Those were the days...

Let's play a game of Spot me!

Sometimes when i tell my frens i still have primary school gatherings, their response would normally go along the the lines of "You must be joking.... dun you have a life?" Erm no, i am not joking, and yes, i have a life....

So anyway, after a hiatus of 2 years, the 6B1 gathering is back with a vengeance and bigger than ever!! 21 pple came! haha super happy!!

At the BBQ pit

Its good to know that everyone is going places and surviving well... we have a doctor in making, scholars, market analyst, engineers, auditor, psycologist, journalist, air force sign-on and someone who works for Nestle.

I miss the old campus at the quaint Parry neigbourhood, which was tucked away in a quiet corner... Truth be told, if i were to rank the different periods of my life so far, i would have to say my 6 years is Rosyth is a close 2nd, after Dunman High. Primary school was a time when we had no worries... when things were so much simpler and innocent. Constantly irritating the shit outta each other and catching grasshoppers at the field.

Some highlights of my life in Rosyth:

1. Harold was probably my first friend in p1, cos i had to borrow colour pencil from him the first day of school

2. I used to have 10 wives back in p3... i guess sometimes 1 just isnt enuff

3. Being part the all-star (yes, not shy) 4x100m team for Cheetah house with Zhiren, Harold and Daniel. GO TEAM!

4. Stealing a prefect's tie from Zhiren, because i lost mine.... and i almost lost him as a best fren because of this. (ohmygawd SHOCKER!!! yes...i panicked. i was 11. gimme a break) I've said this before but i will say it again. if you are reading this Zhiren, I AM SORRY and i deserved to be stoned for this heinous act of cowardice

5. One sunny morning in p5, a conversation between Mrs Grosse and Ms Githa, both in charge of prefects, and i went something like this:

Mrs Grosse: Cheong Chye, we have received some complaints about you recently.

Ms Githa: We've heard that you have been using the word "bitch" on other people. Do you know what the word "bitch" meeeeeans?

Me: Erm... a female dog? (with one eyebrow raised)

Such sarcasm at a young age.... tsk tsk. Seriously, what was i supposed to say. I was promptly sacked from the prefectorial board the next year.

6. Singing backup with weifeng for Hamdan the Diva for talentime. Singing Madonna no less. That, was like, major social suicide...

7. Traumatising my p1 buddy when i was in p6. i made the poor boy cry because he didnt know how to count money to buy food at the canteen. hope i didnt cause him any emotional distress.

8. Learning to name different parts of the male genitalia with Zhiren and Weifeng while doing science project... haha good times man, good times. (2nd best water filter!!! woohooo. the winning team used quartz. Like, who the hell knew quartz existed in p6??)

Memories are flooding my brains now and they are all bittersweet.... ahhh nostlagic... Those were the days.
