Growing Old; Letting Go

When I think about school now, I get this bittersweet kind of feeling. It's not yet too long a time for me to be feeling nostalgic and missing for the days with my friends-that-are-awesomer-than-yours-teehee but I don't know.

I keep wondering about what's happening in school, how's this junior, how's that teacher, how's this club doing, so forth. It sounds like what most school-leavers would think about but I somehow feel like mine are more...self-centered. I feel like it's just because I want to know, because I used to be able to know about it so fast and it made me feel...secured. Like at least I knew something. I don't really much care for gossip about other people, especially people I don't know, but when it was about my surroundings and especially my school environment with all my involvement in it...it was a nice feeling to know about it.

With no school starting here, in this entirely new environment until a week more, I feel like I'm wasting away, literally not doing much of anything. I don't know what to do with myself. It's like an in-between and I can't go anywhere yet.

I want to be back home, visiting school, helping out, chillin' about...in the staff room....and not in class...shh.

At least it felt like I was doing something productive.

I don't know whether it could be said I'm just longing for my past so-called "Glory Days" back in school, but--

I don't know if I'd be able to accomplish as much as I did back home. Which wasn't much to start with. Especially academically HAHAHHA.

--but I guess, in a way, I do.

This blog has become an emo blog. Yay me!

That aside, random picture of my favourite classy/pro/neutral nails to wear as to date!

More yays!

just looking at this makes me hungry
3A1's NASI LEMAK. Looks great, tastes even greater.

26th March 2009.
we had our class photo taken.
being in an all-girls school, this is what happens.
all typical girls rush up and find the nearest reflective surface, here it'll be our sliding glass doors, and proceed to retie, smooth down, arrange and generally fuss over their hair. They'll even practice their smiles.

I kid you not.

see what i mean? (:

30th March 2009.

she was giving out chocolates to all who got A in Maths, but she looks super scary here xD


then, later during recess pre-sale, we were selling pasta and coconut jelly.

JESSIE: Let's sing the coconut song. You know, the C-O-C-O-N-U-T...
ELEENA: Okay! WE SING.

WATCH IT.

ELEENA: YOU BUY ONE, WE SING FOR YOU!
SHARON: FOR FREE! We sing for you for FREE!!

we had 3 left, so yes, they were getting desperate.

i was discussing something with Clarbear.

and then i got robbed.
._____.

yes, i know. it scared me too. ):

oh, clarbear, you are so evil looking.

she tried being a burglar with the mask and everything.
it just looks as if she's taking something radioactive and stinky from my pocket.
/WALL.

EVELYN: sneakily extracting purse
CHRISTINE (turns around): What are you doing?
EVELYN: Turn back, turn back!! Take photo la you! (something like that)
CHRISTINE: ...fine, I do not notice anything! No, not at all! turns back
EVELYN: sneakily extracts purse
EVERYONE ELSE: /WALL.

...i always get bullied ):

i had to pretend to sleep to take this photo.

...three times. in three different positions.

i thought she was doing it to my ponytail until i felt the cold metal against my ear and amy saying, "Don't worry! I won't cut!"
/wall.

ohnoes! my hair!!
amy you are very the cruel.

we are *very* good at this game.
i could be in one of those wrestling matches where they only pretend to punch one another!!

oh the horror!

AMY: Christine... I feel short today.
CHRISTINE: !!! WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO AMY.
AMY (thoughtfully): Because if I'm short, what does that make you?
CHRISTINE: !!!!!! Nothing has changed.

playing Catch with our money box. They must have been quite bored.
Becky, too, for video-ing them xD

but they so cute la. hahas.

CHRISTINE: Hey Eli! Can I take out my fan?
ELIZABETH: No.
CHRISTINE: But it's right here in my secret pocket!
ELIZABETH: No.
CHRISTINE: Can I take it out when we're in the field?
ELIZABETH: No.
CHRISTINE: During the speeches?
ELIZABETH: No.

ELIZABETH: Yes.
KHER CHING: Ooh, I'm fainting, I'm fainting!! (fan me!)

Later, Juju, Lili, Nana and I went to Fort Margherita with me mum for our sejarah kerja kursus.
We sakai sit in sampan.
But it was such an anticlimax when he tugged on a string and a MOTOR CAME TO LIFE.
all of us went
/WALL.

cos she actually wanted to call her sister to say "I'M ON A SAMPAN"

we climbed right to the top through that trapdoor thing.
each step was, "whoa, whoawhoawhoa, WHOAA. slight heart attack."

super steep to trapdoor.
juju so cute.

if only the construction sites were finished, it'll have been a gorgeous shot.

then we came back and was getting in my mum's car when we saw THEM across the street.
I ran to the bars and screamed,

"SMILE FOR ME!"

no wonder my sore throat got worse.
