Sunrise and Sunsets

i stepped into the canteen in d break of dawn…quite impressed at the number of people which showed up so early. serena surprisingly came,dressed in tracksuits n her orange shirt. i looked at myself,clad in red from my shirt to my basketball pants, wondering if the fact that i’m not dressed in d required pants wuld get me in trouble later. Lesson i learned: NEVER wear BRIGHT coloured outside clothes in school during school hours as it attracts the teachers like colourful flowers n bees!

we helped each other pin our numbers on d back n front n i got d oppurtunity to see prefects being off duty n normal students d whole day for once! when we realised that prayer meeting was still held, we rushed to 4 beta n prayed for safety during d race. after dat, hundreds of brightly dressed students filled the field like ants. we started off with senamrobiks n it was hilarious really! all d students had difficulty following d instructor n when we tried to immitate her moving side to side n kicking her legs according to the titanic song, evryone seemed like retarded penguins hopelessly attempting to dance to the remix of titanic!den we were divided into categories n den into our respective houses. I m in red n Alfi n Stephanie made us do d hang tuah cheer clap thingy again n again. the p3 category went before mine, P1. when dey started, so many girls n guys ran n d colourful body of red,orange,yellow,blue n green broke into pieces.

next was my category, d form 5 ladies n also d form 1 guys hahah.being kiasu i stood at d very front wif my foot firmly on d grass behind a streak of white line. i savoured evri moment of it n wen d race started we ran. My strategy is kinda bad but ive been using it since primary hehe. ere’s d secret which most of u wuld object: run faster dn d rest at d beginning n den try to maintain to d end but like duh i cant. i figured my stamina wuldnt last long so mite s well outrun s many ppol s i can at d beginning~

about 500m later i started jogging slower n maintaining a constant pace wen wei wen overtook me. im telling u dat gurl can run all d way man. she nvr stops!i tot its ok i just wan top 5… n tried my best to keep up. suddenly another girl took over n i tried to overtake her but she was too strong lol.n den another girl took over haiz(basketballer) n den xin lei(another basketballer) took over. by dis time i was like panciting lol. n den my classmate jia fong took over =\. owel…i lost my top 5 position but was even more determined to maintain my current position.

suddenly my *abs-to-be*( as jo zee suggests calling it) started to cram n i culdnt breathe properly. i panthed n started thinking of biology (see!biology can discourage u!!!XD) bout how my muscles r short of atp as d intake of oxygen aint enuff to sustain d production of atp so anaerobic respiration is happening n my muscles r producing lactic acid…n …ok cut the crap.

wen i ran pasts sum shops, i saw a group of guys who r participants as well drinking iced tea… i was so exhausted dat d thought of going up to dem n asking for a sip crossed my mind!i shook dt ridiculous idea off my head n tried my best to keep focus. after sum time i walked n my stomach ws like killing me. i wonderd wat wuld happen if i just fainted… so the drama haha.

suddenli, a familiar voice spoke to me on my right. *go chooi si you can do it!* n to my horror it was liza right behind me!my kiasuness toook over my half deadness n i quickly ran far frm her. after awile i tot to myself:

she must be far behind. its safe now.

i slowed down n walked again…*hi chooi si!*out popped d same voice frm my left. i quickly ran again n reminded myself to apologise to her later!i must maintain my spot…. just keep running..

wen i turned around a corner i saw d school again.i ran downhill n to the field gate to the padang. no form 5 girl was near me but i still ran s fast s i culd to the P1 lane. wen i reached i was soooooooo exhausted i culdnt even write my name properli moreover spell it. i den walked up d stairs, hunched back n dizzy… dragged myself to my water bottle n gulped down h20!

wen it was prize giving ceremony time, i got 6th place. but the top 5 medals were soooooooo pretty!!!!it had a HUGE DIAMOND the size of ur fist tilting towards u wif a pointed end facing downwards…. sparkling n gorgeous… yerrr owel, dun reali deserve it cus i didnt train my stamina at all =p.but aniway i wna tank liza for being my inspiration to run faster lol.

n so it was d final run. moments come n go… its all just fleeting by.

Everitin is zooming fast…life tends to get blurry.jus a second ago it was d countdown to new year n now…2008 (i tot dis yr wuld nvr come) its nearly d end of january and my friends are beginning to drive. we’re asking each other wat college we’re going to NEXT YEAR!n squealing wif *excitement* dat we have 10 more months to freeeeeedom lol…its d last 1st day in school.its d last exam papers in  school.d last valentines- d last evritin.

When i look at those *lil* kids id smile n flashback on how i was like them…n how much more to life in secondary dey’d have to go tru. How many ups n downs they’ll face n how different of a person dey’d be in d end of it.How deyd be shocked at d difference of level frm form 3 to form 4.

Secondary life… definitely not a hundred percent happy nor a hundred percent sad. I’ve met soo many people where we’d go kuku together..on how serena,sue mae n i always watched d sunrise nearli evri monin in form 3 n part of form 4. How i got into cf n felt wer i belong. How God touched me n changed me, making me becoming the person i am today.Being part of d anime japan crazy always drawing gang frm form 1 to 3. How many friendship fights i went tru n how much pain i had to endure… how i realised dat true friends are extremely extremely rare.

I discovered cool stuff in secondary school. among dem wer my fascination wif martial arts!i only joined taekwando in form 3…i remember d 1st day wen i haven even got my white belt around my waist yet..how dy were shocked at d fact dat i culd split =S…i dun tink dat was dat big of a deal really lol.I loved d discipline, d fact dat i have sumtin to protect myself wif wen anybody tries to attack me!(lol…especially like in d anime…. d cool fighting scenes wow i sound geeky!). In form 4 onli i began sparing for real n especially during d practice for demo hari koku(which i culd use to skip class anitime muahahaha) i got to noe john,aaron,chern hao, ben n quan zi so much beter.

Oh n how i managed to witness serena frm a *wats wif dis anime stuff man!* to an even hardcore anime freak den me!dat was soo weird though lol…

Pmr- wat i remember most frm my form 3 years were fun in d omega class…we had been together fo 3 yrs after all!how our theme song was rasa sayang eh which we often sang wen our boring sej teacher enter to teach hehe.oh…n i was so obsessed wif getin strait a’s. id often cry wen i got a b lol… oh n preparation for pmr examinations. on pmr week i was soo paranoid dat id oversleep or sumtin!We sat for it. d 1st paper was bm which we all were nervous for. but after dat 1st paper…we just sat for d rest like norm.wasnt reali stressing!at one point i culdnt find my exam slip wen d paper was starting. man i was panicking like mad…wanted to rush to d office to get a copy but d examiner found it right outside d class (wind blew oops =p). after d last paper, geography we were cheeering!!!!!!den we went to lepak (erika, ann ee, me, inez n angeline) for nearli 6 hours in a single street in ss 15. (cc…o2jam! n sum window shopin n den starbucks..ann ee was thirsty). At starbucks we giggled at d opera background n mimicked it.

on d day pmr results came out…my heart was thumping madly. our class crowded around d representative of d class tcher (our dear pn tan lee yong had an exam). d tcher had  a stack of pmr result slips…n i was sooooooo scared dat id get b for bm( dreamt it twice =X) bt i saw my slip n squealed fo joy!i remember d way xueli stared at me =\ lol. but many others wer crying cus dey didn get wat dey expected. i was sooo grateful to God dat i got my desired results.We culdn reali celebrate cus sum of our frens wer depressed…

during form 3 hol… my first experience working illegally. angeline n i landed a job at a hainan chef kopitiam shop in summit. d food der is REALI good n d boss lets us eat unlimited roti kiaps. my soon fav became light brown toasted roti kiap smothered in butter, kaya n dipped in wonderful cham. it was also stressing experience cus many customers… seriousli. but we ate so much no wonder y i became fatter hehe.

and den first day of form 4. Evrione was complaining how old dey felt.. n we were kinda excited bout sweet sixteen.we still lined up accordin 2 our fom 3 classes..wondering how we’d be seperated. den d class tchers read out our names according to form 4 classes. i was so devastated dat ALLL my close frens went to dif classes… i landed in sigma…alone!!!!but sung lin which has been stuck wif me since form 1 in omega n since stdrd 5 in d same bus n we sumhow live in d same row n he entered sigma too lol. we were kinda quiet at first.. i was at d back of d lab sitting wif depressed drawing jo zee (lol) n shu lyn. soon d ice on d first day was shattered tanx to MARK~=D.d whole class became frenli n wen d school allowed us to switch classes wif others d whole class didn wna budge except one who shifted out cus her friend realli needed her.

Sigma is reali fun. we’d bring d guitar to school without permission n played it in class wile jo zee n i sang. we love to sing!n we have a family tree too… joel is d grandpa..his children are me n xueli. im a single aunt who happens to be same age s my niece. xueli, my sis married jeremy but divorced soon. dey have 4 children, shu lyn n jo zee d twins n edmond d lame king n sung lin!I was sumhow d monitor  man… responsibility urgh. its cool how people of totali diff clicks come together =).

now form 5. dis year wuld zoom as fast s d rest. its gna be in a snap of d fingers b4 we say gudbye to each other.. we r seeing our frens slowly parting ways n growing up. ive nvr lived a perfect secondary life n if i culd relive it i wuld have done more but i cant. dis yr…we’re gna look forward to after spm!n oh….. prom nite. can u believe it?we’ve been looking forward to prom our whole secondary life n its in a few months time~ i bet i’ll go single hahah. my sincere wish is to keep in touch wif all my frens n make true frens along d way. d time will soon come to pass on d torch which we will leave behind to d yunger ones.
