Well, its finally over. My 4 years as a Nan Hua student. The quintessence of my life as a teenager. Here's my End-Of-Secondary-School Life Post.
Secondary 1Entered NHSS reluctantly... only Wei Siang, Goh Jia Hao, Ode Kakeru, Mak Jun Ling, Li Ju, Tan Shin were the people I knew. ( all from PEPS )
Came across a dad who introduced me to Earnest, a tall well-spoken guy who was described as hot-tempered by him... I din really socialise with the basketball people cos of several basketball incidents in primary school... That I shall not explain here... Was rather apalled by the size of the school... There were 2 halls and canteens! Yar... Campus 1 was indeed abit creepy... With all the ghost stories and such... Shall touch upon those later...
First day of school... Met my form teacher, Mr Thomas... Name tags were handed out and I had the dejavu of being a kindergarden school student again... lols... My Co- Form, Mr Tan ( Not Peter Tan but someone else who left the school later on...)
Ok time to tell the story of how i got into NHDS again...
I was in e music room wif the class... When Ms Yeo called up those who did not have a CCA yet... I din choose NCC or NPCC cos I somehow din want to stand in the sun like some statue all day long... lol! Ms Yeo gave me 2 choices... Chinese Orchestra and NHDS... SHe den proceeded to say that DS was a better choice and stuff... Goodwin, my other classmate who chose dance, claimed that it was a good choice... COs he was joining as well... Harry on the other hand was apparently chosen for his height... by Mrs Wong of cos... lol! K so i chose dance... My mind had flashes of make-up and crazy chinese dances... wondered if i made the right choice...
My first gym practice was very nifty... Da Sam and Darryl were there... I can still remember... When it was my turn to do the very first "forward-roll" of my life, I panicked cos i had no idea how to do that! ( okay tt the mother of all basics, but i was a total noob u see...) SO i embarassed and made a total fool out of myself... Darryl n Sam taught me patiently....hahas! thks guys! Lol... Finally did it! LOL!!! Cartwheels n such were also scary to me , the total noob... lols... The teacher, who apparently looked more like a bodybuider than a gymnastics teacher to me, was an epicurean! LOL... recalls the time he played table tennis wif the table tennis CCA as we did our practices...
Hmmm. Then came the stamina training part at e end of lessons... Had to pump like mad, run like hell, and strange workouts like "superman" and the leg lifts... Still recall the teacher trying to motivate us by telling us its for our own good n stuff like that... :)
Yesh. My first Mr LOw lesson was indeed memorable... Shouts of " Wo men shi nan ren! " and stuff like that rang out throughout the school... OF cos, many of us were still not attuned to the style of teaching... :P The intense pain of ya-tui-ing and stuff like splits really really stayed in the heads of the sec1s... ( guys lar!)
Cultural pot... did wushu...
Guess that's all for Sec1...

SECONDARY 2My most memorable year? Probably The innovative class dance was cheoreographed in this year... XIAO WAN PI!!!! OKay. Basically NHDS was split into 2 groups... Da Bian and Xiao Wan Pi... Newater n the innovative class... for SYF u see... WEnt thru alot of head twisting ( OUCH! ) and knee banging... hahas.... still remember vividly the day MR LOw went really angry n threw a shoe at KAi Sheng.... Its really a hard job as a cheoreographer... Mr Low will really stay as the most respected teacher in my entire secondary school life... Could also recall the day he took his bag n left the hall in a fit of anger due to our slow n hesitant responses to his instructions...
SYF opening... The banner failed to fall when Wei Hong pulled it during the opening... everyone cried like mad.... really.... was the sadest point of the 4 years... all the hard work wasted... but thank goodness there was still the central judging... Central judging was a great success... We cried again, but tears of joy came out dis time... ( however i was very annoyed wif some other school's dancers who said," Better take care of ur props this time... muhahaha..." ) I shall be nice n not mention which school made tt comment. Basically, wo xiao wan pi, i wun be who i am today. Be4 that, I was a total freak who din even dare to step on grass with shoes on in fear of bugs n mud... now i remember myself sitting barefooted on a field infested wif insects and millipedes and centipedes and snapping turtles... ( recall a post long ago...)
Hmmm. Streaming... Got in to triple science + elect goeg... nothing to worry abt i suppose... just a minor shift of route....
