Was on Facebook just now... Miss Susan Ong (or Mrs Goh) finally accepted me as a friend! =) So I looked at her photos, and I saw Miss Ling (music teacher) and Miss Ong Theng Choo (my sec 1 and 2 form teacher). So nostalgic! Then I scanned through her list of friends, and saw more familiar names: Miss Chia Ai Ling, Miss Jessica Goh, Mr Tan Chuan Long, Miss Jasmine Lee, Mrs Ang Geok Hoon (CLDDS teacher), Miss Tan Huizhen (!).... It's quite touching to see that they added each other as friends... Wah really very 怀念... I miss secondary school days so much. 看到老师们很多位都变了好多。。。陈泉隆老师结婚了(heard he was married to the girl guide teacher..finally saw her face)，而且有小孩了！真的替他感到开心。记得以前华文课的时候，他老是说他的弟弟怎么催他结婚。。。there's some story about toothpaste that I can't really remember. And saw photos of Mrs Ang in York with her family. Then saw Miss Jessica Goh's profile picture with a kid beside her I assume that's her kid. *surprised* When I was still in RV， I really didn't think she looked like she was about to settle down. Oh well... 数一数我离开立化已经 2010-2004= *gasp* 六年了! OMG! It's been so long?! But I still feel deeply for the school, even though the old building no longer stands. The Pandan reservoir where we did the horrible 2.4km runs...I can see the reservoir from my 1B classroom and I remember we used to smell whiffs of chocolate... The many bus-stops... When I was in sec1 I took bus 176. Then after I moved house I took 51 and sometimes... is it 331? Can't remember. Anyway they cancelled the line by the time I was in Sec 3, then there was 143. And sometimes Ming Shu and I would walk to the bus-stop opposite the church to take 78/79. The canteen... Sadly non of the vendors will move to the new campus at Boon Lay. I get to eat cai fan on a good day. Charsiew rice from stall 5 ( I still remember the plate is red) if time is short. It was an eating competition that I always lose. But then again how can I possibly beat Ming Shu? Mostly we ate ham-and-cheese from stall 10, standing around the newspaper/public phone area.

The bookshop... the photocopy shop... the hall, the first place I went to on my first day of school, where I got struck by fate. Mass dance... I remembered my white pinafore got dirty that day... the second-floor linkway... Ming Shu and I copying Chemistry TYS solutions outside the General Office... The staff room with namelists of every class (i don't know where i placed my collection)...with a microphone outside to page for teachers... I'd paged for Miss Guo Lanhua so many times when I was Chinese rep... how the guys go “交剪报。。。”...lol...collecting paper from the recycle bin (>.<)... painting the 2B classroom... learning the “看我７２变” dance from Xueyi... Walking past the Maths board everyday... E. Lit Dramatisation... Going to 3D, and becoming antisocial... Why did I waste those 2 years during the most precious part of my life? Sigh... if only I could go back. Memorising chemistry during recess... I remembered we were outside the home econs room..but i can't rmb which chapter... Memorising C. Lit as we paced outside the auditorium... Hating community singing at that time..."It's my life"eww... and found myself liking those songs now. Why couldn't I have enjoyed it then? Liking the song "One in a Million"... Doing gardening duties... That horrible gym with that horrible Hawk... I still hate him, that's the only thing that hasn't changed one bit. Hah.

The Chinese Lab with the tiny storeroom for CLDDS... Watching “地久天长”　there and crying (in school!)...but Yue Jia was crying too... Listening to Jiang Li talk about C. Lit... Going off to the AVA room for Chinese lessons... Chemistry remedial lessons with 4A... Then Mrs Goh leaving and Miss Ivy Cheong taking over. Me breaking the delivery tube and yet she didn't scold me and even asked if I was hurt. Mr Chow Ban Hoe... I was soooo scared of him in the beginning. But I began doing well in his class and he didn't seem that scary after all... Mr Bryant Chew who sweats a lot... Mr Chiam Tat Wee... I heard Miss Esther Lee left already... Mdm Soh Kah Lay... Mr Chew Hwee Meng... Mdm Louise Mak... Miss Huang Qiuying (memorising 唐诗s during文史 lessons)... I wonder how many of these teachers are still in RV. I wonder why teachers in Singapore always leave. I wonder why schools in Singapore always get torn down/shifted. I wonder why in Taiwan they can return after 20 years and still find their former teacher when mine quit the year I graduated. Does Singapore have no history, or is its history constantly being rewritten? I wonder why we have no sense of belonging. Why, oh why?

I'm getting too emo... Can't believe I wrote such a LONG entry... Facebook always makes me emo... I should be doing my lab report!

Miss Susan Ong and Miss Ong Theng Choo are teaching in ACS International now...

Darn, if anyone reading this is thinking of visiting RV, drag me along, k?
