Teacher's day celebrations
A day of great performances which lots of us enjoyed, lame games that we ran away from and a particularly weird rendition of songs which the respecting lot sat through and shuddered in time with each other... in one word : fun.
Now for a post-mortem. The dances instantly made me stop regreting not sitting with the class. Had a *much* better view up in front. All the performances would have made getting up early and coming to school almost worth it, if not for the rope game. Glad i escaped from that. And "OMG!!!!" who would've thought that mr Seet and mr Yong were going to cross dress!!! Nearly scared me shitless when the Isetan paper bag was removed and mr Seet sorta grinned. Yahh!! And the balloons used as fake boobs. I think i'm gonna have nightmares.
Skipping the soulful rendition of Inside Your Heaven and Wind Beneath My(or was it yours?) Wings, the mechanical warbling of Smoke on the Water, we come to the seemingly nonsensical play involving some LOTR, X-men and Vj teachers mashed-up into a lip-syncing parody. Wasn't much of a storyline, though the Pink Pansy's prancings did up the appeal cred.
Rushed back to VS only to find that most (almost all, except maybe like 8) of the teachers have left for the combined buffet lunch at Vj. Had to return, and in the rain too. Meeting your ex-teachers is always the same. Say "Merry Christmas!" (-___-''', i know...) and try to get them to change their mind so resolutely set on not treating us to lunch.
None of the teachers complied, although i have a feeling they would if we had asked a group of them instead, so had to settle lunch ourselves (4D '05). Funny how things always turn out wrong. Terence gave us a choice of KFC, Burger King, Foodcourt or Pastamania. And we ended up in Yoshinoya. After which all of us set out for pool. Extremely depressing bout of games. The only time i won was when Zz took 8 in the wrong pocket.
Rested for a while in Mac's after that. Forced Terence to use 760 of his 1135 points to treat us (only fair, he got the all rounded student award, which makes me wonder... he isn't that round..) to nuggets. And that bunch of imbeciles took advantage of the fact that i was buying a drink to leave me with only 2 nuggets while each of the rest had 3. @#*! Saturday is just around the corner, just you temes wait. I'll (quoting Johnathan) pinch your 'na's till you cry.
Played a bit of truth or dare. A perfectly innocent game which involved Terence shouting "AAHH!! WHERE'S MY COCK???" in the male washroom. Courtesy of yours truly. I could be such a devil at times. You're lucky we had to leave, Terence, your next dare would have been having you to pretend to fellate using 10 straws. Not for the young eyes there at Mac's...
I didn't go back to my primary school, never did. I remember, the final years there. I was sitting next to her. Someone i always had to bicker with. Someone i always had to prove i was better than. Someone who always won in the languages no matter what. A very cute someone. Someone whom parting with defied all truth to the saying "parting is such sweet sorrow". There wasn't anything sweet;it was bitter, terribly bitter. Though it was partially numbed by my lack of age, it still did hurt. I remember not performing that well in the first year of VS, most noticeably in mother tongue ( F9, E8, F9,F9). I guess i'd gotten over it, but i still avoid that school lest i'm distracted again. Cannot afford to be distracted, Promos hurtling towards Earth at like the Speed of light.
Brinjal... Soya bean... Maybe they'll all come back someday, the lost times spent just secretly gazing at you.
