i miss the times when i was seriously much more innocent and i didn't think about so many complicated stuff and the joy and the fun.
i remember the times where we lined up at the linkway after recess. and those latecomers would have to stand up in front and sing. and yumei's buddy who sang super loudly while the rest were so shy about it.
i remember the pieces of papers that moyi compiled. when we wrote notes about anything and everything and how honglaoshi found one piece of cheena one and she was so mad.
i remember when we were p5, our class had two buddies and i liked one better just because she was cuter. haha. how bloody unfair. and i remember how i was envious of my own buddies cos i thought i was a great buddy and i remember when i was p1 my buddy was a bitch. hahaha. how stupid. and now i can't remember both their names. the only girl whose name i can remember is jozie! haha.
i remember how we used to compare our left handwriting and would draw pictures using our left hand.
i remember how yumei's favourite, missnglaimuay, had accused us of spreading some rumour about her during racial harmony day. like whatever, who could be bothered to spread rumours about her. and the time we had this talenttime and we did this super screwed up dance and she accused us of influencing others again and we were all super pissed and thought she was a bitch.
i remember when we were all short and cute and had no difficulty drinking from the water cooler, looking at our beautiful faces in the toilet mirrors and fitting in our desks and chairs.
i remember bitching about pauline lee and making fun of crumpled skirt! hahaha.
i remember doing canteen duty! sometimes i would just totally cheat. then whenever it was our class doing duty we would get a star cos our class was so nerd nglaimuay forces us to do our duty.
i remember math genius club! hahaha. it was so funny. i remember the times when i was totally smart and good in all subjects and i was in math genius club where i would totally slack. hahah. there was even a badge! i lost it though. haha. i remember the teacher was so dumb. we never paid attention to the lessons and had to do some worksheets so we would just call him over and tell him to help us and he'll give us the answers. and i remember going to xinghua and we went to the GO once and heard the primary school kids complaining to their teacher about each other cos of some fish.
i remember that i was in choir! we had to wear this ugly thing which i still have with me. haha. we had an instructor who was weak in health and fainted in the public male toilet once before. haha. and i remember xinshouxianglian! hahahaha. during the finale where we all had to go up i needed to pee! super uncomfortable. and how xiechaoguang is a sexist cos he only gave the cookies to the boys and not to us. and the school cd! i still have it! hahaha. there was this woman who said i was very polite when i tried to promote the cd to her and she bought it from me in the end.
i remember our territory! where we would sit every reccess. and it had lotsa ants and the different classes would sit together. and canteen food! how there was this wafer craze and mantou and pasta! hahaha.
i remember how miss tan accused me of collecting dust or sth. which is totally not true cos the people sitting with me loved to push it to under my desk. hahaha.
i remember a thousand hundred things that i would never finish typing them out.
actually, we all remember.
And doesn’t that sound familiar? Doesn’t that hit too close to home? Doesn’t that make you shiver? The way things could have gone. And doesn’t it feel peculiar, When everyone wants a little more? So that I do remember to never go that far Could you leave me with a scar?
