Ms Cheryl Sim ah:
This post is super long.. so scroll down all the way for the details if you don't wanna read.. but got one paragraph of dedications before that.. so can go read okay? Tag me hor!! hahaha. :):):)

19th July
A day of excitement, busy-ness and findings..

I was really busy with Secretary stuff during CO practice.. walk here walk there to multi-task between playing and tracking/writing.. Well, that's cos there were lots of ppl who didnt come for prac the last 2 weeks... After prac, while suppose to continue to see ppl to get a valid reasons from them about their absence, had to collate the list for the overseas trip.. whether majority wants to go taiwan, or hongkong.. So overall, more ppl wanted to go taiwan.... at least 3/4 or so... But, in the evening, i heard from news that taiwan got 1st case of H1N1.. super unlucky... Lao shi said she will discuss with the rest 1st then see how..

Anw, went to staffroom to find laoshi.. talked bout the trip and then abit about our studies.. Aiya, afternoon too bright liao.. she said: "if i got study then still like that, then really must consider to..... you know what i am trying to say la.... okok, u better go for meet them cos u gonna cry liao.." She can see lor.. but just a wave of sadness la... not really big deal... on friday when i talked to ms lim bout my maths, i also halfway stop saying cos i know my tears was like woohoo..... then ms lim was like, cos u try hard but still didnt pass issit? and i was like mmm ya ya..

I feel so emotional.. Just by talking bout my maths i can feel like crying! but nvm... i shall jiayou.. i know i have many ppl with me.. like cheryl a.k.a squidward and sandy!!

Then was in 5-35 to watch the string quartet prac.. in less than 20 mins.. security guard chase us out le.. so pei-ed them go CO room put their stands while deanna went for red cross briefing.. supposedly go sebas's house to watch but had to go and find deanna cos she need leave early.. so stayed, watched the rest's peformances and listened to their briefings.. then went over to sebas house at 3 plus..

Played piano, drum set, violin and the massage chair.. hahaha.. EXCO is just so fun... :):)

Then, at night.. while on the way home.. i dunno why but i just suddenly msged Mrs Tan.. my kindergarten teacher..... I met her 2 yrs back at the coffee shop opp KC.. she gave me her number but i nvr did sms her.. until today.. i was waiting for train while i saw that yellow post-it which was still sticking on my membership card despite changing my wallet long time ago..

So, i sms-ed her saying hi u remb me and stuff... and she replied:
How can I forget u - the girl who broke her leg and collar bone. How are u? Hv u finished yr O level? How's yr mum? Send my rgds to her.

Well, the fondest person i remb back in kindergartern was her... I'd joined PAP (Marine Parade) only in K2 and i heard from my mum she had a hard time getting me in.. so yeah.. i was in there for a year only.. i can't remb much.. in fact, i have forgot 98% of my stay there.. but, my instincts tells me... i went through much happenings in there.. i can remb my grad dance.... going to ashley's house at park east to take our grad photo... this girl whom i was closed to name karen...

Mrs Tan called me in the night at around 10pm.. she tried refreshing my memory.... She told me on the 1st day of school..... she took my bag and put one side and totally forgot about it.. So when we were in class and she asked for my books, i told her that she snatched it away.. seriously, i had no idea that had happened b4.. Mrs tan said i was a very strong-headed girl.. Well readers who know me, am i still like what she said now? Hahah.

Okay, back to the conversation.. She told me there used to be a girl by the name of Teri who was very wild and naughty- thus nobody liked her and dare to be friends with her.. I was told that Mrs Tan used to be put me tog with her so that i could tame her down. and she told me this girl was later seen on TV... My 1st reaction was I not stupid that boy issit.. Later on, i realized it's a girl.. and to my amusement, that girl was actually Teri Yeo from Campus Superstar..

So, after hanging up with Mrs Tan, i called Teri.. i think she was really surprised to receive my call? I told her the whole story and she was wow-ed by it too. She even said she remb pinching a girl by the name of anne back then and got send to the P's office.. This "anne" was obviously ANNE KWA!!!! was realy overwhelmed by my past...

Anyway, talked to anne and teri through sms and msn... i realized when we were younger.. there were so much more then we can expect.... You know, being able to meet ur kindergarten sch friends back again 12 years later.. that's the most amazing thing... it's simply fate and destiny... so much has happened in 12 years... I really want to see Mrs Tan again.. see how much she've aged, see how much she've changed, see our own memories in her....

Innocence is priceless.. when we were so ever young back then, totally innocent, without having to worry bout anything... it's the best time of our lives... I want to recall it...and i want it to be in my memory forever.. I'll treasure life more... treasure the ppl around me more...

I was upset with my results, i am scared i'll get retain, i am fearful i will have be in NYCO 2 more years withou any post, i am afraid i can't stay in NYJC SDP.. But hey, i know i'll be able to make it... I have more help than i expect myself to have... Midyears was really a Wake-up call... I know i can do it and i will see myself in doing so... So what if i get 4 Us for midyears... i know i can succeed. O level has proven me right.

Also, becos of my results, i wanna thank so many ppl..
my chem and maths foundation was really weak... and i pass only H1 lit... i passed becos i know back in sec sch, this person was always helping me.. it was she who made me love lit, she who helped me build such a good foundation that i didnt even just pass. i pass with good results.... You know, this person i will always be thankful for.. you know who you are.

I wanna thank clement too... after knowing that i needed help in studies.. u are willing to spend time helping me.. although we've yet to start our study plan tog.. i know it will be a good one and i know ur help is definitely good to me.. thanks.

Last of all, Miss Cheryl Sim ah!!! It's been neither not long nor short since i know and met you... Thank you for being so ever funny, always speaking to me like a friend despite not knowing me well. And, you know what, you have this unique personality and character that i feel, is rather similar to mine.. only that u are more unique..
