School •
Went unpacking at the newly reconstructed Cedar Avenue campus today. I have got to say that the school is just gorgeous. I was definitely in awe as I walked into the building that looked pretty much like a country club. It’s so posh like whoa. I am most definitely dragging my cousin to the Open House next weekend; hopefully Cedar will be a better place for her than it is for me. I’m convincing myself that the Geylang campus was just a bad omen in general; Secondary 2 and 3 sucked really bad for me. But I felt a wave of excitement and energy when I stepped into the new school. I’m going to stay back everyday to study in that awesome campus. I don’t care if I end up being like some nerd. At least I’ll be a nerd in a posh institution, hm? I’m gonna make the best of the new old campus, and ace my O Levels. -Pumps fist in the air-
Although I must say the compass on the foyer is ugly. It totally should have been Izah’s art piece. D<
I’m definitely looking forward to going to school now, a different feeling than what I’ve been going through for some time now. The Geylang Bahru compass is pretty crappy; it’s tiny, forever dusty and just old. Sure, the canteen’s near the classroom – but hah, the Cedar campus has a shelter connecting the canteen to the classroom blocks. So beat that, muddy grass Geylang.
Oh. The temporary band room sucks too. Because it’s puny and I don’t see how 90 students with instruments are going to squeeze into that 1 1/20 room. Psh.
Walking home was nice; it almost felt like walking down memory lane. I traced my route again as I walked alone. Zebra crossing, then the house with the big, scary dog (I’ve learnt 3 years ago to not walk near the gate). Afterwards it’s the house with the yellow Porsche, followed by some house that always has movie props piled up outside. A couple more houses down the street, there’s a right bend, an indication I’m halfway to the bus stop already. There’s a house on the right of the street with three dogs that never makes a single sound, it’s amazing. I saw something new then; two new houses on the street. But apart from that, still the same rat-infested corner before the bus stop’s in sight. Smiled on the way home, recalling my Secondary 1 days.
Maybe I’ll share those days next year with my cousin? (:
Like I said, hopefully Cedar’s a better place for her than
