jY - Nostalgia
Stepping back into D2SR1 after my last lesson with Mr Ali (Civics/GP Tutor), overwhelmed me wif feelings so unbearable it just made me want to cry. The nostalgia... the memories of the 1st 3 months we had together... the feelings of knowing that i'm no longer a permanant "member" of this class anymore, but merely just a "visitor" from time to time. Seemingly unwanted by the school, from the way they put it, that they "already did us a very big favour by letting us back into RJ arts"...
Warning.... this is going to a rather sad sad sad sad blog post. Read it at your own risk. Lots of feelings and thoughts will be "voiced" out here...
It all began with Orientation during the first week of school, when we actually all met each other for the very first time. At first i thought, wow this class is like, how weird, with drunkards like Tim and Zul, greedy pple like Nina and myself who eat alot and dont get fat, somebody who can just "squeeze" her face and make herself red, like Dione, and things like that. I can still remember our 1st meeting with Mr Reeves as well. All of us were actually so entertained by him, and could just feel that he was going to make a great Civics tutor, which is SOO true even up till now. He sure had difficulty pronouncing most of our names, mine especially.
Quite memorably, i can still remember who was the first person i got aquainted with. That's Rich. "What a nice and cute guy", i tot to myself, and i was right. It turned out that over the past 3 months, i came to treat him as my best friend. Not sure, or rather, i doubt it's a mutual thing, but thats not the point. The point is that i felt that we were very close friends in those past 3 months, and could actually share anything and everything with him. Unfortunately, well, i guess thats all in the past. Obviously there'll be far less interaction between us from now on, and thats just something inevitable that we all have to face... sadly. Rich is like, the sweetest guy i've ever known (hope i'm not sounding gay or anything), BUT ITS TRUE!! I'm sure all of you would agree with me 200%. He writes cards for us, helps us out whenever possible, and is just generally extremely nice. Nicer than me even. And i tot i was the nicest person ever... haha... ego ego... Anyway, thanks for being almost always there for me Rich... you're one friend i'll never forget for the rest of my life, cos a name like yours is kinda hard to forget anyways. heh...
Next there's Nina. Another person whom i'm gotten realli close to at the later part of the 3 months, after she came to know of a certain someting *nudge nudge*. I just love the way Nina reacts to everything. She never fails to make me smile or laugh on those thats that i was PMSing. However hard i try to just ignore everybody and well, be moody, she'll somehow manage to make me burst out in laughter or a smile, which just makes me continue smiling and being happier for the rest of the day. She seems to be a female replica of Rich in some sense. Hah... both of them are, in my opinion, my closest friends in 13A... Nina, for one, never seems to get angry at me no matter how much i seem to be bullying her, like when i put the icy-cold metal bottle at her neck. She'll just go something like, "JUYUAN!!! STOP IT I TELL YOU!!!", in a somewhat hilarious exclamation, not even considered a scream. And she'll just start smiling or laughing. Thats Nina. She always seems to be smiling and screaming in laughter most of the time. Then again, i'm usually the one who cause her to scream or smile in some form of horror or another. Nina... stay smiley kae? The class is lively and always active mainly becos of your constant activity and noise. Dont let that die =]
Then there is THE Bridget. The star of our class, and hence, our blog address. Everybody just loves her. Loves to say "SH-T" alot tho. Quite crude! Heh, but hilarious nonetheless. She never fails to cause the class to burst into uncontrollable fits of laughter with her lame jokes and funny (facial) reactions to questions or statements said/directed to her. Her blur looks are like, the epitomy of comedy. Remember the "Tyranosaurus Rex" thing that she said? Not forgetting the "Vindow Viperz". She doesnt need to MAKE people laugh. People just laugh. She never fails to just lighten up my days, just like she did today when i met her in the holding room for the Council Interview today. Stay funny! =P
Timothy... heh... seemingly in the same boat as me. He most probably misses the class as much as i do, if not, MORE than i do. He seems to be quite an emotional guy to me, and empathic as well. Altho, well, probably werent considered close in the 3 months, but he too, is one of those who adds life and laughter to 13A. If i'm not wrong, he was the one who decided to lock Miss Lui out of class for our very first Maths Tutorial! Quite hilarious i must say... BUT MEAN!! EVIL!! Haha. Fun nonetheless.
Also there is Dione, the one who pokes pple wif a sharp, fencing, thingie, wadever it's called. Smiles alot most of the time as well. I dun recall seeing anyday on which she was sad/angry or anything of that sort. Right? Hmm, i'm probably the only one who goes on PMSes in class, but tts besides the point. Anyway, DIONE!! YOU have strong arms! I still remember our arm-wrestling match. My biceps hurt like hell when i got home. You are one really strong girl. Heh. And i also remember you offering to help me crayy my MahhJong set to Mark's house for our senior-junior class party thingie... A pity i wont be able to join such parties wif u all again, or rather, it just wouldnt feel right if i were to go, even if i was welcomed. Buts tts besides the point again. Dammit! I'm digressing so much. Okok... Dione, great girl, funny, strong, quite intimidating, sweet, helpful, still intimidating. Ok.
Hazmi!! Another great guy in 13A. Had a realli nice 20++mmin talk with him after school todae. I just wanted to drop my SR1 to see the place, and there he was, earphones on, listening to his music and doing his homework, not even noticing that i was in the class, so i decided not to disturb him... and leave, but the sound of the shutting door made him look up, and then, we just chatted about so many things, like the posting system... how the class felt without the 3 of us around.... that lack of "life"... the lack of "noise".... the feeling of something(s) missing from the class that made the class what it had been for the 1st 3 months... and... well, how sad most people were/are... I almost wanted to cry on the spot... burst out in tears... but i just controlled myself the best i could. Hazmi's just an extremely thoughtful guy... who loves to exclaim "OMAH!" for no particular reasons most of the time. Definitely will miss his jokes...
And Faith! Heh, you speak realli softly. My dear, beloved Chinese classmate. haha. Fellow loser who has to take Chinese. hurhur. Well... sorri that now you have one less person in your Chinese class... Didnt realli get to know you tho, right? Then again, i realli regret not getting to know many other 13Aians on a closer level, such as those that i have not mentioned. It doesnt mean that I dont feel that you've caused any changes in my life, because, truth be told, all of you are simply great people that have changed/influenced my life in so many ways possible. Take for example Jun Sheng, Yan Zhen, Nash, Jessie, and Man Yan, whom, when i chatted with online, were so encouraging and always saying supportive things to make me feel better about my appeal back into RJC. It is thanks to pple like them that gives pple the hope for things to turn out for the better. (And not forgetting the fact that JunSheng is sucha super duper fast reader, and actually read finish this entire post within, i think, 1 minute after i told him to read it).
Then there's Velda too! I kinda got jealous that she was getting close to RICH!!! (Hey! No Snatching!!!) LoL. Velda is like, one of the sweetest girl i noe, in terms of looks basically. heh. Her whininess is her trademark. Its not the kind that irritates people, but instead, the kind that make pple laugh, and well, recognise her, cos we we can recognise that "HeEeeeEy~~" of hers anywhere. Not forgetting Izzy, Shang, and Sook Zhen as well, whom i didnt quite get to know very well during the time that we were together. So sorry. Guess there are still chances, just, far less. ShuTing too, our beloved Treasurer, always so well organized and also, seemingly happy all the time. Quite surprising that she's in ODAC, honestly, and takes part in such huge activities. heh. It shows pple not to judge a book by its cover. She's small on the outside (no offence), and big on the inside, in turns of attitude, strengths, and vigour!
Last but not least, our dear CT reps, Debra and Zul! Debra has been a great CT rep, decisive, firm, and extremely funny as well. Always great at keeping the class in order (to the extent which we could actually be controlled). I'll definitely feel weird in 03B without Debra's strong voice around me, screaming, shouting, and laughing nonestop. She laughing is just soo contagious, i'll miss it so much. Zul... hmmm, i'm still in e same class as him, AND I HOPE HE WONT CHANGE TO HISTORY!!! I would realli like to have at least one 13Aian with me in 03B... otherwise... being back in RJ wouldnt mean a single thing to me anymore...
Just 1 day has passed, being forced to be away from 13A, and i already miss the class so much i feel like a piece of my flesh (or heart) has been torn apart from me thrown into an endless abyss of pain and sheer depression. I just feel like i would and could do anything just to go back to 13A, possibly even killing myself so that i could be a ghost and just hang around 13A forever. Heh... just kidding... but i wouldnt mind tho. However, considering the opportunity cost, and the vast amounts of externalities i would be causing... maybe i shouldnt.
Then theres also the Senior Junior class party, as well as the Humanitez party which we all had together... It is such good times that form such good memories that will stay with us forever, even tho it is practically a FACT that we will not be in the same class anymore, such memories are there to stay... and always will...
And here comes a question... would u all like me to continue posting in our class blog... or rather, your class blog? Perhaps i should just give the admin status to someone else already... kinda like, "passing the torch", so to speak... And... well, anything such as going to watch plays as a class, movies, and gathering of those sorts... be sure to still let us know ok...? I for one, would be more than happy to join all of you... and i think i speak for both Tim and Zul as well...
Ok... well... time to end of this long... somewhat depressing post....
Love all of you lots and lots and lots! But it is already almost a solid fact that, we're kinda parting ways.. sorta... After 3 months... we've all grown attached to each other... and... i noe its hard for everybody... but tts just something we all have to adapt to... and... be contented that at least we're all still in RJ...
Like pple like to say... "things always happen for a reason..."
That shall be my motivation for life from now on... at least, until i find a new quotation or wadever that is called.
P.S. On a slightly more happy note, or perhaps not-so-happy cos i'm getting old...
MY BDAE IS COMING!!! =X
