Suffocating Madness

I'm pretty bored right now. Since I've received some old and new pictures from my favorite teacher, I would like to upload some of them here. Have fun looking!

Secondary one

January: First month of year 2006! It was taken on the day we had Team Challenge. I participated in the netball challenge. I felt kind of awkward in January since we only knew each other. It was pretty sweet when I got to learn about every of my new friends in school. Man, I miss those times. I also had an experience of designing the class shirt for the very first time. The class was known for the bad things we had done towards the teachers. I remember that the boys locked the doors so that our Science teacher couldn't enter the class. Yes, he sulked.

April: Bedok Reservoir run! I looked so different in this picture! I can't stop laughing at this. Anyway, I guess it was raining at that time and we were caught in the rain while running. We looked wet. Maybe we did get caught in the rain or were we just perspiring?

August: It was on National Day eve. I can't really recall what we actually did on that day. In this picture, maybe it was taken during the national anthem? I don't know? Or maybe we were about to sing the National Day songs. I looked funny and I wonder why I was staring at my friend beside me. My most favorite picture. I can't tell you why just in case someone finds out that I'm posting this picture here.

October: Food Festival for our level! The muffins look delicious in the picture. I miss cooking in the kitchen. I miss sharing the food my partner and I cooked together. I don't remember who was my partner. Since I'm an Art student, it has been two years since I last stepped into the kitchen. It was fun listening to the teacher's guide on how to cook and we had to sit on the floor while waiting for further instructions. I used to love practical (which only happened on alternate weeks, was it?). Cleaning the kitchen table after cooking was never the fun part.

Secondary two

March: Sports Day! Also, my second year in Springfield. Our ties with one another were even closer. Did I participate in any of the events? I can't really remember. That year, I started to love my classmates and I was unhappy at the end of the year as we were going to different classes. I remember that my class was pretty mean. I guess we were the only ones who wore pink class shirts for the event.

March: I swear I looked like a small kid. The way I smiled and my short hair. I had an annual camp during the holidays and I was in NPCC. This picture was taken during the prize-giving ceremony and my team won a prize. We had to come up with a cheer for campfire. We had to do on ourselves since one of our seniors wasn't feeling quite well (I think) and he was happy that we put in a lot of effort. Our team name was 'Jazz'. Some of us danced like lunatics and everyone was in a great spirit. Maybe that was why we won the first prize. I can still remember all the sweet moments we shared with the seniors. I wonder how are they doing.

August: My second year of celebrating National Day with Springfield. It was a sunny morning and almost everyone used the book given to cover their faces. I can see my best friend singing with her mouth wide open. So adorable! I was smiling at the book and singing to my heart's content. Now where did the other two girls from my class go?

October: This was after the exams. A post-exam activity (Pet Rockets). I partnered up with the first secondary school friend in front of me. I can still remember clearly how she made friends with me on the first day of school in class. So sweet! The activity wasn't quite fun but, I did have fun after all. I don't remember which class won. Was it our class?

Secondary three

May: Meet-the-parents session. My first year with my new class. Well, we weren't that close at first. In this picture, we had a special guest from the other class! The talk was so boring and I think it was about the national exams. Nothing interesting to elaborate about that night.

August: I think this was the year when we got close to Mr Kok. We wrote something for him to remind of us and drew some nonsensical cartoons of him. He even pasted whatever we did for him on the walls in his office. Isn't that sweet? Speaking of him, the four of us will be visiting him later on. I can't wait!

August: The girl on my right looks funny here. This was on National Day eve. I think last year's celebration was so much better than this year. I remember the girls and I went to the hall to see the preparation few days before National Day and we sang the songs loudly like no one's business. Hell fun, I tell you. Unfortunately, I had a sore throat after that.

August: Yes, August again. This was when many students from different schools came to Springfield to break the record and enter the book of Guiness World Record. That was what I heard. I didn't participate as I wasn't interested. I was only interested in taking pictures of the event and going around being such a busybody.

August: Twelve days after the Guiness World Record event, Team Challenge! My classmates and I were supposed to take part in the netball challenge, but we were eliminated since a few of our team mates didn't turn up. That was what actually happened, I guess? My memory's pretty bad.

Secondary four

January: CCA Orientation! Finally, we got the chance to be in-charge of the booths since we're already seniors. Pretty amazing experience. We had to introduce our CCAs to the newcomers. It was kind of tiring since we had to go around looking for victims and asked them to join us. We did so many things on that day. In 2006, I was being asked by so many seniors to join their CCA and this year, I got to experience what the seniors experienced back then. The small kids were so cute and cheeky!

February: Meet-the-parents session again. This year's of course. My friend looked blur here and I was happily talking to my favorite form-teacher. Actually, I didn't know that I did attend the session. I feel like it didn't happen at all. I'm starting to miss all of my teachers. You know, I still miss their teachings and I seriously miss my classroom. I can't wait for the day when we'll get our results in mid December. I better hope and start praying for good results. I've been dreaming twice about my results and it turned out that I failed. So, I hope it'll happen in the opposite way in reality.

February: Civil Defence Day. Fire drill practice. It was such a bore. We did get to waste some time! This year, I got to communicate more with my classmates. They aren't that bad after all. Well, nothing much to say about Civil Defence Day. Did we have plain porridge during recess?

February: Two weeks after Civil Defence Day. Team Challenge for the upper secondary students. This time round, we entered the floorball challenge and a good friend of ours joined us. She's pretty good actually. I remember bumping into her while chasing the ball and both of us hit each other hard and fell to the ground. We won either first or second. I have the medal but I'm too lazy to go look for it.

March: This year's Sports Day was a blast though I didn't get to participate in any of the events since I just recovered from the pain I had after the accident. While the others were busy cheering for those who were taking part in the tug-of-war, I was there at the back being a busybody.

September: Lastly, Graduation Day (which I didn't looking forward to). I got to make a speech on that special day and I was happy about it. I dared myself to speak in front of the big crowd and thank God, everything went smoothly. I actually prepared some tissue papers in my pocket just in case I would cry. Fortunately, I didn't. Maybe because I was so freaking nervous at that point of time.

September: My face looks so funny! I was trying my best to smile for the camera but I couldn't hold back my tears. I was smiling and was about to cry. So, I looked funny! I simply hate Graduation Day. I do miss my classmates still and those good times we had together in class. The last few days were so memorable and those days were well-spent though all of us were busy studying for the upcoming papers. I wonder when's our class outing?

Alright, that's all for this post. I better get going and get some sleep as I need to wake up early and go back to school later on.
