quote of the day--
"i have waited until the cows come home and become beef patties."--such is the witty humour of TCHS teachers. i found it in the yearbook.

suddenly i am overcome with this question again. i dunno y i feel like joining council. maybe its because i wan to change the way school used to be for me. loooooooooooooow profile. i tink i wudnt be tinking abt this if not for the campaigning part. i cant make public speeches. i hav stage fright too. yuck. so i wud suck at campaigning. i wudnt dare to go on stage. so i wud b wasting time and making a fool of myself. ok. i shall not join council.

was flipping through the yearbook. it brought back many memories. it feels as if the first time i attended flag-raising at TCHS with its terraces was just a few months back. time really passes very fast. (i dont say time flies because it doesnt. only pigs do.) the wonderful teachers i've met, the friends i've made in class, in library, in OBS. and the many events held...

when i flipped to my class page and saw a pic of dj doing homework and the caption 'better pia geog, later kena mdm chan...' i smiled. i just remembered. how we wud always go to school early and put down our bags to start doing (or copying) homework. we would ask around frm the more hardworking people (hey! me! serious. rmb i provided the SS answers sometimes. hahas.) for their completed hw so that we can copy. then those who finished would walk around and talk crap and those busy copying would shout and tell them to go away. or something. then something funny would happen and we would all laugh. sometimes we would sit on tables and have clique gatherings to revise in the morning for tests etc too. how memorable...

also, in library. how i miss my cute (not all. but all were disobedient. *rolls eyes*) juniors. mrs lee. the other teachers. the only employed librarian. the library itself. i remember always looking forward to fridays, where everyone from the club would come for duty to shelve and we would all mostly end up playing, talking or something. (thanks to me...) then we would talk rubbish and laugh together. still remember how some of our seniors would fling books to each other right across the second floor of the library where we were shelving because they were lazy to walk over. then in the middle there was this gaping hole where the staircase to the first floor lay. then once a book dropped down from the second floor then we all laughed and went to hide and pretend the book just fell down on its own. then one of e teachers came up and scolded us...told us to treat books with care. hahahahaahhahahahahahaha. and another time we hid one of the shoes of my junior...then he was running around trying to find the one shoe. then the whole club ganged up against him. in the end, we hid it in the rubbish bin, underneath the plastic bag spread over the bin. haha! clever rite?
besides friday duty, there was also my normal duty on sat. i took sat because nobody wanted to wake up early on sat and come and do duty. how noble!(of me.) but i always preferred weekdays because quite frequently i would see a classmate or a friend walk past the counter and i would say hi, chat a while or something before resuming work. how nice! on sat less people came, so i was always quite happy when i saw someone familiar. sigh. but all that is over now. HC library is not fun. i cant help ppl return their overdue books without paying fines now. i havent even learnt how to operate their system. bleagh.

feeling nostalgic, a bout of sadness came over me...i miss TCHS! although it's just next to me...but. there's something missing in HC that was always present in tchs. i cant lay my finger on it. maybe i really should go back one day and look around. wanted to go today but yz helped me take the yearbook already. i will always savour my upper sec years in TCHS.

i love my school.
