My Ecole Days
FYI: Ecole is French for school :D
Last Friday as i was dozing off from attempting to do assignment, Mum called. The first thing she said was, "Where are you?" - which is a phrase gaining popularity with my parents these days as everybody is losing track of where everyone has gone to. Like yesterday night i came back for about an hour already, bathed and all ready to jump into the bed, i pop my head downstairs to tell my Dad good night and he jumped off the couch like zhong kwai (saw ghost) like that. Then started to interrogate me - the usual routine ler... wat else. Then today went out for lunch-cum-meeting and came back that time Dad was sleeping on the couch (again) to the TV so i walked straight up to my room and didn't come out until 6 like that. This time the reaction wasn't so big though... he's like since when you came home? ... when you were piggy sleeping, dad... hahaha he laughed though so it's a good sign :P I'm just waiting for the day when either one of my parents call my hp and ask where am i when i'm actually upstairs in my room only ..lol!
ANYWAY (how did i digress so far)... Mum called to say that my younger sister has stomach ache so she wants to come home. As the dedicated pekerja am, i went and pick her up loh.
There i was... standing at the doorway just taking it all in - the school compound surrounded by the classrooms building, students lining up 2 by 2 (afternoon session form 1 & 2 maa) walking along the corridor to their science lab or art room or whichever.
DARN. i miss school +_+
I remembered feeling like it was an entire life away when it's just 2-3 years back only? Does that mean we (or I at least) are selfish lil creatures so eager and quick to put things behind the moment we are done with it? Or is it because we are so busy with the bRiGht fuTurE, the most essential journey of tertiary studies that could possibly determine the course of our remaining life? But then again, how many times you or i have say these 3 magical words - i miss school (no doubt about saying the other 3 magical words though :P).
WHat i also remember is how at every end-year holiday, i'll have this phase where i get depressed about things... moving on to another level... like getting more difficult... from form 1 to form 5 - signifies that i'm moving closer to like... be a grown-up.. and the whole package that comes with being one. darn. Come to think of it.. it's cuz i didn't have much to do at home and with not much freedom to go out either, that i start to be nonsensical haha
Other than that... i think what i enjoy most (and starts to appreciate it now) is the school life itself. the routine. the friends. the dreading for exams. the horror of teachers!! the ever-so-frequent SHIT... i'm LATE. actually the late part i don't miss it ler cuz i'm still late for classes up until today +_+ OH oh another thing.. i used to be in the school's Koperasi body, so we the store managers would hide in there whenever we're bored and makan or just chitchat - yup koperasi in my school then sold lotsa junks and snack-able food. not to mention chocolate O.O it was one of the best thing to be apart of ler in my opinion.. got side benefit PLUS we can hide illegal stuff there cuz prefects don't do spot checks there hahaha AND we got paid too cuz the business was extremely profitable (ya.. then we go and spend our gaji there itself cuz it's the only place with edible food.. talk about vicious cycle. ngeh)
During my last year there though i had to give myself a 'token of memoirs'. It's a scar on my right knees. How did i get it? my legs got tangled and i t.r.i.p.p.e.d. on the tar road. while i was crossing the road to my school. and there wasn't anybody at sight nor any car around. uh huh.... i just crossed the road.. already reach the other side then suddenly i just.. fell down. +___+ beats me. mum was having a blast laughing and keep shaking her head. miaaaaa... so i spent the whole of that day in the St John's room to become the experimental object. finally able to test their skills for real after all the trainings and exams. In the end all the so-called nurses there were so grossed out by the physical appearance of my knees.. nobody was able to properly clean it for the fear that they'll rip my flesh out or something. so how? i took the blardy cotton and wipe the tiny stones out meself... aihh... amateurs :P
So there... the most significantly embarrassing event that i still remember from high school haha
