listening to my younger sister talk about her graduation, it made me realise that wow. it has been three years since graduation. i guess, while many people feel that secondary school is just another part and parcel of their life, the days in unity meant alot to me. with that, i digged out the old CDs of the yearly e-magazines that we had, until mr nathan left and we had a change of principal. haha=) watching the videos, i found myself smiling and laughing at the little memories that came back to mind.
1. the awkwardness of sitting through the video tapings of the class videos (i tied two pigtails hairstyle in sec one and my centre parting is just *faints*=.=)
2. the embarrassing lousy acting skills of mine in the redcross video where i pretended to be a casualty. HAHA and i rmb having a slight crush on the senior who carried me because i thought he was quite cool! ohmy=X
3. MARK SINGING Avril Lagvine's 'I'm with you' in the school carnival which WOW-ed everyone. =)))
4. NATIONAL DAY PARADE. lol. always the highlight of the year for uniformed groups. how all the UGs would go crazy on that day, screaming and dancing in our full-u.=)
5. school carnival! hahas=) towel puppies, second-hand items.
6. basketball matches=)
7. The banners that flood our corridoors.
8. COHORT PHOTO! hahas=) every year when mr nathan was still arnd, we had to take a cohort photo! sooo we had to queue up from the shortest in the cohort to the tallest. (and im not very short in the cohort okay! =D) HAHA and in sec three when jeremiah joined, he was the highlight! he was too tall (2.04m) so they made him stand a few rows lower so that he could fit into the frame.
how fun those school days were=) hearing marilyn share about how everything is like now, i personally feel that the school has lost the heritage that mr nathan created. and though we used to dread those "eagle-chicken" talk in the mornings, but im sure it impacted us somehow. His
"do it once, do it well, and move on."
"sometimes we chepat jalan, at times we hentak kaki. but most importantly, we should always maju, but never ke-belakang pusing"
"there are four kinds of people in the world. people who know what they know. people who know what they don't know. people who don't know what they know. But the most atrocious is people who don't know what they don't know. we should never fall into that category."
"unitians, look at the banner over there *points to a banner and the whole school turns* 'I believe I can fly.' ...."
ahh now im starting to miss mr nathan. yah=) i think im a loyal fan of his. I mean, how many principal actually listens to the student's voices? ankle socks, handphones. we wanted it and he trusted the students and gave it to us. how many principal goes back to sch on a weekend in singlet,shorts and slippers to water the school plants. and i rmb how he drove down to school late one night to open the gate for us after our dance performance. hahas=)
and that is why, unity back then, is not just like any other neighbourhood school la=)
units.unitians.=)
