The Memoirs In NY-The Fellowship Of 04S3A (Part l)
Prologue
As I saw my name on the transparency,I really could not believe my eyes. After staring incredulously at it for a split second which seems like forever, I finally accepted the number that I saw and came back to reality. When I received my results from my form teacher, I saw that number again.
'11'.
Now I start to believe that miracles do happen. Usually, what I see in my results are numbers of two digits and starting with '2'. Finally I can get into NY without getting an appeal.[and getting rejected.]
Chapter 1 - The Orientation : Alsein (As One)
Stepping into a new environment means that you will have to take the initiative to make new friends. I got into OG 20 - Delvok under the house Vulcan. Met a whole lot of people.[sorry that i couldn't remember all] Those that i still get in contact [or at least a Hi-Bye friend] are my OGLs, yu cheng and of course marc.
It was the time to choose for the subject combination. I was deciding on S1, [Maths, Bio and Chem] S3 [Maths, Chem and Phy] or S7 [Maths, Bio, Chem and Phy]. After a day of consideration, I decided on S3.
Chapter 2 - The Class Of 04S3A
After the long orientation week, I found myself in the class of 04S3A! Everyone was quite cool but the atmosphere wasn't stilfling. Some chatted,[since they've already knew each other] some introducing themselves.
Allow me to introduce all of my fellow classmates from 04S3A before I give my anecdotes during my 2 years in NY... ...
[In no position of Merit. By index number~] First on the list is Kevin. He always give the cool face. However, his interpersonal communication wasn't that cool towards others. He's an approachable guy,but a homophobic.~["eeeee,so gay", "chao mugger", "ku ku lah" etc are his trademarks~] You can share your problems with him. Can be a good soulmate I guess. He's as close to a professional in soccer. That's why he's the vice-captain. He's a mugger.[although he refute this statment alot of times already] Always motivated to study. Your results will prove everything!~
Up next is Cheryl [a.k.a. cher cher]. She that gal who will give that innocent face and smile. Sometimes, I feel like covering her mouth with somthing[like NH3~lol] when she's calling for me.[jkjk~] It's just embarrassing. Anyway, she's also another person that can lend a listening ear. She's always optimistic about things. That maybe why she's a cheerful gal. Good life that she can go to US to study. Visit us soon!~[my next-table study buddy]
Next is myself. I was a loner during my growing up years. Most of the time I would be by myself at home doing my own stuffs.[ and talking to winnie~I love my winnie~lol.oh no! I sound like ZC~lol..jkjk~] Perhaps because I was a cancerian? [An introvert? A homely person?] That's why I interact less with strangers. However, I tried to open up when I was in my late secondary school years and more during my JC life. Hopefully I can come to a stage where I can be comfortable with friends around.[and even strangers]
Zhen Cong[a.k.a. zc] was my class buddy supposedly. That's during our first CT when Mr. Tan assign the person sitting next to us to be our buddy. However, we wouldn't care less.lol. Still remember the conversation we had during our first CT. Anyway, he's a cheerful guy. Perhaps that's why people label him as "gay". lol.[jkjk~] Also an optimistic person. A person who can encourage you when you're down. You will not get bored with this guy around!~Top ranking in late coming.[my part-time study buddy][member of b-ball gang][MU buddy]
Xiao Hui[a.k.a. xh] is the vertically-challenged gal in class.[jkjk~] Can share anything with her also. She's also a person who strive to study hard. When comes to mahjong, she'll 'ning ke sha cuo, bu ke fang guo!' Never see her lose before.[not before my eyes that is~] So, people must think thrice before playing with her. If she lose, she will use the petanque ball and throw you!lol.[my part-time study buddy]
Ding Zhan[a.k.a. dz] is best to be as a friend. [PW guys should know what I mean~lol..jkjk] She can be good friend. But she's always very blur. However, we didn't notice when we're in PW. She can be as fierce as she can be. That's why she always win the arguments. One 'jue zhao' is to bring a turtle close to her and she'll do whatever you say!~lol.[jkjk] [my next-table study buddy] [my PW mate]
Marc was in the same OG as me. However, I got to know him better in class. He's this crappy guy who always generating 'leng xiao hua' in his mind. From the classic 'hong dou and lu: dou' to the 'robber and victim'. He'll crap just about anything. He's also good in his general knowledge. His 'gao nan du dong zuo' is to sleep on two roller chairs!~
Sok Fong[a.k.a. sf] is this intellectual gal who joined the science society. Can be authoritative sometimes, but not overdone. Approachable and easy to talk to. She's the first few people who'll vanish straight after class when she had finished her assignments. Only got to know her more during year 2. She has the 'work hard and play hard' character.
Kelvin Lim [a.k.a. Lim or Mole] He's the first person whom I've seen to talk 2-3 times faster than any other normal person. So, you'll have to go through his tutorials and dictations to obtain the cert. which certifies you that you are a trained listener of himself.[jkjk~] His way of doing things is also extraordinary. But he's still a good friend to have. 'jiang yi qi'.~ By the way, you'll get a whole lot of treats if you go to his house!~[no exploitation intended~][my PW mate][member of b-ball gang]
Johnny is a person who'll give that cool expression but will suddenly spill out some 'yi zhen jian xie' jokes from his mouth. Be it during tutorials,afternoon PE or breaks, he'll always tell jokes on whatever thing that is before his eyes. He's a rugger, so it's no point fighting with him.[unless you're one yourself~] He's someone who will share his experiences and you can reciprocate it.
Leslie[a.k.a. les or lasini] was also another cool guy to me when he was a stanger to me. After getting to know him better, he's actually quite a crapper. Will always have some talk-cock sessions during breaks and even afternoon PE.[cause both the teachers and us were slack~] Most of the time people will get niao-ed by him.[people like zc, ad etc] So don't take it seriously. Can sense that he's a 'gan xing' but reserved guy. He always have the drive to study. When it comes to food, he'll be able to finish whatever is there.~[my regular study buddy][member of hougang gang][member of b-ball gang]
Kelvin Low[a.k.a. low or kelv] is another crapper but a mild one. Always like to act 'sey' but still stuck with us in afternoon PE. The one who had missed out the 'Friday the 13th NAPFA Test'!~ Always motivated to study. He's this scheming guy who'll scheme all the way if he wants to. So, don't be easily tricked by his 'tian yan mi yu'!~ But it was good to have him in PW. If not it's impossible for us to scheme our way through it.~[my PW mate][my regular study buddy][member of hougang gang][member of b-ball gang][MU buddy]
Marcus[a.k.a. eva] is someone who can be extremely enthusiastic in the things he deem worthy of it. Had the same ambition that is to be a teacher. Think he'll be much appreciated by primary school kids.~A straightforward guy. 'gan cui li luo'. A smart guy too. But when he encounter a difficult question, he'll spend his rest of his day trying to solve it. A determined guy!~[part-time study buddy][member of b-ball gang][MU buddy]
Pei Wen [a.k.a. pw or Anastasia] is another intellectual gal. Same as sf, she's the first few poeple who'll vanish after class. Strives hard for her basketball as well as her academics. She also knows how to play hard too. That's why it seems that she doesn't study at all but results still 'tok kong'.
Adelene[a.k.a. ad or yaogui] ,as the nickname suggests, likes to eat. Eats alot. Eats alot more than usual gals. She also likes to shop. That's why she's slogging her life with her multiple jobs. If you want to make an appointment with her. It must be at least 1 week in advance. Cause she has commitment and her jobs. Also, she cannot stay overnight. That's why she wasn't seen in our chalet. She likes to gossip. To know any 'nei mu xiao xi' can approach her.~[my part-time study buddy]
Yong Xiang[a.k.a. yx] is an intellectual guy. Most of the time his name is in the Honour Roll. But he very 'zhao gu' his friends as well. Able to share problems with him. A good listener. Sometimes, crap abit to liven up the stressful atmosphere. He like no stranger to strangers. Can even crap with people he didn't know.[part-time study buddy][member of hougang gang][member of b-ball gang]
Ho Kong[a.k.a. hk] is a cheerful guy at times. Money is not a problem to him~.But hopefully he'll try and save up abit cause output is more than input. Don't be surprise when he calls your name for nothing.lol.[part-time study buddy][member of hougang gang][member of b-ball gang]
Xie Qiang[a.k.a. quek or xq] was from the same secondary school as me but didn't know him then. He's another person who'll provide encouragement to friends and lend a listening ear. An active person as he'll usually go for morning exercise and other outdoor activities. Top ranking for the biggest room for himeself~.[member of b-ball gang]
John is quite a holy person. Visits church more often than meeting us.~He's also a cheerful guy. Optimistic about anything. He runs alot. Sprinting is what he'll usually do. Must eat more calcium tablet if not have high risk of getting knee problems~.(jkjk~) A person who has a good listening ear. Sometimes providing sound advice. He craps alot too.~He'll try and taste every food place in front of him.~[member of hougang gang][member of b-ball gang]
Zheng Yu[a.k.a. zy or fi5hy] is our only vegetarian in class. Always have to 'da bao' his food when we go out to eat unless we are eating vegetarian food. Always optimistic. Strives hard to excel. Someone who is dependable. Always able to counter the niao-ing from others but soon it'll come to a point where he can't say anything~.[regular study buddy][member of hougang gang][member of b-ball gang]
Jin Jie[a.k.a. jj] is a afraid of 'ma fan' guy. So, everything he does is nice and neat. A perfectionist. Always there to provide extra notes for us. That's because he's always determined to study hard. Sometimes u can see him at the photocopying machine printing extra notes~. A reserved guy.[PW mate]
