wah lau. made me cry la shit. i nver knew all this while. i just kept thinkin that i was a pest to you, and that i didn't mean as much to you as you did to me. even when you wished me luck with ivan then.


on a happier note, i went back to anderson. talked to so many teachers! Mdm Wong, Mr Ow, Mr Ang, Mdm Lim, Mr Ng, Mdm Hee, Miss Thoo, Mdm Liau, Mdm Tey.... mrs ashari was busy so i didnt manage to talk to her...

managed to get Mr Ow first, so he updated me on changes in e school since i've left...5 years ago. LOL. and so we saw this lady approach some students with an extremely fierce look on her face. so i casually asked Mr Ow, "wah she look so fierce..."
AND SHE TURNED OUT TO BE THE NEW PRINCIPAL! apparently Mrs Tan Wai Lan is Deputy Director in MOE now, along with Mrs Chan Khah Gek.

we caught up on so much! however, there were TONS of new and young teachers! even the canteen vendors didn't change much, and they recognised me! awfully nice place, with a hell lot of memories.. i was trying to get Mr Ang Mrs Ashari n Mdm Hee tru intercom, then mdm hee popped up! omg, the look on her face was PRICELESS I SWEAR! she glanced past me then she took a double take, and she couldn't remember what she was talkin to someone else about.
my squash teacher in charge, and my maths teacher. one of my dearest teachers..
and then Mdm Lim walked past and she joined in the fun. updated them about my classmates' status...
Mr Ang (he gained a bit of weight, Doreen Lim must be feeding him tons.) came over, so it was like a small gathering of teachers.. he told me about wad happened to Ridwan, and we felt sad over our classmates' deaths, and someone else from the Express Stream passed away recently too. I have always missed Anderson, until I finally found time to go back and reminisce about those times. Mr Ang suddenly mentioned Doreen Lim, his wife, and i was abit dumbstruck, cos we always talked about it but we didn't ask him upfront. I mean, come on, he's the Discipline Master! so i was like speechless for quite a while. He was never a DM during Physics Lessons. That's what i admire so much about him. I remember how i would ask him frequently last time, "Ho Bo?" it meant "Feeling good?" then he would reply that everytime he saw me he would get a tummy ache! and he replied in Hokkien. -_- IMAGINE UR DISCIPLINE MASTER SAYING IT!
caught up on so much, and i realised i really miss mr ang's lame jokes! to me, he'll never be the Discipline Master 100%. he's still my lame and crappy Physics teacher.

i met Mdm Wong too, and she told me so much about her children, and her children's friends.
I quote, "those little rascals". So much encouragement from all of them, really glad for it cos i have been feeling a bit demoralised these days due to certain issues in my personal life and at work too. and so Mdm Wong brought up Alvin, which led me to his blog, and find his....entries dated oh-so-long ago. made me realise that i mattered to people, even though it may be long ago.
there was once in Sec 5, Alvin was patrolling the corridor along the 4th floor. There were some boys playing soccer and Alvin told them to stop. They refused, but they promised they wouldn't hurt anyone. I never liked ball games, except squash la of cors. So when i walked past them i kept as close to the side as possible. Suddenly, the ball hit the side of my face, near the eye. My specs flew dunno how many damn metres and i almost fainted la.
Thank goodness i wasn't wearing contact lens that day. New specs though. =/

The guy was so apologetic he wrote a letter to both Alvin and me. Paid me back too. I remember washin my eye for like 10 mins then i went back to class. I was crying bcos i was hit at the sensitive area. Didn't cry due to pain though. So my classmate wanted to help me down to the sick bay, LOL i think i looked about ready to pass out any moment. Leon comes up the stairs, looks at the damsel-in-distress, rushed into class to put his bag down, came out, took me by the shoulders and helped me down the stairs. I suspect my frens were afraid I would faint or something. HAHA. it was quite funny seriously. But Leon had a firm grip, so i was quite stable. It would be quite a scene if i fell flat on my face. Until now, I have never forgotten it. Bcos for the first time, I felt like someone swept me off my feet. CHIVALRY.

So my classmates brought my bag down, and came after class. I was damn scared, i kept crying and crying. It was so painful i couldn't take it. I thought i would go blind la seriously. Alvin told me it would all be ok, and he brought me to the doctor, sheltered me using his umbrella all the way cos I feel even more pain when i was in contact with direct sunlight.

Turns out my cornea was scratched damn badly. I dunno whether there's still a scar there now, but it was one hell of an experience. I covered up for my fren, saying I knocked into e locker door. Major Chong must have had his doubts... :)

my best friends, i knew them through anderson. even the sweetest people, most giving ppl i know come from there.


so many memories in Anderson. too many to count. even after graduation. chemistry strikes in places when you least expect it :)

THANK YOU!
