image heavy (:
managed to upload some pictures.
of the past and present. it matters. everything does.
did some quiz like yesterday and realised something.
academically-wise, like school days.
i really hate it when something crops up last minute.
i can't stand change in that sense.
like planned extra lessons cancelled or sports heats or whatever.
CANT TAKE IT. must learn to be more flexible and RELAX.
other than that, im pretty fine with changes i guess.
unless im looking forward to go out and then you stand me up or dont turn up.
i'll flip. seriously. then perhaps make other plans.
if not, i'll sulk for like a few minutes. AIYAAAAAh.

(i got craving for sushi.)

saw my primary school buddy in the bus.

we were best pals in primary 1.
you know what was the sad thing?

we didnt even adknowlege each other's presence.
she might not even remember me.
she's doing tourism and hospitality at temasek polytechnic.
her L1R4 is like 5? her first 3 months was at HCI.
i guess te stark difference is obvious and right-in-your-face.
she moved up to EM1 class and it was all different.
it was never the same again. Top PSLE scorer. WOW.

MINYU. remember the time in Primary 1, we both coincidentally forgot to bring our pencil cases to school? we both panicked. being the normally guai students. it has happened before but it was only one of us in the past. we could lend the other a pencil but that time, we were helpless! her mother came to the rescue. with her pencil case with extras for me and charsiew. her mum cooks good charsiew.

alot of memories. SOFI. another primary school mate.
she had a older sister who looks like a carbon copy of her.
with dirty blond hair and brownish/green eyes. she had a finnish father.
and we had an elaborate scheme to work out this personal digital assisant thingy.
of course it didnt work out but.. it was fun organising it and talking about it.

XIUHONG. a nice, soft spoken boy who actually just lives 12 stories above me.
how cool is that? we just to stack or flip chairs, arrange cushions around our houses and play like some obstacle course thingy.
person who could do it the most quickly.

and there was VANESSA. ONGPOHTING.
will remember that as there were like 2 vanessa-s. we wrote like mini-biograpghies to each other. what we liked to drink and eat...gossiped at that tender young age. i friend you, you friend me, bluffbluff friend her? well, relationships have definitely evolved since then (:

ANDANDAND. of course, CHERIE&AISYAH&RAUDHAH
how can i forget the many trips to whitesands macdonalds? and the library? and the times spent going to school early to copy homework.
we were the craziest "good" bunch ever. we enjoyed helping MISS ANGELINA LEOW so much lah. like jus to go to class early to 1) avoid the crowd 2) to hang out and chill and slack we would go to the staffroom door and wait for like books to be carried up or files... stuff like that. (:

Primary school was a time when we could live carefree days with no homework or stress. You can have make-pretend boyfriends and have a helluva good time doing the most nonscenical of things.You can play catching with the boys, not worry about sweating furiously and about your image. Whatever that meant.
