The good o' Skool days...

I don't know about the o' school days that you guys have.. It might differ as we are from different school or different age or even different generation... Last nite when i was reading my income tax quiz... yes i was actually studying for a clueless quiz which was fud up... but anyways, i thot of the good o school days... When i was in school i couldn't wait to grow up .. can't wait to go out and work.. and i was actually brainwashed that tertiary school life is much better... the good o school daes was only 45 mins per period.. we had to take like around 6 subjects plus PE plus CCA plus thous nonsense school stuff... school was like the whole day we practically lived in school... thous were the days we bitched, cry, cheer and laugh together... those was the time where we have plenty of time to study and play... now we have to study the whole text book for 15 weeks... this is ridiculous but this is tertiary education...

I still remember was the days where i can chat on the phone with my friends till wee hours in the night.. we chat about practically everything.. in my sightless memory eve was one of my 'chatter' friends... we can sing, cry, bitch, scold and even fall asleep while talking.. we were basically on the phone the moment we were home... sometimes we can even conference call where alot of us just make alot of noise.. till one of us cannot take it and just hang up.. hee~

As times go by, the singing in wee hours of the night gradually reduced as exams stress climb up our neck... we started accompany each other in the wee hours to study.. either on MSN or we camp in the library till they the PA system starts playing... Remembering how we msged each other on msg to check if anyone of us has fallen asleep... how we keep each other updated.. by saying.. ' i go cook noodles', 'i go toilet', 'wah, so late liao ah', ' what you doing ah' every msg did not mean anything to us in the past but now it seems like we are too busy with our lives.. it seems like it has disappear...

Studying has always been a chore.. especially as the o or a levels comes creeping in.. when the first countdown starts, 503425346254231870 days to O/A levels... camping after school in the library.. meeting in MacDonald.. meeting at some people's house to study.. remedial and more remedials... although sometimes we end up doing anything but studying.. those times were fun... my friends made studying fun...

And of course you high school sweetheart... when you would quarrel with your parents because of them... or leave school just to go out with them... watching movies... taking the train from one end to the other end.. our bus/train fare was 55cents no matter how far we go... those were the days you find secret letters... or secret chocolate or little gifts under you table... little notes that whisper sweet nothings that a teenager would go head over heels for... those little gifts or notes to encourage each of us to hang on... that we will be there for each other no matter how much math or science homework we have.. to remind that we were there for each other even we cannot me together in the same class... the surprises that you get when you were studying with your friends in the library.. the balloon... the packet lunch... the liang tea.. the gummi worms.. these are o so familiar in the good o school days... even if they do not happen to you .. you can still see the sweetness and how thoughtful it was... cause most of the time they will share their expensive gummi worms or expensive chocolate with you.... Isn't it interesting that you grow older these don't happen to you anymore.. or you don't see it anymore? Is it because people are too busy already? they rather sleep than accompany you through the night... they have better things to do...

maybe I'm outdated people encourage each other differently... or older people tend to forget more on thoughtfulness or our lives are too hectic to even think of the people around us... would we buy a drink for a friend that was in the libaray as kopitiam is in the way... or even want to think of encouraging them tell them to 'jia you'... as i was browsing through my msn last night.. i saw alot of friends online... some of them are close whereas some might be just hi bye friends... I was guilty not to even say hi to the close friends... knowing that some of them are having a bad week.. i just conveniently ignored them... I din even bother asking what were they doing.. and they din bother to keep me awake too... lost were the good o school days when we were there for each other.. when there was at least some fun in studying...

I miss thous late nite ice creams and tau huay surprises.... awww....
