Reminiscence Part 5 ... the 3 giants ...

The 3 are ... Wayne L, KS Tan and Roger Y ... they are the taller chaps, the bigger chaps and who are always asked to sit behind so that they don't block others ... except for Roger who always wanna be at the front so he can supposedly soaked up more knowledge ... hahaha

Wayne - he is the toughest looking chap with real chinaman features and has a baby brother who is the spitting image of him - with that natural scowl - everyone stays on his good side - still he has a wickedly good sense of humor and can say and do more with the lift of an eyebrow than some people with a mouthful of words

KS Tan - the easy going one amongst the three - energetic and always seemed to appear as if he is this large clumsy friendly giant - but with his easy going nature he gets along with most everyone

Roger Y - he always act smart but projected an image of a blur but friendly chap - still I believed he is pressured from home to be a brain - he doesn't have a wicked heart but just feel that he should be a little stronger inside

So that's our 3 jolly giants from St's

Reminiscence Part 4 ... the brain boy

[This is typed on 24.02.2012 @ GPT Sepang based on memories of childhood]

If there is one person who can be deemed to be the brain boy ... it is Albert LiauKienFie ... he is the one guy who throughout our 6 years at St's remained top boy ... he is usually amongst the top scorers for all subjects and always maintained in the top few positions ... if not no 1 most terms/ semesters ...

But the best part of Albert is that ... he is so nice ... he is sincerely nice ... not a goody-2-shoe but just a pleasant gentle lad ... that's why a lot of people like him ... he doesn't get into trouble, attends classes, behave like a good kid with jokes and no dirty humour, religious, even athletic ... he is thin, fair, hormones coming out (you can see the darker lines on his face!) ... and a bit of a BO when he gets all athletic ... but not regular BO ... that's why everyone likes him ... or at least I think so ...

There are the crazies who wanna be no 1 and are secretly jealous with him and be his buddy but all bitchy behind his back ... and you know ... am glad Albert didn't know ... so he remained this nice chap all throughout ...

So Mr Liau ... I raised my glasses to you and hope to be buddies through the years to come!

Reminiscence Part 3 ... the inner circle

[This is typed on 23.02.2012 @ GPT based on memories of childhood and not actually what happened on this particular day ... hehehe]

Well another day another moment spent for remembering the past and I have to admit besides my secretly admiring TBW and OKH as best buddy, there is a small group of mates, that for better or worse, are my so-called inner circle ... and here they are ...

Mikey the Chin ... overweight and have a passion to sing ... and always entering song competition and blowing away the competition i.e. always winning ... still he is odd ... he is not super top in terms of studies but not super bad ... but he is super competitive ... still we like Mikey Mike

OTC ... skinny gentleman with long hair centre parting down, glasses and a bit of a teeth ... always gung ho and all out to get things done ... unique amongst our close circle as our school or rather our class is so goody-two-shoes ... whereas OTC's dad is a rich bloke who has more than 1 wife and OTC is 2nd wife's kid ... a bit of a scandal in our circle ... still he was the kid who has all the comics and the one who actually orders comics from those mailing catalogues including Mile High ... and he was the only one who has Marvel Heroes Secret Wars issues and DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths!

Lastly we have Lloydy Doidy ... and this is another unique gentleman ... he is very fair to the point that even his hair is not jet black like the rest of us ... and owing to his peculiar name (for us back then) ... we even think perhaps he is Eurasian? What is his name? The only chap with 2 surnames Lloydy (the) Gun (Yang) Young (Wind) Hong Teik (Bamboo). See?

And that is the gang that I used to hang around before school, during school and after school. Of course, I was closer to OKH just like OTC and LD hung out more while Mikey because he stays in Tg Bungah ... well ... we do meet once in a while but if any of us organizes anything, the rest would be automatically included ...

And that's us ... in a nutshell until Standard Six ... what will Form One bring, I wonder?

Reminiscence Part 2 ... best friend

[This is typed on 23.02.2012 @ GPT based on memories]

Another day ... another day of chilling out at home ... doing nothing much except sleep, wake up, watch cartoons and eat ... and waiting for any trip organized by the folks ...

So let's move on to bicycling and best friends ... for the bulk of the past year or so ... whenever I come home from school if there is nothing much to do ... it is the bicycle ... and I would generally popped over to ... Gerbang Midlands ... where my best mate KH Ooi lives ... and if anyone else is around we will meet them but otherwise it will be us going around, hanging out at his home or going to the neighbourhood playground and just play the swings, roundabout and slides and avoiding the cow dung ... hahaha ... I kid you not! Cow dung ... ugh!

KH Ooi ... from the first time I knew him stays with his elderly mom, an aunt and an older sister ... dad passed away and he has a married elder brother ... never knew what he actually did as he would occassionally drop by only ... but our parents obviously know each other since we are from the same neighbourhood ...

Life is simple, eh? Whenever we can afford, one of us would have gameboy ... but the old world version where it is in black-n-white ... we do not have the Atari though ...

Reminiscence Part 1 ... My First Admirer

[This is typed on 22.02.2012 @ GPT based on memories]

As this is school holidays, I would spent it watching tv, playing creative games with my cousins, going out bicycling with my best mate Ooi KH (Frozen Wind) ... and just hang out basically doing nothing much ... so what the heck?!?!?! Let me take this opportunity to share my earliest thoughts about who I am crushing on ...

There is only one person ... throughout my time at this school ... this is the truth ... of course then again I am only just turned 12 ... and our school is generally the goody-2-shoe ... we don't even say SHIT ... it is taboo ... could you believe this?

So during this whole time ... somewhere along the line, I started having a crush on BW Teoh ... I kid you not ... he is our class monitor, he is the school head prefect, he is the Troop Leader of the Boy Scouts (overall boss is called Troop Leader and Patrol Leaders are the bosses of sub groups if I am not mistaken) ... he is of slightly below average height, neatly slicked back generally long black hair, wearing glasses, always perfectly groomed with tie in place and shirt tucked in. his shorts are way too tight and I guess as he grew out of them his parents never bothered to buy new pair because we are moving to secondary school and we will be switching from dark blue to jungle green ...

So tight until you can see his brief or underwear lines ... hahaha ... I kid you not ... I saw this a few times ... his skin is tan, he is perfect shape not fat or thin or muscular ... and his behaviour is the epitome of Mr Goody-2-shoes ... and though he is friendly and all that everyone likes to make fun of him calling him Mr Show Off and all that ... but the truth is I could not take my eyes off him ...

That's why I remembered 3 distinct incidents:

(a) I remembered him being seated next to me ... we have a twin seating system i.e. 2 desks joined together ... and for a while he was my seat mate ... and one day I happened to glance down and automatically checked out his crotch the way his supertight shorts are squashing his manhood ... and was even thinking if he pushed his wee wee downwards so that it looked so flat in front

(b) I remembered seeing him standup and bent over slightly and I was trying to discreetly eyeing his butt to enjoy the firmness and the underwear lines

(c) I remembered seeing him squatting down to get something out of his bag ... and it was PE time so he had his team colours singlet on, the blue shorts and a sky blue underwear peaking out at the top of his shorts

Is that so gay or what? I am only 12 and I remembered that until ... forever ... that's the sad truth though ... so was I born this way?

Bye Bye Primary School ...

[This is typed on 22.02.2012 @ GPT based on memories]

A bittersweet day of sorts ... after 6 eventful years ... where I grew from a nervous baby to a nervous kid (hah) ... filled with all sorts of lies, mental torture, troubles, fights, bullshit ... the cycle comes to an end ... school ends ... and next year I will not be coming back here any more ... I will be moving to secondary school in the city and it is so sad as we in this school are now at the pinnacle ... we are the seniors and we are going to start from the bottom rung all over again!

Well, we had all sorts of events and at the end of it all I took home my science project ... and headed home only to find out that there should have been a memo out for students on when to register at the other school ... and I didn't know and had to head back to school and dug around until I found a piece of this note in someone else's desk ... and clutching it went back home again ... so while everyone had gone off ... I had a second farewell ... the emptiness of the school rooms ... the emptiness of school corridors ... the emptiness in the fields ... the weakening sunlight ... everything added to the sense of desolation

Damn! I HATE FAREWELLS ...
