as reality slowly sinks in, i finally realise that never again will i see everyone as a batch together.
i'm honestly starting to miss Catholic High.
i'm sure cat high students of sec4'05 can relate to these.
things that i will always remember:
-the 3.2 million dollars moe didn't want to loan us.
-endless fundraising.
-the lousy primary school campus we had to use for sec 1.
-the spanking new school we had in sec 2.
-the annual ang pows during cny for the school.
-daily morning devotions.
-Mr Lee Hak Boon.
-his familiar "good morning gentlemen!" speeches.
-Mr Toh Chin Leong.
-oh, the people who cowered in front of him.
-WONDERFUL morning prefect duties.
[which includes youjin & michael sleeping in the toilets and youjin chasing aaron around the toilets and random losers hiding in the toilets but thats another story for another day =).]
*thanks jin for the reminder. :D
-lots of other fun and stupid stuff that jin and i did.
-mr lee's neverending inspirational speeches.
-the catholic high vision.
-the thick book "我们的感情故乡" on cat high's history,
which we read till our heads spun from the sheer number of chinese words;
all because they said there would be a test on it which would be graded;
but in the end,
there was none.
-they gave another copy to us on grad night.
-the spacious toilets.
-the beautification of the school:waterfalls,ponds,flowers,landscaping-the works.
-being taken out of our class and put into another class of muggers just for higher chinese lessons just so that students from another class could go to our original class for lessons.
-struggling to make any sense of the situation.
-being told that they couldnt do anything about it.
-the way the chinese teachers told the b3 students that our standard just wasnt there.
-the way they forced the subject dropping forms on us.
-the way we resisted them: i never regretted it.
(jon wong, clement and mingfeng if you ever see this, we did it.)
[all throughout my sec3&4 years, i somehow failed every other compo marked by yuanlaoshi]
-yuan telling us: b3 for express chinese=c6 for higher chinese.
-getting b3 for higher chinese eventually.
-having 3 prelims.
-chs npcc 27th batch.
-npcc trainings+soccer/basketball/tennis after training.
-black knights.
-slacking in the npcc store just talking rubbish.
-my prefect buddies.
-2-7 & 4-2.
-limpy, jiawei, darrell; classmates for 4 years.
-the rice stall: extra rice with vegetables, omelette and meat.
-iced milo.
-recess duty.
-morning gate duty.
-the latecomers.
-numerous hair checks: sorry but i was always amongst the ones checking you guys. :D
-numerous attire checks: ditto.
-green nametags.(but i ordered already! there, my receipt!)
-low pants low socks.(pull higher!)
-the cool people who got to wear suspenders.
-the hip people who got to sleep on the bed outside the g.o.
-senseless juniors and peers trying to argue with me about the difference between ankle socks and ankle-length socks.
-school ties.(go bookshop buy!)
-the change we initiated from green shorts to green bermudas.
-the era of the ch merchandise.
-ch socks, relatively cool ch sports shoes, ch bottle, ch everything.
-pity the shoes spoilt so darn quickly that we went through them so darned quickly. =(
-primary school section canteen's char kuay teow.
-sculpture and art piece galore that the school became.
-the dunkable primary school basketball hoops that we were eventually banned from using because they spoilt too often.
-mr chen sleeping, erm resting during lessons. (I was just resting my eyes!)
-shawn and jin kahn getting caught taking pictures of him doing just that.

-kokky videos+magic shows and whatnot. =DDDDD
-cat high's favourite cheer: gong jiao! oi! gong jiao! oi! gong jiao! aeybah!
-the friggin' cool chsnpcc cheer we loved.
