I never stopped thinking about our wonderful class... More like a family to me. And i believe all of us think the same way too. This class is really something. We became so close that we invite each other into our lives so open-heartedly. I have never felt this way anywhere else before. :) Decided to write this to u guys... A memory lane. :) Forgive me if there's mistakes. Hehe all according to my memory.
Remember the first day of college? 3rd January 2005. We were all so so quiet. Except for three people, V Co, James and Jane. Everyone found V Co and James really annoying i bet. Haha V Co seem to be the know-it-all-pretending-to-be-friendly-actually-mean guy on the first day. James looked as though he was trying to show off and announce to the whole world that he was Head Prefect in his school! And Jane kept asking the teachers questions, dunno if u guys noticed it though. I thought she was someone really kiasu or something. Hahaha. And I remember. I sat next to David and Tharma. I was late for class... So me right. Haha, anyway, David was like... Hello, I'm David and shook hands with me. And i said, hello, i'm Ailing and smiled. We didn't talk the whole time. After class, i saw him walking down the stairs and asked him, hey, do i sit with u tomorrow too? And he gave me this unfriendly look and said, errmm whatever la. I was like... Oh my goodnesssss! This class sucks. I remember myself complaining to Ruying and sister that my class is full of stuck-ups.
Next day, classes started. I sat next to Joanne for the next few days. She was like SO SO quiet. Tried talking to her but all she would say was yes or no. Hahahaha so unlike the real her. :p I remember Chemistry class. We were all freaking out when Mr Yap asked us to copy down all the ways the atoms were arranged and structured, the certain degrees and stuff. Because of that, we all started talking! Which was really great. And remember our first ESL class? Miss Geetha played Where is the Love and made us sing it! Everyone were like... Wow, this is the coolest English lesson ever. But all of us were so so wrong... Hahahahah. Informational domain to argumentative essays! The first few days during breaks i never sat with any of u guys, i looked for my friends...
I remember the first person who was really friendly to me was Jane. She was like... U were from Samad? Oh i know Samad scouts! I'm in guides... U know her, asking me if i know this guy that guy. Hahahaha. Then she introduced me to Chermayn... And from that moment on, i always sat together with them. :) We got on real well and everyone started finding their gangs in class. The whole class always sat together during breaks. We would pull the tables and chairs and combine them, making sure it's all connected. :)
The first birthday celebration we had was for Mui How and Nishan. V Co came up with the idea that we should celebrate everyone's birthdays every month, which means one month one cake. We all didn't really know them yet at that time, especially Mui How, who seem like someone who was really quiet and shy. Nishan was like the cool handsome and mysterious guy. We bought a cake during break and brought it to class and sang a birthday song for them. We could see their happy and surprised faces... :)
The first thing which made us even closer was when we celebrated V Co's birthday. He was one of the few people in class which everyone knew at that time. February the 18th. We all decided to celebrate it for him and surprise him. We all planned everything -escort him to Asia and some of us went to buy cake for him. But obviously, the plan didn't go that well cause it was SO obvious. Haha but we had fun man! We forced him to take the candle off with him mouth and some guys behind pushed his head into the cake! And we were like oh nooooo we wanted to eat the cake! Hahahaha we had a great time. We started knowing each other better... :) And Valentine's day! V Co made muffins for all of us... Each person one. So sweet la. :)
James was the first guy who volunteered to do all the photostating and attendance and he even got all our contacts and birthdays. Most of us found that irritating at the beginning, but later, we all loved him so so much. He never once complained all the workload, never asked us for any help at all... :) He was the best Class Representative ever. He got along so well with all the teachers, especially Miss Geetha - hahahhahaha he would sing love songs to her and tell her all his stories. Goodness. My first few impressions of James - such a funny and crazy guy. I remember him telling all of us and Miss Geetha... About how close he was with his teachers in school. He could even tell his teacher that when she comes near, he could feel the earth trembling. Hahahahhaha. Such memories man.
I remember i started hanging out with the guys - Alex, James and V Co if i'm not mistaken after college... After the cafeteria was opened. Alex always took pictures of me with my phone or his phone without me knowing! Hahahhaa and we used to talk and talk and talk as though we had all the time in the world. It was so nice! :) I remember we used to go to The Web and wrote testimonials for each other... And James wrote that the first impression she had on me was i was a very quiet girl but after one month... I was more aggresive than a tiger! And he said it was a compliment! What kinda compliment is that man? Hahahahaa. V Co wrote that when i meet anyone, i would greet the person with a cute smile that makes anyone feel very comfortable, and i have a voice of an angel. I was so so touched... :) Thank u V Co. I love u! :D Alex wrote that i always have a charming smile when anyone sees me. I was so so happy... :) I hope all these views about me never changed till today. Hehehe.
I remember hearing James and V Co singing Disney songs at the back of class... What song was that again? I think it was from Lion King right? I was so excited. I went and join them! We were happily singing in class... And i felt so happy that there are people in this class who loves singing Disney songs, just like me. From that day on, Disney choir was formed. Hehehe. Su Via joined too! I was shocked someone who looked so cool and punk like her would love Disney songs! But we had a great time, didn't we? Between classes, walking around campus and breaks we would be singing. :) Remember our song? Still remember how it goes? Look at the sky so blue, with the tears in my eyes for u, u left without a clue, i don't think i can make it through. It was supposed to be dedicated to Peng Loon right.. Sigh.
The first party we had was the barbecue at my home. 9th April 2005. I remember Su Via and V Co got lost for over 2 hours! Anyway Su Via bought most of the stuff to barbecue... Her vegetarian meat balls, vegetarian squids, vegetarian chicken meat, vegetarian etc. Hahahaha remember how hard was it to swallow her vegetarian squids? Hehehe my mum cooked most of the dishes and u guys were complaining that everything was spicy! Hahaha. :) Oh and Ching Mei's delicious blueberry tarts!! I miss it so so much!! It was the first time i put my shoulder around Su Via to take photos... Hahah could see her awkward face! Thank u Su Via, u were the one who made V Co and me good friends in a way... :D
Oh. I remember V Co comforting me when i got dengue fever... I looked SO SO ugly mannn. Rashes whole body, even my face! Sigh. He kept telling me i looked ok.. Haha. And i remember Alex telling me his experience of dengue fever - he celebrated his birthday or was it Christmas in the hospital? And Mr Yap said he kena twice somemore. Hahahah. And worst of all, i had a Maths quiz, and i got like 7/20! Sigh really bad man.
Bee Ling was the girl which made everyone so close... With her extremely lovable character.. She's like the princess of the class, which everyone sayangs. Although we LOVED teasing her and making her cry sometimes but we all love her so so much. She was loud and she was the kind who didn't want to be left out in anything. She's just adorable! :)
Think i'll continue this in a few days time... :)
