-Yeah Yeah; Usher
-I Will; Namie Amuro
-Lion Heart; SMAP
-So Crazy; Namie AmuroAnd one of my favourites. How can anyone forget? Liu Xing Yu by F4 and Qing Fei De Yi by Harlem Yu. Haha. Listening to Maroon 5 now. It brings back such great memories. I remember how Dari and I would take Jevan's Creative MuVo and play She Will be Loved by Maroon 5 and start singing loudly at the top of our voices. We probably irritated the hell out of our classmates, but they never complained. Lovelies! Haha. Or how we'd sing This Love acapella, and then dance in the classroom. When prom was approaching, we bought the Prom issue from Seventeen and dug out old Prom issues and pored over dresses, makeup, hairstyles and accessories. We went online and searched for our dream dresses. Haha. We even planned the type of dance we'd do during Prom.
Tap on my window, knock on my door. I wanna make you feel beautiful...So many lovely memories. And I know that I can never relieve those days again. I know we have to move on, but don't you just think it is sad, how once a moment is gone, it's forever gone? You can never recapture the same atmosphere, the same emotions...
We sat in the dimly-lit classroom, listening to Mdm Wee explain KOTC while only half the class listened. The rest of us were eating sweets, passing covert notes, some of the guys reading FHM... And we couldn't wait for lessons to end so that we could go home, or play soccer/basketball, or run down to the canteen and eat. During night lessons, we looked forward to breaks where we run out of the side gate and buy bubble tea. Or before dance practices, we'd go to Uncle Louis and eat chicken rice with hair inside. We couldn't wait for O levels to be over. We couldn't wait to get out of Dunman. We couldn't wait to grow up and stop having to attend boring lessons.
But now, all we want is to be like Peter Pan, and never have to grow up. Yet... if we hadn't left our secondary schools, would we have been able to reminsce about the past? I think that there's always that child in everyone who refuses to grow up, who refuses to move on. Today that child in me is feeling particularly nostalgic.
Okay lah, haven't bathed + study for Econs.
