Theres that kinda bitter-sweet nostalgia you get when you walk around the school you have been in for the significant portion of your past..its even more nostalgic when your doing it with people that you have fostered friendships with..months after everyone went their own separate ways.And its only been 5++ months since..
The group of us (less than 5) took the effort to visit our secondary (SMK SU) and primary schools (SKSJ).The feeling was very sweet and funny.I dont know how they felt,but these were my thoughts..
Walking down the length of each building block brings with it the memories of going from class to class to attend lessons.The faces of the juniors and teachers feel to me like extras in this epic movie of life as they cross our paths as we met them.The people who my life has become inter-twined with,all here..
The teachers who guided us,seem ever-present in their respective schools,never faltering,tendering to the students just like they did to me and my friends years back.The signs of aging becoming more apparent on them..Were all stepping into adulthood already..
In the primary school,we walked around and looked at what used to be or what was..My little boy days spent so gleefully and care-free like in the school.
The funny thing about all this was,i visited the schools with Chooi Si and Sue Mae,people
i wouldnt have imagined doing it with a couple of years back.Thats how funny things have turned out for me,but im VERY VERY glad.Were all from the same primary school and both were my classmates at some point during my secondary school life,a common history.Sometimes i laugh and i wonder how i befriended them.
When you look back and see the people you used to hang out with and compare it with the present,the cruel reality is that most of them have gone their own ways,but at the same time,new people come into our lives as well.
Im in Form 6 and already,new people are slowly becoming a part of my life now.Sometimes i wonder if destiny ever had a hand in how we meet and befriend the people we know.Yet,all of them wont be there forever.
Its beautiful and yet...so...sad.Can anything truly last at this age?For life?
Sounds like teenage naivity to me,but dont we all treasure such blessings?
Looking back...walking around in schools i have been in,recalling all the people ive met and comparing it to the present,the people ive befriended and whom have grown with such significance in my life,and with the new friends im gonna be with for the next 1 1/2 years.....i wouldnt have had it any other way.EVER.
I start anew now,in this new school of mine,ill meet new faces,ill meet new friends and ill create more memories....but whatever happens...i want to take it,one day at a time~

Hols are here~
Lol not much jubilation as the first 2 weeks of Form 6 brought with it much (seemingly self-inflicted) pressure and lots of unfinished homework.
The faces are starting to etch deeper and deeper in my mind..my classmates.Fortunately there isnt all doom and gloom and endless homework.The overall experience isnt actually torturing cept for the fact that i MUST sleep everytime i come back from school.
2 weeks on from now,i got holidays! But i gotta commit it to covering everything i learned the past 2 weeks.Owh n relatives are coming over...and and umm....(Writers block now) BARCALONA HAVE BEATEN MAN.UTD!! MUAAHAHAH Bye~

And so....
Theres this awkward feeling you get everytime you finish your 1st week of school/work.You tend to reflect on the week which turned out to be quite fun and interesting but after awhile you realize,this is what your going to be doing for the next few weeks/months/years (In my case,the next 1 1/2 years) Can we deal with it?
Most of the time,the 1st week is usually the fastest,then as the weeks past,time seems to drag to a crawl until you realize the repetitive motion is becoming more and more boring......then of course theres the holidays (which for me is 2 WEEKS from now,hah)
So anyway here's my current impression of the subjects at the moment....
Bio-Week-long,all the teacher ever did was brushed through the books,which means Bio is totally up to us to study,virtually no homework
Maths T-Guranteed homework in every lesson,Maths became easier as i did more questions cus the gears in my mind started loosening again =P I dread what is to come....
Chemistry-1st week just involved reviving the classes SPM-era Chemistry skills,cus theyll prove vital in the coming months,struggling with calculations,guranteed homework
Pengajian Am-Only real lesson was today (Friday) learned to draw graphs P.A-style,saw the textbook O.O
MUET-Involves ALOT of talking,practically a free-period where you just sit and mostly listen,thats just about it
Well,weekends here,time to chill,then revise!!

1 WEEK ALONE:3,4,5,6,7 and 8
Today (Sunday) is the last day which i can be deemed ''independent''.The whole week was really great,no one to supervise me,i can do things MY way,all i have to do is maintain the house and attend school (which by the way,was really great accept for those bloody annoying private colleges who want to drain us of cash through their ''seminars'')
Day 3 was ice-breaking with the seniours,they really wanted our arrival to be fun and tried their best to get us comfortable in the school,although some of the juniours were more on the reclusive side,i had fun =)
Day 4 was public-speaking seminar,Mrs.Choong (MUET teacher) gave an epic speech on how to pull-off the perfect speech in front of a crowd.Apparently,speech-giving is an important component of the overall MUET assesment which is why we had the seminar in the first place.Also,the principal,Pn.Zuhairah (which in my opinion,is MUCH MUCH better than En.Mokhtar from SU) was encouraging people to be more outspoken in the school,hence the creation of ''speakers corner''s located at various locations around the school.
And then,just like when i was in SU,those *%#%@ Taylors crap-heads were in the school promoting their cut-throat courses to us again.I mean,dude,when will it all stop?!? I see their friggin stupid logo everywhere in SU on tables,chairs,sign-boards etcetc.Ugh totally disgusts me,whats more they were encouraging my fellow juniours to reconsider Form 6 and opt for any other pre-U course in the June intake!!! SICKENING these people!! Sadly,most of my friends got entangled in their mass-advertising campaign
and were enticed to enroll in the college.
Returning to the speech-stuff,i was made to prepare a speech (along with Ismail from SU as well) on Friday for the closing ceremony.
Day 5 i skipped school because i had to attend a lunch that Chooi Si was so nice enough to invite me to,along with Sue Mae and Min Shen.The food was....okay..i guess,wasnt that fantastic,but i had fun either way.After that the girls and i went to Pyramid to chill.Watching ''The Uninvited'' in the cinema wasnt really a horrifying experience,ive seen worse,but the movie had a nice twist at the end =P
Day 6 was Kuan Zee's birthday,but before that,we had school and the closing ceremony where i gave my speech.Sadly,i wasnt good with the way i presented it in an orderly manner and got carried away,causing a slight delay =P After school,went to Pyramid to meet up with some old faces and we all went to watch ''Angels and Demons'' which was alot like ''National Treasure''.
After the movie,i met a tuition friend of Chooi Si's which shockingly was my long lost ''best friend'' back in the days of primary school,which was long long ago.Seeing Eugene Lim's face brought back all the memories from so long ago and it was really really great to meet up with him again.Looking at the way my life is now,sometimes i laugh and wonder how it turned out this way for the people i know,still,im thankful and happy =D
Day 7 i woke up with a bad feeling in my throat,i cant tell if its fever or flu or whatever but it affected my singing lessons later that day.The whole day i just spent time by myself in Subang until the evening service in City Harvest Church started which i duly attended.That night,my heart filled with anguish and sorrow as Manchester United won their 18th League Championship.Sigh...
3:35 A.M the fever i had was at its worst,i dont know where it came from but now i was so sick i couldnt even sleep properly.Very hell like..
Day 8 was the final day of my ''bachelorness'' lol.Went to church,met up with some good friends,then came back and now im typing this post,telling you sad readers about my sad life which will become even sadder tomorrow,the Form 6 studies commence!! XD

1 WEEK ALONE:1,2
Okay so it seems im pretty fine handling mysefl at the moment,so far so good,the dogs still alive,the cars in good condition and the plants are still living.Great!!
So today (Day 2) was the first day of a week long orientation period for Form 6.It was awkward wearing uniform again but ill get used to it,just didnt like the colour scheme (all what and black shoes:gets dirty fast).After 6 months of rotting i have to abide,once again,to school regulations and rules which i have all but removed from my internal subconciousness.
Today compromised mostly of welcoming speeches and introductions,plus,i saw quite a handful of fellow ex-SU students there which i hope will not transfer and surprisingly,i significant proportion of them (7 in total) compromised of students from my SIGMA class in Subang Utama.What an uplift!!
Anyway,im quite glad that im going back to school again and doing something productive for the future.Just hope i can adjust quickly and balance out everything soon.lol..

HELL looms closer...
Hahaha,well anyway apart from that,my whole family will be going to Cebu (In the Philippines) for (Say it very slowly)....ONE......WHOLE...WEEK!!!
*Rubs hands together,with cheeky grin on his face*
Lol not that it doesnt make any difference because im still free then.(Maybe,because ive been hearing rumours the commencement of Form 6 could be anytime around this month,which i would surely be horrified of)
So lets see:The whole house is mine,TOTAL television access,TOTAL internet access,TOTAL fridge access,TOTAL transportation access and TOTAL BOREDOM once more!?!?! =(
But that doesnt come without it share of responsibilites,i have to:Take care if the stupid dog,water the plants,keep the house clean,find something to eat and of course maintain security of the house.This is awkward.
I remember the last time i was left alone at home,which was last year.My mom and dad went to Bali while my sister was in Singapore with her relatives.Dont ask how i got into such a situation,i forgot =P Anyway,the ordeal lasted 5 days,and 90% of that time i rotted at home terribly and i spent LONG LONG hours on the computer (That caused me to miss something very important the following day) Didnt enjoy it,the loneliness wasnt something i liked very much either,atleast i had my dog and some online friends to teman me =)
So why did i not follow again this year? Well you see,Form 6 news should be out by this month,its only a matter of time,and i have to be around just in case i miss anything or else my whole year would be stalled.I get pissed at the MOE for being so reclusive,why cant they just be professional and more efficient?! Sigh...
Owh well,so yeah next week im free (And single *winks) and shall be gallivanting with my buddies here n dere before i go into hell for 1 1/2 years!
