reverse the pendulum

i was looking at my friendster pic...and looking thru my friend lists , notice that all of them have changed since they left sec sch...i felt that i have not really pull myself out of secondary sch memories...both the good and bad memories.....haha...all the pics that im seeing...are so nostalgic...when i rethink those moments...whether good or bad...they are interesting and memorable, thats why this post that im writing will be solely dedicated to the secondary school memories that i have...those that i can rmb...and so im gonna stop the pendulum and reverse the time back to when im in sec one.....

secondary 5,

b4 i begin, sec 5 is a yr where i can say its the most peaceful yr ever...the class is at its best...every1 had fun....those 2 bastards no longer bother...but they are still bastards nonetheless...sec 5 is a time when teachers become friends and we talk like friends talk instead of student to teacher kind of talk....though my grades still sux...i felt that sec 5 is very memorable...

when sch starts again...we found that our class is a very small class...small class that will have to house approx 40 students....-.- when the IPPT comes and we seal up the classroom....the classroom is a sauna sia....haha...so anyway...i think it sort of band us together...our friendship day prj was the best way to show it...result is that we are the overall champ...no 1 can pwn us le...lol...we gt our slogan :"the door is there" we have the record no. of different types of things that broke: window pane, door handle, fake wall, OHP projector and projector....we develop a well covered sentry system....to watch for tcher...lol...we have the fastest reaction time to quiet down which is like 15s? when the sentry alert us...haha...zoom...all back to their seats and diam diam....lol...karen ang throw a chair at rh cos he said he 1st qn for prelims he gt wrong LOL....i stay back almost every day either to study or to crap and slack...lol...when class cleaning is occuring...askdee put on a white mask and a sweater wif a hood over his head and scare the lower secs and those girls opp. our class. ...he position himself at the window pane there and wait for them to see...lol...a couple of them screamed...hahaha....my whole class went crazy...haha...with laughter that is...haha...then he do that stunt again...this time when the girls look back...he use a rag and clean the 'face' which is the mask...then continue to the window panes...lol...we frighten the other classes during our international friendship dayby positioning a toy snake on our window panes outside a corridor...which freak out the whole class...even the guys...they din expect it and tot its a real snake...1 of the guys actually screamed...XD...sec 5 is crazy as well....apart from those hilarious moments...tchers oso go on top speed and pump us with hmwks...of other sch test paper...to prep us for our O lvls. its stressful but we can still manage...and so this lifestyle continue until our O lvls come...
