School Memories 2

Was msning Kenny aka big foot Cai this afternoon when i realised i omitted his name on the list of my primary school friends. whahaha... Sorry bro... He was one of the very few friends who was not in the same class as me. Anyway, i got to know him after our weekly house practice session. Had lots of fun then.

Shall continue on my school memories part 2 in this entry.

Junior College: NYJC
Had a short stint at NYJC for the first 3 months during provisional entry. Actually, i quitted once i got my O level results. I din really enjoy my stay there cos i dun feel like being part of the NYJC culture. I still remember i made a nasty comment on the college which shocked my GP tutor. Everything seemed ancient to me, old buildings, cannot-make-it canteen, worn out running tracks.

Over there, i managed to make a few good friends including Kin Jun. Whenever we hang out together (even till today), we will behave very differently. Uttering rubbish and things that do not make sense at all. If Weiqiang turns up, it will go out of control. ha... Golden Pillow, Xin Ah Lang Gu Shi... All kind of nonsensical talks.

Polytechnic: SP
Made up my mind to join SP after i left NYJC. This is another impt chapter in my life. I had a tough time in SP, courtesy of my classmates. Schoolwork was ok for me. ha.. Did very well in SP, however, the human to human relation was scary. Too much for a 17 yr old kid.

For the first time in life, got stabbed and betrayed by friends. We were very close during our first year, however, by our third year, some turned their back against us. I was very affected. Even within the small group that i always hang out with, pple get very emotional and vent their frustration on the innocent me.

Well, it is because of all these that i became very close with Ken. Many wondered why i became so close to him. For a simple reason, we weathered many storms together. He always provide advise and solution. Everyday while we took the same bus on our way home, we would evaluate the day situation.

Can you imagine? It's like planning for our next course of action. Something like a war game. Here are some of the strange things that both of us encountered.

1. There was once when we were doing a project. Initially, we were discussing happily, the next moment, one of our groupmates will walk away and ignore us. When u try to ask, no reply will come from her. Cold war for a few hours or even days. Ken and i will try to recall and evalutate wat we had said earlier. But till then, we cant determine anything. ha...

2. Whenever u talk to someone, this classmates of ours will not maintain an eye contact wif you. Instead she can look sideways and eavesdrop at others. It's damn scary. It's like multi tasking at the same time. I always ask ken to keep a look out in case when she is talking to another person, she will also eavesdrop our conversation.

3. In fact, she can also be very pretentious. She can tell u she did this and these. Then later, u realise she also did tat and those. Very scary. If u ask for help, they can siam and pretend not to know anything. In some worst scenario, they even backstab you. Trust betrayal.

These are only some of the few examples that i share. There are more than that. Well, it has been many years. I wonder how they are doing now. Lost contact with most of these pple. I guess it is a blessing in disguise.

Due to studies as well as the bad times i had, i had a new belief on boy girl relationship.

"ANY BOY GIRL RELATIONSHIP BELOW THE AGE OF 20 IS MOSTLY A FAILURE"

My belief for this still stands today. I welcome any form of challenge. I am prepared to defend it all the way. Never see one relationship that could last from then if a couple dated early. Well, maybe there are successful ones but i havent seen one. Most of them break out eventually. So am i not wrong? ha....

Other than Ken, i also get to know pple from other faculty and class, that includes Lilian, Joseph, Ron etc. We are still in contact today. Thanks to the China trip that bonded us together. They are so much lovelier. We always gossip n talk abt anything, from relationship to our future. This is the kind of pple i hope to meet in poly. But sad to say, my classmates were in this category.

I think it will be too long to talk abt university days. Shall KIV till next entry. ha.. Need to go grab some rest. Before that, i need to watch a TVB serial. hahaha... Xiu Cai Yu Dao Bing. Yes, my only form of leisure before i sleep.
