Do you know what it feels like after 7 years+, you bestest friend added you on Fb? To me, it felt really extraordinary, extra special. Those 7 years of my life went missing, no point looking what had been passed, right?
He's name is Aliff Taslin. We've been best friends from P1 to P3, until he had to move. Till then, I felt unmoved, nobody can replace him. For the moment he left, I had difficulties adapting the new environment on my own. He always had me accompanied to the Staff Room or the Bathroom, at least someone had to do the job. We always went recess together, buying the fishball that costs 10 cents, then we dipped it into the sambal. Yum!
I used to remember I was terrified to eat during recess because of Mr Mos. He seemed fierce, but wasn't scary at all. He always asks one to stand up and point out the "ugly" side of one. That's really mean. There's one point of time he asked me to stand up and he compliment me. I quote " You see that girl, she has a broad shoulder. That girl is also pretty if she looses some weight. Okay, okay. See that teacher, very slim one. She has broad shoulders too. So, girl, if you can be like that teacher, you are out of TAF." Mr Mos, too, had a huge mole on his face. Haha, that wasn't a point.
One morning, both of us and the rest of the TAF members had to run in the muddy field every morning. It was cooling and refreshing, the grass were covered with dew, making my shoes muddy while it can. While I was running my last lap, I had an extremely painful gastric. He said to me, "If you finish this round, maybe the pain will recover." So I run as fast as I could, and to my amaze it really disappeared.
When it was P3, we used to joke around in class, laughing at the teacher's appearance. I'll tell you, it's hilarious. This female teacher teaches me English. Her eyes were baggy and her mouth were stretched widely whenever she tried to talk. Imagine your lips were stretched as far as they could go, making your lips go elastic. That how it was, plus this teacher puts on bright red lipstick to school which I think it was inappropriate. It was overly done, and sometimes you can see hints of pale red smudges.
He had this funny face he always scares me with, till I hid in the Girls Bathroom. Like that, he cannot scare me anymore.
Oh gee, I missed the old days where times is limitless, don't you? :)
