ENTRIES

[Sunday, March 11, 2007] . ]

i miss my class. SB8. seriously. things are so different now when everyone has their own qian gua, guys: army, girls: work. yes of course the addition of kids to my life has indeed made a difference but upon working did i really realise the true meaning and happiness of studying. my parents were right: when u start to work u start to miss the days of studying. my kids often ask me how come i come telling them : xiang dang nian..blah blah happen. i realise why. cos i miss my school days my friends my teachers my class my environment and yes, my books. This sounds absurd. i actually miss the mood to study the books but of course not the exams. i miss my class 4A3 and also SB8. yesterday when i went to NTU open house with gong i saw ellen in the HSS talk at LT 4 then i met up with sher and lixian to guang guang around and then at night we saw kellie and xiao xuan at jurong pt. In one day, suddenly everyone appeared. And also i saw yuenling three times at NTU and jurong pt and also pui khuan. Today at NUS i saw sher and shad, i saw jas, kah yoke and deborah cow. i saw so many pple. the feeling of school and my goodie friends comes back naturally.

The other day when i went back to AC to ask my teacher questions i look around the school alone while waiting for dar. in that short ten min, everything came back. everything.
The canteen: where we joke and eat during free periods, where gong always buy his fav milo, where both of us always buy the chips and my nuggets and MR CHEE ( as called by zhen hui and gang) where we all, the chinese a pple and also zhilei and dar they all we often met up for quick bites and drinks for only one period of time but we were satisfied with a short chat and catchup for the week.
The canteen toilet: the nearest to my class, where sher lixian xiao xuan yen nee jac we all often go toilet together or rather also gong and i accompany each other to toilet. along that familiar path from NL6 to canteen toilet. i remember sir saying even going toilet has to be done together haha then the whole class would make fun of us. The familiar toilet and cubicle i always choose, also the place we girls change for PE and when it was NAFA the place we groan and starting to be scared as we change into our PE attire. The place where we girls change after playing captains ball remember?
The HUB: the last few weeks of drilling and studying and the place to go straight to during free periods. where we ask questions non stop where kellie often says i borrow ur gong ah where i often complain so hard so cold don like the seats so many pple. haha. i miss the aircon and the smell now.
The glass door: where J1 that time fang and i and olie they all would meet after school at 4.30 to take bus 74 back together. where we would catch up for once a week where we say our good byes to our classmates and say cya tomorrow where everyone gathered right after school to chat. different cliques different conversations different memories.
the field and track:where the scary mass run, and the NAFA tests were held. where we often had PE and laze around after games in the afternoon. where gong and i often go to the pull up bars near the music room to practise. where i buy ribena bottle and secretly put at his bag during his training. where our whole class played captains ball at the track itself or also at the netball court. where we play hockey. wherewe play frisbee and touch rugby where AC games day was held. where we cheered. where we sweated. the place we played our hearts out.
the north lodge: where my class was situated. it was our home. haha. i rememebered we often da pao there, play little ball or card games, where we talk happily to our teachers but at the same time where serious teaching was held too (during my free period yup hee) where we hear momo sing and practise for ac idol where we sat at a corner and do work, where the class painted our banner for the FUN-O-RAMA where roses and cards and chocolates were given during valentine's day where friendships were bonded so strongly. where we got to know each other better and even better. where seats were divided into first row: girls 1 , second row: girls 2, third row: couples row, fourth row: guys. haha where we had much fun many memories and teasing and also encouragements. where we said our mornings ! and goodbyes.
the east lodge: where i had my chinese lessons. where xiao pang always tease me abt gong. where wailam ling ying jane they all sat with me kah hern kah yee shen jie and sui lan at the back row. where we took photos and peep out of our door to look for mr sim where gong fetch me to and fro and help me carry things where zhen hui xiang and yuan shan yen nee peiyu come and talk talk talk siao things with me. where we bonded. where we cared for each other as a chinese a class.
different classrooms and lecture theatres, different places different times, they all bring back different memories so special, so lovable, so dear now to me. i really wish everything was back in school. where i could wear my AC uniform once again and talk freely and happily to my friends, my classmates my gong. hee. where something special started. where friendships bond. where 2 years of JC became so special because of AC and ACsians. i really do miss AC.
