The people in the "msn" "came out" ...

This evening, Danny, whom I knew from "msn", decided to meet, together with Kaven, 19 years old, also from knew from "msn", at Kallang, to exchange some "O" Level English Language notes and worksheets. This is my first time meeting "strangers", knew from "msn". Before meeting, I was curious about how they looked like in real life, although I have seen their photos throught friendster or "webcam".

Upon meeting, I was late by 20 to 30 minutes! In the first expression, Danny looks a little different in real life, from his several photos, but not Kaven. The first few minutes, we were quite "uncomfortable" to each other, as this is our very first meet. But, when the times pass by, we are quite alright to each other.

Kaven said that he was "dying of thirst", so we headed to cafe "TCC". I was extremely shocked by the prices they sold the beverages, as I do not often patronize cafe oftenly. Yes indeed, it was a "eye-opening" moment for me. Upon seating there, Danny and Kaven discussed about the Science tuition which will be conducted privately by Kaven, who gotten an A1 in his "O" Level, couple of years ago. After that, Danny and I exchanged the English notes or worksheets that we prepared long ago, before meeting.

The time was half past six when we entered the arcarde. Kaven went to exchange the tokens and start playing "vigorously". Yes again, I seldom enter this kind of place, because it is terribly noisy and you are able to see all sorts of people in there.

On our way somehow shopping, Danny said that he would be meeting someone at seven. So, Kaven and I took the initiative to take a move first when reaches seven o'clock. Lucky to have Kaven to lead me to the MRT, because I am the sort of person who does not have any sense of direction. Kaven lived at Bedok, therefore, I am able to follow him to the MRT.

Afterall, it was an "eye-opening" kinds of gathering for me, as I do not really go out because I am easy to get LOST! I giggled, then.

I deleted them away painfully ...

近來，我把我昔日最要好朋友的聯絡號碼刪除了。原因是，我認爲我們之間多了一層厚厚的隔膜，少了一份朋友之間的情了。於是，便認着心中的“痛”，一一刪除了他們在我手機裏的“蹤影”，因爲，我知道一旦刪除他們，就再也無法和他們聯絡了。

這些昔日最要好的朋友分別是，陳貞惠和吳文鑫等。陳貞惠是在我小二時，坐在我隔壁的女生。吳文鑫是我在小三時，在禮堂排隊集合，坐在隔壁的男生。那段短短的日子在我心中留了一個深深地烙印。

自畢業后的這幾年，我嘗試很多辦法尋找他們的蹤跡，繼續友情的旅途。光陰似箭，很幸運也很慶幸地在近年尋找到他們。聯絡到陳貞惠時，他還無法記得我是誰，反而是吳文鑫還記得我。好景不長在，事情有了變化，可説是好，也是坏。陳貞惠記得我了，反而我感到吳文鑫在“避開”我。我嘗試撥電給他，在“msn”裏留言或者寫信，都沒有得到任何恢復。

數日後，更恐怖的事情發生了。我已經再也沒有聽到他們任何的消息了。我100%地“預感”到，他們已經把我忘記了。我心想，算了，這難免是遲早的事情，“早痛不如遲痛”。

日有所思，也有所夢。我曾經夢到吳文鑫受傷，坐在輪椅上。我當時哭了，睡醒時，發現枕頭邊濕濕的。

我終于給給我自己一個答案了，我不再會想起他們了。

Back "home"

This afternoon, Hao Wei and I went back to Siglap Secondary School to collect our certificate of our "N" level examination, which commenced last year in 2007, as well as to take my phrase book from Mrs Khiu, to prepare for my "O" level English at the end of this year.

On our way to the second floor, we saw several familiar teachers, which used to teach us when we were secondary four. Those teachers were Mr Simon Lim, Mr Ralph Ong, Miss Ritina Fong Mrs Judy Siew (former Miss Judy Lim) and Mrs Angela Khiu, who headed out when I am going to look for her. Saying a simple "Hi" to them immediately when I saw them, really makes me feel that I am really back "home". Those teachers were suprised to see us here back in school, also brought back lots of memories when taught by them, especially oberserving their facial expression when making lots of noise. That was naughty of us, I think, I giggled.

After gotten back my phrase book, I went straight to the General Office to collect the certificate. In there, we met Madam Sharul and Miss Lim Shu Ping. We chatted a lot, especially regards to our current education. The funny characteristic of Madam Sharul still did not change.

I am glad that I can still step into my "home", after graduated from there. Thanks again, my beloved teachers forever.

Grade my class's behaviour and attitude

Sometime, I do not really know how to grade my class's behaviours, which I found that it is quite ridiculous, out of what I expected.

My class has 2 "gangsters", whereby they pierced their ears, lips or tongue, and dyed their hair "colourful-ly", "blowing" cigarettes, but their behaviour really is not what I expected at first. I thought that they will always make fun of people, teasing people, trying to turn the class upside down, but I was totally wrong. Yes, they do not pay attention to lessons and often report late to school, but they do not really go round and disturb people. Instead, sometimes, they will even tell me "becareful" in a polite manner, when they are moving chairs and tables around. They would also greet me, by saying a simple "hello", or addressing my name. Also, when they are requesting for something from me, they used polite tone in conversation. Their attitude and behaviour really "shocked" me "positively".

But, what really makes me felt "overturned" was my "bunch" of chinese friends! I thought their attitude or behaviours would be quite alright. Sad to say, they actually "do not see well" for people who take Food and Nutrition! How i wish, I could give them each a tight slap for this comment! What's more, they even used that as a slogan when we did our work on advertisement! It's totally ridiculous, arent they?

Overall, their behaviour really "shocked" me deeply. Hope that the bad ones will change and the good ones will continue to keep it up.

I skipped lesson?

This afternoon, I went home without attending the 2 hours Physical Education lesson. Several hours before the lesson starts, my mind was extremely "struggling" about whether to attend or not, due to the only two reasons.

The first reason was, I had somehow a phobia against ball as I had been hit by a soccer ball, if I am not wrong, directly to the face. Nobody knew this as it was kept in the deepest of my mind and nobody seemed to understand how I felt against this matter. Even if I tell someone, he or she may forget it. Therefore, I would not dare to tell anymore, be it my current PE teacher or my classmates, because I am fear of being laughed or teased. Under such circumstance, I felt terrible or rather miserable in my mind when PE lesson starts.

Second reason was, I do not have my best friend to "lie" on when I meet any difficulties during PE lesson. I could remember, whenever I have any negative comments against the things done by PE teacher, I would pour them to my best friend. Now, he is at the another class, I could only pour them to myself during the PE lesson.

Therefore, I do not really meant to skip any lesson, or pretending to be sick. Do understand me, please, be it my teachers or my classmates.

来自台湾“他”

近来，认识了一名来自台湾的朋友，名字叫“他（不像透露名字的他）”。与他认识了一段日子后，也渐渐注意他的喜欢和不喜欢的东西，腼腆中带着害羞的个性。其中一点不能不提到，就是他真的很喜欢自拍，一拍就可以拍上百张，每张都摆着不同的姿势，有当男模的潜质。他喜欢自拍的程度已经无法用“超爱”来形容了！至今为止，真的还没碰到对“自拍”有浓厚兴趣的人，真是令人大开眼界。

“他”这次来新加坡就是为了在本地考取O水准文凭，然后再到理工学院进修。他不仅喜欢自拍，也和我都有一些共同点，例如：喜欢吃“烧买”和巧克力、同年龄等等。一个钱币两个面，他当然也如同青少年一样，不喜欢念书。他还告诉我，他喜欢“泡”夜店（指的是，karaoke的地方），因为他十分喜欢唱歌，但由于本地有年龄的限制，他还无法踏入夜店。

今日，刚从台湾返回，便在第一时间给我拨了电话，和我聊天。在和他谈话时，发现他语气惊人，用词大胆。不仅如此，我还从他那里学到台湾当地如何使用某些词句，例如：“帅呆了”（其实，是指“一级棒”、“wonderful”的意思）。我也自然而然免费上了一堂“文化交流”的课。

“他”是我第二位来自台湾的朋友。还记得，首次和他谈话时，他说我的说话语气很像服务人员，令我顿时哭笑不得。

两地的交流可能在日后插出火花，谁也说不定。

情人节快乐

情侣像钥匙和枷锁，不能没有对方。如果找到属于自己的钥匙，要好好珍惜，因为那是唯一能打开自己心扉之锁。

情人节快乐

干弟弟

昨日的除夕夜，在凌晨12.00后的几分钟，手机简讯的铃声就频频响了。拿起一看，发现是好友传给我的贺年简讯，倍感温馨。其中，竟发现一则简讯的发信人是tan jonathan。他令我印象深刻的就是他的独树一帜的作风、豪放的性格、大胆地表露出自己的情绪。近来，无论给他传多少则简讯，都没有任何回复。我很担心，担心他更换了手机号码。昨日，又再次看到他的“踪影”了，十分开心。

数分钟后，我传了则简讯问他：“睡着了吗？”接着，他传来说道：“呵呵！怎么了，你想念你的弟弟吗？”我回复他的简讯说道：“不可以想念他吗？很久都没有看到他，当然想念啦！”之后，他回复说道：“我没说不可以。我也想念我的哥哥咯。”然后，为了证实简讯中的“哥哥”是否是我，我传了则简讯试探他。随后，他回复我的简讯说道：“当然是你啦！我的干哥哥！”

我很开心，因为不知不觉我有第一个真正的干弟弟。以后，我会好好爱护他，在他背后毫无怨言地帮他一切。

谢谢你，干弟弟！

如愿以偿了

今天，在friendster的“bulletin栏”里出现了一些标题，吸引了我的注意。标题写着“Ex-XPS Students Gathering （Graduated in year 2003！）”。如愿以偿的心情促使我打开bulletin，阅读里头的内容。赫然发现，他们正准备召集曾经毕业自2003年的学生再次回到小学，与多日不见的老师们和同学们叙叙旧。

我一时不敢相信眼前的“好事”，因为这是我日盼夜盼的聚会。下列就写着希望参与聚会的名字。我发现，写这名字的都是在学校较“出名”的同学，反而是那些“性格保守”的同学没“榜上提名”，例如：何德利（Dennis Ho）、林杏慧（Megan Lim）、陈玉婷（Florence Tan）、吴文鑫（Goh Boon Hing）、程文凯（Tian Wen Kai）、冯丽风（Pang Li Feng）。虽然接下来写道：“I’m sorry if your name is not on the list，perhaps the careless me just forgot to add in your name！Don’t worry，everybody is invited as long as we belong to the same batch！:]。”

我认为，不应该把一部分名字写道在里头，要嘛，就全部都不写道，不然就全部写道。只写道一部分的名字，会令没“榜上提名”的同学感到“心寒”，甚至会“不好意思”、“没有脸”出席这样的聚会。

无论如何，听到这个消息令我已经感到十分欣慰。虽然已经“预知”自己是不可能出席的，我会私底下为他们祝福的！

笑一笑！早安咯！

美丽的早晨笑一笑 全天生活有情调

上课之余笑一笑 满堂欢乐又热闹

烦恼之时笑一笑 一切烦恼全忘掉
