I woke up and I was thinking that I really miss my Secondary School life. Especially the friends that I made and all that. I think the best time was during Secondary 4? I know its the Os year but I think that year was the awesome-est. I'm going to go down memory lane today....
So Sec 1. I knew when I know my classmates it was a good choice for me to go Riverside instead of Cedar. Like half of my classmates were from my primary school. I don't really remember what happened. But I do remember the whole bunch of Woodgrove people deciding to join Modern Dance. And I'm happy to say that I didn't regret at all. I was ultra sceptical about taking up dance cuz what the hell I took Malay Dance like when I was in Primary 3? And quitted after 2/3 lessons. And there were no Malay joining Modern Dance ever. But I had my friends with me. The seniors and Ms Jenny was awesome. So yeah, I stayed.
Sec 2. I think was the time when we all started noticing guys. For me it was the seniors and the Normal Tech guys (don't ask). Then getting all excited when we see them. Then most of my friends hooking up. Okay not hooking up - getting boyfriends and all that. But at that point of time I still wasn't inclined to have all that. Like wth ogling is better. HAHA. Always hanging out in the library. Oh yeah, I remembered skipping Higher Malay during Sec 1 and going to library. In the end I quitted. Oh and I didn't even go for 3rd language (Chinese) lesson and I quitted as well. But now my Chinese is like great. HAHHAH. Don't need lessons at all. Then it was like SYF year. Just coming out and dance for like a few minutes was already good for me cuz I wasn't the best dancer. I remembered taking part in debates. And that's when I discovered that I can talk. I still love looking at my Champion and Best Speaker trophies. =) I remembered I was offered to participate in the national level I think but I prioritised my dance so debating ends there. Then we had to choose our subject combination. I remembered me, Yus and Diy choosing 3/4 (triple science) first then 3/6 (double science) second then 3/7 (combined science) third. We totally skipped 3/5 though it was the 2nd class cuz it was geography as combined humans (though I ended up taking geography. HAHA!). Looking back, if I had chosen that class I'll most probably be in that class judging from my level position. So I'm happy cuz 3/6 was awesome.
Sec 3. There were only 3 of us from the same sec 2 class. The rest ended up either in the best class (3/4) or 3/7. And there were only 3 Malays. And the other two was taking Higher Malay and since I quitted I was the only one taking Malay in that class. I remembered hating everything. The subjects I mean. I just like going Malay cuz I was the best in only that. Malay classes were just awesome cuz I aced most of it. And mind you, that was the only subject I was doing well. Started getting close to my classmates. And it was me, Fifi, Poixin, TaniaOng and Doreen together most of the time. I think it was during exams that we got closer cuz the seating arrangement was such that I was seating behind Tania and beside Poixin and Fifi was seating behind Poixin and Doreen was seating close by. I remembered my index number being 10 and it was 10 for like 4 years, that's why 10 is my favourite number. Then I remembered taking part in Public Speaking. Since I won the Sec2 debates everyone kind of pushed me to represent the class. I know I ended up talking crap and making the whole school laughed at me during the impromptu part. Oh god, what embarrassment.
Then Sec 4, I started liking Math. Both E and A though I sucked at A. I think it was because of the teacher, Mr Radha. Then I started liking Chemistry as well. And realised that once I got the hang of it I was kind of good in it. I think its because of the teacher as well. I know I still hated Physics to the core. Again, because of the teacher. Though I can't remember who are they now. HAHA. And I remembered the Math lessons where Poixin switched places so that we can sit together. And the crazy times we had. Though she was damn good in her Math so I had to actually pay attention. HAHA. And the times when the teachers was absent and everyone was so damn happy cuz it is free period. Oh and my class was crazy over daidee. That's when I learnt how to play it. Then I remembered that my class was the worst in discipline as well. And my form teacher in Sec 4 actually dreaded us when she knew that she'll be our form teacher. Oh those times. HAHA. Then THAT performance where I was roped in to be the vocalist of the band. The part where I became the vocalist was totally accidental. I knew that they were having some kind of band but I wasn't really part of it cuz I wasn't very close with the people. Then I came over when they were jamming once (OH that was after I went to see Teenage Icon. Supposedly to watch Ye Lun. Another long story). Then I was thinking that they were not bad at all. Then they were jamming in school one day. And they asked me to sing since I knew the lyrics. The music room was kinda cool that time. There was a mic and all that. They roped me in to be the vocalist when the actual vocalist decided that it was cooler to play the guitar. Then during the performance rehearsal, the people who watched was saying that I was kind of soft and they couldn't hear me over the drums and guitar. But they said that when they could hear my voice (the back part of the song where there is no instruments) my voice was good. HAHA. And I know that the principal criticize us or something like that. But we all hated the principal in the first place so we just hated her more after that. Then there was one time that we went jamming and Jacqueline couldn't make it so I was the only girl with the rest of the guys whom I am not close to at all. Oh wait, I think this was before that rehearsal. HAHA. And I know that we did awesome during that jamming session. I sounded good that time. HAHAHAHA. Self praise. LOL. On the performance day, it wasn't my best but what the heck, its over. I still have the video to haunt me. I've never been so nervous in my whole life before. Imagine singing in front of the whole school (with all my crushes watching) and the lyrics of the song was changed to fit in the National Day performance and it sounds kind of weird?! Lucky thing I didn't just die there. Oh and then it was another SYF year. I dreaded the costume as usual but it turns out good cuz we brought back the first Silver ever. And then the preparation for O Levels was...kind of fun. HAHA. I remembered the first paper was A Math so everyone was practicing that. I was doing all the 10 year series and the past year papers. It was like a nightmare. But we all studied together at Woodlands library so it was kind of fun. And it was the first time that I ate LJS breakfast which lasted me the whole day so I don't have to worry about my seat in the library. HAHA! Then I went to work at Metro after my papers. Another long story. I'll tell it if I remember. HAHA. Then getting back results. Don't ask me what I got for my L1R5/4 cuz I don't remember. I only remember my PSLE (244! HAHA). Then I cried. I think its a natural reaction for me to cry when I get back results. Everyone thought that I cried because I failed my Physics (D7) which was bullshit cuz I knew I was going to fail anyway. HAHA. I think I cried cuz I vowed to get better than my sis and I didn't. I think. HAHA. So I was contemplating to go JC or Poly and in the end I chose Poly though I didn't get in my first choice. I think that its all good now.
Woahhh I think my memory juice have all been squeezed out. Trust me, my memory is really really bad. So to remember so much really surprises to me. I can now officially say that I miss my Secondary School times. Its saddening when others say they want to go meet their friends and its their Secondary School friends whereas me, I've never even met up with them after we all go our separate ways. Fifi and Poixin went to JC and TaniaOng and Doreen is both in SP. I run into them here and there but that's about it. Oh man. Secondary School life is seriously the best. Aww I miss it so much now that I think about it. And of course my mum sometimes tell me that if I were to go Cedar, I'll probably score better and I'll probably be in JC and all that. But yeah, the memories that I have now is the best ever and I don't think I would have these kind of memories if I were to go to a girls school. >.<
Okay back to reality! I've written a whole essay. HAHA. You all can choose to read or not. I don't mind. =) I guess at least now if I were to forget some stuffs I can go back here and relive the memories. HAHA. Ok bye! Enjoy reading. =)
1.34am
