As promised. It took me some time. It's gonna be very long post, and damn wordy.
So yeah, 4 years in ahs, lots of stuffs to remember, a lot to recall.
Sec one, a new beginning. I had almost no friends from my primary school at all coming to ahs.. The only 2 I only knew was Nicholas and Eunice, both not really close friends. I kept to myself most of the time. I still could remember how I spent my first day of orientation camp. All by myself, but I got to know Miao Qian and Yong Sheng, my OG Leaders. Somehow, Eunice, my pri sch classmate and neighbour, was in the same group, and in a group of 11 people with only 2 guys, it was hard for me on the first day. It was only on the second day that I got to unleash my playful nature, after being comfortable with my OG members. I was wild in the games. It was also then when I cried for the first time in ahs. I toughed it out after placing my hands in a bucket of ice and water. Tears flow as I withstand the numbness in my hands. Zhan Hui, was the first person I knew not from my OG. I still could remember that it was almost bedtime and I was asking around for people from the same class. It was rather dark and Zhan Hui didn't speak up. He at least repeat five times before I could get him. That was OG.
First day of school was, rather horrible. I sat at a seat, alone, with strangers all around me. It was terrible. There was nothing special on that day, it was just, come and go. The most stupid, childish thing I did was a quarrel with Philip. Thinking of it, it was laughable. I actually quarrel with him over my table. Somehow, he kept saying I was moving too far forward, and I was restricting his seating space. But for me, I didn't have enough space, it was just nice. I don't wish to dwell on such stupid things, but, yes, it was completely foolish of me, I should had just give in. After that, my reputation went down. I was cursed, given names, discriminated, all because of Philip. He was like, a terror in my life. The feeling of being discriminated wasn't good at all. I didn't had true friends at all, even from CCA, for the whole year. I always wanted to be a Prefect/SC, I was nominated for Prefect when I was in Primary School, but my parents didn't allow, fearing that my PSLE results would be affected. They agreed that I go for SC when I was in secondary school. But, being discriminated/disliked by my classmates didn't give me a single chance at all. Thanks to Philip, for screwing my life.
Then it was Sec two. Overall, life was, wasted on gaming. Somehow, I preferred the virtual world to reality. I had more control, I had more power, It was better than my own life. That's was when I was exposed to more games, technology and computer stuffs. I get to know two good friends, after a year of loneliness. First, Eugene Ang. Yeah, still could remember how I got to know him. It was during Geography, in Geography Room. No one sat with me, I was at the back with 2 other girls. Then Eugene came along. He was transfered from 2A, dropped HCL, and came to 2E. And he was allocated beside me. I was like the first person to talk to him in the class. That's how I got to know him. He introduced me alot of things, which remained my all-time favs. Yes, Linkin Park and Gundam Seed. We had quite some stuff to talk about. I was the one that provided him with LP's songs, in digital, which he didn't have at first. The other friend was Jack. Surprising ah? Yes, me, Eugene and Jack were together most of the time. We had so much fun, like, sitting at the back of the History Room with Mrs Janet Koh teaching in the front while we were doing all sorts of lame stuffs at the back. That includes creating our version of Duelmasters' expansion set. Sorry Jason, it was about you, moles and stuff. Yeah, kind of childish. I could also remember that the three of us linked AHS to all sorts of stuff. Anglican Low School, Anglican Childcare, Anglican Hospital, blah blah blah. And yes, there were the times where we rushed to the Eagle Nest like bees to honey. Cutting, pushing, 'chopping' queues, screening each other on our screens, and it was Eagle Nest, that let me knew more friends. I started to knew some of the Wushu people, through Eugene. Zhan Hui, Jon Yap, and Clement Goh. Yeah. That pimply guy, that was so skilled in tablesoccer, and fellow Taekwondo practitioner. And KC, though in the same class, but alien to me, turned into that ever cheerful, funny, good friend. I had my own clique. Me, KC, Jason, Timo, Eugene and Jack, though I didn't speak much with Timo, and my constant competition of height with Jason. (Sorry Jason, I'm now taller!) A memorable year, with horrible results, and separation.
Then sec three came. A new start, finally, a change from two years of hell. The first day where the guys wore long pants, and we were laughing at each other at how weird we were. 4 from 2E went to 3C. Me, Timo, Grace and Evan. I was separated from my clique. And left with Timo, who I didn't talk much with for the past two years. But, he was like, all I left, the only person I knew, in this new environment. Thus, I began to know Timo more. So, I sat with Timo, right in front of the class. And behind us was Shunyi and Jing Ying. We didn't speak much at first. Still could remember it was during English lesson, and we had the clock buddy thing. And my first draw was with Jing Ying. That's how we broke the ice. Like Timo, I couldn't remember much about how I get to know the others. Shunyi was right behind me. Then switching here and there during lessons and I got to know Qi Jing and Jovyne. Then some seating arrangements, and I sat with Ming Guan and Ho Ming. However, for the whole year, I was rather confined to the original square. Timo, me, Shunyi and Jing Ying. I didn't talk much to the other classmates though. Towards the end of the year, I was smacked right in the front of the whiteboard, with Timothy behind me. Still could remember that the tall tall Timothy still was not satisfied and wanted to swap seats with me. And I debated with him. I could still remember that my excuse given to Mr Neo was: "cher, y move me ah? I sit here so long le, besides, Timo keep asking to change seat, and second row not bad le wad, if he change then he block me also leh... Plus I never request anything leh, then move me cos someone else requested something, not fair for me sia." Couldn't remember the whole thing but it was something like that. I guessed I kinda pissed Timo. =D Haha. I also had the habit to get a small notebook and doodled on it. I show them only to my closest friends, at my permission, or sometimes, my request. They are my wild imaginations. (Kai Hong, that's y I got so kanchiong when u turn around when I was doodling in my notebook. I'm scared that u see and tease me. Same goes to Dale that tried to snatch it away.) I could still remember that the guys were playing with the locker lock, and they were locking it at the loop at the back of some shoes. So, Wenjie tried to lock it at my shoe. Somehow I got offended and pushed him away. Damn, he got fiery and pushed me back. I wanted to punch him, but for what? Held back, went back to my seat. I learnt how to tolerate. Somehow, I felt that I grew up. More and more mature I guess?! And I've changed for the better, I guess. Quoting Timo's words: 'He was like that in Sec Two. Come Sec Three then become so leng de.. Must be Jing Ying's aura.' Results wise, It was still as bad.
2009 was full of, first times. Here's the list I said:
- Went on stage to recieve prize for CNY photography competition

Anw, got to know more of the guys from the class. I 'broke up' with Timo and went to the back of the class and got to know the rest of the class. O's doesn't seems to be a problem at hand, despite having only 10 months left. My square expanded. I had so much fun with the class. It was my idea to cream u, Timo! Hahaha. Actually, it was after Jamus got creamed then I suggested it! =D I pursued my cycling interest on my own. Weekly cycling expeditions at Pasir ris park. And a two way trip looping at Bedok reservoir. Fun! Until mid yrs. Results were horrible at mid yrs, and that's when I became anxious. O's were closer than expected. And for the first time in secondary school, I went for tuition. Got to know Jovyne more. Then it was mugging, mugging and kping. Seating at the back with Xiying, Wenjie and Guan Xiang was filled with laughter. I grew closer with the clique at the bottom half of the year. We got to know each other more, at least a lot more than the previous year. That was when we began going out together. Those times were enjoyable. Some unfortunate stuffs happened, like my immature quarrel with Jack that ended up with a stupid sneak attack from him, and my quarrel with Jamus after a stupid chair. Then, it was the big thing. I somehow wriggled through time, and got myself into the battlefield. The battle came quickly, and went quickly. 3 weeks was faster then expected. And I'm freed from school, once again in 4 years. But I missed the class the most. It seems weird staying at home. It's too quiet.
Okay. That more or less describes my four years in ahs. Moving on, my impression of people. Well, we resemble something like Timo's and MG's posts. (I'm doing this like, on the spot. Typed what comes to my mind)
First up: TIMOTHY! Although we've been classmates for 4 years, it's only till the last two years that I got to know you better. He's the one that tolerates most of my nonsense, and provided me a lot of fun while doing lame things together. Like, prank calling =D (Evil bunny ftw!) I feel that he's a good listener (although his ears got some prob >.<), can be funny at times, but when it comes to serious work, it's a guaranteed no-play situation. Partner in crime! But I have to apologise though. Sometimes I feel that I was too bossy and neglected you're feelings. Sorry! Anw, great to have you as a friend bro!
Next! MING GUAN! Silent at first, but after sometime, he's not so =D. It's like, a gun, before you fire, it's just a heavy piece of decorated metal, but once it's fired, it goes off with a loud bang (Attempting a metaphor =D). At first, we don't seem to have anything to talk about. A gaming freak and a studious guy. But, there were times where we could spent a long time chatting on a common topic. Another trusted friend that I've found. I look forward to another conversation! =D
NEXT! HO MING! Okay. I think this gonna offend you, but I'll speak my mind. You're a real nice guy. Knowledgeable, especially on buses. For a foreigner, he actually knew Singapore better than us locals. (We, locals, should be ashamed) Speaks frankly, possesses traits of a 'typical Singaporean' and amusing at times, though I don't talk with you a lot.
Now, the girls.
SHUNYI. Other people is, "撒谎不眨眼", but she is "说冷笑话／无聊东西不眨眼". >.< Anw, Shunyi ah, without Jingying, not funny le.. Or maybe with Jingying then maximum effect la.. She can express her emotion very well. Can sense when she's happy de.. But when angry, there's seems to be a black aura around her eyes, staring at you. A bit, scary.
JINGYING. Erm, one crazy person. Can laugh at anything. But, her presence make us lively?! Haha. Same, without Shunyi, NO maximum effect lor. Really, Jing Ying 不能没有 Shunyi, and vice versa.
JOVYNE. First thing on mind. IDOL CRAZY. Likes going around looking at cute guys, and going crazy. Haha... Lucky got her recommend me a tuition teacher, if not I dunno how survive O's. And, it's also Jovyne that I start to accept slower songs, and brought me back to Chinese songs. Many thanks!
QIJING. First thing that came to my mind. BOY'S TOILET! Qijing ah Qijing. Run away from camera also can run into the wrong toilet. Hahaha! Okay. Qijing. Mmm... I just LOVE to tease her. Doraemon!!!! Lol... Okay. That toilet thing broke my train of thoughts. Qijing, mmm... Blur like sotong?! =D
I guess that concludes my post.
