Train Ride in TK

So it seems like Mrs. Priscilla Chan has gotten to us all. Haha. So this is my train ride in TK.

2005, the year where I had left my previous train station of Fengshan Primary School and boarded the train through Tanjong Katong Secondary School. I felt kinda emo at that time, with all my Primary School buddies leaving. And then, this genius came along with a great guy. They were Alex and Jermaine!

The three of us did almost al the projects together, and well, we enjoyed it. Then my love for Linkin Park brought yet another awesome dude to join me in the seats closer to me. And this dude is none other than Timothy! At first our conversations revolved around LP but soon we talked about anything and everything under the sun.

Then there was a time when I just simply had to go into NCC(Sea) and not NPCC. I persevered, with help and got it. And I did not regret it.

Then, slowly, I adapted to 1C and made a hell lot of new friends. I was still as childish as I was in Primary School at that time, always teasing Cheryl about her and Timothy. Then there was this girl I became scared of, but later found out that she was cool. The pincher, Joan.

I didn't quite get this guy in 2005 though. I thought that he was kind of a stuckup hypocrite. But next year, when he left us, I found out that he was friggin cool. And that guy was PAUL!!! I remember that whenever he came back to TK during events, all of us would welcome him bck, though it might have involved a little bashing. Haha.

1C became 2C, and I remember the day I entered the classroom again. It was awesome. The whole of the holidays I didn't see any of them, and when I entered the class, I was smiling non-stop. Seeing everyone there again, it was nice. We got to start another year together, a new beginning. And I had absolutely no idea what was in store for me in 2006.

I became from geek to a dude with spike-ish hair and red spectacles. I experienced my first heartbreak. I got to know fellow 2C-ians better. Like, in 2005, I did not have any connections to Yu Shan and Hui Min and others. But then I sorta opened up.

Then the stress was ON. All the teachers talked about couldn't enter my hollow, vacuum-ed head and all the lectures on Streaming did not help. Heartbreaks, too. But well, like all things, it passed.

I made a hell lotta new friends in 2006. Lenice, Adzizul, Haiqal, Aman, Sufyan, Halina, and a lot more. I got closer to Justin, Clayton, Gerald, Soon Hao, Nigel, John and Sean. I came to love 2C. I got more ego-istic. I fell in love with a Primary School classmate of mine, breaking the "I'll always love you" promise.

Not that she wanted me, though. And that was (ding!) my second heartbreak.

Then the exams came along. They passed. And now, well, I leave only memories in my friends' hearts, just like they did mine. But, looking on the bright side, at least we're not leaving the school (yet).

Teachers, you helped, too. Thanks, especially to Ms Wong.

Then in 2005, I joined another family. It was known as Part A `05 TKNCC(Sea). It was great. Tiring, frightening, fun, it rocked. We stuck through thick and thin. Sometimes one of us would go astray but his fellow platoonmates would always guide him back to the true path. But, back then, I still haven't opened up.

The next year, I volunteered for a lot of things, Leadership Training Camp, Yellow Ribbon Project, and a hell lot more things. And with them, I made new friends. I also enjoyed it. Yes, as weird as it may sound, I love volunteer work. I also found out another talent in me through these things, namely being totally shameless and doing anything to make people smile.

So, yeah. That was my train ride.

My life so far in the best in the land (TKSS).
