Was chatting with kenneth and reminded me of my first three mths... haiz
i still remember i love sch so much that i fell ill after my swimmming PE lesson,
i still dun wan to go home... then i was very touched when my classmates walked me
out and hailed a cab for me. was pretty serious cos i collapsed at my doorstep when
i reached home...

then at night, a few called me to ask if i was ok. and assured me that they will
help me collect my work and ask me not to worry...

i love my class for many reasons... many of which i couldnt find in ajc.

firstly, i was very much motivated to study even though there were so many 6 pointers
in my class. Everyday i would go to the library and do my work, still rem my buddies
calling me a mugger. lol. but it comes wif sense of achievement when ur results are
gd if not better than the class. still rem my first chem test, i was so dishearten
and disillusioned by my fave sub cos i flunked my test and quite a few of my class
got full marks. then i pushed myself and use other forms of study method, then
my phy test score was third in class. was so happy. then came bio test, i failed by
half mark. i was still very happy, why? cos the highest score was a just pass.

btw i didnt study alone unlike wat i am doing in sch now... i still rem in hc,
every class has a class bench and during breaks, our class would gather at the
bench and thrash our questions and doubts abt the lecture. then those smarter ones
will explain. if not, we will do research as groups and my class shared the materials
they found by zapping for everyone. well, that is not all.

before tests, some of us will sit down and revise, and i being the weaker one always
seek their help and they were very patient wif me. explaining steps and even shared
their own notes which they done up. even now i am in a diff jc, a few of my friends
would still email me the notes they did. haiz, i feel so bad got nothing to return
them.

i was in this cca (chn drama production) which has abt 100 members. everyday our cca
was frm 5-7. then a few of my classmates will study and wait for us, then we will
go for dinner at coronation plaza(gosh, i missed tt place). Never forget i always
take the first bus and almost the last bus home...

shall briefly talk abt the tutors cos every1 was so gd in wat they teach. my chem tutor
came in only 1 yr, and her classes she taught all As, 1 B. u cant say the students
are already smart cos tutors haf a major part to play if not why tutorials take
up most of our timetable. bio tutor even better, make sure we can explain the concepts
to the whole class, so i didnt haf prob in bio. maths very challenging cos my class
so gd in maths, phy lol experiment so many interesting ways to make us part of physics.
GP was scary... cos the tutor brought in lots of issues tt i dunno. in bombardstic
eng somemore. she has this literature style of teaching so very interesting.

the sch also gd at 'blowing up' events. CNY we had to set up stalls to compete sales.
a few frenz stayed over and we took shifts to cook. chatted the whole nite.
we had a very dirty minded theme shant say here. but well sex sells. so our sales
were top.

first time i reserved one day for visiting my frenz during new yr. went house after
house. and fyi, my class only got 3 pple living in hdb flats. lol. jaw dropped a few
times after viewing the houses. oh ya, this yr my friend invited me to her bdae
party, and another friend to his liquor party. lol. they are hip and cool, definitely
not those who ask u to smoke. drink erm... not too bad i guess... parents were there
so ya.

haiz... i missed the sch and my class... would get to laugh every tutorial class.
tts why they were able to make me cry when i got my O lvl results. even though with
8As, i was crying as bad as though who didnt pass. my principal had to comfort me.
ya, frenz called me crazy but 2 mths of such close bonding. i couldnt help.

then i cried again during the first day of orientation when i was posted to tj. cos
my friends from hc called and asked me how am i. with every sms i get i was building
up on my emotions. at the end of the day, i couldnt take it and my friends were
on the phone comforting me. haiz. but then at least now i get to meet them at their
own functions and sch events and happy that they didnt forget me and rem to invite me.

even get to know the juniors during the Seniors-treat-Juniors and Juniors-treat-Seniors
sessions. had dinner, stayed over, played mahjong, danced, poker, movies, karaoke.
now in AJC, juniors? lol who are they? sch ends at 1.45, i would be at the gate latest
at 2pm.

fyi, i didnt shut myself from the class. cos most head home too :]
