t’s why it’s called the present.. oh ya.. most impt step taken this yr.. finalli started my part time degree studying..struggling over school fees and grades now.. =X

hmmmm i guess… i’ve written enough.. shall stop here le.. ^_^

Part 3 – (1995 – 1998)
— Strong Bonds —
Yishun Sec.. Sec 1E6.. i participated in Badminton.. almost made it to the School team, but i decided to go to Volleyball.. and I din regret at all! coz it brought me some very good times too! built up some very strong friendships.. gals we hav Meisi, Yishan, Ruyi, Audrey, Lingmei and myself.. haa.. 6 of us.. formed the volleyball sch team.. cannot imagine, whole sch team in a class.. 2E7!! hahaa who can beat us at inter-class volleyball tournaments?! wahahah.. =p my greatest class ever.. hahaa.. and we realli represented sch to take part in competitions wor.. but aiya lousy la.. no coach no anythin.. we juz lost after 2-3rounds.. keke.. but then.. it’s stil a valuable experience! we been thru alot alot of trainings though.. reali tough trainings given by the senior volleyball players.. running, pumping, jumping, etc..

Yishan brought us to know her family, her relatives.. her cousins.. her friends.. Xiaohui, Jocelyn, Ah Bee, Ah Ge, Zhixiong, Ah Boon… widened my circle of frenz greatly!! everyday after sch, we all go over to her hse.. and play volleyball at her void deck.. we frequently hang out ard there.. occasionally visit Jurong Bird Park, Mandai Zoo, Sentosa, Sembawang Shoppin Centre pineapple rice.. and held countless bbqs and outings together.. we will sure celebrate together any special events.. birthdays, xmas, new year..etc. Until NOW, we still keep in touch..=)

— Chicken Pox, Gastric Pains —
had all of them in Sec 2! suffereed greatly.. coz i missed school badly.. bein “locked” at home during chicken pox, even had to move to grandma hse.. coz din wana spread to my bro at home.. during the week of gastric pain.. it was deadly painful.. u cant imagine it.. i was at the midst of volleyball training one Monday mornin.. then i suddenly puked.. and then turned so pale.. and cold.. the period of waitin for my dad to come fetch me home was untahanably painful at the sch library!

— Friends, No Friend —
Of coz there were times where you have closer frenz.. but oso sure there will be times where things happen, u drift apart with this and got closer with d other.. childish acts and falling in and out between frenz always happen in sec. sch.. but i was sure.. none of them ever seen me flare up.

— The Best Class Ever —
hmm.. 2E7.. my favourite classmates.. we were the most united.. most sporting.. most fun.. ahaa.. took part in sports day and be the greatest winner.. every event, u will see at least someone frm our class on the Gold/Silver/Bronze.. hahaa.. our class had oso the most popular guys.. ahaa.. the whole big group of them.. playin soccer all the time.. before/after sch and during recess.. the gals next door will always come borrowing txtbooks frm the guys.. hahaa..

i remember our fav. english teacher.. Miss Lim.. first we all made her cry.. and then whole class queued up to go to the staff room and apologize to her.. shocked her to laughter immediately!! and we had very good relations frm then on! end of the yr, we all did a huge puzzle for her~~

another teacher.. who united all of us as one.. was Mdm Toh.. our form teacher! we got soo united juz to make her days difficult.. hahaa.. at Arts lesson, they painted her chair with RED watercolour juz to stain her skirt.. i even remember one of them came to ask me which red to choose.. hahaa.. and another time, they used penknife to slit the black bag for collecting water cans @ arts room.. as she walk, the cans dropped out.. =D.. hmmm wad else.. oh.. during Chinese lesson.. one of them go ask her some questions, while d other will pour those eraser droppings onto her hair.. she din even notice at all!

hahaa.. we had many great teachers.. Mr Anith!(Greatest History teacher cum Displine Master who doted us alot alot).. Mdm Azizah (Geography – a very strict and nice teacher), Mdm Tong(Home Econs – the teacher whom flips gals’ skirts up highly to show u wad is Hemstring -.-), Mr Tan(another History teacher who ‘allowed’ us to cheat with History txtbooks directly beneath the test papers…-.-), Mrs Anshad (Science teacher who doted us too..)…

hahaa.. we all held a bbq and chalet.. the whole big class cramped in ONE chalet room.. hahaa.. we played games, pillowfights, told chain-stories at nite.. the guys even went to the lobby to sleep at the middle of the nite.. i stil remember! i was cramping and shivering at the door on the floor! shld hav followed them to lobby ! these fun lovin times.. one big family.. mi as the lou dao, jingjing as my son, tracy as my lao po, meisi and lingmei as jingjing’s wives.. i will never forget them.. forever kept in my memories..

— Splitting Up —
But Sec2 ended, we all had split to different classes.. my bro din wan me to choose Commerce class.. haa.. and I landed in Arts class.. lucky I had Mdm Lung, my another fav. chinese form teacher.. she reali treated me well too.. she sent me and a few of the students frm other class to a 星期五周报 编辑比赛, we enjoyed the process fully.. haha.. in my Sec.4 class.. almost none of them are keen to study.. I made sure I had to be doubly discplined to study in such an environment.. i was more interested in Arts but be practical, I knew Arts couldnt go far in this sch.. might even fail.. so i chose Food and Nutrition.. had to learn to cook.. haha..

Although i had some nice frenz in Sec 3 and 4.. but once the bell rings, be it recess time or before/after lessons.. I am always with my 2E7 bunch of frenz.. hahaa.. we did continued with our volleyball sessions too.. it was oso back then i got my Panda nick from dear jun.. :-/ haha.. coz at tat time, the guys joined us for volleyball trainings too.. and our friendship carried on as strong for the rest of the 2 years..

— One Shocking News —
There was once i heard a shocking news.. Jocelyn.. Yishan’s cousin.. she met with an accident.. a serious one. The side effects are stil there until NOW. Everyday, we made trips to the K.K.Hospital to accompany her. During Pre-lims.. we brought books to hospital to study together. The nurses there could recognise all of us too. I was really shocked when i saw her.. coz she was in coma.. like dramas, we had to speak to her alot, play music, and gradually she woke up.. but she cant speak.. we had to tok to her alot.. made her response with her fingers.. This was a really shockin experience.. that i rather not have.. coz until now, i dunno how she is.. can she speak already? the last time i saw her 2yrs ago, she still cant… =(

— ‘O’ Levels —
before Os.. suddenly received a letter frm Jiesheng! to my surprise.. reali happy to see tat during tat period of studying.. haha.. tat was oso when he got back in touch with me and peiyu.. but i onli had a tot tat time.. this JS.. no nid study wan ar.. so near to exams le.. stil got mood to write letters.. ahahaa.. well, i worked hard for it.. and i’m satisfied with my results in d end.. well, i din reali get the best grades.. but it was great improvement for me already. From young, my dad teaches me.. 对得起自己就好，尽力就好。 Besides English that got me a D7 (darn..=X).. i got A1 for Chi, A2 for History.. B3 for all the rest of the subjects.. I myself cant believe it too.. coz my maths, chem and geography werent good tattime.. managed to get B3 i oredi v.happy le.. haa.. Mr Anith did as promised.. brought us all out for a meal at Hyatt Hotel.. hehee..

— JC Life —
Hmmm i went to have some fun at the 1st 2-3 mths at YJC.. i got into same class as Siyin and Peiyan again! Renuion since Pri 4!! We really had some CRAZY moments at YJ.. coz to me, i din even consider studying there for long-term.. i juz wana hav fun and have a taste of JC life.. we formed our “Dong Li Di Tie”.. sang our way thru the 3months.. sang during P.E, sang in the hall.. sang basically
everywhere.. hahaa.. they reminded me recently.. I brought alotta laughter to them back then.. they can still rememeber!! but i myself dun remember any of the jokes I said..ahaa..

— Seperation & Decisions —
End of Sec Four.. is another seperation i’ve to go thru.. Our group of six broke up into 2.. bcoz of some misunderstandings between few of them.. sad to say, this knot was not untied till date. The volleyball team is dismissed, coz 6 of us will nv stand on the same side of the court again. it was another round of decision making for myself.. my own future.. Poly/JC? To wait for another year to re-take English or to go ahead risk to Poly but have to make sure I get a C6 and above for retake. anyway, I decided to go Ngee Ann Poly for an IT Diploma.. It kinda decided the path I was going to take.. see till now.. I’m stil in this line.. =D

Before entering poly, was a period of part-timing.. hahaa worked at departmental stores like Oriental, and Seiyu.. earned myself some pocket money.. heehee.. coz from
young, I dun like to take money from parents to buy anything.. I prefer to earn it with my own hands.. hahaa.. and actuali since Secondary days, I’ve always wana take up vacation jobs, but my dad din allow.. and it wasnt easy to find jobs when u’re stil below 16.. ahaa..

— Stepping into POLY —
fortunately, i got to know a grp of v.good frenz in poly too.. Peipei, me, Janice, GL, John and Shaun.. 6 of us.. we always stay together and do tutorials, chit chat, eat, go out together… i remember during one CNY, we had an agreement.. we all dressed up nicely, and went out for a nice dinner.. and also we went to each others’ house to 拜年.. i always remember how shaun calls me shifu during our maths tutorials.. and then we had lotsa fun together.. tokin and laffing abt SuperSunday.. always singin the 金包银 together.. haaa.. and i dun remember why.. but i always shout say i’m going to give birth liao! then they all will laff and fall to the grounds.. hahaa.. reali farnie memories..

tat was all in the first part of my poly life.. towards the 2nd part, totally changed.. i mixed ard with bunny, calvin, kevin, lawrence, eddie and donald.. coz they really acccompanied me at times.. every weekend.. we will meet out at suntec/orchard.. i’m d only gal ard.. well, i guess they almost treated me as a guy.. =X they will go ahead and play CS, while i sit by their sides.. and we will hang out together all the times.. this grp of guys reali bought me alotta laughter.. anytime anywhere.. most memorable.. Mr Bunny.. his Millenia Walk incident.. Unforgettable!! =D to date, we are stil gd buddies.. though most of them are stil in aussie.. but whenever they’re back, we will stil meet up..

…Coming up.. “My First Heartbreak”

Part 2 (1993 – 1994)
— First Turning Point —
i always tot IF.. and IF ONLY.. i could speak out to say i din wana leave my home at all.. why din i speak out? again.. i juz wana let my dad be assured i’m being taken care of.. i juz din wana be a burden to my dad at tat kinda time.. so i juz listened to him to let me go stay at aunts’ hse.. but for the rest of my Pri4.. Peiyu’s family helped out alot.. they took care of me after sch.. i will go back with Peiyu to her hse together.. do homework together.. eat together.. then until at nite my dad wil fetch me.. this only lasted rest of my Pri 4.. at Pri 5, i was transferred out.. i remembered.. my last day.. was at the hall of naval base.. i din really bid farewell to all.. i guess many of them wil find it quite strange why i suddenly disappeared..

I went to Pei Tong Pri Sch.. at Clementi.. every weekend, my dad wil drive me back home.. and sunday nite drive me back again.. during tat time.. i drifted away frm my family.. coz we dun stay together.. we dunno wads gg on in each others’ lives.. i onli noe.. my bro was in Taiwan for NS.. and we always write letters.. but my poor dad.. he’s all alone.. he muz hav gone thru alotta bad times.. but i cant do anything.. i din do anythin either..

why did i call this my turning point? bcoz i think this period moulded my present character greatly.. i think i lead a totally different lifestyle over there.. from being the youngest, i became the elder one.. from havin an elder bro.. i suddenly had a sister and younger bro.. HuiQiong and Si’an.. from a chinese speaking environment.. i started listening to Teochew.. instead of sleepin early at nite.. and stayin behind doors of my home.. the ppl there.. they meet downstairs everynite.. my aunt wil gather with the neighbours and those aunties-frenz.. at void deck.. while we.. the kids.. will group together and play badminton, catching, volleyball, etc.. hahaa.. then go home and bathe then sleep.. hahaa.. of coz i faced quarrels and scoldings over there.. but i know it best.. my aunt treated me very good.. reali nice.. everythin she gave her kids, she will give me too.. i stil remember my uncle bought back a few blue armchairs oneday.. and i even drew 5 small hearts with liquidpaper on the seat to differentiate my chair.. hahaa.. Huiqiong’s drew 1 heart.. hahaa.. so farnie.. the chair is still going strong at her hse now!! hahaa.. well.. though my aunt treated me very well.. but i felt bad.. coz sometimes.. i can tell.. she scolds her kids but not me.. back then at tat moment.. i guessed her kids muz hav hated me.. haha.. but we had more good times together too.. Huiqiong and i were juz like sisters.. ppl even say we look alike.. haaa… maybe bcoz her mum and my dad were twins? hahaa.. hmmm we sleep on mattress in a room together.. basically did many things together.. yea she reminded me.. we fight too.. hahaa.. even though we are in different classes.. well.. we did silly things like writing dairies together.. then exchanging them to read after tat.. ahhaaa..

but of coz theres a period where i turned abit ‘rebellious’.. din wana go home straight after sch.. but i still know my limits.. i mixed with my new frenz there.. got to know some frenz frm sec. sch.. while i was stil in Pri.6.. hahaa.. but the lucky thing is.. i got to noe some real nice friends and teachers(i onli remember Mrs Wong and Mr Cai) there.. hence lucky i din lead to astray.. i merely got more active.. coz i joined basketball.. hahaa.. the coach (Mr Cai) was my chinese teacher too.. he doted me alot alot.. he was biased.. but towards me.. hahaa.. i was allowed to go off early for his remedial lessons.. so tat i can prepare for the basketball session after tat.. he even made me the captain.. hahahaha but then.. all this was juz for fun la.. we nv took part in any competitions.. the most onli within sch compound.. ahahaha yea.. i still remember.. the day i took BCG injection.. everyone say how pain how pain it was.. but i din feel a single thing.. coz i juz lost a basketball match.. =D lose liao stil so happy.. -.-

hahaa.. oh theres somethin else i remembered.. Peiyu.. for the first time.. she wrote me a letter to my aunt’s hse! ahaha.. attached her own id-size photo.. and asked me how was my life.. when i received tat letter.. i felt warm.. truely warm at heart.. really.. duno how to describe tat feeling.. frm then, during weekends when i’m home, she wil pop over my hse too.. haha..

it was a totally differnt lifestyle i lead-ed.. oso duno how i did it.. how come i can adapt so well in such a different environment? though adapted very well.. but i stil longed to go home…

— Back Home —
Finalli.. PSLE was over.. mayb i played too much.. hahaa.. so i din achieve a v.high aggregate.. onli 210pts.. can only bring me back to Yishun Sec.. i cant go to anywhere like Cedar Girls.. the top choice my bro put for me.. hahaha but aniwae lucky i din get in there oso.. keke.. studyin in Yishun Sec, good thing is.. finally.. i can come back and sleep my very own bed.. my very own home.. Home Sweet Home.. i stepped into another ‘Era’ of my life..

… Coming up.. “Old School Days”

hmmmm.. Life Story.. is it a too-heavy name to quote? hahaa.. I’ve only lived the first 23yrs of my life! let’s try not to compare with others.. where u can tell me they even have to worry abt 3 meals a day.. but lets just isolate my own story this 23yrs.. to most of the ppl.. mayb.. 1st few yrs of their life.. will be a happy childhood and the kid sure duno wads gg on in life.. yea.. i vaguely remember every single part in my first 10 yrs la.. but for me.. at the 10th year, i went thru my first greatest pain in my life..

Part 1 – (1982 to 1992)

— Vague Memory —
haa.. i remembered at a point of time, they put me up at someone else’s home.. think bcoz both my parents are workin.. at that hse.. i cant remember much.. coz i dun like gg there at all.. the family had 2 kids.. the mother din allow me to watch tv unless i finish my dinner.. and i will hav to eat in the kitchen.. until evening time, my parents come and fetch me.. tink tattime dad drivin a car or taxi leh.. then home we go! hahahaa.. aniwae.. at amk hse, i remembered having lotsa fun with my bro.. we played “teacher-and-student” games.. i realli cannot remember exactly what name is our school name.. but i remember we had real report cards drawn! and other than tat.. he will always play with his transformers.. and his ballpoint pens to fight with each other.. haa.. and his own invented game.. using calculator to play tennis..and wad do i play with during tat time?? haaa… oh.. tat will be after my pri 1.. oneday.. i tink i juz plucked a tooth at the sch clinic.. my mum fetched me home.. she got me a barbie doll!! hahaaa.. my very first barbie doll.. followed by the other 3 dolls.. and one Ken.. hohoho.. my collection.. until now stil in storeroom.. =D
