A day back at KC!!!

Hah, its 31st August 2004, so without fail, I would go back to school to celebrate Teachers' Day, although this year is different coz Grace is in Australia.... Anyway, didn't manage to sleep early coz I was having some conversations, but still I woke up at 6am in order to reach school at 8am sharp....

7.55am and I alighted from the bus. From the bus-stop, I can already hear the familiar noises. Teachers and prefects shouting:"Girls! settle down, spread out and keep quiet!" Despite that, you can still hear the noise from numerous girls chit-chatting boilling up... haha, its juz so typical isn't it? While walking towards the school gate, I noticed that the railings of the overhead bridge has been changed, it was no longer the filthy green one, it was plain, shiny steel....

At 8am sharp, I was in the General Office, ready to exchange for a visitor's pass (although its not neccessary for me anymore.) I saw Cikgu Rathia sitting down and preparing the gifts for the other teachers, I offered to help, but she said no need, finish already... Hmmm, she still recognises me and she remembers Grace too, asked for Grace and I told her that Grace would have loved to be here, but she's currently studying in Aussie and won't beable to come back.... She then told me that the rest of the school was at the field doing the morning workout (I'm still sad and surprised that there isn't Teachers' Day Mass) and so I made my way to the field. I stood at the 2nd level of the canteen and saw the amount of fun the girls were having, and suddenly I yearned to join in the fun.... Mrs Kee is still as spontaneous as ever, standing right in front doing the workout and standing just behind Mrs Kee to the left was Mrs Koh!!! Haha!!! What a comical sight!!! As I scanned across the field, at the far back I can see Mrs Siva, Ms Devi, Mrs Florence Ang, Ms Mary-anne Tan, Mrs Boey, Mdm Foo, Mrs Tan, Mrs Lingesh, Ms Helen Lie, Mrs Sng and Mrs Agnes Tan. The music for the workout was excellent! Damn happening, if I close my eyes and block out the morning sun-light, I would think I'm in some club...... After the morning workout, the girls proceeded to the Hall for Dance-a-thon.

Walking up the stairs to the assembly hall sure does bring back lots of memories, afterall, I've climbed those stairs for 4 consecutive years before, every step that I climb, I would think back on how we used to joke and laugh about everything and anything under the sun, running around in our white blouse and blue pinafores.... Suddenly, I came back to reality when I heard a prefect shout:" Girls! Lower your volume! Walk faster!" At the Hall, I no longer need to sit on the floor, I now sit with the prefects and teachers, so I was just dreaming when another prefect interrupted my thoughts(I was thinking of Derrick..) when she shouted:" Girls! settle down! Keep Quiet! Move towards the centre of the Hall!" haha, it all sounds so familiar doesn't it? I guess it just runs in the blood of KC prefects. As soon as all the teachers and girls were settled, dance-a-thon began.... I expected some pretty mediocre performance, but I was greatly taken aback, these girls were marvellous! They had everything, sexy, butt-shaking moves and the songs ranged from Venga Boys to Tata Young!!! OH!!!!! Brilliant.... Halfway thru the performance, someone opened the door of the gymnasium and I could smell that familiar smell... hmmm... feeling nostalgic again.... Anyway, back to the performance, I just have to say, I totally love 2/7's performance, they were dancing to this really catchy song and its so catchy (and applicable to some pple) its stuck in my head.... Goes like this...

U G L Y
you ain't got no alibi,
you're ugly... urh urh
you're ugly...

haha, I couldn't stop singing it today and I totally irritated Denise with it.
At the end, it was time for the results and 2/7 was the champion class for the secondary 2 level and it was 3/5 who was the champion for the sec 3 level.... when I heard the announcement of 3/5 clinching the champion, I was brought back to Talentime '98.... Let the Music Heal Your Soul.... yes... 3/5, we won, we were so surprised, Sophia, Grace and I were screaming our heads off and hugging each other at the back of the hall!! We made Mr Abt so proud of us.... talking about Mr Abt, when I saw the morning workout, I can imagine Mr Abt wearing our PE attire and working out with us.... hmmm... beautiful memories....

After being dismissed from the Hall, I walked to the Choir Board and to my surprise, Mrs Jalleh was back! And she was in charge of the Choir, and they changed the uniform and the choir looks so much better now.... After looking at the choir board, I left, knowing that the next time I'll be back will be either Chinese New Year or Teachers' Day.... With a heavy heart and a boggled mind, I walked out of the gate....
