Today is the day we get our 'O' levels results back, whoohooo (a sarcastic cheer, I'm super nervous, lol). Wearing the school uniform which I had been wearing for four years and thinking that this would probably be the last time I wear this uniform, I prepared myself to go to the school which had been mine for four long years, and yet I had not been going there for three months, and after this day, probably not go back for a long time either.
Before we continue any further, a tribute to my uniform, which has accompanied me through five out of seven days every week (the standard and usual week, of course, not considering external factors like the presence of public holidays) and eight out of twelve months (a rough estimation, I couldn't be bothered to go off counting how long exactly the school holidays last) for four long, bloody, fucking years.
...But first, I'm shutting my door and locking it to prevent my father from walking in and ask, "Why the fuck are you laying your uniform on the floor and taking photos of it?" -.-
...I just hope he isn't standing outside, wondering why the door is locked, and thinking, "Hmm... Why is the door locked? Is my son hiding something for me? Could it be... he's secretly watching porn inside!?" If he really thinks that though, I'd reply, "Fuck off, don't think your son's as perverted as you, old man!!" You might notice that I don't really respect my parents. ^_^
Argh~! The tribute! To my uniform!!
And the PE T-shirt as well, I guess.
You may think that this might be stupid and a waste of time, but to me, it's meaningful! So, dattebayo!!
I decided to reach there earlier, to breathe in the air of nostalgia, haha, so I left home at 1.20pm (we were supposed to be there at 2pm, by the way). Reached there half an hour early and decided to first look around for any signs of my ex-schoolmates. I saw Zi Kai hanging out at the piano area with a few of his classmates (we were from different classes, remember?), and some of the 4R1 girls, all looking at someone (couldn't tell who, due to the crowd surrounding him/her) playing the song To Zanarkand (from Final Fantasy X) on the piano. Oh God, I already got sick of hearing that dumb song play over and over and over again every single time I start a new game of Final Fantasy X, and I have to hear it again?? x_X
I decided to go up and check the library first, since after all, it is the place where my friends and I chose to slack during recesses and free periods. XD Well, I saw Ephraim there hanging with a bunch of people I don't know, probably people from 2R2 three years ago, Ephraim's Sec 2 class (we were from different classes when we were in Sec 2). Anyway, after hanging out for a really short while, I decided to leave. Along the corridor between the library and the staircases (the exact same place in which the guys in my class did a Senbonzakura Kageyoshi while waiting for our English 'O' levels Oral examiners to come XD), I noticed a rather cool pile of sand at the construction site. :O
While walking down the staircases, I looked down to see if anyone happens to be coming at that time. Thanks to hitsuzen, Yoshida happened to be in the group just happening to arrive, lol, with Yong Jin, and a bunch of others I didn't take care to notice them. XP I ran down the staircases hurriedly to meet up with my old friend, haha.
The two of us decided to explore the school first, breathe in the air of nostalgia and stuff, before we go to the temporary canteen, where we are supposed to receive our results. We walked to the classroom block, and Yoshida went into the classroom which used to be 3R2's two years ago. Yup, the same classroom that I studied in during my Sec 3 life.
I followed in along and took a picture, haha. It still looks the same, even after two years.
(I'm not proud to admit that I didn't help out in the painting of the classroom :x)
After going to where we used to sit two years ago (not that hard to find it, those two tables are just right beside the back door, haha), we banged the tables lightly (:P), left by the back door and continued in the exploration of our old school, for we knew that this could be our last and final exploration. We went to the third floor, wanting to go into the classroom which used to be 4R2's last year (in other words, our classroom last year ^_^"), but fuck, it was occupied with those noobs currently studying in it this year. Damn!
A rather stupid thought went into my mind, haha. Yoshida and I barge in, shout, "We're hereby claiming the possession of this classroom! Anyone who objects, prepare to fight!", I draw my sword, he take out his scythe, and we thrash whoever stands in our way to conquer back what rightfully is ours.
I even told Yoshida, "Forget one-on-four! I can even take on their whole, entire class, one-on-forty!" Haha. :PMeh, oh well, I didn't have any good reason to spill innocent blood (just wanting to take photos of a classroom sounds pathetic), and Yoshida couldn't really be bothered anyway, so we left. We walked along the third-floor corridor and to the square staircases in the middle to get up to the forth floor. I even took a photo of that spiraling staircases which we have used for four years, haha.
Along the forth floor corridor, I took a photo of the classroom block as well, haha.
We went to the end of the corridor, outside the classroom where 4R1 used to study in a year ago (I forgot which class took it this year), for me to take photos of that lane behind the school, which has now been used as a carpark and a storage room, lol.
We even decided to pop into the ex-4R1 classroom, haha. Realized that those stupid idiots left the air-con running when they left because school ended, lol, so the two of us ended up enjoying some free air-con. XD I don't know why, but for some reason, I took a photo of the ex-4R1 classroom. Maybe it's just because I like the blazing, fiery "4R1" they've drawn on the left of the wall (remember, I'm a pyromaniac)? XD Or maybe I can sell that photo to ex-4R1 students, lol.
Then again, sell what, when they can download it off my Photobucket? -.-
Just as we were about to leave, Bo Jun, along with two girls whom I neither know nor recognize, but infer that they were also from 4R1 last year, rushed into the classroom, telling us that they are nostalgic about their old classroom as well, that they want to come in here and have a look at what happened to their precious classroom, but they thought we were students using this classroom this year so hesitated to enter. Yeah, yeah, whatever, I get your point. Now stop blocking the damned entrance so we can freakin' get out and leave this entire classroom to you. *rolls eyes*
Yoshida stopped by the toilet, just when I felt like taking a photo of the toilet, haha. Hey, I mean, c'mon, I have been heeding nature's calls here for four years, wouldn't it be sentimental to at least take a photo of it?
And it just happens that my photo of the toilet... consists of Yoshida using the urinal. 
Even though I wanted to head to the temporary canteen after fully exploring the classroom block, Yoshida said that he wanted to check out the science block next, so whatever, I went along with him. On the way, I took a photo of the construction site. Wow at the big pile of rubble, and wow at the tall tower-like thingy whatchamacallit as well. Oh, okay, it's a crane. Thanks to Sze Ling for telling me so.
Along the way, I also took a photo of that pain-in-the-ass gate which the bangla always pulled down during recesses and after school to block our way, along with Yoshida currently walking under it. XD Man, I still remember once when I slam the half-opened gate up, shocking Larry (who was walking beside me) and making the bangla shout, "OI!"
And a photo of the benches which I walked past everyday during the 'O' levels period, haha. No thanks to Yoshida for walking past while I was using the auto-focus function. -.-
We reached the science block and saw Ephraim. After chatting a bit, Ephraim headed to the temporary canteen first. I took a photo of the front carpark and the "garden" before we moved on, haha.
We walked past the Biology lab as well. I decided to take a photo of it, since this has been my bedroom during Chemistry lessons for two years. Yes, our Chemistry lessons are in the Biology lab. Fucked up, isn't it? Don't ask me why, 'cause I have no fucking answers myself. Oh, and in case you don't get it, I'm implying that I sleep during every Chemistry period. ^_^
Yoshida wanted to check out the library next, so whatever. Might as well, I haven't manage to obtain a photo of the place where we slack for four years yet. I don't know who that brat is, with guts daring to walk past while I'm taking a photo, but Yoshida is at the background.
We left the science block and headed towards the loooooooooong path to the temporary canteen. I decided to take a photo along the way. Yoshida is on the right of the picture, haha. XD
We met Yuhaimi just before we entered the looooooooong path. Man, that guy looks as if he hasn't shave for five years!!
Probably due to hitsuzen, I got that shaver inside my bag, haha, which Hong Wei bought on my birthday. I even offered it to Yuhaimi, haha, but he didn't want to. Anyway, go get a shave, pal! And a photo of the loooooooooong path as well.
We reached the temporary canteen, where everyone is assembling. Samuel came and told us that Mdm Low pang seh us. T______T Everyone receive results from their form teachers, we receive results from our Physics teacher. Ho seh liao! Both Yoshida and I seem to think that it's because our class scored such lousy resutls that Mdm Low is too embarrassed to come and personally give us our results. She's such a bad teacher, 没脸见人。 (literally, no face to see people. Means, too embarrassed to see others.) XP
Which of course, just made us more pessimistic. The thought of failing even my E. Maths and A. Maths, my best and favorite subjects, crossed my mind, although that's probably nothing compared to Yoshida's, who's even thinking of going to the rooftop and jumping down in an attempt to commit suicide. Wow, we seriously need to have some optimism sent to us via Bluetooth.
Vernon came a while later, and the three of us were hanging around at one side when we were told to sit according to our register numbers. Despite knowing full-well that my register number was 29, I decided to fool around and pretend to forget it, since I haven't been using it for three months, after all, hehheh, so I went around, asking, "What is my register number? I forgot it. Is it 36? Or is it 18? 12? 27? 72? 108?" XD
In the end, no one gave a damn about sitting according to our register numbers, lol. The principal first started talking something (I sighed audibly; who knows how long this guy can go on and on? I'm nervous enough, so shut your trap and let us hurry up and take our results, for Lord Saradomin's sake!!). Wow, there are three people in our school with nine distinctions? Heck, I didn't even know that there are people in our school taking nine subjects!
I can't really remember the other two, but one of them was Xiu Ling, haha [who, rather coincidentally, have been in the same two schools as me (Yumin Primary and Ngee Ann Secondary), and same four classes as me (5H, 6A, 1E4 and 2R4), haha. I still remember at the start of Primary 5, I got dumped to sit beside her because Sean, who was sitting beside me, just kept talking and talking XD (should have put me beside Hong Wei, lol, that guy almost never talks)].Oh, and did I mention my surprise that Xiu Ling was sitting right behind me, but I only found that out when she was supposed to stand up at the mention of her getting nine distinctions? Gave me quite a fright, lol.
And next shown was a list of people with eight distinctions. Zheng Wei was one of them. I must remember to go to him and scream "tyco!" in his face later. After that was how well the school did. Hmmm, 100% A. Maths passes. Phew, I'm glad to know that at least I wouldn't be failing all of my subjects. ^_^
And finally, after all that, it was time to receive our damned results. But ladies first, lol, so us guys were just hanging out at the back while the girls were collecting their results. Lol, I had a chat with Wei Sheng, whom I haven't see for a rather long time [he didn't go to the class chalet, that 野郎 (yarou, bastard). :P And lol, apparently, he saw me at my workplace while I was having breakfast once, lol, so he knew where I worked, but I didn't see him. Hmm...
JUST WHEN I was about to receive my results, Mr Tan just had to force the teachers to stop giving our results and make everyone sit down, just because apparently it is too chaotic. You know, I really respect you for being such a good History teacher and all, but do you really have to stop this RIGHT WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO RECEIVE MY RESULTS, DAMN IT!? -.- Yeah, it didn't help my nervousness, not one bit, God damn it.
Looking at my results convince me that this is a dream, I am in a dream, and I am dreaming. I asked Vernon for ways of checking whether I am really dreaming or not, and Vernon replied, "Let me punch you." Sure, I don't mind, haha, but turns out he was just kidding and didn't want to punch me, lol. (The pro is probably scared of my instinctive counter-attacks...
)As for my results, you can check this blog post, which I have dedicated eight pages to this pain-in-the-ass, waste-of-my-time, mother-fucking son of a bitch set of examinations. ^_^
And oh, I got this as well. o.O
Ah, that NE Quiz I took eight months ago, lmao. Almost forgot about it.
We didn't bother to stay back and hang around much. Ephraim, Vernon, Yoshida and I were just talking about how we were going to celebrate outside after getting out (Yoshida kept telling us to go to the rooftop, implying that we should commit suicide together after getting such bad results. XD Well, can't blame him, he's got the worst out of all of us
). Well, Ephraim did stay back and hang out, while the rest of the three of us, after Vernon had a little talk with Yong Jin, left almost immediately after.On the looooooong path, Yoshida was talking about how we can wreck havoc and spread destruction now that we would no longer be returning to this place. So it's like, yeah, do whatever the hell you want, run away, and no longer be responsible, lol. XP We heard someone behind us kicking the metal wall at one side of the looooooooong path, and I was like, "So, want to challenge me in seeing who kicks the hardest and produce the most sound, punk?" and kicked the wall as well, haha. XD He followed, and I repeated as well, lol. I also banged in with my fist once, haha.
Thanks, Yoshida, you just made two people did a bunch of shit to that stupid metal wall. XD
When we got back to the classroom block, we saw this:
And we were like, "What the fuck is this for?" Lol. I thought it was a guillotine, and both Yoshida and Vernon walked up to examine it. Vernon even pretended to have his neck hang by a rope, lol. I told Vernon, "Want to really give it a try? We can use the straps of our bags." XD
We decided to go back to the class which we have been using last year, check if there is still any punks in there. Luckily, there wasn't, allowing me to take photos of the class which we had used for two years (in Sec 2 and Sec 4, lol).
Argh, they went to cover the whale up! Those jerks! Rascals! Bastards!! The whale which I have been kicking and punching for a year! How dare they cover it up!? Argh!!
Lol, I think Vernon purposely looked away. :P
And we were off, went out of school, and split up. Yoshida decided to accompany me home for me to change, while Vernon wanted to go home to change. We agreed to meet up at Tampines MRT Station and went our own ways.
Back at home, I dumped the stuff I got at school all at home, since I didn't want to carry such heavy shit with me everywhere, lol. Yoshida brought his own clothes to change in his bag all along, haha. Such well-preparedness. :P Figuring that Vernon would probably be wearing black as well, I wore the black T-shirt that Hong Wei gave me for my birthday too, haha. XD Oh, lol, and I still have trouble believing that Yoshida would wear such a vibrant colour like orange. O_O It just doesn't suit his personality!
At the MRT Station, I saw this, and I immediately thought of Ephraim.
Damn it, Ephraim! You don't need a ticket to travel! You can travel for free!!
Yoshida and I were the first to arrive at Tampines MRT Station (pretty obvious and self-explanatory; my house is in Tampines, Vernon's house is in Pasir Ris, and Ephraim's is in Eunos), and we spent half an hour waiting there.
Yoshida was playing some Gundam game on his PlayStation Portable, and later he took a look at my music playlist. Wow, I'm really surprised by the fact that he seems to watch every single anime there is, lol. He can even sing "大キライなぼく19才 (Daikirai na boku juu-kyuu sai; The me who I really hate when I'm 19 years old)" when he saw "19 Sai" (xxxHolic opening) on my playlist, and "FIRST KISS から始まる ふたりの恋の HISTORY (FIRST KISS kara hajimaru futari no koi no HISTORY; The history of our love started from our first kiss)" when he saw "First Kiss" (first opening of Zero no Tsukaima) on my playlist, lol!
Next, he showed me his music playlist on his PSP. A bunch of Bleach endings I don't listen to, some Gundam songs, some Inuyasha songs, yeah, haha. Vernon came at long last (wearing black as I very well expected
), and we headed for Tampines Mall. We first went to play pool, Vernon against Yoshida, with me as an extra and helping whoever I felt like helping (^_^"). Lol.Ephraim came quite later, wearing black as well, haha. Pointing Yoshida as an odd-one-out because he was wearing orange, he took out his black jacket from his bag and wore it. XD Since Ephraim came, we quickly started playing 2-on-2, haha.
Two interesting events while we were playing pool, aside from the fact that Vernon kept winning:
One, it was Yoshida's turn. I was standing at one side really close to the white ball, and Yoshida did a flying shot, and the white ball went flying and hit my private part. x_X I'm glad it wasn't a really strong shot or anything, lol. To be honest, I didn't even feel it. I just saw the ball flying and hitting me and went shouting and screaming at Yoshida. ^_^
Two, it was Ephraim's turn. He tried to shoot an easy ball in, but since his skills are rather bad (mine are equally bad if not worse x_X), I told him, "I know you sure can't get it in one. If you hit it, I won't call you 'Shorty' any more." I meant to say that he should hit the ball in. So anyway, he shoots, and the white ball hit that ball, but it didn't go in. So he played with my words, saying, "I hit the ball! Now stop calling me 'Shorty'!" Hey! I meant for you to get the ball to go IN first!! Oi!!
Note: I decided to flip it for the benefit of noobs who don't read manga, so read it from left to right, like comic strips.
Out of the cues, one was heavy, and the other was light. Vernon didn't like using the heavy one, but I wanted to use the heavy one (because the heavier it is, the stronger your shots, or so I suppose), so we decided to start a new game, with the ones wanting to use the heavy cue against those wanting to use the light cue. ......And so, we have Vernon and Yoshida vs. Ephraim and I. The pros in pool vs. the noobs in pool.
You don't have to use your brain; just use your ass to think and you can tell who won and who lost. XDEphraim wanted to go and watch a movie, so we sent him to go and find out what movies there are while the three of us continued playing.
The queue was rather long, so Ephraim and I were chatting about my work and his JC life. Since it really sucks for me to reply "Oh, I paste stamps" when asked "What is your work?" (-.-), I lamely replied, "Mail industry. Yeah." And he replied, "You sort mail?" I was like, "Yeah, yeah, I sort mail." Although I tend not to, because I always screw up and the mail would always end up the wrong place. ._.
Since the movie was NC16, the girl at the counter asked us while we were buying the tickets, "Is everyone watching the movie sixteen years old or above?" Ephraim replied politely, "Yes", while I added, rolling my eyes, "Obviously lah." XP That got me an "Oi!" from Ephraim, and I had to mumble "Sorry." lol.
Ephraim helped us to pay for the movie tickets, and holy sweet shit, he's got a $50 note to pay for the tickets!! Even someone like me, who is working, only has $30 in his wallet! Rich
I ended up taking care of the tickets (hey, I have a responsibility to, I suppose, since I'm the eldest), but hey, who's complaining? If I let Ephraim take care of them, and he ends up disappearing like he usually does? It isn't easy finding him, given his small size, y'know?
At about 5.30pm, we stopped playing, and Yoshida and I returned the cues and the balls. Upon seeing that Ephraim was carrying Yoshida's bag, I went, "Shit! I forgot to take my bag!", rushed back, and upon seeing that my bag apparently disappeared, started to panic. Yoshida was the same, as I was too worried about my own bag to tell him that Ephraim took his bag for him.
...Turns out Ephraim took both of our bags, lol. I told him, "I don't know whether I should thank you, for taking my bag for me, or to whack you, seeing that you made me worry and panic for a while." XD
There was still an hour and a half left to the movie, so we played some arcade. Well, the games at Tampines Mall suck, so I didn't really play much. I mean, House of the Dead 2 and Time Crisis II? C'mon!! Ephraim wanted to play House of the Dead 2, but since he looked so poor thing and pathetic asking, "Come on, anyone want to play with me...? T_T", I ended up playing with him. I'm not complaining, it's his treat anyway.
Why didn't anyone tell me that I can reload the gun by covering some parts of the gun? I kept flicking it up to reload, and once, hit the screen trying to do so.
Oh well. I died a while later and Yoshida took over me. Being rather bored, I decided to take a photo of them playing. XP The screen looks like fireworks. o.O
After both of them died, Vernon started playing Time Crisis 2, and Yoshida joined in as well. Again, I was being bored and taking photos. XD This one has no auto-focus. :O
I tried again, but Yoshida, talking to Ephraim, had his head turned. x_X
Yet another one, lol, this one to take advantage of the fact that Yoshida was currently playing, so he can't turn around and avoid my camera. XD
Oh, and I forgot to mention: The photos are all taken without permission nor knowledge of those three.
We later went to play ping-pong, haha. Ephraim and I against Vernon and Yoshida. I always hit the puck too hard and it always end up flying away, and either Ephraim or I had to run and get it back. x_X In the end, the two of us won 11-9, haha.
We went for dinner before the movie starts. Deciding where to have dinner took a pretty long time. At first we wanted to go to the food court (ignoring Particle's protests. Yay, I no longer instinctively call him Shorty! ^_^), but there was really nothing to eat there, lol, so we ended up in Long John Silver's.
I wasn't really hungry, so I told Vernon to just help me buy a bottle of drink to kill time while I wait for them to finish. After waiting for a rather long time alone, guarding the table and the two bags (who knows why Ephraim and Vernon didn't bring theirs, lol?), Ephraim was the first to come. Being rather bored, I decided to secretly take a photo of him, haha, but I think he realized, because he was covering half of his face with his hand.
Though, is his left eye hurting because it contained a seal? o.O
After finishing our drinks, Yoshida and I were both complaining about how much ice they gave us (because the more the ice, the less the drink). I decided to throw my ice into Yoshida's cup, take a photo, and tell everyone of how much ice drinks in Long John Silver's contain.
After dinner, we went to play more arcade while waiting for the movie to start, lol. I teamed up with Yoshida in ping-pong against Vernon and Ephraim and it was a draw, 11-11, haha. We also found this game named Let's Go Jungle!, which we didn't play. The graphics was stunningly beautiful, but what the fuck, the people look ugly!! X________X
In the cinema, out of the four of us, Vernon sat at the right corner, while Yoshida sat at the left, with Ephraim sitting second from left and me third from left. Vernon was telling me how he wish a chiobu would sit beside him. Yeah, sure, so during scary parts, she can scream and hug you in fear, right? In the end, no one came sitting beside Vernon, lol, so I told him to just imagine one up.
And lol, Vernon was feeling cold, so he tried asking Yoshida to lend him his jacket, but after hanging out with him for four years, I knew that Yoshida wouldn't. XP And Ephraim told Vernon, "During scary parts, just close your eyes." Yeah, sure,
The movie is rather stupid lah. In most scenarios like this, where you are up against scary, unknown and possibly dangerous monsters as enemies, isn't it common sense to go and grab yourself a weapon, arm yourself? Those idiots don't have common sense, man. I don't know, whatever, even just a stick or a rod would help. Beats struggling helplessly.
And there was this bitch with the bible, oh my fucking God!! Right on her entrance, I had hoped for someone to kill that madwoman. Spouting nonsense and wrecking everyone's nerves was enough, looking so fucking ugly was okay too, but making everyone panic and doing stupid shit? God, you got to be kidding me. That granny throwing the can of beans at the madwoman pwns, haha.
And speaking of that granny, wah! She power sia! Bug spray plus lighter equal powerful flamethrower that pwns those huge insect monsters! Whoohooo! I wanna try something like that, haha. XP Maybe I should buy a can of insecticide and a lighter when I am free...
I really pity that soldier who got stabbed thrice and thrown out, just because he knew how the mist came. I mean, it isn't really his fucking fault to begin with. Fuck that bitch with the bible for transforming everyone into mindless, brainless zombies.
And speaking of that mist, that was really stupid. Try to connect to another world, and there you have it, they connected to, all of the worlds, one filled with mists and monsters. They just can't connect to a friendlier world, can they? -.-
That blur-looking guy who pwns with the handgun... Damn, I like him, lol! Not only does he pwn with the handgun, but he KILLED THAT FUCKING BITCH AS WELL! Whooohoooooo! One shot in the stomach to shut her up, and one headshot to fucking finish her. Whoooohoooooo! After the first shot, I was grinning from ear to ear, haha, expecting someone to start cheering, but no one did, so after the second shot, I was like, "What the hell..." and started cheering damn loudly and clapping. XD
Too bad he got killed five minutes later though. ;_;
That ending was really ironically funny, even though it's clearly evident that it's not meant to be funny. The five of them tried to escape on a car, but went out of fuel. Knowing that they are at their ends and desperate for a quick death, with four bullets in the handgun, the main character killed the other four. Since he couldn't commit suicide (the handgun ran out of bullets), he got out of the car, shouted for the monsters to come and get him, and what the fuck? Tanks with soldiers come and clear the mess up.
If only they waited for five more minutes, they wouldn't have to die. ._. Stupid ending, doesn't it? Vernon laughed rather loud, lol, especially at the man's desperate screaming.
Well, one thing I learnt from this stupid movie, is that no matter how dark it seems, never give up. Because if you do, it will probably get a lot better in five minutes, and you practically got owned. XD
After the movie, Ephraim had to go, since his parents were downstairs and waiting for him, so he left after we said goodbye. Vernon, Yoshida and I went over to Century Square and looked around the arcade there. Wanted to play House of the Dead 4, but no one was interested, since it was so expensive. We wanted to look inside Comic Connection, but it was closed. Sigh. In the end, the three of us went back home as well, with Vernon taking a MRT home, while Yoshida and I took a bus.
Oh, and in the bus interchange, we saw Daniel as well, lol. It was pretty interesting that the ages of the three of us are really close, lol. I was born on the 18th of January, Daniel on the 19th, and Yoshida on the 21st, haha, so we are just days apart from each other. :P
