150th anniversary

so this year is st andrew's 150th anniversary. i first heard of it last saturday, during my jc class almost every year CNY visit to our civics tutor's house. everyone still looks the same! if it wasnt the different life we live and things we talk about, it can easily pass off as a gathering back in 2000

so today, i got reminded of the 150th year after my sas scouts friend started sharing this webisode about st andrew's on facebook. this episode, it tells of this extended family of boys (at least 4 generation) that have been part of st andrew's, and focuses on the youngest boy from the family entering the junior school at primary 1.

though i wasnt from the junior school, i cant help but feel so proud of being a saint for my secondary and jc life. that background music of the school hym and school song we sang so often.. sure bring back a lot of memories..

i went through so much, and learned so much during that 6 years..

• first time i cried in class (at sec 1! haha.. what a cry baby!) after i got bullied by my neighbour (who i thought was my closest friend in class) and his indian friend
• first time i cried in class (at sec 1 again!!) since kindergarten for missing home suddenly during school
• first time i failed in a test
• first time i lost my wallet during scouts camp
• first time i got robbed
• first time i got a crush
• first time a supposedly good friend sneak behind my back and dated my crush (while all the months before i found out, he lied he was going out with some other girl)
• first time i lost a girl because i didnt dare to ask her to be my girlfriend
• first time i rejected a girl
• first time i got myself stalkers and they are quite upfront about it
• first time i danced for a christmas performance for old folks
• first time i..... "dirtied" my pants.. hahahaha.. so embarassing..
• first time i got caught for long hair in school and had to cut it on the spot
• first time i got caught for being around when other people were playing poker cards in class
• first time i cheated in tests
• first time i got attacked by sandflies and spent a year with sores and pus all over my arms and legs
• first time i dropped subject

and all the above are just my secondary school days..

jc first times next....

in the mean time..
