My childhood days was spent in the Anglo-Chinese Primary School
where i made many friends that are still with me after all these years...*sob*...get
me a tissue....
I was a geeky kid...hard to believe huh???
:Þ but my memories of those days were of cadet scout meetings on saturdays...the
daily dosage of 'chatek' kicking...playing catching when all us little kids
would throw our tiny bodies against the very springy fence to be 'safe' from
the 'policemen'...and of coz...the days of 'hamtam bola'...where we pummel each
other with tennis balls or 'chateks' with 6 layers...u really are a kid only
once in ur life...*sob*
Moving on to Secondary School...a whole
new world awaited me...gone were the days of carefree innocence...the transition
from 4 to 8 subjects was a culture shock in the beginning but we all pulled
thru...
In a sense...i guess i was priveledged to have stayed with the
same class throughout my entire secondary school life..(Yeah 1234 A3!!!!)...there
were the madatory massed fires on our favourite strip targets...which meant
that our class was a danger zone to all foreigners from other classes :)...the
'tau pok' sessions when we juz mass squeezed a random target....that was really
fun...
And of coz....Scouting....something that
has given me great pride and joy over the years...and still does...those hours
we spent under the sun building pioneering projects...the footdrill courses...the
leadership training courses...the 'kiss' of life we gave to the CPR dummy....and
of coz...those marathon arcade sessions we had in magicland...how poignant these
memories are....*i need another tissue*...and of coz the culmination in shaking
Mr.Ong Teng Cheong's left hand!
The JC years were a B|ur....2 yrs and it
waz over...did i regret not going to ACJC???...well a little...but a guess a
new environment after 10 yrs in ACS is a good change...w/o which i would not
have made some of the frens i have today...String Orchestra was a whole new
experience for me....for once...more than my music teacher and immediate family
were 'treated' to the harmonies from my violin...t'was fun to say the least.
Army.....wow...the toughest school of them yet...BMT...can't
remember much 'cept for the push-ups and lamp-post running sessions...OCS...all
my buddies and great pals...so it is true the saying..'only in adversity is
real friendship formed'...to all the great frens in 23SA...or should i say 257SA...haha...ORD
loh!
And now...here i am...in the final leg
of my education b4 the real world beckons...it's been a great half-year so far....at
least my class
is quite onz...we'll see wat happens from here
Till i get a lot more nonsense to say...
