#30 things

#2 my alma mater was ACJC and my time there was nothing short of wicked

In 14 points, let me explain why I had such a wickedly good time there.
As I relate the next few sentences, always have No. 1 at the back of your mind.

1) I was the chairperson of my class for 2 consecutive years, how I pulled through, I have no idea.

No I don't usually live for leadership roles. I'd very much prefer to be the girl who minds her own business, and better yet, blend into the wall paper. It was nothing more than a popularity vote because the previous chairperson had to step down from his role to undertake the position of a councilor. Defying authority and being in trouble without being caught was the highlight of my time spent there, all the more because I had greater responsibility (hey, don't judge. We all have that streak of rebellion in us)

2) I climbed the school's back gate every now and then when I was late for school or was simply too lazy to make a detour to the front gate.

3)My dad would send my mum before myself to school. So every morning, at the risk of going for assembly late and having to face detention, I run from the gate to the hall. Which was a good 3 minutes run.

4) I fled from the discipline master because he insisted my skirt was too short.

5) I bumped into him after fleeing from him and when he confronted me, he told me the canteen wasn't that big afterall. What are the chances.

6) I got into trouble for blogging about him and was called into his office. I had to write a one page letter to show my remorse. Yes, this very blog.

7) My classmates and I, we set fire to the basin during chemistry lab lessons. All in the name of, learning Chemistry.

8)Remember there was a 'fight club' where a group of students gathered under a void deck and fought for fun while others just watched? A group of us got into serious trouble for participating, even as witness. And there was so much tension lingering in the air as one by one, we watched classmates getting called into the principal's office. Some got expelled, while others got revoked of leadership titles they held.

9) The camaderie we possessed during those intercollege netball matches or rugby and water polo games whenever we were up against Raffles.

10)My then best friend would always punk me when I was studying with my friends by secretly stealing my bag (I know right) and running away to class with it. Once, I was actually sitting on the seat and he managed to steal it without me knowing. Said best friend would dangle my bag from the second floor as I demand it back from him.

11) Running out of the lifts on forbidden floors (we were only allowed to enter/ exit the lifts on the 1st and 5th floors) out of teachers' sight.

12) Being forced to do swim PE. And my PE teacher? Rumour has it that she'd make sure you provide hard evidence if you said you were having your period

13) And who would have forgotten, those short 40 minutes Mass PE sessions which seriously felt like a prelude to Basic Military Training. On the up side, Mass PE always involved several classes coming together and it was always a get-together-and-suffer-together session with friends from other classes.

14) But best of all, I came to know Christ in this school.
