yesterday it just seemed that i stepped into hc. the classroom at the top right of the block, the corner classroom which encompassed a pretty view of many areas of the school. the desks lined up in three rows, paired together.
the classroom we shifted to. newsweek balls concealing paper shreds. smashed windows. broken fire extinguisher. exploring paths to evade bookings. sepak tekraw. classroom soccer. maniacal laughter in lessons. entertaining teachers. all soon to be gone like the wind, a thing of the past, only to be engraved in the memories at the back of our minds.
i'm really thankful to have landed in what seems the two best iSpark classes in terms of the people there. two 'L, you guys were really great, we had great times together, and were really bonded, despite many differences which lay between us. disagreements arose of course, but it was never kept within, but just spewed out and settled. when i thought that nothing could get better, along came four 'O. you guys were beyond description. you erased my misunderstandings about two 'M, you showed me what real classroom joy was.
what i feel now is really beyond words i guess. throughout this year, all i've been thinking about is to look forward to jc, but only now has the reality set in, that we're all going to split up. no doubt, we're still enclosed within the same boundaries, but we've reached the crossroads and it's time to part.
special thanks to those in school who have really played a significant role in my life.
wenhao:
we're quite different in many areas i guess, and it was really my fortune that i got to know you better. you're really a great person to hang out with, to chat with, and just your personality's special! although we don't talk much anymore ever since we split classes in sec three, it's still a joy to hang around you on occasions.
xuancheng:
i always found you to be slightly eccentric in lower sec, but got around that. adelaide really gave me the opportunity to understand you better, and to just realise how fun a person you are.
cavin:
been hanging around you ever since sec one, and i was your accomplice in the formation of the explosive newsweek balls. i still remember the laughter we brought about when confetti erupted from the innermost layer. i moved away from you for a period of time, for no reason whatsoever, but you've been a great friend nonetheless, the fellow slacker.
baifeng:
i only got to know you well after adelaide, and mainly this year i guess. you were too popular for me i guess, since i didn't really like hanging around stars in the school. but i got to know you better in the later days, and realizing how entertaining you really are, although you're some busy man (:
russell:
someone else i got to know better in adelaide as well, fun-loving, really random. really nice too, extremely entertaining and enjoyable to hang around with, as well as crashing his house. have a nice flight to toronto!
dahwei:
perhaps one of my greatest regrets. i remember just how surprised i was, when i saw you on day one in my class. i remembered you from LP, the times during the lessons where we would just do rubbish with eugene. the top left table, the guys' table, still deep within my memories. i remember how you sufferred for a duration when some of us went overboard in lower sec, and you ended up with bruises. our parents even went to the point of asking us to keep away from each other, but there wasn't much effect. and especially adelaide, i really enjoyed the times with you, the photo i took with you on the slide.
but i don't know what happened ever since then, for you just appeared to have transformed completely this year, i couldn't even talk to you anymore. never mind the closeness, we didn't even seem to know each other anymore, just like any other acquaintances. till today, i'm still in the dark. maybe it was something i did, perhaps it was something which came between us, but the result of our friendship is probably the greatest regret i have in school.
