Yesterday was Teachers’ Day and it was really fun. School started later than usual as it was a Thursday and we had some celebrations in school. They were held in the hall and to be honest, they were quite entertaining. There were some solo performances and if I’m not wrong, there was one by Soh. (sorry if I spelt the name wrongly.) I thought that she sang quite well and the crowd really cheered her as she sang. There was also Kaushik who sang. I thought that he sang quite well, but the background music was just too loud at times, so it was hard to hear him singing. There were other performances by Indian Dance, the Choir and the Student Council. There was also one segment where they asked the students to identify the teacher that had a certain item. I guess that didn’t appeal to me much.:( Towards the end of the celebrations, there was also this segment where they handed out awards to certain teachers. The whole thing ended at around 11.30 am. 11.30 AM. And I had asked Joshua(or Jang:P) to wait for me at the bus stop at 11. Damn, I was really late.
But he was still there at the bus stop. We went to SJIJ together and along the way, we talked about our lives and so on. There were actually a few interesting topics that we talked about.:P Our opinions on certain things and so on. We finally reached SJIJ at about 12.15pm, I think. We toured the school and we went to go and see the teachers. Unfortunately, most of them already left the school for some tea break that they were supposed to have and we couldn’t see them . However, Mrs Ng and our science teacher were still there. I actually forgot my science teacher’s name sia. So it was like really weird and we just said hi. And Jang actually forgot a lot of stuff sia. Even the fact that we were from the same class haha.
We met the other people from our class there. Only a few people came and we only managed to see Jarrett, Marc Lim, Nicholas and Kok F’ng over there. We had a mini soccer session with some of the older former students that had come over and the Patrick students. Kaushik and Nathan had also come there. After a while, we went to United Square and waled around before we decided to finally go over to Novena Square for lunch. We actually spent a lot of time thinking about where we should go over to eat and in the end, Jang and I decided to just run off to Subway to eat and leave the rest. We had some fun over at Subway and talked about football and topics like the top-four chances for each team, Bayern Munich’s potential and whether Jose Mourinho’s moves and choices were justified. So our prediction of the top four is as follows. Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham. I guess this could end up being the result at the end of the season.
After eating, we went over to the Kopitiam where the other were eating and chatted with them before we made our way home. Jang, Nicholas and I took the same train and we bade our goodbyes to the rest. After we had reached our destinations, we also said bye to each other.
I guess I should spend more time with my primary school friends. After all, I went through a lot with them. Maybe we should meet up more often or just randomly chat with one another when we’re free or something. I wouldn’t mind a soccer outing anyway.
However, that doesn't mean that my current class is any less important. I’ve been with this bunch of one-ders for around 1 and three quarters of a year already and leaving them would be hard. I’be got to know each and every one of them better as time went by and I feel that we are really bonded. I’m really grateful to be in a class like this. We’re really bonded and I hope that we can always be like this. Hope that we can actually be in the same class next year too.(Not that its going to happen, sadly.:() Like each and every one of us makes this class special, unique. Every singe person is important. I hope that maybe even after this year, we will still go out on outings if possible or stay in touch with one another.
And the sad thing is, we have only around a term left with each other. It its actually a full term as Term 4 is actually quite short as compared to the other terms. I hope we will be able to make more memories in the time we have left and treasure them. I’ll really miss this bunch of people when we have to go our separate ways..
And Mr Lee is also changing our seating arrangement next term. I actually quite like my table. I’ve been sitting with them for half a year already and we’ve made some memories together. I’ll miss them too. But I guess Mr Lee also wants us to socialize more with others in the class, so I guess that changing tables is kind of inevitable. So I decided that I should describe my table mates (as requested by Jia Xin) but I don’t think I’ll do it today. The time is..damn. I think I’d better got to sleep. I’ll edit the post soon and put in the descriptions
Here are the descriptions:
(From my right to left)
Xuan Rong: I guess she’s really a mature person and stuff but she still has those times when she becomes hyper and starts meowing in class or “nyahaha-ing”. She’s fun to be with and has been a really great table mate. She’s also really good at all the subjects and she’s really determined and focussed in class. I guess she’s a smartie-pants or something haha. She’s also helpful and helps me out in lessons when I may be lost or may not understand something. I also have all those little arguments with her and I guess that these ones actually help me improve my debating skills and all. She’s really good at debating too btw and I guess by sitting next to her, I’ve improved in my studies quite a bit, and learnt how to write extremely fast. Sitting with her has been a great experience and I’ve got to know her better.
Praveen: That’s me! I guess if I do a description of me, I’ll be probably describing myself as the best person alive so yeah haha.
Jia Xin: She’s a great person to be sitting beside and great friend to talk to. Haha I guess that I would be sleeping in class, if I didn’t talk to her in class or something. I guess I feel guilty about making her angry whenever I don’t sit properly in class. She’s really helpful(except for the times that she refuses to lend anyone her correction tape) and is really smart! She’s also great in studies although she doesn’t seem like she mugs much. She also kinda sucks(just kidding) and doesn’t realize sometimes that she’s insulting the most awesome person alive by calling that him or her a thick skull. Hmph.(haha JKJK). She’s also another one of the fangirls that love my singing. (haha JKJK again.) I also ship her and someone from 06! JiaCardo just looks so cute together! Sitting with her has been a great experience for me.
Xinyi: She’s really a great friend to talk to and she really understands you most of the time and helps you out when you’re down or something by presenting another viewpoint or something. She’s also a great friend to confide in and talking to her is really fun and I’ve learnt a lot of stuff.(P.S. I like reading her essays too.:P) She also offers great advice and I like the random topics that we talk about. She also can be quite funny at times and lifts the mood of the table when all of us feel bored. She’s also is quite helpful when it comes to doing work or just everyday stuff. She’s also really enthusiastic especially when it comes to playing games haha. She’s really smart too and really raises interesting and valid points during LA. I’m also grateful to have a friend like her and sitting with her has been a great experience.
I guess I’m really gonna miss my table mates after we split up next week or something. Hope that we will go on some outings or something and stay bonded as a table group. (I’ll come for the outings this time for sure!:))
