I will not be posting sadly today. I am going to for once, throw all my emotions to the side and bask in the cheer of today! children's day. Our last one, the most enjoyable one too. It seems to be yesterday when I had been 6, celebrating this day 5 years ago as a pri 1 kid. 5 years juts flew past so fast. If I don remember wrongly, I think I received a blue hankerchief for my first ever children's day present. I never really used it, but I think its stuck somewhere in that wardrobe.
Everyone's changed, I've changed too. through all the chanes, we are still partially the same old selves. Today, I walked to school feeling kinda weird. I never thought of children's day that special, yet as I approach the time where we will never celebrate it again, I start to understand how significant it is. absense makes the heart grow fonder. melodramatic, but usually clishes describe simple feelings best. I now realise, that this time's children's day is not any better than previous ones. It is actually us that have changed. It is us that now value it more and look at it in a different light. That is why today seems much more fun than others.
Next year, all we will have is youth day. I guess I will miss screaming my heart out, eating like siao. But maybe there will be other things to replace those. From cls, we got this translucent file. There were only a few black ones and the rest were real childish or girly. Like pink or hellokitty. But the girls were quite nice la, let the guys have the black ones. Only Rachel wang hogged on ot her black ones. I ended up with this winnie the pooh thing, which I thought was the next best compared to the black ones.
cls actually wore a skirt. Not exceptionally charming or wdv but at least she kept her promise. YAY. But she changed out into shirt and track pants after recess. sigh. The first second I saw her in skirt, I told myself, "She actually looks fine, like average la" I have seen worse ones. But when everyone started laughing, I juts cheered and laughed along. Malued her completely la. But yeh, we are still children for one last day, aren't we? childishness can and MUST be tolerated, at least till 12.01 of 1st October! ((((:
Actually, it is really the thought that counts. The lolipop she gave us we all ate it on the spot. I am going to die of diabetes. Too much sugar. I got a light orange candle from Mrs O, with my name on it too. It seemed the most dull and plain present, but the fact that our names were on it juts shows how tie1 xin1 she is. She is really nice. Yepps ((((:
I suppose ms mok spent the most money on us this time. She gave us mamee noodles and pizza. Though it was only one slice per person, it was quite nice! YAY! From mrs boey-lim we got this really nice friendship band. Mine was blue and purplish-pink. It actually looks dull to alot of people, but I think it suits my character. I would never choose anythign overly-coulourful, overly-cute, or overly-grey. My band is in the middle.
Mr Pang gave us some badge and lolipop. lolipop AGAIN. ): Okay. I shouldn't grumble. Must treasure what we have. At least the teachers gave us some stuff. Mr Pang actually sang a song. OMG. but honestly it was rather horrible. but anyway, at least he sang! He sort of sounded like YJ.
The concert was not bad la. The order of performances was sort of according to age. The "younger performances" were quite nice. They danced some song and sang quite nice. But the older ones were abit worse. But still. Thanks teachers, you may not be young at heart but heck! Love today. But I had to lug back home 7 files and a whole stack of papers. I will still have another locker ot clear on Tuesday. Must clear out lockers by then. I will die carrying my stack of newspapers back.
Took this disgusting picture with Laura. I am NOT photogenic. sigh. Jean dear, delete it. I never want anyone to see it ever again. cos I was looking downwards when the picture was taken, so I ended up looking really ugly. ): On the day which we take our results, must all take a photo together. Preferbly thw whole gep family plus all the teachers. So many memories with them, I am afraid I will want to cling on to them even as I grow older. That picture will be sooo valuable, it will hold an entire 3 years. I mean even the dullest guy or girl can be remembered for his/her dullness. Yeah I am convinced these 3 years would not be the same without any single one gep kid or teacher.
YONG YUAN JI DE! 4 more days yeah? Will be over soon! It will fly past in no time at all la. YAY
