What I miss about times passed and gone:

1. waking up at 9 am on saturdays to watch kids central cartoons (powerpuff girls! pokemon! digimon on channel 8! power rangers time force/delta force/aqua force/force = mass x acceleration)

2. my mom picking me up after school, making me lunch, then herding me into her study room to do assessments for 3 hours (she'd teach me math, I'd finish cloze passages so fast it'd make her head spin and tell her that her answer key was wrong)

3. sneaking out of school during lunch time (an offence in primary school -.-) to go to 7-11 to buy slurpees, then hiding under the staircase to drink them with friends while giggling like maniacs at our 'bravery' and 'badass-ness'

4. getting constant 90 marks and above for exams. primary school is evil... it builds you up with these easy papers and then in RI everything collapses.

5. yearly prize-giving sessions: attending rehearsals i.e. lining up in the hall, walking up on stage, taking a fake prize, bowing, walking down, then going for the real thing again with my mom taking photos and my friends watching. see above for primary school is evil point.

6. recess times, where I'd go to the back alley of my school with my 'gang' and play blind man's bluff or catching and muscle smaller kids out of the area. b@d@55

7. chicken rice add rice add meat costing $1.20.

8. first days of school... finding classmates with common interests and talking a little too animatedly about them in a bid to make friends, then attracting other classmates to join in the conversation. Ice-breaking games, stand-up-and-introduce-yourself-to-the-class-with-your-name-class-cca-interests, first day of school lectures.

9. coming back to school after long holidays even though you see some friends very often during the holidays: 'sia lah, new shoes ah?' 'eh new bag!' 'eh you lost weight is it?' 'eh shit i haven't finished the book review yet' 'eh whatever la i only read 5 pages' 'eh we got need to read book meh?!'

10. coming to school in the morning after intense dota games/tower defense games/whatever, walking to 4E to talk about it with the rest

11. buying breakfast from 7-11/S-11 on the way to school and finishing it before the first traffic light

12. ponning various celebrations to go to dhoby to play lan, thinking that the security cameras at the RI gate actually posed a risk to us walking out of school

13. Track & Field days - sitting around with classmates and enthu house people who hand out unchilled cans of pepsi blue to show support for morrison, treating the entire thing as a talk-cock session

14. running to RJ daily to have recess and tapaoing lemon tea and taking orders from 4A for gummies/cookies/pocky/etc.

15. totally ignoring notes and textbooks till about 3 days before exams - i love and hate you, raffles programme

16. orientations, '07 and '08

17. walking to school from bishan and walking back to bishan from school, whether alone or not

18. walking into lectures late with a 50% chance of getting commented on by the lecturer depending on his/her mood. chance increased by 49% if holding food, chance increased by 50% if lecturer is a subject teacher. 102.5% chance of classmates laughing

19. sleeping in lectures and never getting caught

20. fooling around in econs lectures with nicky and always getting caught

21. calling nicole in math lectures and not replying when she picks up

22. smsing tiff in math lectures to tell her to pay attention/stop eating snacks/stop sleeping

23. playing 'TAUFIQ! YOU SAY ... YOU HATE CHINESE?!?!' in chinese-dominated LTs/lifts/canteens/amphis

24. ponning lectures to sleep in the library/finish assignments/mug tests and the best one, go to the canteen with taufiq fungshing and choonwing to eat nice food and go do pullups

25. combined PE lessons with the girls (lol noobs :D)

26. using the school gym and whiling away time that could have been used for productive studying to train distractedly while talking to people like harold and jack

27. staying back after school to watch school productions

28. going out after school in school uniform

29. getting scolded by teachers for my hair, and only cutting it when they issue a warning
