...I'm meeting up with Yin Ping later today!!
This gal is my bestie in high school. Knew her since form 1. She came in 2 weeks later than other students. Very quiet gal (at least that's what i thought), with big specs and cute hair style. Looked like Tweetie Bird.
As we were in different class, we met only during Moral class. However, as we non-Malay students are the minority in school, we tend to stay closer to one another. During Form 1 to Form 3, the time we learned to know each other more, and spent most time with, was after school. As those three years we're in afternoon session, we ended school at 6.45pm. Both our parents usually came kinda late to pick us up (earliest would be around 7pm), and our friends usually leave for home earlier than us, we had that time to chat. We shared our day's funny stuff, discussed studies, or just chat for fun. We used to guess whose parents would reach earlier just for fun.
Form 4, we were in the same class. That year was fun for me, as i get to be with quite a number of friends that were not in same class before. But of course at the same time, some of my ex-classmates were not in same class with me. Anyhow, this year was fun. With the new, young, male chemistry teacher (who coincidently have the same surname as me), and with his strong mandarin-accent english, we laughed at him, but at the same time, we looked for him to ask detailed questions. Other students laughed at him so badly, and they went tuition for chemistry, so they already learned things during tuition. Yin Ping and I did not attend any tuition for chemistry, hence we would get to school early (as usual), and meet the teacher in staff room to ask questions. This happened almost every week. We got closer with the teacher, and it was nice and fun to have "free tuition".
However, a problem popped up. As our school's a girls' school, and there were some teachers that were not so open minded, they thought it is inappropriate for school girls to be close with male teachers, especially YOUNG, SINGLE, MALE teacher. Luckily, we managed to prove ourselves clear.
Our friendship grew stronger as years passed. Attended same tuition classes during Form 6, both being one of the few Form 6 prefects, we were like twins. Went for trip with our chemistry teacher (yes, the same male teacher) for competition, struggled to remember the details for "our project", went to the beach near-by, and played sand!! Those were the days back in school.
After STPM, we hardly meet each other. I went to work as a temporary teacher in a chinese primary school, and that made us even harder to meet up. If I remember correctly, the only time we met was when we went to collect our STPM results. After that, another once in City Square which we happened to be there coincidently, and chatted for like 5 minutes? Since then, we never see each other.
I'm so excited to see her again later!! 3 long years, lots of story to tell. But kinda worried too. Will we feel awkward and have nothing much to say? Or am I worrying too much? We'll know later. Will definitely take pictures with her!
I'm sooooooo happy and excited!!
