Time flies..

I gave a big sigh while looking out of my window, into the cold wet roads and hospital surroundings.

Time has gone by so quickly that it's quite hard to believe that I'm going to be 26 this year.

Lots of memories of my student days came back as I got bored and took a peek into my friends' website and of course, into Friendster - the ultimate tool to check out people whom u know but don't talk to and also the best way to find out how they are.

Saw a lovely photo posted by a friend of her best pals, all of them being my secondary school classmates. I smiled while looking at that photo even though I'm not in it (I bet they'll burn the photo if I was in there...hahaha). I was admiring their smiles. They looked so young then. To think we didn't even think we looked young during those days.

It made me realise we've all grown up without realising it.

We've all went onto different routes to pursue our dreams, and moved into a new phase in life.

I miss my student days, especially the ones in BV...

I can't help but smile as I recall these...

BV Days
1. Crying each time I didn't get my desired grades
2. Running my ass off during track & field competitions just to fight for medals and trophies to add to my collection
3. Spent the entire night altering my skirt length (obviously I did a crap job since I don't own a sewing machine) just to compete with someone I dread to see whose skirt is shorter
4. Purchasing branded bags since it was the "in" thing
5. Trying to understand how some girls manage to breathe when they tuck in their blouses so tightly into their skirts, and I actually went home to try it (...and I found it hard to breathe and cos my figure sucks, so there wasn't much a point in me doing what they did)
6. Checking out the bras other girls were wearing
7. Dragging someone's red bag on the floor until it turned black because I dread that bag's owner
8. Refusing to pay attention during Chinese lessons, and only panicked my shit out when the O levels got nearer
9. Forming a team with my good buddies before any chinese test, so that we can pass our own test paper around and get our friends to fill in the answers for us (and by the time the test paper was ready to be handed in, u'll find the answers are filled in with more than 5 different pens..yet we didn't give much of a damn even if the teacher knew)
10. Imitating Ms Tan Yee Kim's "Shhhaaa...shhhaaa...shhaaaafffiiiqqq...."
11. Singing songs with Huishan (this woman sings hell of a lot in class manz..we used to call her "Ah Mei")
12. Dreaming day and night with a friend about becoming a doctor one day (he ended up becoming a dentist!)
13. Manicly copying homework, especially after school holidays (we actually used to publicly announce it in class..."Ay! Anyone finish Page 24 of the Geography workbook or not? Want to copy leh!")
14. Tearing up our storybooks into parts during "silent reading" to distribute to our friends who have forgotten to bring their books just so that they don't have to stand up in the hall (u'll find one person having Chapters 1-4, while another having Chapters 5-9 etc...)
15. Pasting "branded" adverts from magazines onto the front or back cover of our textbooks (now I wonder what's the point of that...to make the books "branded"?)
16. Dumping our books under our tables and into carton boxes in the side cupboards so that we don't have to bring so many books home
17. How my heart would race when I see this guy I secretly admired (until the secret was told to the whole world by some big mouth)

TJC Days
1. Hanging out all the time with 3 other girls (we were ONE gang)
2. Sleeping during lectures
3. Being late for school many times, and u'll always hear a loud sound from me throwing all my bags and books down onto the floor when that bloody student council president shouts "Sekolah!"
4. Me slurping my can of Soya Bean after PE
5. Being late for EVERY swimming lesson, and then pretending to swim in the pool and getting out as soon as I start seeing those who finished their laps heading for the toilet to shower.
6. Comparing with Lemon (my best Jc Buddy) to see who failed more subjects after exams
7. Searching our names from the bottom of the list after every GP exam
8. How the 4 of us girls will check out on each other's boob size to see if they've grown..hahahaha.
9. Competing with a friend to see who finishes the Maths tutorials first
10. Having my "friendly neighbour" (this guy gave himself this title...) who will come to my house without any formal invitation and crap with my parents, and reminding me to sleep early
11. Going to Orchard Road alone after school to walk around and enjoy my cup of Ice-blended Mocha
12. Spending Saturday mornings in TJC doing Biology MCQs since my Biology tutor thinks I'm so condemn that she needs to give me remedial lessons
13. Laughing my ass out whenever that insane Lemon tells me she needs to shit whilst running that dreaded 2.4km
14. Doing the "Chu4 Nu3 Xin1 Jing1" dance with Lemon in class
15. Watching Lemon do her Music Theory while I'll be writing/drawing nonsense all over my tutorial book during tutorials (it's no wonder why our grades were bad...lol)
