[My Primary School]

The life in primary school is all about friendship, having the same group of people doing almost the same thing everyday. Study wasn't really a pressure as there were fewer subjects and easier topic than now.

Primary school life is all about discovery, about the meaning of being number 1 in class, being the teacher's pet and being the everybody's favourite friend...

[Friends]
When we were young.. there wasn't any christian names to remember, all were in simple chinese hanyu pinying. I had quite a few good friends whom I still meet up often.. Years have passed through our life and many things have happened.. Thats why it feels kinda strange to meet up as we were only talking about "the good old days".

I do treasure our friendship as they the ones which leaves me an impression of how I was when I was in Primary School.. incidents where I make people cried, where I hid my classmate's pad and she was so panicked...

[Study]
I was never the first in class.. as the first in class was always also the first in school...
I was never second.. no matter how hard I've tried..
I was always third... being miles apart from the 1st two. Though I had a whole list of people behind me, I hated the feeling of competition.. why must people compete? Maybe I was afraid of losing out.. or maybe I had lost out twice in Primary 4 & 5..

I began to lost the feeling of study.. I just feel that maybe if I study less, I might end up happier..
My grades dropped & I wasn't even in the top 20 anymore.. Finally my pressures were gone.. no one bother to ask about my grades anymore..

I began to mix with more complicated people around my neighbourhood.. end up being caught by the police for playing poker cards at voiddeck.. We were really young then.. so he wasn't really gonna lock us up.. merely took away our cards and ask us to go home....

I ran & ran.. and cried as I ran home... what was I doing? playing cards & marbles at the eve of my PSLE exams.. is it too late to turn back and study better?
It is always never too late to turn around.. ask many people would say.. and yes.. I did passed my PSLE.. but never really did to my teacher's expectation of me..

The only good thing that happen was.. many of my friends went to the same school with me..
