Hey there! I know i haven't been updating much, but school's been a chore and my assignments are just piling up by the day. Literally can't wait till my next holidays which shall be in about a month's time (thank god). Since its friday, school shall cease to exist in my head temporarily.
So on my way home today, i thought about my secondary school days (could be because i read my old diary entries a few nights ago). How i used to struggle with Amath, how i used to sleep in Chinese lessons and sometimes even in Emath lessons with Mrs Ong's voice ringing in my ears constantly pointing Jazreel and I out to be called "the sleeping beauties" but we'd continue to sleep anyways.
We've all done a whole load of crap in secondary school whether we acknowledge it or not. The times when that cute guy/girl in the class next door was our only motivation to go to school everyday or how us girls have to unfold our skirts whenever there was an attire check. Everyone would only have one thing on their mind: Recess. Once recess is over, it'll automatically change to: end of school. Maybe not everyone, but i was sure one of them. Recess was one of the best times of the day it meant getting to eat at my favourite noodle stall (I miss uncle's noodles with every passing day). Secondary school was also the time in our lives where we'd make the worst decisions or maybe to the more mature kiddos out there, not so much.
Not forgetting to mention, the 'puppy love' period. Everyone would have a crush and it was always exciting to know who this person was crushing on or who that person was crushing on. Secondary 1 Rachel then decided to start writing in a diary (might be one of her best decisions back then).
I was just looking through my old diary entries a few days back and guess what, i found a page which i named the 'likes' page. There was a whole list of people's names and who they fancied at that time. Some which i had totally forgotten existed. I was actually quite informed about these facts back then (horrible girl). You'll never know, you right now, reading this blog post, you might just be one of those names that made it in that list. Not only those small little crushes, but those secondary school love birds too. It kinda went like this: ______ likes _______ and even _________ stead ________ and the list goes on. Yeah remember that word? Going steady, was what it was called back then HAHA. Whenever someone changed their person of interest, i'd even update their little line. (Wonderful things i did when i was supposed to be studying aye?)
Nonetheless, i am really thankful i started writing in my diary. Now, i can already look back and laugh at my idiocy back then. Just Imagine 25 year old Rachel.. Oh the horror.
This post is getting a little too long so i guess i'm just going to end it here. Till next time! Oh and i'm thinking of doing another Q&A so do feel free to drop me a question here :
Ask rachellueee!
Much love,
Rach xoxo
