The Other Lecturers
Under physics department, nothing much to say. Mr Sim deliver his lecture and that's it. Mr Kooh likes to waste time on 1 slide and do lots of demostrations. Mr Tan adds abit of his lameness into his lecture by adding characters such as Mr Potential etc. Mrs Heng is that motherly-figure who just deliver her lecture; doesn't care much about her target audience. But when she does, she start to give her long nagging session with us. Mrs Lee sometimes we feel that she doesn't really understand how to teach. That's why people starts to question about her ability in physics.

Chem department was abit better. Mr Ng is unanimously voted for the best lecturer, ya? Have earned respect from us. Mr Lee just breeze thorough his lecture. Mrs Lim SH like Mrs Lee in physics department. Mrs Celine Lim was quite okay, just that she thinks it's unbearable for her when she learnt that the questions we asked are expected for us to know the answers already. Mrs Huang would tell cold jokes and sometimes talk to herself. Really nags alot whether she's giving lecture or not. Mr Low just a mediocre lecturer. Ms Sim sometimes like to suan people during lecture, maybe Mrs Lim as well. lol

Maths Department seems to just revolves around Ms Yue and Mrs Wong. Ms Yue also like to suan people, and sometimes give abit of scolding here and there. Mrs Wong will just start talking once she got hold of the mike and will only stop when she hears the bell. But, sometimes, she'll still continuing with the lecture. Both of them have the habit of talking loudly into the mike and blasting the PA system. haha

GP lectures were boring in nature. Can't be helped. So the lecturers must be something to deliver a good lecture. Mr Tong Yee should be the best lecturer. Deliver idea across well; with some visual aid along the way. But then some of his ideas quite complex. Ms Chiew also quite good in handling her lecture. Put across interesting points to us and made us want to know more about them. Interactive indeed. Ms Agnes is quite a jovial lecturer. Gives interesting lectures and keeps us thinking. Mrs Too didn't fare very well as the others but nonetheless, she's still able to deliver her lecture.


Honour Roll and Toilet Roll
Not only did we have academic hierarchy in class (The Elites), but the school also have some kind of a Dean's List which is called Honour Roll. Elites were given by Mr Tan to those who excelled in their academics, especially in physics. Some elites were hk, pw, sf, yx, quek etc.

Our class had quite a few who got into Honour Roll. Some had their names written on the Roll for the numbers of major exams they had taken! Those who got into the Honour Roll once or more were hk, sf, pw, yx, marcus and quek. Indeed, the class is honoured to have them in the Honour Roll.

Then, Johnny suggested something of the opposite - Toilet Roll; where the people who can't get into the Honour Roll will have their names 'engraved' onto the Toilet Roll. haha. So the rest of us were in that Roll...permanently. (But at least we got ourselves out of that vicious cycle when we got back our 'A' Level results! Perhaps on the More than the toilet,less than the honour Roll.lol)

The Afternoon PE Once Again!
Looks like we've alot to share about our afternoon PE experiences. While we were doing our serious training for the up-coming NAPFA test, a couple of us suffered from injuries like wear and tear of our knees, muscle cramp etc. lol. Cause we had to jump alot and run alot. Jumping across a distance of about less than a 100m to and fro, running round the tracks for god knows how many times already! No wonder some of us had knee problems then. I couldn't walk properly after that jumping cause my knee really in pain. haha Doing lots of pull ups and push ups also made our muscles 'suan' like hell on the following day! Look how terrible is our afternoon PE. That's why we ought to find ways to slack, ya?! haha

However, we'll always be pessimistic about our NAPFA results. Always seem to us that we could not pass this test by the end of year 2. And this song will be heard now and then...

Untitled - Simple Plan
I open my eyes
I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light
I can't remember how
I can't remember why
I'm lying here tonight

And I can't stand the pain
And I can't make it go away
No I can't stand the pain

Chorus:
How could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes
Got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Everybody's screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I'm slipping off the edge
I'm hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again

So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can't explain what happened
And I can't erase the things that I've done
No I can't

How could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes
Got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

I've made my mistakes
Got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

The Canteen
During our first year, we would always be one of the first class to rush to the canteen and start to flood the wanton mee stall. That stall was one of the best, if not THE BEST stall in NY. (but then they have shifted to YJ. sad...T_T) Mian gou Q, la jiao gou la, wanton gou xiang! You'll start hearing "Lai,hou mian de boy/ger!" as the uncle calls for the person at the back for their orders. No doubt, the auntie and uncle are both quite skeptical about the age of low. haha

There are afew better stalls, like the fishball noodle. But then it'll be quite sick if eat too much, cause of the thick layer of oil and the gravy. But still, the 'mian' and other 'liao' she give is JI BU one! So, you'll either feel very full finishing it or you won't get a chance to finish it(for those who can't really eat much).

The Malay stall was also quite good. With the fried drumstick and curry. Swee! But then, the PE teachers banned all stalls to give fried food to us!! So we can't eat the drumsticks from that stall le. Sad. So, didn't patron her stall as much.

The rest of the stalls we just condemn them if situation permits us to do so. haha. Usually, we'll either eat those not-so-popular stalls if the queue of the more popular ones are really damn long! If not, we'll just give our 'brunch' a miss.

We've a special case for adelene as she doesn't like to eat her vegetables. Well, at least for 99.99% of them. haha. So, she doesn't patronise the 'zai' stall before. Meat rules for her!

Conversely, zy only can get vegetables. Sad for him as he only has 1 pathetic stall to patronise. Had to eat the food from that stall for 2 whole years! Having a meal with him must think where to eat where there'll be 'zai' around that area. So, most of the time, he'll need to 'da bao' over.

You'll be at a disadvantage if you are one of the last person to start eating. Cause you'll be sure to help the rest of the table people to clear their plates for them for the same stall.(Usually, most of us ordered from the same stall! So, it'll be quite jialat.) This was our table rule. lol. Will see the last 2 guys competing to finish their meal to the last second! Usually is zc, low or me. Sad. haha

Yaoguis
Yaogui No. 1 - Adelene! She claimed that she could eat a regular pizza all by herself! Congrats in getting this title! There are also other yaoguis in our class. Some have the potential to surpass adelene. People like les, john and low. But john and low seems to lost their ability after getting into army. Once adelene challenged them in eating a regular pizza. But she can't even finish her own small personal pizza still want to challenge. lol. Some allegedly claimed that I'm a black horse. Shrugs. I just help to finish people's food if they can't finish themselves that's all! haha

John's Ass!
Who has the firmest ass of us all? - John! He always claim that his ass firm (still do!). We can't confirm with his statement unless someone had experienced it before! When we're changing for PE, he'll be that metrosexualist who stands in front of the mirror above the basin and 'ADMIRE' his ass! And he would ask around to confirm his above statement. ER DAO! lol

Schemers
No doubt that low is the absolute schemer in class (well, some may say our PW group are all schemers! But low is the ultimate, ya?! haha). Before you knew it, you'd been schem'd. For those who are immuned, good for you. If not, you'll have to suffer from his wrath.

Class Scandal
There are rumours going around about the uncanny relationship between dz and lim. lol
Though the rumours are not proven, but the evidences given by several eye-witnesses who actually caught them red-handed was scadalous! Instances of dz sitting on lim's bed etc...some may even heard her declaration to him. =x Rumours come and go, so nothing actually happened this 2 years and the rumour had somehow vanished...(who wants to revive it?!)

Cliques
Although our class are somehow bonded together, we still have some cliques in our own circles. Usually dz and cheryl; sf and pw; and xh and adelene would be the couples; zc, zy, les, low would be in their circle; hk, yx, zy, quek would be another; jj, lim, low and me would also be in a clique; the rest would just join in any cliques. But over the years (seems as if we've known one another for more than 5 years already, but whatever lah!), small cliques have somehow mixed together; some transference and fusion happened along the way.

Out-cast?
Some information were spread saying that people in our class are being pai-chi-ed. Some correspondances said that xh and adelene were being pai-chi-ed by some small minority in our class. Wondered if this was true. Those who are inquisitive enough can ask the 'dang shi ren' themselves!

A Funny moment
Once adelene was accused for spoiling the chem lab door, but she claimed that the door was already spoilt and she's the one who had discovered it. haha. But then Mr Ng and the rest all arrow her! 'Tiao dao huang he ye xi bu qing!' Wondered what was the verdict... ;P

Classic Jokes
Marc always like to share some of his classic jokes (should be original bah). There are couple of examples like The Robbery and The green bean and red bean...

The Robbery:
Robber:"Yao qian hai shi ming?" ("Want money or life?")
Victim:"Yao qian!" ("Want money!")
Robber:"Nah! Gei ni!" ("Nah! Give you!")

The green bean and red bean:
There was once a green bean stall selling green bean soup. A customer came up to the stall owner and asked if he sells any red bean soup. (Cold zephyr blown past...)

Whiners
Dz and cheryl like to call people by their self-invented 'cute' names with their 'cute' tone.(e.g. me - shun shun, zc - cong cong.) When they want to complain about certain things they'll come to you with their 'cute' voice again. But it's okay after all these years. lol

The rest of the gals not that much, but still they do! Especially when things are not in their way.

Catching a movie was one of our favourite hanging out pass time. Usually after school, we would go down J8 for lunch then catch a movie. Let's see what movies we've watched up till this day... ...

Chill-out Places
We always chill-out around J8 after school for lunch. Usually go to the nearby S11 or the other coffeeshop around that area too. Occasionally, we'll go PM for some pastas. Afterthat, we'll catch a movie and just walk walk around J8.

Favourite Eating Venue
We like to visit the chicken rice stall and the dou hua stall near selegie road area. Those who haven't try before should try the chicken rice and some of their side dishes like 'tai shi dou fu', 'sha lv you tiao' and 'shui jiao tang'! You'll want to visit them again when you taste it yourself. Usually, we'll just walk down the road to have a bowl of dou hua or just the dou nai after we had our meal at the chicken rice stall. Best duo you can have for a good meal!

Influx of MP3s
Some of us saw the advertisement about sales of MP3 players in the newspaper. Some were gian-ed to buy one. So they ' ji bu lang' go buy. Next day, all came back with 'sat sat' MP3 players. lol. Listening to music while studying is good and relaxing anyway. ^_^

Showers
After every morning PE, most of the class people will stay over at the bball court to play a game or two of bball. We always play OT and went to class unchanged. When Mrs Wong came into class (her class is after the morning PE break), she'll say "Those not in proper attire better go change now! I don't want to see anybody in PE attire!". Then most of us will reluctantly go toilet and change while some scheming gals will place their skirts at the top of their PE shorts, covering it. And i suppose Mrs Wong didn't notice it unless she feigned ignorance.

After her lesson, most of us will go to the toilet at level 1 to shower. That toilet is damn humid and stifling. Fainting over there is imminent. After zc, les, low, marcus and me found out the other cleaner toilet at the other island, we always visit that one for bathing. But the con was that one of the shower tap doesn't deliver much water. So we had to go in turns to use that one and only normally-working shower tap there.

Slacking Side of Us
Don't see us as if we are nerds and geeks who only like to study. We actually mastered the essences of slackism. During afternoon PE, we'll try to 'chao keng' as much as possible by skipping some of the reps and most of the time we'll hang around the sit-up and monkey bar area for shade as the sun was scorching hot! But had to continue the exercises when Mr Lim/Ms Tang niao-ed us.

For most of the short breaks we had after lessons, we would play bridge. You can see 2-3 groups of us bridging! It had been the lastest trend at that time. However, after marcus introduced the Go Fish (a.k.a. diao yu) game, our trend has somehow shifted to playing Go Fish. However, when prelims were around the corner, the slacking trend seems to died away...gradually.

Eating Places After School
Before we start our daily routine at the study area, we'll go to the coffeeshop outside NY for lunch cause usually there's nothing nice to eat in the canteen at that point of time. Usually, the rest will order from that Indo. stall, which I try to abstain from.(the guys should know why. lol) We still went to S11(now it had changed to another company owning it) but on rare occasions.

The Most Visited Area
This must be the study area! The study area outside LT2/3 was almost our 'favourite' place in school. Usually almost the whole class will be hanging around there to study before lessons or lectures. Even when school ended, you can find us over there. However, only zy, les, low and me were able to survive there into the early night. It had became, more or less, our second home. The four of us would stay back almost everyday at that study area (perhaps with other people like dz, xh, yx, adelene, cheryl and marcus.) to do serious revision for prelims and 'A' Levels. We would give ourselves breaks; like visit the canteen to buy some snacks and drinks back for a bite. Then, the rest will all go home gradually at around 5-6pm, while the four of us will continue our serious studying until 7 plus. Sometimes, we'll stay back until 8pm, when there'll be announcement made saying "The school will be closing in 15 minutes." (X 2) Everynight, we'll be very lightheaded and then sleepy. When the next day comes, the routine starts all over again. haha

Letter writing
Took my time in writing letters (or testimonials) to the rest of the class. Some (yx, zy and quek) also took the same action and wrote to each and one of us too. Really great to receive little notes from people writing how is their impression on thee isn't it? Thanks man! For those who had spent their time writing~

Class Bond
After we've graduated, our class seems to be more bonded together. We still have frequent outings to chill out - exercising (among zy, les and me...wonder when will we have our bball session again...), meals(lunch/dinner/supper...but usually turns out to be flopped. haha) or just walk walk around to chill out.

Cheryl IS dying to see us guys! haha. She said she really MISSSSS US LOADSS! Hopefully she can come back and have a reunion with us one of these days.
