to frenz of the past, future, and the present
ayte. i seem to be posting a lot today. my gut instinct or rather sense of guilt must be driving me to blog in the middle of the night when i'd rather much be sleeping. *sigh*.
currently listening to:
nothing...only the booming whamming sound effects from the ps2..big bro just came back from redang, so he really misses the ps2...aiiii...boys nowadays arh...
currently feeling:
ok. my stomach is kinda growling. something like an upset stomach. hope i'm not coming down with diarrhoea...geez....i'm prone to stuff like this..
so anyway, the list for national service is out!!!!yes..yes..i know it was out a really long time ago, but today is the only day where i could actually browse through the WHOLE list, looking for names of frenz of my age that i can remember without disturbance at all. thank gawd for that!!
and unfortunately, sad as it is, i can't name that many frenz of mine who are of the same age as me!! i mean, i can name u about 30 to 40 in one go, but then, i'd be stumbling throughout the rest. sad isn't it? i think this is the after effects of skipping a year and then mixing with ppl one year your senior.i mean, it's cool and all, coz most of the time, i, myself, forget my own age, and sometimes think that i AM 18, when, in fact, i'm 17!
i've kinda lost touch with the guys i mixed with b4 i skipped that one year. i remember making vows that i'd remain in contact with them, that i'd never forget them, and so on so forth. unfortunately, this vow i didn't keep. i'm such a loser. sue me. i BEG u.
i DO remember most of them, and yea, i still love them loadz, but throw me with the same person i used to hangout-with-then now, and i think i'll barely be able to say a whole string of words without first thinking if i should say it or not. (queen of crapper i may be, but i DO think before i speak in situations as such) i think, heck, i KNOW, i'd feel ...sesat if i were to hang out with them now..i admit. it is my fault.
In std 3, my best buddies were lee quin, sinn dee, siew may, zuliana, and a few others. i used to hang with them all the time, going about disturbing ppl. we ate recess together, we did most things together.
i remember lee quin participating in some spelling-bee competition, where mrs ravin, our english teacher then {who had this "thing" for joanne nandhini} had this trial sorta thing b4 u could go take part in the REAL competition, and that the very first word she asked us to spell was axe. and i remember thinking, X????(i've been blur all my life) and that another word was oxygen. i got mixed up with the malay version and the english version of oxygen, and remember spending lotsa time pondering over that one dumb word. GEEZ. OXYGEN. yes..i know..i'm dumb =P. lee quin got through though. no surprise there :)
i remember sinn dee singing her song about mom and dad in class, and singing it for me, teaching me the lyrics. it takes after that cantonese song.
i also remember sinn dee giving me a plastic-like birthday card branded A'zone. i still have it.
i remember how when i first started std 5, siew may and sinn dee would wait for me outside my class so that we could have breaks together. but after awhile, we somehow drifted apart and had breaks at different tables.
i remember going to zuliana's birthday party where i bought her this flowery looking drawer cabinet thingie to store accesories and such, and that i felt weird coz i was wearing a DRESS (for god's sake) and that everyone else was wearing something much more casual. lee quin was in shorts (i remember her singing a boyzone song on zuliana's bed), shakira in a lime green baby tee, erica in her red halter dress, and cheryl in i can't remember what....but i DO remember her trying on erica's dress.
i remember how i invited lee quin to my 11 year old party with my other frens at the barbeque pit, where we had domino's and stuff like that. i remember her buying me a mug and a really cool piggy bank, in a shape of a gigantic tin can with a bulldog as the brand or something...i still have it with me but it's a pencil holder now. i remember shading her from the rain with an umbrella while walking to the pit, and she somehow slipped and that she laughed, prompting me to laugh along. i remember my parents making a call to her mom to enquire if she could then stay on and have dinner with us. we ate at mcdee's.
there are many other things that i can remember, and to my surprise, in great detail. but if i were to go on, i'd never be able to end. i regret every step i NEVER made in keeping in touch with my friends.
but be sure of one thing, they will always have my support, and in fact, i do remember most of them now that i look back in time. probably after all, i never really forgot them in the first place.
til then.
take care and goodnitez.
