founders' day
it was quite good.....but since we were the only surviving batch who remembers carmee lim the school on the whole didn't seem too interested. just another stupid day where we had to wear ties to go to school on an early saturday morning. but for me it wasn't different. mrs julie hoo came back as a guest speaker. she went up without a script (unlike blin) and told us of an experience she had with mrs carmee lim. it didn't sound boring, at least to me. but the rest of the school was fidgeting. her account was very sincere, adn the way she spoke was so demure, soft, and gentle. i could imagine mrs carmee lim getting all emotional listening to her talk....i hadn't realized but my eyes were wet too when she spoke. the 113 pple are the only ones who know mrs hoo, and definitely remember her. ad xiz n me cheered and cheered when she went up to speak. it was a bit awkward. no one else clapped, no one else cheered. but i hope she heard us and knows that someone still remembers her. all those lit and english lessons we enjoyed so much and had so much fun. she was so......stylish, confident, humorous, witty......so brilliant and dazzling. and the way she read the scarlet ibis...so mysterious and enchanting. she's a good storyteller. that's why we were touched by her story about her encounter with mrs lim. i could feel that even the rest of the school who didn't know her felt so too. but i don't seem to remember her...only vaguely....drifting somewhere in my memory. i can only remember her as...someone who ms ting is similar to. except less blunt, curt and insulting of course=) and much more fair. i guess i felt emotional not only because seeing her made me realize how much i missed her, but also how much i missed those carefree days when we were in sec 1. we did have so much fun in the recording studio...and i guess literature took on a whole new meaning from then on. we're sec 4s already. years passing by. years getting on. sigh. mrs hoo's working @ moe now. it was quite funny when ad said dramatically,"i'll never forgive her for leaving us! i'll never forgive her for promising to come back to us and in the end didn't! i'll never forgive her for lying about mrs see! i'll never forgive her for leaving us to the whims and fancies of mrs see!" bwaharharharharharhar. but it's true. she didn't come back. kinda sad right. and i felt really sad that nobody else in the school knows her except us. but that's a kind of privilege too i guess.
ili val n me went out to cine after that....i ate at bk....then ad joined us and we went to heeren's marche coz the ubar wasn't open yet. the mango cheese cake was lousy. tasted like cardboard. the mango was practically non-existent. the crust was hard and crumbly, and bland. the cheese part of the cake was of poor quality. mashy and tasteless. it was a really big piece for 3.80, but don't be tempted because later you'll regret it being a large piece coz you'll be really sick of it by then. and of course regret the 3.80 as well.
parents are inviting some friends over tomorrow......am going out to study
