Looking Back

Morning!! Rise and Shine! :) Insomnia has chosen the most perfect time to kick in. Exam period. :/ and that explains why i'm still awake at this hour. You know you can't digest anymore notes when you start to read everything wrongly and you have to read twice or trice just to understand a simple statement.

So decided to toss away the notes a few hours back and i started to pick up the novel that i just bought that-i-was-not-supposed-to-open-until-after-exams-one and read. It's a book by Hlovate entitled Tunas. It's quite an old book actually. I've read it before (can't remember whose book). I bought it again for i find the story interesting and something i know i will read over and over again, and still smile, laugh and cry with the story.

It somehow mirrors my secondary school journey. Bitter, sweet, sour, tasteless journey towards adulthood. The care free days my friends and i had together. Where memories are made. The naughty moments we shared. Looking back down that road that we walked sometimes just make me smile and sometimes i ask myself why we did what we did. We are known for the things that we did. Just like the characters in Tunas. We enjoyed our school days our way.

Making life miserable for certain teachers until they said we are the worst express class they have ever thought. Some said we are worst than the technical stream students, those are typical stereotyping teachers mindset. Thinking that all express students are well behave and will go 'yes teacher' at their every word. Well what can i say, we chose to be different.

I think if the parade square could talk the tiles would have say " Da takde muke org lain ke aku nak tenggok. Balik-balik muke korang ni!" :) We seems to enjoy sun tanning during lessons so much or lets just say we prefer to have classes outside of class. Learning from a window view can be very interesting you know. If you know what i mean. hahahahaha...

Science lesson is the best. Practical lessons that is. Especially Chemistry lessons. Lain yang Cikgu suro buat lain yang kite buat. Nasib tak meletup lap tu. We still did the experiment as instructed coz we have to record it but at the same time our mind works in creative ways and we tried to be Einstein at times. And there's this time where almost the whole class was thrown out of class cause we did not complete our work. We really hold on to the word One for all and all for one. Didn't we?

Every teacher thought we couldn't make it through secondary school. But there was one who saw the light in us. He believe in us. And we live through that believe. He's our pillar and our strength. When the whole teacher unit brings us down, he's there to stay. We can never thank him enough. Mr Nair you are the best form teacher one could possible have. Thank you for the support and for everything.

Reading Tunas, about Addin and her friends make me miss my bitchalization much. And i stop reading when Addin and her classmates when camping together. The singing session they had during the campfire just bring back memories of OP Bazaar. We had this Bazaar in school every year (not sure if they still have it now) and the students will put up stores and sell all sorts of stuff. From food to handmade stuff to a karaoke place and not forgetting the highlights of the bazaar, performance by our very talented students indeed.

There was this year where the boys did a performance. They did  a song by Hoobastank  the all famous "The Reason" at that time as well as a song by Maroon 5. And that's how i get hooked to Maroon 5 too.
At that point of time i told myself, just like what Addin from the book Tunas said to herself

"I'm gonna miss this moments later. Big time!!" 

And well i was right. I am missing this moments big time!!! I miss my friends. A reunion sounds great don't you think. ;) We (a few of us) ever tried to do a reunion once but it failed halfway. It's ok...we shall try to have one reunion soon. Or someone can get married and than we can all meet up there and kpo2. Hahahahahahahaha.....

Ouh just incase you are wondering how we fared for our O'levels behaving like we did...well i would say we manage to survive secondary schools and proceed for a post secondary education. Alhamdulillah. Naughty. naughty jugak...tapi future tetap diutamakan. *wink2


So long and goodnight! (or should i say good morning?)


Lots of Love
