Seconday school catch ups
Sunday, September 06, 2009
I know its been damn long but seriously my past 1 week has been honestly heartwarming.
It started on 31st August when I decided to head down to my Secondary school to meet up my fellow teachers and what pleasant surprise it was to see Jeronme,Joel and Justin.
Haha.
And it was a good thing for me. I had fun.
I really had fun spending time with Juen and the rest.
Daniel who was supposed to join us didnt cause he overslept and so we ended up meeting for lunch and then proceeded to Iluma to see 2 other friends from my Secondary school.
See, I ended up doing something I would never thought I would la.
Jeronme and Daniel will just assume I am gona go with the flow and so through Angela who was working at this super posh Lan Shop we settled for L4D.
And I really didnt mind much as I've heard about how L4D is and we had discount and so it was so cheap for 2 hours.
I gamed la. OMG ARE YOU KIDDING? I knoww I gamed!!
Hahaha, so Jeronme,Daniel and Juen thought they were damn funny to keep me locking me out of this emergency door cause I obviously don't know 'E' was to open/close the damned door? And they will create a tank and and that asshole of a zombie will start attacking me!
OMG! I played as the Human la.
And walau, the fun thing was we all had like headphone/speaker so we could talk and didnt have to literally face each other and yell cause when I needed help I just need to yell but no they intentionally scared me by disallowing me to enter the room and purposely creating a tank!
THANKS DANIEL!!
Damn it.
Hahaha.
But it was a good day with the best classmates I can ever ask for.We had a good time speaking about our Sec 4 days and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. We made plans to meet up soon and its just beautiful isnt it?
We graduated in 2005 and its 2009 and we still have shitloads to speak about laugh about.
So yes, seeing as it was time for me to walk down memory lane, I made plans and finally made it happen to meet up with Tia.
Haha, we were rather ambitious to head down to Causeway though we lived like 5 mins from each other and since it rained that day we just settled for the Macdonalds at Admiralty.
Seeing her immediately brought me back memories right from the time we started talking.
She has become alot more prettier than I remember.
I just felt so comfortable sharing all that has been going down for me and I was really happy she shared her stuffs too. Like its a bond which doesnt need to be strengthened by meeting/talking but the mutual understanding trust and love we'll always have for each other.
I will still always remember you for the way you stood up for me love! No one did that for me then, but only you.
And yes, after reading your blog, I realised! OMG YOU REMEMBER THAT NIGHT?
That night we skipped night class. You still remember why? Cause you used your TUITION money to buy earrings(AN ITEM WHICH YOU WERE OBSESSIVELY MAD ABOUT SINCE THE AGE OF 13)and you were so screwed weren't you? Cause your mum found out you havent paid you tutor and she wanted it back and you cried over it la! Lol. Damn funny, but it didnt stop there, that was right,we started talking about life and how irresponsible we've both become though O levels wasn't that far away.
But the classic moment was when this love of mine paid for her food at Macs and dropped her wallet back into her bag and then after a few mins she goes, 'OMG! WHERE'S MY WALLET!', I swear it was so effing funny because she never changed since the age of 16 la!!! Thats how she was then, and it was always the WALLET like how it was the ezlink for me then and handphone now. (Shut up cupid)
But yes, I was laughing and I told her, 'Things really hasnt changed much Tia, you certainly haven.'
And we laughed nonstop and started on how Bambam would scold her till she cried, for always losing her wallet.
There was a time we wanted to teach a lesson, we ended up teaching a few but to no improvement.
She would simply cry when her wallet went 'missing', when we intentionally took it and pretended.
And when the tears went above quota we would just place it back and she'll think nothing happened and start being careless again. Hahaha. Day in day out!
But I think you were right about how it felt like to be opening up a diary and going through page and speaking about each and every memory.
'Northland Guys' as so they were titled and still are, was also one of our topics and it was really so funny talking about it. And just so ya'll know those guys are the currents guys I usually talk about . Tnesh,Pravin,Oswind,Viknesh etc.
So yes!
See the reason why I can never forget Tia is because she has simply shared so many things with me regarding life. Among all of us, we both went through the same uptight controlled lifestyle.
Like how we all had curfews, Tia's and mine was almost similar.
But member even better, 16 birthday had boys even. I was 4 years behind her man. Hahaha. ONLY during my 20th I could have them over, and that was also a surprise.
But yeh, she always said, 'What they don't know won't hurt them.So I think its all about knowing what to tell to our parents.'
Which was true cause eventually even if we have to literally be 2 persons we dealt with it fine.
Like how TEKONG, not the real tekong where guys go for NS, but its this park near our secondary school was our birthday area.
Everyone's birthday was celebrated there, or most I should say. Like we even threw Pravin a party there la! Like Christ Church and Northland coincides in dear old Tekong park.
LOL. But really cause we obviously had to LIE to our parents that Speech day comes with a complimentary dinner just so we can return home later we obviously had to bring extra clothes to change into?And the moment we leave Tekong part somehow or rather we'll get changed and poof we're all clad in white&green(uniform duh) and back home that once it even surprised the 'Northland guys' when they saw us at Woodlands Int wearing that.
So then comes some emotional talks about our schoolmates/friends passing on and it impacted us cause we were a group no matter the ups and downs we all faced. And then came the part that Tia herself didnt know how it affected me?
She remembered the way I was after my grandma's passing on. She remembered how I pointed exactly where my grandma lost her life in my house and she remembered how I loved her.
And I was taken aback. I was so shocked I swear. And she didnt just say it but she said it from her point of view, like she went, 'Yeah and you can look at the place your grandma left cause you love her...and you can walk across her room knowing she might be there and not get scared cause there's love.'
Thank you Tia for all that. I genuinely appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. Yep, so that catch up session with her went really well and fun I think more of these now and then would be heartwarming. :)
This time with the rest of them yes?
So yeh, come Thursday, I met up with Daniel and Juen after I got done with relief teaching at dear old Fuchun. And we were off for a dinner treat from Daniel and he's going to camp soon we made him treat us. Lol. And we got a share of punishment for that la!!
My laptop spoilt afterwhich and Juen got summoned.
Damned!
But nice thing was the chilling at this Thai restaurant where we met Andrew a while and we off home. I think thats about all till my next post. I am certainly glad I am getting back in touch with my secondary school mates, sometimes the joy and laughs they provide me with no one else. :) I am happy that though they were only in my life for one period of time that phase was beautiful and I would give anything I can to get it all back.
Till the next time.
NO laptop NO hp.
-.-
Godspeed and my love.
