Tobie’s Meme

I was the baby you loved so dearly. You took 5 years just to make me. I brought you joy when you first held me in your arms. I was the mischievous one whom you couldn’t really understand what I was doing most of the time.

Many a times I got injured and you showered me with tender loving care. You were the one who sat beside me during the long flights to Indonesia and you were the one who bought the green dinosaur soft toy that I still keep. When I was in a coma, you took leave just to massage my hands and feet that I may walk when i recover.

In primary school, I got third for primary one and that made you proud. But after that I didn’t manage to get any prizes. Hope I didn’t get u angry as well. In primary six, I passed my PSLE and got an aggregate of 228 and you were happy.

I didn’t get into the first choice of secondary schools but I managed to get into the second choice, Geylang Methodist Secondary School. It was there where I got to meet you, my good and my best friends. It was you whom helped me get into the Prefectorial board. Thanks a million.

You, my best friend, whom I met in class within the project work group, and who was in the same Co-Curricular Activity (CCA) as me, helped me skip many trainings by giving excuses for me (I was really skipping trainings at that time, BUT for a good reason).

It was very cool when I was there to see you play for the SRC softball carnival in 2004. Where you helped to clinch the 4^th prize for us. It was really fun. That year, it seemed as if it was the longest to me.

Remember where I had to go to a different class at the end of the year? Oh man, I was overjoyed, wonder what about you? However, our friendship still lasts. I still meet you during practice and that seemed like the only time we get to talk besides lunch after school.

Being with you for more than one year has been a great experience. Especially where some of you love to joke a lot about other classmates (including me). Went through thick and thin as a class, had many different encounters with teachers together. I really love the moments we had together.
