Past, Chapter 1: First Impressions (Part 4)

Jasmine: National Shooter. Was real shocked when I found out coz she doesn't look like one at all. I always thought national players are da pai and arrogant (guess I'm stereotyping) but Jasmine is humble and a bit xiao nu ren. I'm not surprised by her Espirit glasses and Crumpler bag. Can't believe I have a celebrity classmate!

Gladys: Seriously I think her voice doesn't suit her. How should I put it? Well, if you just let me listen to her voice, I would not have imagined her appearance to be that of Gladys. Shall stop at that, don't wanna yue miao yue hei. She likes to exaggerate jokingly and hates it the most when people laugh at her.

Hwee Lin: If Amanda was number 1 in studies, she would probably be number 2, minus the excessive mugging. A person who cannot stop talking once a conversation has started, but sometimes what she says is food for thought.

Qian Hua: We sat at the same GP table. Songbird. Girls are normally good at singing but hers was a notch better. Her simple humming was kinda solid already. I am in awe. Potential superstar.

Kai Wei: Gives me the feeling that he wouldn't study until the last minute. For now, he focuses on other aspects of life. 4 years in a boys' school must have bored him so much that he got himself a girlfriend right after orientation. People say guys from boys' schools are pretty dirty-minded. That is the case for Kai Wei.

Tian Sheng: Do people from Swiss Cottage tend to slack a lot? I certainly see Tian Sheng possessing this trait. I do envy people like them-- to be able to slack but still get good grades when it mattered the most. He believes in understanding the concept rather than plain memorising. Way to go man!

Zen Hong: A linguistic guy who loves rock music. He's a decisive person who is clear of what he wants and stands firm (gives Swiss Cottage a better name). I like his jokes-- they are the ones that only people of certain educational level can understand, very high-class.

Charlie: I know Charlie the least because he's always sitting so far away. My impression of him is that he knows a lot of people. During breaks, when I sit close enough I would hear him talk about a different friend. Rather 'shameless' in praising himself. I didn't say it's a bad thing, don't think too much.

Arif: I always liked Malays for their active and humourous ways, Arif is no exception. With him around, your days will never get dull. He's extremely disciplined-- he never stays out late and spend excessively like some people do.

Jeremy: I always admired his physical and mental strength for as long as I can remember. He never seem to tire out even with such a busy schedule. Even more surprising is how a small physique like his can endure 6 years of outdoor activities. I guess a lot has got to do with his faith.

Nicholas: Some people say he's random, as in saying things unrelated to the conversation suddenly. Well, I say he's just straightforward. If he wants to express somthing, he will just say it rather than keep it to himself. He's a great guy, just undecisive at times.
