Well, my purpose to go back to school wasn't for the sake of roaming at the corridors from one classroom to another but actually went back to collect my university slip. Trust me, no matter how tough and hectic the lessons were or maybe how unreasonable the teachers once were, it doesn't really matter after all as school is always a place where corrections can be made and not in the real world out there. The very first step I made into the hallway, it gives me a very strong sense of belonging. The teachers that still remember you and on top of everything, they are kind enough to greet the students before the students even saw them and that's the typical bubbly Pn. Shirley! She was still dressing up like the days before and asked me why did I hang around here and what am I doing, bla bla bla.. where am I working then she rushed off to her lessons and ended the short talk with "alright, see you!" Well, you'll never experience this in CPT as the teachers see the ex-students as if they are rotten brats and never to expect them to make your day-really.. Well, maybe there's special treatment to PIBG's daugthers and some top scorers :) The reachable ones are mostly Pn. Faridah, Pn. Jessie, Ms. Yeoh and Pn. Ooi Chun Yoke and thats all to me but then no special effect too-normal hi-bye :)
Then I was looking for Ms. Pillay but then she was no where to be seen then I saw an orange shirt guy hastily walking pass me and it's none other than the insipid, Mr. Ian Howell. I was like,
Choya: "Mr. Ian, do you know where's Ms. Pillay??"
Mr. Ian: "Err, you don't talk to me now because I am very very very busy" (you should have seen his gesture-typical Ian syndrome) :P "Why not you ask Mr. James, he's sitting down there."
Choya: Oh okay, go go go..(as I'm going to ask Mr. James, I suddenly realise Mr. Ian was behind me and interrupted Mr. James conversation with somebody)
Mr. Ian: Hey James, did you see Ms. Pillay, any idea where she is? A student is looking for her.
Well, you get what I mean? Despite he was so busy he actually helped out the students first and on top of everything, just an ordinary ex-student. Before I had the chance to thank him, he was no where to be seen already. Aih~ And then I was rushing to work so I made up my mind to come back another day. I miss school~
Then the next day, after going to the KWSP office where the noobshit typed my email address wrongly, tungshing_88@yahoo.com, HAHHAH!!!! Then I was so lazy to go back there so I created one email add as that address. Hahaha! Sorry Ah Kam :) I dropped by in school again and I was never as happy in my life-to get to see Ms. Pillay! Hahahaha!!!! Time is actually running out short and my university slip is still lying down waiting for me. As I waited for her to finish her counselling session with some boys, I took that chance to recall back those times I had in school and the memories were playing clearer, clearer and clearer in my mind as if I was living in those times again.
I started to recall back the very first few weeks after I started F6, Yuyu, Jay Lin and I would frequent the Ladies Garden and gossip there. Soon after that, we proceeded to the canteen and then workroom :) Then came the memories of Inauguration Night, we practiced real hard, skipping all lessons and spent endless hours in the very last classroom nearest to the Basketball Court learning fan dance. Fell sick when the night arrived but still do it with no sweat :) Came the times in OSLT where distributing sweets are like smuggling drugs. One of the ultimate times was actually speeding all the way to school just to arrive at the school gate one second before the wardens locked the gate and then vroom in with bare feet-I wear shoes after I arrive. Hahaha!
Workroom is like a psychopatic ward where you'd see various librarians doing various noobshitz inside there such as: screaming, shouting, singing, sleeping, eating, chit-chatting, swearing, gossipping and hell lots more :)
After I got the slip and a short chat with Ms. Pillay, I eventually excused myself as I had to rush for work. After 20 steps, I realised I left my visitor pass inside her room so I went back in and collected it. Then I thought to myself, should I go and find Sir? But it was getting late, so it's ok.. maybe next time around. Just when I thought about that, Sir suddenly appeared before me-he was looking down at the floor (thinking ways to chin with librarians) Hahahaha! Then I called him up and talking to him makes me feel like... I'm really missing the days when I was a librarian, and every mistakes that we made, Sir will always patiently guide us through the way but not really the case now in work. Everything is on your own.
Well, what should I say furthermore? I bet all of you must have missed school too. Then there was a song that some time ago, I dreaded to sing but now it's playing in my mind like it's ever so soothing and reassuring...... Well, I don't want to sing out the whole stanza but the last verse is already an impact....
God bless St. Xaviers, my homme........swweeeet........ hommeeeee.........
