Reminiscence - Part1D

1998 BPGHS Secondary 106:

As i was searching through my wardrobe, i stumbled upon this very 'aged' jersey.
Somehow it elicits the emotions in me and i was triggered to write the final part of our secondary 1 accounts.

~The First Jersey~

The jersey above was discovered in one of the compartments of my wardrobe, possibly discarded and abandoned for ages at the bottom of the compartment. Sounds more like a fossil entombed in my wardrobe, this ancient artifact has been buried for close to 10 years! Its existence was dated back to 1998, where we marked our inaugural chase for the inter-class soccer tournament.
It was our very first team jersey
- Blackburn Rovers.
The jersey was bought from a night market at Choa Chu Kang. As we were not able to afford the genuine stuff, we had to settle for imitation. But why a Blackburn Rovers jersey? That's simply because there were no Rovers supporters in our class team. We have Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Newcastle supporters all over our team, therefore to avert any arguments, it was a wise choice.

~Inter-class Soccer~
Our soccer campaign kicked off with great intensity and zeal. Everyone was anticipating a great start to the tournament.
The preliminaries consisted of 2 groups.
Our group consisted of class 1A, 102 and 107.
We beat 102 1-0, drew with 107 1-1, and lost to 1A (not sure about the score).
Sad to say, we did not made it through the group stages.
We will be back next season!

* I recalled Siong Chie scored a goal against 102. My goal-bound shot was on its way in, but he pounced onto it and slot the ball into the net, with much ease. A classic example of FOX - in- the box!
{But FOX + PIG = THOMAS, unfortunately he is just a PIG away from being THOMAS.
" jibye eat until so big like a pig still play dis type of childish thing.. " (Quote from: http://siongchie.blogspot.com/, Thursday, September 6, 2007, 12:18 AM, paragraph 2, line 7.)}

~Runaway Schoolboy~
This account was a rather short one.
It happened during one of our english lesson.
For some reason, there was this uppersecondary student trying to clamber the school fence just outside our classroom. Obviously trying to skip school.
But before he could accomplish his remarkable feat, he was duly spotted by Gimson.
Gimson reported the incident to our teacher Miss Ng.
She was quick to react to the incident and the student was subdued in a matter of time.
The student's fate was sealed when he was turned over to our discipline master.

~The Film Container Saga~
I shall not elaborate on this particular incident in order to protect the privacy of some personnel involved. The title speaks for itself. And i am sure many of the readers know what i mean.

Secondary 1 was the year when things were still at its build-up state, or we can say adaptation. It was the time when individual personalities started to unfold, where various small groups were established within the class. Turmoils were inevitable. We often had strifes and a little bit of hassles here and there which i did not mention. Ultimately, we were just a bunch of raunchy and mischievious kids trying to break free into the realm of the earthy world.
No doubt our nonsense will continue and there are more to come in subsequent years, so there won't be any shortfall of "entertainments". Wilfulness is our mastery, but every teacher's nightmare!
It is our trait!

Stay tuned for more drama in secondary 2...
