i miss how sometimes i would bump into joel at kovan mrt's bus stop or marian near the zebra crossing .
the long walks up to school is so much easier with someone i know .
i miss how when i go to the lockers to dump or get stuff, vanessa is already there, someone to wave to and brighten my day .
i miss how when i go to A2-1 to cool down under the fans, shirlene would know where to find me and join me .
i miss how lionel would also know where to find us, and he's almost always sad when he comes to school in the morning with his dour face .
i miss how joel would swagger towards us with his iPod plugged in, before breaking in a grin followed by a "What's up bitches?!"
i miss how charlotte would come with her huge crumpler bag, and always carry something with her .
and how she would go "Bloop bloop!" or something random and when you give her the queer look, she'd just mumble or go "Heh."
and how when the short J1 walk pass, we'd nudge her and laugh .
i miss how fiona would always carry something cute with her, which we would proceed to squeeze the object while she protests with a "EHH!" and snatch the object back .
i miss how when we assemble, sarah would already be sitting at the side of the assembly grounds, waiting for yanni or aqidah to come .
i miss how when assembly is about to start, marian or joyce or aisyah would come pelting down to join the class before the anthem begins .
and how shawn is "in the toilet"
i miss how joel and i would diss and make fun of the J1 councillers when they do annoucements .
i miss seeing zhi xian always carrying a clearly overstuffed bag, shoebag and lots of books and saying hi to practically the whole school with "Ehhhh...!" or "OMG!" and stuff like that .
i miss how when we go to A2-1, yanni, sarah and aqidah would already be seated at the tables near the door .
and how steph, mai and cheryl sit at the table near the teacher's table .
i miss how mai would always look so dead tired with her huge eyebags and stoned expression .
i miss how joel would run into class with a iced tea and apple lattice before class starts .
and how joyce would almost always be carrying a hot drink in .
i miss how cheryl would always be slightly late too, preoccupied with council stuff, with her bag slung on one shoulder and carrying the largest stack of files and books around for the whole day .
i miss how when someone from musical walks past, yuen, haniel, rebecca usually and we'd wave frantically with a "Hi!!"
i miss how steph always sits at the same tables near Good News, munching on something from home with her iPod plugged in .
and mai's Dora the Explorer lunchbox .
and shirlene would be nibbling at her food .
and how shawn would come and ask "What's that?" before taking a drink or a bite from someone's food even though he had just did that to another guy beside us .
i miss how in the canteen when someone stands up to return the plates or get a drink, everyone would just ask the guy to help them return or help them get a drink .
i miss how 2A01 would always be at the first in the LTs, dump our bags, get food and return to eat inside .
and how we fool around with the mike .
i miss how we would force zhi xian to call or run to the office to turn on the aircon in the LTs with "Go enthu go!" and volunteering him for everything .
i miss randomly calling people to disturb them during lectures or send them messages and when they turn, mouth "Hi." across the row .
i miss disturbing lionel or he disturbing me with our randomness during lectures, when we would give each other the queer look and go "Okaaayyyy..."
and how during history lectures we would all pester joel for Wonka Nerds or Mentos he brings to every lecture .
i miss during Econs lecture we would suddenly be all focused and dilligently copying down notes when we hear Mrs Sim walk down the aisle .
i miss how during PE, lionel and i would be helping Mr Yong do his admin work and weighing ouselves when we walk past the PE office .
i miss how when its time for thursday assembly, someone would always be without a tie .
