i was jus readin about a book on friendships...and suddenly it occured to me that my secondary sch life was a chapter closed in my life...but one that i will not ever forget...definitely not,cuz that 4 years thought me what was goin to form the essential of me when i grow up further and into further endeavours...
guess everyone's sec1 life is about the same,we're thrust into a new environment, unfamiliar to the ones that we're already been accumstomed to in our primary sch life...wearin new sch uniforms,having to wear that =nice= tie...stricter sch rules...more expensive food...new friends to make, and of cuz more in-depth academic studies with a cca to cope..i din noe anyone from my own class,except the guy called hongsheng...who was in my primary sch...found myself sitting beside alicia and behind alicia was wanlin...no prizes for guessing who was behind me...i still remember the first fren i made...yixin..cant reallie rmb wad was the first sentence that i said to her...but it was the start to an unforgettable frenship...found out we were from pri sch band...so i sorta pulled her over to come join band...we became firm frens aft that..made great great frens...the gals in the class...all innocent..not knowin what was comin to them in the following years...subjects like geog was boring...i remembered geting my first beta mark on my FIRST art class...heck that...gettin to noe our teachers...
this year was special, i met a great great fren in the class...it wasn't that i was unfriendly or i din like her in the first year...but because she was so quiet...an unassumin presence i guess..i knew she joined band..i knew she played the flute..but other than that i din noe her...heard from people that she was anti-social...well...all i can say is that we meet different types of ppl in life...God chooses who we mix wid for a reason...she sat on the right side of class...tried to talk to her...tried to remember her name,simple yet elegant...but she was mysterious...finally rmbed her name was cindy. came along one irritatin person who sat behind me...-JOSEPH LIM!!...biangz..still sat wid alicia...i will never forget the time u stood up to ms hang..i admired u for that truly...gettin to noe my 'sis'...being REALLIE great frens wid her...feelings were aroused...tears cried by the buckets...remembering that we beat our enemy 2e2 wid our superior art work and skill at sports...had a great handball partner in cindy,and of course the WHOLE team worked well..and to say that we deserved the trophy was an understatement..remembered that ms loo[our chinese teacher] being our form teacher...it was great...but we knew we had to work hard as the next year we would be separated into different classes...
third year-i found myself in 3e3...wid new people...from classes of 2e1,e2,e3,e4,e6 and of course my own class 2e5..to my =dismay= i found out ms ngiam to be our form teacher...met new people..and got friendly around them...yes even our enemies from e2...learnt plenty of stuff about myself...other class gals hated me...for handball reasons...many of the gals who are my close frens now had hated me once in their lifetime...knew i had to get them to change their opinion of me...we had to start afresh...slacked in class...the SARS disease came around...had our band competition...syf...and i remembered us clearly getting the SILVER for the band...this moment was clearly different from the one i experienced in pri sch when i got the gold...somehow i felt that we reallie earned this silver,even though it wasn't the best...but we proved that we could stand up to the other good bands and make our our stand...met a great fren in band camp'03..found she's reallie special..but jus when u tink that things are going jus the way u wan it to be,downfall has to be bestowed onto u...i disappointed many ppl in getting 5 fails in the mid year...i had major quarrels wid cindy, wid my 'sis',things didn't reallie settle down properly until much later,i went into depression...my mum wasn't feelin too well..the band started having some problems...it was a reallie tough period for me...i vowed to myself that i would change...and change i did...i never regretted changin and formin the mould in which the liquid part of me will sink in and solidify me into the woman i was going to become..finals came and i found our i failed only 3..improvement...and a wonderful,marvellous,unforgettable year to remember...my line for the year:never regret changin...
my last year...seems that the time is going too fast to grasp wid my strong hands and pull it to decelerate...formed the fat fat gang...wid cindy,sheryl and adeline...cindy was the leader of cuz...sheryl was the fat gurl,adeline was fat kiddo and me,of course fatty...take a look at me!had wonderful teachers...and feeling the feeling that u were at the top of the school..and seeing all those sec 1s..made me reallie wish i could jus go though the phase again..our o level year...the time to remember all that we've made frens wid..the time to solve quarrels...although that didn't happen...i found that i lost a fren while tryin to convince her to stay...launched into a cold war...spite remarks were made...feelings were hurt...i too found myself totally shattered to pieces as i lose one of my great frens...my 'sis'...the one who had been the one i told my probs to when i had problems..my pride is always getting in front of me...i decided to become quieter as a person,and shutting my feelings out to people...digging a hole to dump those problems and not letting anyone to use even a spade to dig some of those soil out from my heart...i acted happie sometimes...i was happie sometimes...i acted matured..i was matured...i acted childish...i was childish...i acted smart and proud...i was smart and proud...then i met another fren,someone who was a year younger than me...but the story to how we met will be lost,as both of us will never remeber that...tried openin my heart...couldn't..talked to her...help her in whatever a fren does..and i found a sense of satisfaction in helpin people...but that's the irony of life...people will never know how to help me...
o levels came and went..
some bad kama was solved..
friendships[some of them]were solidified...
grad nites were fast approachin..
soon we had to part ways and go to different schools..
to start a new chapter in our lives...
to you friends,i will never forget..
the times we had together..
we'll always be in each others' mind..
as we wander around..
reminiscing the times we had together..
-the end-
