a very long, rambly entry that only kristin or li-en would understand.
today i went to visit my jia1 zu2, its this yahoo forum-community that josephine, judy, annie & i set up before i left shanghai to come to singapore. basically we post stuff about what's happening in our lives, and reply on each other's posts, while discussing the most ridiculous of things :)
that's when the nostalgia really started to hit me. year 9. year 8. year 7. grade 5. all the people that whirred past like hurricanes. all the things that happened so quickly i can't keep track. and yesterday, while shopping in orchard & chatting with li-en, to be eating dinner together at subway when in shanghai we'd be chilling out at the starbucks opposite school. today, eating lunch after church with fish, when i used to hide from alan at the stone bench thingums on the grassy areas outside the church building, with fish and thomas and we'd be chatting about all the random things.
josephine's going to america. for good. as feesh phrases it, " we'll never be there together again, all of us, at the same time ". li-en and i are in singapore, kristin's in norway, carol and debbie are in sas which isnt so bad, jose's in america, jackson's in canada, and i could list this on forever. take another year, and everybody's going to go back to their countries, or to different schools.
lol remember our "how to flirt" list we compiled? i still have it. & the mafia rules, which consisted of stuff like:
- you must constantly mention the amazement of being able to play one string.
- you must praise other boys' hairstyles, sporting skills, guitar skills, coolness, good-lookingness, brains good complexion in front of him loudly. etc.
we were horrible people werent we, about as mean and bitchy and bimbo as we could get, and i regret all the things we did back then, but year 9 was seriously the best year in my life i've had so far. and i still have the joshua-li-en story! the one about her getting knocked down by a car. :) & my LETTER OF APOLOGY AND COMPLAINT. haha probably the most sarcastic letter given to mr fielding ever.
so here are some photos! They make me laugh and want to cry at the same time.
and i absolutely harth the THISTHATS!
the very intelligent us.
kristin jenni, li-en, jose, during drama, looking good! :)
on my birthday, dressed up very glamorously! i have the make-upd pictures but decided not to post them due to self respect hahahaha.
a whole bunch of us, oustide the art room. hahaha we used to be there almost every lunch just to like sit and chat and watch the guys play basketball for no reason at all, as in we weren't checking them out or anything (we werent that bimbo) we just had nothing better to do, so we'd sort of stone there.
fish! you get the honour of being the first guy picture! & i'll call on you next time they're looking for someone to cruelladeville in a 101 dalmations remix. 
leo, albert and gabriel being rude. the chinese basketballer gang :) they were really nice people but well. i cant say the relationship between the thisthats and them were very smooth. lol kristin i think nearly all of them have either liked or like crystal. sigh. but they're wonderful people and great friends. 
rasmus & jackson. havent managed to find a gokarting track in s'pore yet! and even if i do, i've nobody to go with. as in i dont know anybody who gokarts, i think.
cody, looking er. feminine for drama!
i think this was at frankie's. we were celebrating something, after gokarting. or was it some farewell party for someone. sigh. darren, wayne, josh k, jz, rasmus.
social one - hahaha the social where a lot of things happened. coughscandalcough.
social two - when our 'band' performed and ended up horrible. but the guys were really nice about it :)
