Dear diary,
I'm falling in love..
This post is in response to SABRINA NG HUAY MIN.'s dated 18th March 2006 my dearest Sabrina, seems like u havent forgotten about those days back in our alma mater. neither did i. eh i really envy DANIEL BEY cos he owned a camera back then in that era and i didnt. AWE. i havent got a single picture which looked as wonderful as those 2 brothers on the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. Primary One started off fine. to summarise, i 'found out' that my favourite colour was
BLUE (bcos that was my form teacher's. ((: ) erms.. shamefully, i pee-ed in my pant, (rather, my skirt) cos i was too frightened to ask for permission during Civics & Moral Education. CME in SHPS is really different from those in the other schools. ST HILDA'S IS A GREAT PLACE TO NURTURE AND GROW. it's like.. the shelter house of God. absolutely.
anyway. St. Hilda's encourages little kids like us to study hard by awarding us with the simple things we did, such as learning of our spelling & dictation.. mental sums quiz every week.. also not forgetting the classic event, BOOK READING to the reading mums and dad. SURE THING MAN SAB, RMB I TOLD U I PASSED OFF AS THE READING MUM AND SIGNED THE BOOK ON MY OWN SO THAT I COULD EARN MYSELF THE SILVER BADGE?and blardy, I CANT FIND IT NOW. i had a difficult time trying to come up with book titles authors and the outcome of the story. sadly, i was not driven enough to fabricate 100 more tales so that i could get my BIG NAME printed on a nice piece of paper, which is simply known as the certificate.
we, too, have class publications yearly. i guess the school is trying to spur the kids in writing. in addition, upper primary kids usually take part in the New South Wales Examinations. what a stressful environment right?? (((:
hey, do you remember the KOI POND back then? i clearly remember myself peeking into the pond in search of a tortoise every morning. what an interesting lifestyle i lead.
well, to refresh our memories my dear friend, YOU WERE A GOONDU WITH BODOH SPECS. and erh, i was A FAT KID :X pictures say a thousand words. i shant elaborate any further....
talking about your school bus sabrina, mine was THREE. and my bus uncle had a cute name : ANG TENG HOON. urs doesnt. i can call my bus uncle ANG KU KUEH SAURUS. u cannot. ((:
now we get to the honorable teachers.
nevermind about those seasonal games like five stones and zero point.
the trend back then in St.Hilda's Primary : "RINGGGG!!" - end of recess. practically EVERY SINGLE BODY IN THE CANTEEN SREAMS AT THE TOP OF THEIR VOICES LIKE THAT WAS GONNA BE THEIR LAST. unfortunately, according to my sister who's still schooling in SHPS, they CANT yell, or they'll have to stay back for detention or whatnorts. all they can do now is to STONE. lol.
OMG. the bookshop in SHPS is like a ja-palang store. if u havent prepared a gift for ur friend's bday? fret not. the bookshop has WRAPPED crappt presents. the vendors are really smart at earning little kids' pocket money man. haha.
how can anyone ever forget
MR. ANDREW SOONG? he was like a father to us. constantly monitoring our academic improvements, and he's real serious when it comes to discipline. He's not one man we should try to fool around with. cos' he reigns. i vividly recall the rocket-shaped pencil case he carries around. and the group awarding system. and PERSONALISED STICKERS for us on CHILDRENS' DAY! omg, it's been a long time since i last celebrated childrens' day. Secondary school sucks. they dont even bother when it comes to Youth day. well, i havent got a clue which date is Youth Day exactly on anyway. back to the MAN. i think i've seen him shedding tears before. well, he actually chased Kok Yi out of the class when he wrongly accused him of changing seats with Bernice. and Mr.Soong apologised (if i'd not remember wrongly) to Kok Yi. See? a man of principles. OH YA. i learnt how to play BLACK MAGIC from him (((:
MISS. YIO LEE KENG, aka YANG MEH MEH. i havent got much impressions of her left in my little brain. pardon me. all in all, she's a wonderful teacher. well, how did u think i managed a PASS in HMT!!! WHEEE.
MRS. YVONNE CHU, the woman who constantly reminds us of GENETICALLY MODIFIEL STRAWBERRIES and FISHES. and was warning us that we may evolve into a monster someday. how enriching.. she CA pronouce ALGAE correctly. and she's the only one who can do that. (say : AL - GEE; not AL - GAY). this lady conducts combined science remedial for 6/9 and 6/6 every sat (if im not mistaken..) MORNING. (zzz) and she has this special spot in the meeting room called.. "CIRCLE OF
somethingwhichicantrmb" . whatever it is, she calls clarence, ICHI-MAYO. hahahaha..
well, how many of us can actually remember the supposedly irritating man,
MR. LONG HIAN KUM aka LONG HONG KONG. he floods us with tonnes of maths Qn which are purely out of this world and we had to complete them within a stipulated time. sickkk. he is one psychotic maths teacher. nonetheless, i thought the
tiger&elephant method pretty interesting(actuallyit's just the TRY&error method). amazingly, he's back in SHPS after slogging his little ass in Poi Ching.. -.-" i reckon SHPS has a lovelier environment... oh ya. he calls clarence the little boy in the bathtub with his rubber duckie.
Clarence was like.. the joke of the class. haha. no teacher would not poke fun at him.. i really wonder why.
ok now to the not so very significant
MRS. YAM. she teaches us MUSIC :X . one special trait about her : she greets the class by singing "GOOD MORNING BOYS AND GIRLS" in the sickening high pitch of hers. and WE, a class of 40 had to reply her in eeeky tones "GOOD MORNING MRS YAM. " music lessons were pure crap. lol ((:
well as for me,
MRS JOSEPHINE TAN and
MISS ZAHIRA were impt as they were i/c of the school's drama club. yes, i was in the drama cub. i cant act for nuts. dont ask me why i was there. anyway, all i have to say is. they're nice and i had a ball of time trying to convince them that i sucked at acting and ended up being i/c of the stupid tape recorder. and for a period of time while my club mates were practising for the upcoming Founder's Day, i was just stoning there and meddling with the not very techy gadget. and guess what. i did not appear on Founder's Day itself to play that shit recorder. :X i din noe i was supposed to. seriously, i got ticked off mannn. :(
and how can i forget,
MISS JOCELYN TAN, the ferocious tiger of SHPS. she hounds us like.. a tiger, yes :X . she was my CME teacher in Primary.. Four? anw, she's a goooooood CME teacher. inspiring in one way or another. however stern she may seem, she definitely is one nice lady behind those killer frowns and yells.
i kind of remember
MISS. JILL PNG too.
