flawed work of art.

you know when you were younger and your parents, teachers, elders, seniors, used to tell you to enjoy school while you can, cos' it's the best experience you're ever gonna get in your life; and we being swamped with piles of homework would think they were joking. clearly, they weren't.
I went back to school today to get my result slip translated to English from Malay. during my 5 years in Convent, I couldn't wait to get out of the place, go far far away, from the icky Malaysian education system and well, school. I never thought I'd one day fail to fit into the school, until today. I felt too old to be there, heck I looked too old to be there. it didn't help that goose came wearing heels and make-up. I could feel it, you know, people scrutinising us. for once in my life, I wished I was walking around in my prefect uniform, with my hair too messy, my blouse sticking out from my skirt and my North Star shoes having big holes in them. oh and my pocket full with stuff. today, I realised that I wasn't the one that left Convent, Convent left me.
and ar, I must also point out that I still have some bond with the PA system, checking out who was in charge of it and all. Pn Geetha's daughter's in charge of it for the afternoon session. heh.
this thursday's the debate finals between SIGS & EC on Convent grounds. how come the finals are always on this date? I remember Form Five, it was between SSI & Convent, and I was on PA duty. duh. Sarah Jane and me. I remember. I remember the candles on the cake that I blew out in the canteen, I remember people singing Happy Birthday to me after the event. I remember having extra EST lesson in the bilik tayangan* and receiving 2 adidas bags and loads of chocolate from my friends. I remember Jillian jumping up and down when I cried. I remembered being happy.
where did that all go?? what happened to those days when we didn't care what each other looked like, what each other wore, how smart the other person was, we just... bonded.
* AV room. air-conditioned some more, man.
