so the years have past
memories of 2004
amaths retest that marked the beginning of our year
hearts thupping away
me myself being very sure that i wasnt going to make it
but i still managed to scrape through it
rushing to finish the literature project with val feli ocp and ingrid
the many days devoted to flipping through i'm the king of the castle
in a feeble attempt to search for suitable quotes
those days we devoted to literature
shakespeare would be proud
muzikathon was fun
with everybody buying chocolates
and having no lessons for most of the day
with ms nair's silly prank! to top it off
the formation of jepenga
that fateful flag day
we did have fun selling flags
but sitting at the mrt station was more fun
and do you remember
?we were standing according to height
and our colours in the mrt station
silly things we do (:
attempting to figure out our clique name
which went from 7superstar to jepenga
with bits of janepeg and nuwegg in between
the sweaty days in class
from the extreme hotness of the days
and the radiating heat from our class!
we even had to get fan installed
the panic to study for chinese O levels
rather painful for me seeing that i screwed up my prelims and had no faith
in myself whatsoever for the o levels
it didnt turn out that bad though
i still remember grinning to someone
selene i think after finishing the paper in the mpr
i felt so relieved after the paper
after that came the prisoner of azkaban movie craze
everything was hectic
and everyone was excited for the movie
elf dan and my sister
sitting there till the credits ended
enduring the cold with our asses freezing off
but we knew it was worthwhile!
going through my confirmation camp
wow. it wouldnt be possible without the whole group of us
especially christine cheryl and petrina
the cockroachey bathroom
the healing session with those tiny tealights flickering
the funny priest during the confession
the silly games we played with my slipper dropping off
and having to walk barefooted on the grass
and also having to bathe in the flooded male toilet
with its threat of the toad
going to the kelong for a summer getaway
with the pretty little island
i wonder how it is nowafter the tsunami hit
maybe i wouldnt get to see it again?
being excited for confirmation and finally being confirmed
and me forgetting to say the correct words!
my silly crush
and finally ending my silly crush after so many months
carolyn's sweet sixteen outing
munching on ribs at kenny roggers
with them clearing away my corn muffin
trying to sneak out the birthday cake
and finally ta-paoing the leftover cake home!
art club farewell
all those pretty presents i recievedthe big big cake!
and the confetti the juniors were throwing down on us
moo foo's guitar performance
sighs
and i have yet to give them farewell presents!):
the death of my goldfishies
a painbut nevertheless for a reason i've yet to find out
getting back chinese o level results
glad to know that i did well
but also sad to know that not everyone was as happy as i was
trying to make sure elf didnt kill herself
and hugging everyone regardless of whether it was a comforting
or a congratulating hug
swimshady's preformance
the day which we also dubbed as the best school day ever
even though i missed most of it
since i was sick and resting at home
but apparently went back down to school after that
the whole female population going mad in the family lounge
im quite sure swim shady didnt ever get such a enthusiastic audience after that
going through the killer prelims
they should be called nastily exhausting exams!
the before and aftermath of prelims
the mugging and mugging and more mugging in the before
and the happy and sadness of the after
the worrying about jc
and the endless jc talks
the bump in the road that jepenga went through together
and im proud to say
managed to move over together
and back as one
the last normal school day
the day before school breaking for us to studyfor the big Os
soccer matches
and playing jacob's ladder!
the yummy cake
and the signing of baby pe teeshirts
and not to forget
the shots we took of ourselves
smiling and looking ahead
confident of going through the up coming exams
the actual mugging for Os
where we were all desprately trying to cram as much as possible
into those little heads of ours
and along the way squeezing out much of our lives
especially those of us studying in school
you would never see the canteen filled with so many peopleyet so filled with silence
taking the exams
stressful
yet smiles of relief on faces after each paper
maybe not on everyone's faces
but on most people's ones
i cried after the amaths paperbut its over i guess
and i can only hope for the best
and finally making it through all the papers
everyone was out partying that night!
then came preparation for the grand grad night
all we seemed to talk about was dresses
shoes earrings and makeup
and the big night
everyone was madeup to look their best
oh maybe everyone but me?
but we had the time of our lives
smiling till our mouths achedand toes cramped from heelies
and wrapping up the year with endless parties
bbqs and gatherings
my trip to nz
gorgeous place
christmas and new year celebrations fly by
so this is the end.
i guess
its now the night of the 1st day of 2005
and im still reminiscing the old 2004 days
but as the clock ticks by
i guess we must also move ontogether and individually
so a new chapter starts for us from monday on
especially for those going on to jc
we're all separated
even though we might be in the same school
maybe same class
but would it still be the same again?
the backdrop and the setting would change
other music would be heard
but our roles in this play of life
would still be the sameand i guess our friendship would never change
even if we might be apartbut our hearts and minds
would always treasure the days we've spent together
the sweet happy innocent days filled with laughter
and the stressful times we've had to endure
and its because of these memories we've share
that will bond our hearts tightly together
till the end (:
thank you for all those who've made these year special
theres too many of youand little nitty gritty details to ever fully recall
and to thank
but regardless of it all
thank you for 2004 (:
