Here I begin an epic long post after a long rant about things. Anyway.

It's hard to believe that my 11 years in the school system is over, and that now I am moving on to college. The last 2 years, especially, seemed very fast for me. Form 3, if I recall correctly, felt like it was very long. I guess it was mostly because of my being an AJK.

Funny how the years felt shorter as I grew older.

Fun fact: I used to go to kindergarten with Li Za, Dic Vinn, Jon Yoon and Lisa, to name a few. I took the bus with Lisa (We used to read the expletives that were scribbled on the back of the bus seats, haha). Lisa was like my awesome friend in kindergarten, okay? And, haha, I remember sitting beside Amirul back then too.

ANYWAY.

PRIMARY SCHOOL.

I still stand firm with my saying that Standard 6 was one of my best years of my life, if not THE best year. But I shall begin from, well, the beginning anyway. SS19 was an awesome school. In Std 1, I took the bus to school. With Dhivya. Her sis and my sis are as old as each other, so they knew each other and they sat together in the bus. So, technically, Dhiv was one of my first friends from primary school. Anyway, we sat together on the bus. Every morning. In the same seat.

In class, I sat beside a certain Ng Min Shen, whose name I always forgot, but thankfully, she had one of those bags that came with the trolleys, and she had her name written on it, and she put it in the middle (If memory serves me right, we sat at the back. And she was sitting on the left, while I sat on the right). So that was a way to remember her name. LOL. Sorry, Shen. My name-memorizing skills suck compared to yours back then.

Min Shen was already an artist back then, right? Drawing all those Sailor Moon stuff. Hahaha. Oh, and drawing the illustrations from Enid Blyton books... right? Anyway, Min Shen has always been taller than me, and that has never changed. Hmph. Oh, then she dumped me for SJ in Std 2. I didn't even see THAT coming. Haha. Well, who does? Not that you really care about moving schools when you're 7, LOL. Lisa was also in 19 in Std 1, but she was in another class. She moved to SJ in Std 2, too. Hahaha.

Standard 2 was one of my weirdest years in school. My class teacher was virtually nonexistant for most of the year, so my class got split up. I wanted to go to SS (Yih Shan's class), because we had Moral with them for the previous year, so I knew people there. But I got sent to KS instead. Sheesh. But, if I recall correctly, Candy! was in KS. I don't remember much from Standard 2 because it's not that interesting.

Standard 3 was blah, as well. Although a little less boring. I became a librarian... That's how I first met Julia. I remember sitting for PTS. And that my close friends were Sook Yee and Phoebe. And that I hung out with the guys more. Hee. That was one thing in Primary School - I hung out more with the guys. But in secondary school... That sorta changed, eh? Anyway, at the end of Standard 3, we were streamed for Standard 4 (Because streaming only started in Std 4). I was placed in SS with people like JEN! and JULIA! YIH SHAN! LATHA! HASHEENA! CANDY! XIN YIN! JO LYN! JONATHAN (Yang)! JIMMY (I sat beside him in... Std 6? Always called him 'Chin Hong')! ERIK! JOSHUA! ZATY! DHIIIIIVYA! ETC! ETC! Anyway, I sat beside Yih Shan and we decided we'd sit together for the next year. Julia interested me because she was basically this really hyper bouncy ball of insanity (And she was a librarian on duty with me for a short while, so I technically knew her), and Jen was so quiet she amused me. Sorry Jen. I just knew you were more awesome than you let in. Haha.

In Standard 5, I was also in SS. And by this time, I was really, really close with Jen and Julia and Yih Shan. On the tuition front, I went to the British Council, and that's how I knew Alex before she came to SS19. I also met Aaron (Lim, 5 Zeta) and May Yuan (Also 5 Zeta, LOL) in BC.

At the end of Standard 5, and I don't think I'll be the only one remembering this - it was post-exams, so we were all free doing all our stuff. And Jen, Julia and I would be playing Lego (Yes. We were very feminine). While Sharvinna and the others would play with Barbie dolls (Haha, stark contrast from one end of the classroom to the other). One day, there was this new girl who would be joining us next year, and that she'd come to settle in before Std 6, or something. Julia and I, being the psychotic ones, were all, "WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN US? 8D"

Must've freaked Cheryl out then, HAHAHA. Anyway, I remember she was all, "Uuuh... No thanks?" but we left an open invitation anyway. We were so awesome back then. LOL, kidding.

Anyway, Cheryl also became one of my closest friends in Std 6. She was always with Candy, LOL. But since our names were one after the other, we sat beside each other during exams. And we had fun exchanging stories. Especially hers. Haha. Stepping on staplers, kicking doctors during routine checkups... Oh, and there was once, she had a really bad asthma attack... was it during trials? Anyway, that was quite scary. We got to call her aunt, though. And now she's fine and dandy.

Standard 6 also had a lot of insane moments. Yih Shan, Dhiv and I used to join the guys to play football. We played a lot of handball. Oh, and the Ramble. Ah, the Ramble was so awesome. I think Julia still has our 20+ volumes. With Anthrax (Fine. It was talcum powder. But, whatevs) in it.

We had the best teachers in Std 6. Pn Chang, especially, and she always was in the Bilik Muzik with Pn Yeoh (Ju Yinn's mum! HAHAHAHAHA!) chatting in Hokkien or whatever dialect they chatted in. It was definitely not Cantonese or Mandarin.

Whenever we had lessons in the computer lab, Pn Chang and all would be "Finish the questions then you can play the games" (The thing has UPSR questions, then if you achieved a certain score you could play Vs Tetris. So there was a whole Tetris Cup thing in class). Julia, Jen and I amused ourselves, not by playing tetris, but by tweaking with HTML on Microsoft Frontpage. LOL. SEE. THAT IS HOW I KNOW HTML.

UPSR ended, there was this end-of-the-year sports thing for us to pass time. So we played handball, duh. I remember interchanging between Yih Shan to be goalie. We got... What? Third? Second? I can't remember now.

And I was an idiot. Don't ask me why, but I EFFING SKIPPED THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL. WTF WAS WRONG WITH ME?!

I was in Melbourne when the UPSR results came out, LOL. When I got back the first thing I did was call Yih Shan to ask. Woohoo!

And then, there was SECONDARY SCHOOL.

Okay, I'm not feeling eloquent right now, so Part 2 will be up when I do.
