Oh yeah. Let's go through the stuff I went through for the past 14 years. Maybe for the past 2 years since the Primary-6-going-on-Secondary-1-times.
-Getting the (pathethic) 221 for PSLE.
Ah, It's like so, screwed. I wanted more. But I guess 221 is enough. Enough for me to get into HIHS. Mommy wanted me to go there purely because 1)It's a Catholic school. 2) Most of her friends' kids are there. o.o (Yeah and when I went HIHS, some of 'em went telling their mothers about me saying I was "flirting" around in school. Like what the duck please.)
-Getting into Deyi instead of HIHS
I remember that day so clearly. I thought my chances were pretty high to get into HIHS. But I guess I was wrong. I got into my second choice, Deyi. And straight away, I went to HIHS with my dear ol' sister to appeal. That day happened to be a rainy day. A very heavy rainy day. Raining down on my parade.
-Having second thoughts about going HIHS.
After going to Deyi for that orientation whatever crap, I had second thoughts. I could have dropped out of the appeal but Mommy and dear ol' sister stopped me. Daddy was fine with it. So I was praying (Yes, literally.) to NOT get into HIHS. In the end, on 31st December, I received a phone call telling me that my appeal was a success. Omgawkkkkk. I broke down into tears immediately I hung up okay. Yeaps, it was THAT drama.
-Getting into One Charity.
I felt like a freak on 3rd Jan please. It's like, I was thinking to myself, I was the only one who got into through appeal. Somehow not a "pure" student. After the camp whatsoever, I didn't feel that freaky because I found out 5 of us were appeal cases. o.o So yeah.
-Knowing Debs and Abg.
What a moment to relive. We had our ups, we had our downs. I don't know how we got together as a clique. But, during the June hols, Abg and I had a conflict over some personal stuff. When Term 3 started, I was soooo cold towards them, even to the extent of wanting to change my place to NOT sit next to Abg. I remembered, I got my lil' note ready to pass to Mrs Tay. Then Abg wrote me a lil' note then we talked things out and then everything pretty must cleared up after that. We were a clique once again. (:
-Knowing the rest of One Charity.
It's also what makes me smile whenever I think of it. The girls, the boys. The boys used to be so, childish. Some even thought of us as germs whatsoever. The girls, I'm thankful for 'em yeah? We're pretty much very united compared to the other classes where cliques are veryyyy rampant. It's a blessing to get into this class. (: Although last year, I sorta regretted it.
-Daryl Chan, Daryl Song.
So the total at that time added to a big ol' 42. DarylC was a transfer student from Australia. Till now, I still think he's trying so hard to be one of the cool kids. Btw, he's not in the Chaotics now. DarylS. Probably one of the nicest guys I've ever met since I stepped into HIHS. Ah, I love him lah.
-Yay! It's the Two Chaotics now!
You must be thinking. How did we get the name Chaotics? It was thanks to Abg and the class tee. (: Two Charity's TOO CHAOTIC. Deal With it. Such memories I never want to forget. (:
- On growing older mentally and physically.
I noticed. 13 is so much different compared to 14. This year, I realised so many things and regretted so many things I did in the past. If only a time portal was invented. But, look forward and then you'll see so much better. (: Being (close to) 14 also made me think about ways to tackle how harsh life and reality can be. Life ain't a bed of roses, people say. People might think, I'm just acting mature for my age. I can't bring myself to agree because how you wanna tackle your life and how you wanna accept things comes at any age. For some people, it may not be now. But for me, I guess the time's now. I'm just hoping, and praying, that I'll live through my final 2 1/2 years in HIHS with joy. And so do everyone. (:
