recollections

currently listening to: 蟬時雨 [w-inds.]

was thinking during tuition just now.
it just came randomly, i've no idea why.

there was once i asked for his address, and he gave me a street name.
being the stupid pri 2 kid that i was then, i went: huh?
cuz i was expecting something like 'tampines' or 'bedok' or 'simei' etc.
i didn't even know that street names existed actually. hahaha.
that was how gullible i was.
and that encounter was when i learnt about the existence of street names.
i remembered that he was trying to explain to me about the difference between districts and streets.
but i just couldn't understand what he said. hahaha.
so i started to look around in the car and noticed lots of road names and stuff.
only then did i go "orrhh..".

and then there was another time when he brought a mechanical shaker to school.
i was like: ooo.. what's this? can shake one leh!!
okayy again the gullible pri 2 kid like me didn't know that shakers existed then.
i was thinking that it was a 'really cool mechanical pencil that can be shaked'.
erms. ya. heh.
then he showed me how it worked, but i think he refused to lend it to me. haha.
so a few days later i bought one of my own!!!
from the school bookshop. heh.
the same brand and type.
but i think his was yellow or blue and mine was red.

oh and there was this time when Ms Jenifer Yeo actually said we're the quietest couple in class!!
'couple' not as in the boy-girl relationship.
it's just because we were desk partners sitting together.
now that i think of it: how can it be possible??
i don't remember keeping my mouth shut during those days. haha.
but i did recall that i always act guai during Ms Yeo's lessons.
she even said that i'm such a sweet girl and she can't believe i have a brother who's a pain in the neck. *wahahhaa*
yeah but anyways that remark wouldn't have been made if he wasn't my partner.
if it was Renyou or somebody of the likes we would have been branded the noisest partners in the entire century. heh.
but yeah, point is that Ms Yeo said that we were the ROLE MODELS of the class.
*rofl*

hmm... there was once he told me something about me looking like his friend.
said something about my specs (yeah the obiang pri school type) and how i looked exactly like her.
i think that was when i asked him about his best friend and he told me about macey.
=X

i recall that we were transferred from the last row to the second last row.
one day he became quieter than usual and went about working and working on the assignments.
i recall i was rather scared that day. i wonder why. hahas.
plus he was a little sick that day too i think.
cuz he was sniffing and sniffing away.
at the end of the day he gave me all his assignments.
i was rather freaked out cuz i thought that for once he is allowing me to copy his homework officially.
but it turned out that he wanted me to hand it in for him because his grandmother had passed away and he wouldn't be in school the next day.
ehh... i forgot what my reaction was.
but i know that that incident really strengthened the impression he had in me.
yep.

oh and there was this period when i kept bugging him to sign my autograph book.
you know those kind where people write their particulars and poems and stuff.
but he refused to do it!!!
hmphh. what's his problem man.
couldn't get anything from him despite being classmates for 2 whole years.
but yeah, there he was cool and collected about the whole issue.
i seriously think that he was wayyy too matured for his age then.
his actions and speech say it all. haha.

yep. memories.
the first day he came to school...
since he was a transfer student, i only got to know him in pri 2.
i remember he went to the wrong class initially. haha.
i recall images of him being led down to corridor by mrs khoo.
then he was sitted there, and somehow i ended up sitting there too.
dragging my bright pink sailormoon bag and mickey mouse water bottle. haha.
and then it all started...

i wonder why.
heh.
i never expected to see him again after all these years.
i didn't think our paths would ever cross at all.
instead i was busying my thoughts with some other diversion (which somehow lasted for 6 years).
i wonder if it was then..

but now that we're seeing each other almost everyday.
we don't speak to each other at all.
i can't even look at him properly in the eye.
what has time done to us.
*shakes head*

there's the distance.
