beginning with one of the only reasons why coming to school is sucha joy: The English Class of 2006. stepping into the music room (our lit home room, presently call The Renaissance Room) is like entering another dimension, far away from reality. every moment in there is something to be remembered, from countless number of production rehearsals to lit lectures with our temperamental lit teachers to staying up to 3am after our literature evenings to learn retro dance moves and ballroom dancing. there's really nothing quite like our 4 lit teachers. Ms G., who's so adorably cute and a proud owner of a brain to die for, Mark Tan who is by far the only person i know who can have sex with words, Ms Thiang, despite her constant mood swings, you know she cares and Mr Rozells, forever looking like he was cast a role on Cheech & Chong. apart from the teachers, our lit class is bursting with unique individuals ranging from the brainy right down to the eccentric. every one contributes to some form laughter.
and of course, there's my beloved class 2A04. now here, we really come from all walks of life. major ethnic diversity. everyone's just so different but yet we somehow manage to always get along. the jokes we've shared i simply classic. it really doesn't get any better than this.
now that i'm down reminiscing, i shall go on to yesterday's agenda.
so it started off with an exceptionally long graduation ceremony as there were 300 award winners...and i was one of them=) haha. i was presented a prize for the most improved student for Malay AO. yeah yeah yeah. i know. laugh it out. i've had enough teasing on this to last me a lifetime. when things finally came to end, our class gathered for photo-taking in our classroom and then it was to the music room for our specially organized lit grad. videos were shown, tears were shed, photos were taken and faces were stuffed. a wonderful grad indeed.
we hung ard the room until about 4pm and then 10 of us, including the teachers cab-ed down to town for dinner at coffee club. i've realised that if you're not quite use to hanging ard us lit ppl, you would probably find it extremely infuriating. we've established this way of speaking indirectly - puns, riddles and tons of inside jokes. first timers, like our dear prinya chose to shut up after realising that he could never catch on to our conversations and everything he said, we had all managed to silently classify it as a sexual innuendo. after entertaining ourselves, we then went to kinokuniya and of course, there was no escaping from the lit section. ryan came to meet me for a bit since he was in town and then we cab-ed home where i klonked out only to wake up 12 hrs later. ok it's 4am, i ought to be getting back to my King Lear. just one more scene and i'm done for the night (or morning).
So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money
When we look back now, will that joke still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
