i just told them to go ahead throw out my rj uniforms three weeks ago, and now 1b is having a nostalgia themed class party and julia's going to wear her arts fac tshirt and i haven't even a pe shirt with "raffles" on the back left to wear. i ran downstairs and asked our maid if they might still be around; she said, aiyoh, sell to karang guni already lah. argh! erm. no badge either; i pinned it to my pencil case when i was in virginia, and it fell off one day in my third year. *defensively* i have my tie though. uniforms are just - cloth - but a school tie is a school tie, yes? (this is getting a little like su-lin and fitzie and the flag/ndp shirt issue)

anyway, i think shall wear green and white, and tie my hair into cheena school girl braids, with green black and white ribbons. (you might as well go all the way) i'm also wondering if i should ask my aunt to make a complicated cake for the party. (su-lin: no such thing. cakes are NOT complicated.) she'll oblige, i'm sure, only she lives in changi and the party's at usha's, off bukit timah. perhaps i should persuade su-lin to make a cake instead and then i can cross over to usha's. ahem.

ohoh i am getting very excited about this 1b party. there has been masses of class mails pouring in these last three days, and alfoo has even offered to chauffeur people in from bukit timah road bus stops. i miss ao1b. our collective scatterbrained but well-meaning enthusiasm in everything and our unabashedly maudlin solidarity. (and peevish, self-congratulatory dislike of 1a which evans loved to fan. heehee. remember the chinese new year email war between the classes? and how kuotong said that 3a could just come into our classroom and write 1b sux and sit back and watch the murder and mayhem?.) and all the themed party we used to have. wasn't there one at puaylim's house - the theme was drama/movies and joyce was ophelia and addy was suzy wong, dorcas was the scarecrow from wizard of oz and puaylim got the boys together and choreographed a striptease because their movie was the full monty? oh oh oh! i do miss 1b. *beam*
