i'm getting worried about crescent.

not that i should, anyway.

not willing to part with the money i saved to acknowledge my alumni invitation.
[yes, i am a cheapskate.]
so i guess, i probably will not join the alumni until i stop being a cheapskate.

but here's the main point.

crescent has always been a funky place.
since i entered in sec one.

everyone took care of each other.
we were family.
we were comfortable with each other.

so much that we could just strip in class and walk around in our underwear and no other classmate would bother looking, since we lazy girls feel that it is way too much of a hassle to go walk up to the toilet and wait just to have privacy.

so screw privacy.

and we, the class of 2003, will no longer be here.

we, the class of 2003 who managed to "gain the respect of the seniors since sec 1", mainly because we were "cool".

we were the the first and only batch in crescent history to go under a "mass punishment". for "mass bullying".

which i, till today, don't understand why.

so what if the entire level "bullied" one girl?
we didn't hit her.
we didn't even touch her.

"boys bully using their fists. and it's the enemies who they do it to. girls go it by social exclusion, taunting, and literally making someone feel like a loser. and usually it is done by a friend. it is more of a psychological form of bullying. and the scars grow much deeper."

pfft.

the scars don't grow much deeper.
there weren't ANY scars.

and she might not have even found out, if the school did not investigate further into the matter.

she would have just thought that we were doing what we were pretending to do.

right?

but that's not the point.

we had our share of punishments.
but we pulled through.
always.

and maybe *some* teachers called us troublemakers.

the "conterversial batch".

so what if it was provocative?
we only did the lady marmalade dance one.

and thankfully, vsiah does not know about our "css" nickname in un.

otherwise i would probably be toast.

we are the batch that produced singapore's best goalkeeper. [june, i don't know whether you read this, but i'm proud of you girl. how many people can say they used to sit diagonally opposite singapore's best goalkeeper?]

but then, i am not exactly suprised since hockey has always been one of our finest.

the only batch that raised the highest amount of money for crescent history.

the only batch that could ooze attitude, and still manage to keep their grades.

we are not going to let the school down.
we have done our best.
we will make it.

and now, things have changed.

the sec 3s are becoming sec 4s.

not that i have anyhing against them personally, but somehow i don't know whether they will be able to keep the torch burning.

i am supposed to go back next year to train the new sec 4s, for the probably non-existent crezmun.

and choose the next captain.

the sec 3s, are either the really cool ones, the smart ones, or the ones that always manage to pull through.

unfortunately, i have this worry that the "really cool" ones, might not be able to pull through.

unlike how we did.

sure, we were wild, but we had some interest in our future.

and then the sec 1s and 2s.

who, frankly, have no hope at all.

crescent is probably going to turn into another geek girl school by 2006.
like rgs. or cedar.

at least scgs and tk have some form of life.

we will probably be the school that studies our butts off. win all the it competitions. get all the scholars.
