Back to School '09

Hey went back to school on Monday for Teacher's Day!! Only once every 365 days do we officially appreciate the teacher's pain & sufferings they experienced after years of trying to screw things into our thick head of ours. Meeting your classmates the first time in what seemed forever kinda made me sentimental. Even the march through the school's front gate reminds me of our secondary school days. Ah the good old days.

Since my batch has already graduated end of last year, it was a hassle getting into the school. Stupid new principal. Anyways, we had to wait at the front gate under the blistering sun(it was 12pm by the way) for what seem like half an hour before our teacher came to escort the whole gang in. You see, new rules implies that a teacher has to escort us into the school compounds. In any case, no teacher, no entry. We were just in time to catch the middle of the teacher's day concert. Saw the new principal (bleah) giving a speech but didn't care less. Ding-Dong~ Ding-Dong~ The school bell!! Hearing it again really takes me back. Nice.. Looked around the hall and saw couple of my teachers slimmed down, some growing horizontally instead of vertically and two of the teachers i knew are pregnant! Woo.. One's having a baby boy(not sure when it's due to be bring into this world though)!! Way to go, Mr Koh. ;D

Saw Couple of performances but nothing worth writing about. The modern dance was kinda terrible, lacking the sexiness the guys & i always looked out for whenever they performed on stage. Not much expectations as they are the new blood. Now i remember one performance which stood out from the rest and garnered the most applause. It was when the teachers dressed up in school uniform rocking out as a band!! From where i stood, which was kinda far from the stage, you wouldn't know they were our teachers. They sang the rock-out version of the School Song!! After that rendition, They even mashed up songs like Sweet Child Of Mine(One of my top favs), You belong With Me and a bunch of songs i couldn't remember & finishing with I'm Yours by Jason Mraz. Cool idea man..

Went to chat with a couple of the teachers, even challenge a few of my friends to call their teachers by their first names.(no one dared, of course) Hahaz.. For a while we got kinda bored so we left the school. The whole split into three : Some went home, some went to Tampines to slack, the others left without saying goodbye(hmmm..). i went with the group that went to Tampines.

Turned out me & my friend, who is a Tamil, weren't Muslims & the rest are. So we fast with them until 7.12pm. Confession time!! I didn't actually fast because i ate before i went with them so me fasting doesn't really count on that day. Anyways, we slacked at the balcony of Tampines Mall. With nothing to do, I got on the 'thing that goes round & round until you puke you brains out' ride. Got on, Friend spun me round & round, got off, my stomach's never been the same ever since. If you haven't rode this ride before, i urge you to try it. Why, you ask. Because when you are in a twisted ride like this & someone's spinning you non-stop, You can feel your grip at the handles slipping away & could be flung out of that death-trap at break-neck speed. I kid you not. On second thoughts, don't try it. Because i might have your death in my conscience if you did.

Decided to eat at Pizza Hut for our dinner. You see, we went in early to beat the queue, but we had to wait like, 45 minutes before we could eat beacuse of the fasting. We also ordered our food early thinking that they would serve our order very late. We were wrong. So we sat there trying as hard as possible not to stare at the food that's placed before us. As you can see in your left, it was pure torture. Ding-ding!! It's finally time to break fast!! Ah!! utter bliss burst into my mind & stomach as i chomp down my pizza & lasagna. Feelings i had after i got on the Devil's Seat was long forgotten.

After feeling our bellies with sinful delicacies, we head to T1 to slack at the balcony & let our tummies settle down. But then my friend called asking me where i was & i almost forgot i made plans to play soccer with them! So i rushed there & found that very shagged apparently from all the running. Not much to say but i pretty much sucked that night. My shooting was straight into the keeper's hands & my passing wasn't that accurate.Really feel like blaming the food but it wasn't. Oh well, next time i will be better. But i assure you that i'm an exceptional soccer player. That night just wasn't my night.

Overall, it was a great day. Met with my classmates, had a chat with a couple of my teachers and had a rare dinner with the gang !! Grateful to have this once-daily moment once again.*Smiles*
