13 years ago,
i was a kindie, and i went to school every morning with a big, red ribbon tied to my hair.


12 years ago,
i was forced to put on the first rounded, golden-rimmed glasses on the bridge on my nose.


10 years ago,
i was in the same class as Lau Qin Jun, the genius. He had skipped classes from primary 3 to form 3, and the last time i've heard, he's in china doing maths.


7 years ago,
i had my first crush on WV. We went to the same tuition together, and that was how i got to know him.


6 years ago,
i befriended with my BFFs, Huey Ghee, Cheng Nee and Kai Lyn! Do you girls still recall the songs we sang in our class? The keropok we had in the canteen? The gossips we shared in the toilet?


5 years ago,
i had my second crush on EL. He was a senior, and i liked him because he texted me sweet messages.


4 years ago,
i fell real hard for someone i'd really like to forget. I was at my dumbest.


3 years ago,
i got 48 for add maths. And i remember my dad asking me quite innocently, '48 per 50?'


2 years ago,
i had a crush on TCS. He was the complete opposite of me. I was in the first class at school, and he was in the last. I went to the library during recess, and he went out of school to ponteng.


1 year ago,
I went for national service before having my pre-u studies in KMPh. And there in KMPh, i kinda adored a guy, G. He was nice and all, but it didn't work out.


Seconds ago,
i realize that in most circumstances, i find myself being a pessimist, but when it comes down to it, i'm an idealist through-and-through.

Note to self: settle not for second best
