Memories

It’s 5.15pm now and guess where i am?

YEsSSSSSSS, it’s my second home for the semester holidays, the Chinese Library in NTU!!!

Got so bored with the reading materials i found on Wanfang Data, so i randomly …

typed JJC 04A2 on Google.

and i actually found Feley’s old blog …

It will be a long post …

Hmm … She mentioned many things about the class. which i had forgot most. But Ms TIE SIEW DING; i will never forget her. We 4; Feley, Eu Yee, Sarah and me were always targetted by her during econs class and had to answer questions. But of course, we either gave her a weak answer or just blanked out cos we were pretty much the worst in econs among the rest. She named me “Rebecca” or something for easy-to-remember-during-Q&A, screamed at me in such a sharp voice that i thought my ears were going to explode, nagged constantly for hours on how lazy we were, etc …

Among all the JC subjects, AO Chinese was the best and i usually don’t study for it. History was ok; better with source-based questions but not so good at remembering the figures and events. C Maths and Econs were the worst; i hate vectors, trigometry and micro economics. Results for Maths picked up a little in Yr2, but i was still failing econs … Regretted that i listened to my Aunt and took econs, when i actually wanted Chinese A’ cos i knew i definitely could have score better for it …

Called out by Ms Tie and Simon Leow to stay in school at least twice per week after school with the rest of the girls, so they could revise the topics with us before A’ levels. Thought it was more like a chore then, but now, i am grateful to them for willing to spend extra time on me when they could actually leave us to die …

On a personal basis, i thought i was kinda moody throughout the 2 years in JC, and feeling the worst in uni Yr1, and my emotions changed so fast …

During a METTA charity fair we did for CIP in J1; one moment i was hitting FuZhi like crazy cos he burst my balloon and Joel was saying “Why you hit him so hard”, the next moment, i felt so sorry and went to look for him, apologizing with tears already brimming in my eyes. Was hoping Fuzhi won’t notice cos i was trying to lie to him that i am on a PMS streak and that explained for my actions. But deep down. i knew it definitely wasn’t PMS … Another time was Simon Leow giving us a emo prep talk at the cafe in school; i suddenly cried and my classmates were all so shocked cos we should already be “immune” to it …

The impression my secondary schoolmates had of me were probably a sweet girl, bubbly in nature, sometimes crazy, loves to help people, gets along with anybody and was a “good chatting-hotline”. But when it comes to JC, i absolutely had no idea how my classmates think of me, cos i wasn’t even sure who i am exactly. For this, FuZhi will probably know more; will find a chance and ask him if i remembered.

Another issue that always popped out when i thought of the life in JC was class outings …

The chalet where Josh and Benja got drunk scared the girls cos they were vomitting and banging their head on the walls. But the big issue was that we forced Benja to make a love confession to HuiYu, and they ended up together for a year …

KaiXiang lost his wallet and went back to look for it after the steamboat dinner, and we only realized he’s missing when we crossed the control station at Marina Bay …

Sentosa’s Palawan Beach; Feley nearly drowned when we were playing captain’s ball in the waters. Till now, i am still puzzled why they let a 1.53m and another girl who doesn’t even know how to swim to stay away from the shore line … The circle started in the shallow waters but slowly became bigger when we were passing the ball. There, i already reached a point that my legs can’t even touch the ground. Suddenly. i saw Feley struggling and i was like “OMG, when did she get there?” I panicked and swam to her as fast as i could, the rest slowly realizing what had happened and started to swim towards her. I was the first to reach but still panicking, so i anyhow grabbed her by her waist and try to support her … Seriously, i don’t really have much strength cos i was using the wrong method; should have hold her by the neck and dragged her to shall0w waters again, but i forgot. Think she should have drink some water cos i was too panicked, but i managed to drag her closer to the rest and Simon Leow swam over and took her away. That moment, i suddenly realized it was a wise decision for my parents to force me to learn swimming … My gold certificate wasn’t totally useless; though i haven’t swam for years, to and fro from the shore was still a piece of cake within 15minutes now …

To Feley; you were saying that i was all gentle when i was grabbing you in the waters, but i really don’t have much strength cos i am trying to tread water while holding you … Still, i am sorry that i made you drink so much water … =(

To Simon; i hate you for pushing me down the floating platform and made me drink some water; though i randomly pushed Ben Ang into the water later cos you were too strong to even move your butt off the ground. Felt regrettful immediately then cos i heard from the guys that he doesn’t how to swim … (P.S: it’s not for revenge cos that incident haven’t happened yet.)

Another issue was that i lost a close friend over some stupid stuff, but well … At least she remembers my birthday …

Still, i am proud that i can swim, though i have 2 lifeguards as brothers … But i can’t CYCLE!!!

BoOoOoOoOoOo, back to the reading materials again …
