another chapter of our lives is starting.. i'm scared.. afraid of changes.. looking back, i realise how things have changed and how we've all matured with time.. to think about it, images of primary school days are still clearly etched in my mind.. memories do stay, especially good ones.. i believe it'll remain forever.. remember during primary school, most of my weekends are spent watching power rangers, smurfs, transformers, ninja turtles, n my fav captian planet!! my fav special power was water!! always try to wake up early to catch these great shows.. remember the days when we grew up brushing our teeth during recess. i will squat by the drain with all my classmates beside me, and brush my teeth with a coloured mug (mine was red if i'm not wrong.. i'm from red house!!). the teachers said you must brush each side 10 times.. -_-'' not like we all care.. haha.. remember i was very much underweight then and ordering 40 cents chocolate or strawberry milk was a must!!! i remember how much i used to hate it because it's not cold.. friends never fail to help me finish it when the teacher was not looking.. awwwwww.. guess i'll never be underweight again in my life.. still able to recall how my friends used to piggyback me around and they'll say, "jia wen... you're so light...". now? no longer manz.. sobz.. SBS buses used to be non-airconditioned. The bus seats are made of wood and the cushion is red. The big red bell gives a loud BEEEP! when pressed. There are colourful tickets for TIBS buses.The conductor will check for tickets by using a machine which punches a hole in the ticket. i miss Charity Elephant!! donation envelops will be given to us during children's day, asking for donation. but i usually keep the envelop coz i thing it's sooooo cute... days after exams are the best.. my classmates will bring their barbie doll house to sch, polly pockets, connect 4, chess (both chinese n english), 5 stones, skipping ropes, paper dolls n much much more!!! what busy time.. our schedules are packed with activities.. including watching bibles stories in AVA room!!! i just simply loves them.. yes, jesus loves me; for the bible tells me so.. haha.. remember such greenery in school.. even our uniform is green.. not forgetting the 15 cents crackers and the lollipop is the diamond on the ring. chewing gum was not banned back then.. i dont read books.. but nancy drew, famous 5, sweet valley were the thickest books my friends read.. i did try reading.. but always fall aslp without fail.. the most common vulgarity i said in primary sch was 'stupid idiot'!!! never know more than that.. so innocent rite? haha.. still is lar.. remember my school days are so full of life in the early morning b4 assembly.. people go to sch early to play monkey-bars, balancing beam etc.. n i was so gd at it.. until i fell one day.. then never dare to play again.. i'll just climb the super steep hill beside the monkey-bars.. such loser rite? haha.. playing catching was the IN thing and twist as the magic word.. my notes were made of recycled paper.. those yellow and rough ones.. always have holes after too much erasing.. i still keep some.. haha.. my mum used to make me carry those waterbottles that were slinged around my neck and it's a must everywhere i go.. arghz.. look so swakoo.. i hate it.. science is always interesting and cool.. with the balsam and the angsana being the most important plants of our lives, guppies and swordtail being the most important fish. We carry out experiments of our own to get ourself badges for being a Young Zoologist/Botanist etc. Every children's day and national day you either get pins or pens with 'Happy Children's Day 1993' or dumb files with Happy National Day 1994'. but i do use them.. haha.. in pri 5 i'll bring the pri 1s for recess.. help them buy food and all.. like a big sister.. haha.. i remember when i was pri 1 my big sister's name is xueping.. n when i'm in pri 5 my little sister was an indian.. -_-.. i only help her for the first 2 days.. after that i always run away.. haha.. i'm a racist!! We wore Panda, BM2000, BATA or Pallas shoes then moved on to Paichi & US Masters in sec school. hmm.. not really lar.. i wore track shoes in sec sch.. i've got a cool sch.. haha.. School dismissal time was normally around 1 pm. how i miss it manz.. friends considered you lucky and rich if your parents gave you $3 or more for pocket money everyday. i hate it when the teacher asks us to line up according to height.. i'm always the first.. arghz.. is juz like when ur sgt asks u to stand in front during NDP or passing out parade.. damn sian diao one lor.. and i remember we have to line up after recess everyday.. got to stand under the hot sun until the teacher says we can go.. summore muz go by class.. can die manz.. hot like mad.. and one fine day.. no teacher come n dismiss us.. den everybody stand there like idiots.. so being teh nice girl.. i asked the first ger of the first class to go lar.. n guess wat? got asked to go to 6A(first class) in the middle of my lessons and got scolded for being MISS NG (we called teachers by miss blah blah blah or mrs lalala wat)... so paiseh lor.. i still remember the teacher who scolded me.. miss huan.. i can forgive but cannot forget her!!! hahah.. catching caterpillars is our fav activity in upper pri.. for a period of time, dont know why, smps suddenly has lots n lots of caterpillars.. we'll bring bottles to sch to catch them.. then use paper to cover the opening n poke holes so as to let them breathe.. they turn into larves very soon.. damn gross.. haha.. Autograph books were loaded with "Best Wishes", "Forget Me Not", and small poems like "Bird fly high, hard to catch. Friend like you, hard to forget". Class monitress,prefects loved to say "You talk somemore, I write your name ah!" i used to run to the tv in 1988-89 whenever they play "Count on Me Singapore" and "We are Singapore" and sing those songs with such passionate feelings and pride to be a Singaporean. to think back.. i think i look like some bai chi to my parents.. oh manz.. i really hope to turn back time and be much younger.. time when i dun need to worry about anything.. play like not knowing what die means.. climb up n down not knowing what fall means.. ok.. this entry is really long.. wonder how many actually bother to finish reading this.. anyway.. i just want to tell the whole world how much i enjoyed my primary sch days!!! i feel so blessed.. keke..
