Nostalgia

The greatest thing that has happened in my life is none other than studying form 6.

I miss form 6 life.

Waking up early in the morning, drive lazily to gate 5, and then drag myself into my class and then fall asleep on my table.

Watch my friends come in one by one, then wait for the bell to ring and the teacher to enter the class or go to DK.

Normally, for the first few periods, my lethargy triumphs. I would just fall asleep until the sun is shining enough or the aroma of fried chicken from the chicken permeates to my class.

I too once in charge of the attendance book. It was a burden and troublesome too.

Then normally after recess time, I would be more lively.

But the humid and hot weather make almost all of us listless. We can't concentrate in class so we just play around and ignore our teacher.

Sometimes when teacher does not enter the class, we'll just go out lepak. Form 6 is quite free, they aren't strict with discipline.

I remember we once played boardless chess in class. We had the pieces only, so we used a ruler as the river and played boardless chess.

Then we play with syilings.

Then we poked people around.

When assignments are due and we couldn't do them, we just go search around for plausible answers and copy one entirely because we have no better choice to take.

When STPM result is released, we'll quickly contact everyone and ask about their result.

Then the next day after school, we'll all move to BSN to buy PIN number for retake, turning BSN into Jit Sin.

When we see too many people lining up, we'll just shove all PIN number to one who arrives first and gets to be served first.

I miss the moment, after school, we all go play badminton together.

I miss the moment, after school, we go around BM to look for famous hawker food. Sentosa yam rice, Jalan Kulim laksa etc...

I miss the moment, on Thursday, we go to now closed AEON Jusco to watch movies.

I miss the moment, every semesters, we wait for new publications to be on sale.

I miss the moment, every week, we have to stay back in school to study or attend co-curriculum activities.

I miss the moment, every day, after school we'll stay back and have lunch.

I miss the moment, sometimes, it rains and we wet ourselves on our way to our car.

I miss the moment, every day, whole throng of people walk out of the gates together in the hot sun.

I miss the moment, after every class, we'll go to toilet together and enter the class slightly late.

I miss the moment, for almost every week, we have a time to mingle around and play sports at our favourite place.

I miss the moment, every day, we play like children in the class.

I miss the moment, weirdly though, that we cooperate and clean the class during gotong-royong.

Form 6 life is awesome, and I never once regret taking STPM.

I would give everything I could if there's an opportunity to study form 6 again.

It is the best thing that has happened in my life. The most beautiful and memorable.

I miss it so much I refuse to write this post in past tense.

Nostalgia.
