Time truly flies. I look back and realise that it had already been 5 years since I first stepped through Gate 2 of St. Francis Institution, the greatest school in Malacca. 5 years since 1 first saw a tall, bald and ugly robed man walking the corridors with his head held high. 5 years since I first doned the white prefect's uniform. And 5 years since 1 first met the bunch of crazy people studying in SFI.
I remember thinking to myself when I was still an innocent Form 1 boy, " When will From 5 come and go?" and now, I'm sitting here in front of my comp, at 17 years of age, blogging about how the 5 years have just passed so fast. And sitting here, i begin to remise about those years........
Form 1H 2005
It all began when I first entered the class of 1H. I was a foriegner in a strange land. A chinese school student entering the class of students from SFI primary, but i was not alone. There were about 15 of us from Chinese Schools who chose to enroll ourselves in the great school of SFI. As the Chinese speaking,(but equally pro at English) crowd, we took the back seats. I sat next to Shimri who sat next to Joel Chua. Behind me was Ivan, Siong Wai, and Kenny. In front, Mohvilan, Hariharran, and Devnath.
It was that very year that we began to mix around with all 3 races of Malaysia. There is nothing much to say about Form 1 cause we were still raw freshmen, but here are some interesting facts.
1) The pharse "Jo Ray arr!!" began in 1H
2) The total disipline cases recorded by 1H that year was 7. The highest recorded by any Form 1 class.
3) Lim Shimri broke 4 chairs.
4) We found out that Teo had a very BIG head. Called him "tua tao" ever since.
5) My nickname "Big Bird" was founded by Cirel when I was doing my probationary prefect duty.
6) Someone whacked Jo Ray
Form 2H 2006
The most memorable thing about Form 2 was definantly Kedongdong. It was that year that we 1st met 3 of the most interesting teachers of SFI. Mr. Ngor Tee Boon, Bro. Micheal Kum, and Mr. Wong Leon Kit. Each has his own story, Mr. Ngor and his Kedongdongs, BMK and his "I graduated from the University of Manchester" and Mr. Wong and his non-existant eyebrows. The drama between BMK and Mr. Ngor was so intense that it was so hystericaly funny. And there was also the story of the trainee teacher......
Form 2 was also the 1st time we joined an event as a class. The class of 2H was chosen to represent SFI in the coral speaking competition. We were trained by BMK and the trainne teacher and with Augustin as our conductor, went to compete in the competition held at Dog.... High School. Well we may have lost, but it was one of the 1st memories we had as a class. It was also when we started appreciating SFI's toilet....
Other facts of 2H 2006 :
1) Adair "fart machine" Teow joined us.
2) Gan Chong Yee was class monitor and left us at the end of the year.
3) Lim Shimri broke 2 chairs. (An improvement?)
4) "Jo Ray arr!!" was shouted the most.
5) We produced 3 very obseen and creative essays that were sadly confisticated by BMK.
6) Someone whacked Jo Ray
Form 3H 2007
PMR year.... So sien...Study study study... Not much that can be said, except that me and a few friends attended the 6th Melaka Jamboree that year. It was at the Jamboree that I discovered that Goh can drink around 5 cups of juice in 30 minutes, where we had a competion to see who can get the most contact information from other scouts, and also when two people apparently bathed naked in front of each other....
Oh yeah, Transformers came out in 07 and for some time all we were taking about was how Bumblebee was so cool... and for some reason or another one of the invigilators of our PMR was so fat that it was amusing for us watching him climbimg up the stairs to our exam hall....
The fun started after PMR. After PMR it was all outings and movie-ing and ponteng-ing and cs-ing and dota-ing and battlefield-ing and movie-ing and eating and playing and............tahts about it...
Other interesting facts :
1) The term "Majinbuu" was founded in 3H
2) The letters MJB was sprayed on the back wall of 3H with clear laquer.
3) Stacey Geoffery Tay Jun Wei left us for Singapore.
4) Someone whacked Jo Ray.
Form 4P 2008
We were streamed to 2 science classes equally. So half of 3H went to 4H and another half to 4P. However, 4P rocked!! the amount of nonsense things we did were unthinkable.
1) Insulted our Add Maths teacher so much until she quit teaching our class.
2) The whole class got sent to the principal's office for playing with matches.
3) Played with the ethanoic acid bottles in the Chemistry lab until the whole lab was filled with fumes.
4) Burnt people's backsides with bunsen burners.
5) Witnessed a death.
6) Andre destroyed the Chemistry Lab tap.
7) Turned the Class Magazine plans into a failure
8) Gay earless Heng Kuang Yang joined us.
9) Someone whacked Jo Ray
Then there are also the other things that was done during 2007
1) Team V-Thrust and Team The Nitrates of the F1 in Schools Technology Challenge came from 4P. During the duration of the Competition there was plenty of friction between the two teams.
2) The form 4 scouts of 4H and 4P organised the Scout Orintation Camp 2008, where we made the Form 1's pee in their pants, thanks to the Oscar winning performance by our troop leader.
3) Me, Goh, Joel and Daniel went for our 1st cycling expedition to Hutan Rekreasi.
4) Leroy Yeow was made Head Prefect and Head Editor.
5) I puncured my left lung.
6) Kin Mun, Adair, Gin Shen, Daniel Chia, Eric and me joined the National Robotics Competition.
7) The Form 4 scouts organised the Scout Troop Camp 2009.
8) Someone whacked Jo Ray again.
Form 5H 2009
Many many many things happened in 5H. For starters, there was the debate between 5H and 5P, which turned out to be a stand up comedy show.
Then there was Sports Day,
5H very own sunglasses wearing flag bearers
getting ready for the march pass
And Teachers Day,
5H group pic in honour of Joel (our dynamic monitor)'s birthday
And Prefect's Farewell Dinner,
This is AFTER we entered the pool
And Prefect's Installation,

And Canteen Day,
Something is not right with this pic.... I think its a certain white robed man..
And bald people (refering to both top and bottom pics),
And gay people,
And Mr. Ong's Retierment Ceremony,
And SPM.
Well SPM came and went and we didn't see each other for quite a long time. Until I recieved a message "The 5H Farewell Class Party will be held on 28th December 2009" What can i say? I grabbed my camera and headed to the party!!
It was a BBQ party. We had spent the whole day getting the stuff ready, but it was worth it. And since it was a poolside party, we all ended up getting wet.
The juicy wings which took forever to cook....
Chilling and waiting for the forever chicken wings to cook
The Men In Black
Donovan, Eric, Jia Sheen, Jason, Ah Poh
Chong and Poh
And its Joel being.........Joel
The party ended with a splash. This party will probally be the last time I will see all of my clasmates together for maybe a year or so. Most of us will be going to KL to further our studies, some KTJ, some taylors, Sunway, INTI, some will be staying for Form 6. We will all be going our our seperate ways, but I will always cherish the memories that we had together. 5H!!!
WATCH THIS VIDEO!!!
And now as 2009 comes to end, I hope that we will all stay in touch and always remember all the times we had together.
Oh, and someone whacked Jo Ray.
SFI was one of the best times of my life!
