally made up, I went into smitten/obsessed/reliant gf mode and neglected the girls which led to a (quite) hurting conversation but at least straightened things out. O's were impending and I went out studying with ger at tmart macs/201 macs most of the time. She insisted on sitting outside tmart macs on certain days cause she could catch a glimpse of some handsome guy from east spring sec. HahahahaA!
JC1. The only thing worth mentioning is that JH AND I HELD HANDS AND WALKED UP THE TPJC SIDE GATE STAIRS LIKE 4 FRIGGIN' TIMES. It was (still is) the single best accomplishment I did at tpjc. Whenever I feel like I shouldn't be exaggerating the significance of this event...I remind myself of how he looks and I'm like the mother of this year's PSLE/O's/A's top scorer - SIBEI PROUD. Maybe thats why I remain single till now. The event (read: miracle) have used up ALLL my love luck from this life, the next life, and the next next life. Haha. I was never the girl with a ton of handsome guy friends and most of my best guy friends aren't SUPER handsome either. I find extremely good looking boys very...distracting and stressful. Like there's this glass ceiling of perfection that you have to attain around them? So as to be "compatible". Okay, I digressed.
JC2. SUCKS. Haha nothing worth mentioning here lah!!!! (defensive mode). Spent a huge amount of leisure time with ger and her house (so convenient) and grew a lot closer to each other through my JC years. Many times when I was on the verge of breaking down/giving up, she was always there to put things in perspective and weigh options and show me how stupid the decision I was about to make was. But....on a happier note. We went on late night dates at Changi Airport T3 quite frequently (attempting to catch SHINee at the airport!?!? Amazed at male snsd fans with pink highlights in their hair..errRRrr... and then cre8ting C-related jokes all night at polar cafe) and I did a couple of cartwheels across the platform connecting T3 and T1/2 which resulted in ultimate embarrassment in front of some tourists. I think that was the last fun thing I did.
But of course not forgetting my beloved ~PEI~ whose house I've grew to be so comfortable with. Throughout my secondary school years and JC years, I've been to pei's place for like...a million times. Haha. It's like whenever you wanna hang out with her, it'll be "Eh pei I gng over now ok." And then she'll reply "Ok can.", and then when I step through the door, immediately turn left to the kitchen's toilet to wash my feet and then proceed out to ransack her fridge for drinks/food before going into her computer room to hang out. Her most common phrase when we were sec 1/2 was "不要推那个椅子 out of 那个 carpet. 我的爸爸不喜欢." Hahaha serious!! She was super anal bout the wheels of the chair not crossing/bordering along the carpet edges. Memories with pei consists of mainly... scoldings+h2h talks which never fail to make me more mature each time. (omg!! so wei da~~ Sob sob :'( ). Haha she's really a 大姐 that you can depend and count on man.
This was one long-assed post. Looking back, I used to be fun leh!! What happened!?!? Haha I guess I am still kinda fun now...fun with caution? I'm only fun when I'm with people I'm close to. I guess this comes along with age? Everyone grows a little caution and get their guard a little high up for fear of having to deal with the emotional setback that comes with failures. When we were young, we couldn't be bothered to do so simply because we couldn't fully comprehend the hurt. Or that our brains weren't fully developed so we cannot recall anything that happened in the morning once mid-day approaches. Haha. But with comprehension comes caution, and with caution comes guard. And with guard...well. Everyone's a little more complicated than they used to be. Does this make sense? Oh well. Am I still fun? 0.O I want to be.
