25-28 Jan cruise trip. Me, Ph aka ahboy and Ting aka ahgirl.

this time, we didnt go disembark when the ship was at penang. due to the festive mood, most of the shop and store wouldn't be open. esp my fav penang laksa and chendol. and on the same day, me and ph got into the the casino!! wahaha. we walked behind our parents and we got into the vip section which has a bar. went in and saw people playing money. soon after, i got a glass of red wine and ph got a orange juice, then we left to accompany the long forgotten ahgirl. she pathetically sat outside at the staircase there.

following, 3 of us went KTV with pop, jess obasan, jess obasan's okasan and Mr Hwa. that night after dinner, 3 of us sing and drink like never before. ah girl was the top drinker, few glasses of beer and red wine. ah boy was most reserved, little sip little sip, careful not to get drunk. then i realize i couldn't sing well. BUT, all was fun. WAHAHA. after that, we went a little ..!@#$%^

went to the dental centre on Monday. had an appointment with the dentist to put on braces. did plenty of x-rays. i feared for that day to come, because i thought i had to remove some teeth to make space for the braces. who knows that things got a little more serious. the x-rays revealed that i have a hidden teeth under my left jaw. so, it becomes necessary to have a surgery to remove it. this would be achieved by slicing my gum and lift what's above it and pluck that hidden tooth out. and at the same time, remove my potential wisdom teeth.. =.= die

im afraid ....

Tuesday, watched anime in the noon and went out with a stupid girl to walk her dogs. in the lonely park. (baby would understand this) after that god damn walk, went out to buy some material.

planned to go Ubin with gw on Wednesday.. and he doesnt know how to ride a bike!!! but he said he might be able to make it on a dual bike =.=. basket. imagine 2 guys cycling that tmm bike. do it with pretty girl still nvm. but with a guy!? ah la. tmr go Ubin liao den go see ah gua. eat dinner.

no surgery for wormie,
shermie.

hearing how first day of school was for others' makes me think of my school. my primary school. there were 3 teachers during my primary school that i respected the most.

remembering when i was 7 years i laid in my bed that night on the 13th floor at block 232. my mum's footsteps getting louder and she came next to the frame of my bed and scolded me for not being well prepared for my 1st day of primary 1 life. she made me feared that primary 1 would be hell of an exam. so that night, i cried in my pillow and i made my bolster witness my determination to memorize the whole english dictionary.

2 and a half years later

9 years old at that time. seated next to the locker outside of 3E classroom. Miss Gabriel Teo. an Eurasian teacher that i hated most. Ms Teo teaches music and english in my class. that day she was taking my class for music lesson. we carried our music folio with our music textbook and recorder in it. before we made our way to the music room, she warned us not to make a sound from the recorder. so the cheeky me place the blow hole of the instrument at the front of my lip with a gap in between and blew it. Ms Teo heard it and stomped her way through and stood in front of me. I explained that i was trying to clear the recorder from dust but she didnt buy it. with fire in her breath, she took over my recorder and spanked my thigh. it left a red swollen.

after that, my parents, my mum esp, made a big issue out of it and i transfered to Rivervale Primary. i believed that Ms Teo didnt have a good time back then too. 3-4 years ltr, i saw this familiar figure at Peninsula's BATA store. to my horror + shock, it was Ms Gabriel Teo.

continueing after being transferred to RVPS.

i was assigned to 3B under the wings of Mr Phua Tee Tee. he had a head of white hair and his brows too were silver. he was healthy and very active then. he motivates the class with little stories once in a while. i still remember that black bean story he told the class and once he drew a picture of a bottle with an arrow pointing out with the word spirit written on the white board. no other ppl could make me more attentive in class than those fancy tricks he pull. he is my 1st most respected teacher.

10 years old Sherman was promoted to 4E, form teacher : Ms Veronica Tan. one day (i forgot what i did), she pulled me out and made me stand in front of the class and she reprimanded me. i forgotten what i had done that made her so mad but i was sure it wasnt some ungodly sin. i clearly remember that she said it in front of the whole class "You are a troublemaker!" i stood in front of the whole class and my tears started rolling down.

primary 5 and 6 came my goddess of my primary school life. Mrs Agnes Wong. she had all the patience in the world to teach the pupils and she never blow her top off for any of her own temper. my 2nd respected teacher. during that time, the sch understood the mother tongue standard of our batch and made plans to improve our MT asap so that we would be prepared for PSLE. so they had class distribution for MT class by our grade. and i met Liu Lao Shi. it's a shame that i dont know how to call her in english. she spike every part of me to do harder for MT and from a border line MT student, i got an B for my MT. that means it was around 65-74.

Mr Phua, Mrs Wong and Liu Lao Shi. spotlights of my primary sch life. of course, there are other things that i hadn't been able to mention.


haha primary school love life.
of course i rmb every moment of it.
we lean our backs on the wall, looking at the drizzling sky. i asked if she would be my first love, she was shy, i was too. she accepted and i took her hands. my heart nearly flutter out of my chest. imagine the fat and fair sherman, holding another girl's hand.

i didnt change much for this part. my heart pounds very hard everytime i try to hold their hand. Even for the last time i hold this girl's hand, it felt like its bouncing.

reminiscing would be easier,
Sherman

for the past few years of today, i should be sleeping and having to attend school in the morning. but this year, it's a little different. stayed overnight last last night and returned ytd morning. slept all the way to the evening and watched The Illusionist.

the movie isn't as great as The Prestige. but the plot moved me a little. the lead actor (actor of the hulk) brought his beloved to her paradise she wished for. throughout the movie, i understood the story otherwise, until the very end came an unexpected twist. although it is another sort-of happy ending story, i like it still. cos the way it went happy-ending was ingenious.

haha, the word INGENIOUS reminds me of the first time i met Dorothy. (not the tagged one)
if i hadn't remember wrongly, this was what happened.


last year, i mean last last last year (2006) during september exam break, we had to prepare for the end of year examination for secondary 2. so this girl HuiShan that i knew ask me to go revise together. knowing that she is the top student in school i didnt decline and met her at hougang mall's Gelare Cafe.

when i arrived, i saw her with this skinny girl, Dorothy, with spectacles wearing a light blue sleeveless top with long pants. before starting with serious work, they told me that Dorothy dropped her bunch of keys into the trash can accidentally when she was disposing something. i went wtf?. in the end, we retrieved the keys and did some serious work. after that we went to NTUC to look for some snacks for a birthday party. then one of us, i forgot who, said "this packaging is ingenious." after that i said " huh? how come this thing stupid?" and they all laughed. i laugh as well after i understood the meaning of the word.

me and dorothy did get together for awhile after the next 2 weeks on the 1st of October. which was some where near the end of year examination. her result's had always been better then mine by a lot. some where along that period of time, a group of my friends we joined the a competition and we emerged as the top group and were to go KL as some representative sort of stuff. had a lot of fun while at KL. got to know a group of people. esp Carmen, SY and Afik.

when the free time for shopping at KL started, me and benjamin went hunting for gift for our girlfriend. ben's gf is one big headache. not to mention mine, especially dorothy's birthday was round the corner.

her birthday was near the start of December. so i got her a heart-shaped pendant and my oven gave her a choco cake. she was so happy that night. seeing that made me happy too.

soon after that was my birthday. that night we blew our top over some trivial matter and i didnt party out that day. our mediator, her best friend, told me that she folded hundred paper cranes with words written in it but she threw it away or hid it. we eventually broke up on christmas night.

since then we didnt talk to each other. though i tried to apologize to her for a few times but didnt really forgive me. petty woman.

then i did something i feel real stupid in 2008. my graduation/prom night. because it's her birthday again soon, i got her a gift. a necklace with hearts of red and crystal.



alright, that's all memory. there are other things i seek and purpose i commit to in 2009.

on an island, a cottage on the coast,
Sherman
