Dear Diary,
In the segment of my life, i shall share with you my primary school experiences. 6 years of compulsory education or else face jail term.( I knew how to Swim already by the age of 5 hahaha suckers). My coach? Hes GAME OF crocodile was HIM chasing me or else he would drown me! I hated that so much till i could swim fast. Well hes just some big built man my mother met while taking me to the pool at my grandma place. AND NO THEY DIDNT HAVE AN AFFAIR. Back then it was filled with memories of the old MAC computers that were so troublesome, CHEAP FOOD that cost less than a dollar but most importantly it was about the first batch of friends that till now i still am close to. PPL like Yinxian, Yanling, Samuel, Pauline etc I love you guys ^^
"Pictures u take with ur Camera wont last forever, but if u take a Snapshort with your heart, that memory becomes forever"
I attended 2 primary schools, my first half of my primary one year i spent it at Fuhua Primary school when i was still staying at Jurong. The uniform was disgusting though, BROWN! and the school badge was printed on my shirt which u must be blind not to see it from a distance. I remember my dad fetches me to school every morning and me waiting for my dad to pick me up everyday after school since i was in the afternoon class. Not much i can remember though, i forgot to bring my school bag once (i left the house without it -.-) and the assembly wasnt in any parade square, i think those are for the older kids cause i never really seen them. We primary one children lined up in the corridoors on the ground floor, i remember the rectangular beach tiles clearly in my mind.
And of course there was Clara. She was my partner assigned to me. She was the first girl i ever held hands ( it was complusory ). I remember her wearing pink glasses and always carrying with her a pink water bottle, her fair complexion( she was eurasian?) and her bubbly smile. Come to think of it, theres no place she wont go without me haha, She has a crush on me maybe o.O She lined up with me every morning, always making her way next to me although we could sit with anybody else, i always had to wait for her outside the toilet offering the hold on to her water bottle and wallet everytime. And there was this once while waiting i walked to the near by canteen to get some jelly or something that i returned to find poor Clara crying, she said she couldnt find me. I kind of enjoyed her company though, she wasnt talkative, all she did was make little comments and let her eyes and smile did all the talking.
Well the day came when my family had to move house again, this time moving from the west to the south, at Bukit Purmei RD. Moving house meant moving school as well, i was admitted to Radin Mas Primary School but i got the chance to say my last good bye when my father brought me along to collect my report book. I had to say my last goodbye infront of the class, thats when i caught her eyes, I remember the sad look on Clara's face as i glanced pass her. Another memorable moment was Micheal, one of the more outspoken one in the class standing up and saying goodbye, i was very touched, i cried on my way out, leaving behind short but sweet memories, leaving behind Clara. She was the first girl to ever have such innocence feelings for me, hope shes doing alright now.
I started out in the class of 1C in Radin Mas, my school was just directly opposite my house. I shall not touch on much during the first few years though, not very exciting haha, just me being naughty and mischievious in school. I remember during primary 1 this DAMN CHINESE TEACHER SCOLDED ME AND SAID I WAS GOIN TO BE A CONSTRUCTION WORKER! i cried LOL, it was pretty harsh at that time. I remember my favorite class was CHINESE!! WOOT CHINESE, well not for the language of course, it was for the ghost stories from my chubby male chinese teacher. Tales of the haunted Radin Mas and more just captured my attention everytime and I am certain everyone else in my class feel the same way, not because he was actually taking up lesson time for his ambition in storytelling. Oh and i remember Stanley, yup he was my parnter in crime, we always got into trouble and had to stand outside the office or something. We competed in almost everything and he came out with the idea of drawing lines on the LONG rectangular TABLES we sit on to separate YOUR SPACE FROM MINE.
Upper Primary was much more fun, this was the time that i was starting to get to know more of my friends and myself. I found out that girls are much taller than us guys because of puberty haha, i was quite short then. I joined the basketball team though there was no competition, my lust for basketball was due to my father, he introduced me the game since i was around 4, he ALWAYS USE his BIG BUTT to block me from snatching the BALL, CHEATER! From then on i always had a part in any ball related competition. Well i cant really write out all the friends i made from the class of 4a,5a and 6a. Radin Mas had a morning and afternoon class but i switched from afternoon to morning cause of my brother, u see primary 5 was fixed at only afternoon classes due to Primary 6 being also fixed at morning (WAIT WAIT I MAYBE WRONG ON THE TIME I SWITCHED CLASSES). Switching class was fun, i could make more friends,i was the few that actually made friends from both 4a and 4aa.And i could be in the same class as my Couson, yup it seems that my whole paternal side of the family had their children send to Radin Mas, PPL DIDNT BELIEVE that Calvin WAS my couson lol, we spent every Sunday PLAYING soccer in the void deck and basketball in the court with all my other cousons and my brother.
There was always rivary between the afternoon and the morning classes of the same standard, like (4a,4aa. 5a,5b. 6a,6b), those from 4aa mostly went to 5b and 6b while i and the original batch of 4a ppl went over to 5a and 6a. We competed IN STUDIES LIKE CRAZY, taking turns to slap each other in the face after each major examination. I must say my primary 4 year was my best, i TOP SCIENCE IN THE WHOLE DAMN LEVEL!!!! YES I DID I TOPPED IT AND I WAS AMONG TOP 10!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
*ahem
But the top overall was always the same ppl, SO BORING, there were always Leon, Samuel, Irene blah blah, i can only remember those as they were from my original batch of 3a that went up to 5a and 6a. Back then getting 70s WAS HELL, 80s was average and disappointing and 90s doesnt guarrantee u a spot in the top 10. Being in the best class has its pressure.
Ok i shall STOP now lol, its getting pretty long, stay tune though for more on my PRIMARY 5 and 6 days, THE PSLE and the women of my nightmares at that time, MY MOTHER T_T. Also more on the girls i liked hahaha till then tatatatata
Shut the Fuck up And listen -3:03 PM
