♥ Xinting
20th October '89

My contacts are crazy on me again.
While searching for my contacts, I found my name tag.
Yes, a name tag which has a needle at the back and goes with the uniform.
It IS part of the uniform.
This brought up some memories.

There was once where I was chatting on the phone with my friend "J". She asked me why did we have to wear a name tag. At first I found it ridiculous that we had to wear one everyday.
Soon, I found out that some teachers get to know their 'elite' students by looking at their name tags for the first few times. Thereafter, when they remember you, they're veyr nice to you. And some even make you leaders in certain areas. So secretly I was hoping that some teacher would look at me and say "Xinting, You've done very well. I'm going to make you chairman of the PSLs." Why not the counsellers some might ask. Because I didn't like the way the students refered to the counsellers as teacher's pets. Anyway, as time passed, I realised that the name tag was very useful. We used to it cut paper, open potato chip packets, vandalise the table, decorate our bags, and the seniors made 20 of their names to exchange with friends as graduation gifts.

Day after day, more exicting things were done with the help of the nametag but my secret dream ha still not come true. I wasn't giving up on it because I knew I was a leader. I wanted to be spotted. I wanted people to know I had the potenial. I HAD WHAT IT TAKES!

Finally one day, I walked pass the Principal. I decided that I should walk very confidently with the stack of books I had on my hands( it shows that I was a good student you know, carrying books for teachers and stuff). I looked at her and realised she was looking at me the way I was looking at her. I was pretty much sure that something good was going to happen. My dream is going to come true in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 seconds. My heart was pounding.

"Xinting" she called.
I thought to myself, YES!~
It's my turn to be able to speak on stage infront of everyone!
It's my pround moment!
I turned slowly and said "yes" proudly as though I was already the chairman waiting to hand in a proposal titled 'improving the school'.
I'm going crazy.
She opened her mouth slowly. (as i smiled)
"Pull up your socks or I'll send you for detention! Ankle socks are not allowed in my school."
My heart sank with embarassment.
All my dreams were gone.
Everyone was looking at me.

What an embarassing moment.

Ok, enough of school.
New year's eve was a blast.
Very busy lately, I'm never at home.
I don't want to be at home.
Alvin's cutie admirer came asking for his contact(s). (ok, not her. her friends)
What a suprise for the first day of school.
Anymore to come?
