went out for dinner with 6b'02 people yesterday @ J8's Cartel.
turnout was quite good and it was great fun catching up with them.
BUT.
before that, i had hockey in the frickin' heavy rain plus physical training.
although training was rather fun(no?), i was drenched INSIDE OUT.
luckily, i had this tiny towel with which enabled me to bathe, with the help of edwin's toiletries.
[he's this ex-cat high guy from the red nametag batch who was formerly from nj hockey too-he's cool]
thanks dude haha.
zach and huijun escaped from the sports talk(which we decided not to go to)early to leave for dinner.
thank you, 156;
oh mother of all buses.
we waited more than 45 minutes for the stupid bus-which never came.
we gave up and decided to take a cab to j8, which took like 10 minutes or less.
dammit.
Balloon love.

It's A Girl!
apparently, melissa, huijun and shihui were so touched by our seksy cards, flowers and stuffed stuffs that they decided to return the favour.
by giving zach, jin and i ginormous and erm cool(?) balloons and cards proclaiming our seksiness.
such was the case that they were rather eye-catchingly large and seemed more like they belonged to female toddlers.
or maybe its just me.
probably not, because jin wrapped his gorgeous barbie one in 4 layers of shopnsave plastic bags.
(more pics next time)
CNY "Celebrations".
chinese new year "celebrations" at nj were pathetic.
or at least it seemed to me.
having to take part in the calligraphy competition, we stoned and calligraphed our way through a good part of the morning in the canteen-actually, through the whole morning.
tell me how stupid that sounds.
stoned around.
and returned to cat high.
crashed the celebrations in the hall,
met and chatted with some teachers and friends.
thanks mrs chew(formerly ms tan) for your red packet! =)

Hall.
and oh yes, cat high's hall does feel so much better than nj's.
went out to subway for lunch with jin after that.
subway=love.

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.

-chs npcc 27th batch.
-npcc trainings+soccer/basketball/tennis after training.
-black knights.
-slacking in the npcc store just talking rubbish.

-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.
