It's in Anglican High where:
- I soiled my first uniform because I puked out of carsickness while travelling in bus 17 to school on the first day - and was granted permission to skip the first day of school to clean up the mess.
- The first friend I made in Anglican High actually broke wind real loud in front of the whole class in just the 3rd day of school - and of course, it was a stink bomb.
- I was put into the 4th out of the 5 CCA choices I made - and so I joined the AHS Guitar Ensemble.
- I was the first person in history to bring frogs into the Guitar Room for "horrifying entertainment on the loose".
- I was the first person in history of the Guitar Ensemble to bring a live tortoise into the Guitar Room - and attracted a lot more attention whilst Mr Shi, the instructor, seemed to be insensitive to its presence.
- I became one of the four who got ostracized in class 2L'06 - but gave ample time for us four to bond with each other, being the "losers of the class".
- I became the "babe of the class" in class 3B-4B from '07 to '08 due to some joker trying to ruin my reputation in the new class - and the title stuck with me among my classmates to this very day.
- I became the smart-aleck in the class - getting the answers wrong most of the time.
- I attracted a lot of attention - both voluntarily and involuntarily.
- I was made fun of by my classmates because of a rumour spreading that mentioned about me being a potential FHM model - see (4) to know why.
- I was the butt of the joke in many places - like walking into the glass panel in public places, and playing guitar to an audience who wouldn't even bother whether there was music being made or not.
- I was St Bernard's irritant fly buzzing at his ears.
- I pushed myself to the limits and sat for the GCE O Level Examinations.
- I had to shit in my pants in the middle of a major O Level paper. I repeat - a MAJOR paper where if I didn't, I would lose time and not be able to finish the paper.
- I gradually learned to differentiate assholes from true friends, and to cherish the good ones.
- I learned major lessons on money management - many times, I overspent my pocket money on food in the school canteen alone, not to mention spending it on fast food.
- I learned that a loud voice isn't everything - anger doesn't accomplish anything at the end of the day but instead makes your blood boil faster.
There are just too many more things to list down about the stuff I did in the secondary school years, but there is just one thing that I can't deny - it is in Anglican High where I got to truly accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour.
