Form 1G / 1999 was one of those crazy years. We spent 75% of the year skipping class for the SEA Games held in Brunei. I think this SEA Games experience was very pivotal in the moulding of my life, it truly is! I was the bee in one of the opening/closing dance.

Lets start from front row: We’ve got Fathima, Effa, and GODZILLA (good times…), Dee Kay Hafizah, and of course, Rachel Ong. We’re led by Mrs. Lily Tan, my dad’s uni coursemate’s wife from Muar! And next to her is of course, yours truly. Next to me is Aizul.. the dude who intro-ed me Eminem and Manchester United (ah, roughly this time as well!) then its Julian Tan (Doctor at Monash?), Randy Lim (pro photographer in Canada limages.ca) and lastly Leosofie.

Middle row sees Jared, Joshua Lew (Tifosi from BACK THEN, true fan), Hamzah (the only smoker in lower Secondary.. hes the TREND setter!!!), Salam (ustaz’s son) Johanna (pic uploader, close friend), Audrey (Hakkinen, Mc Laren fan! Very calm person, mum makes nice moon cakes), Yeh Sie (doing well in the UK), Suzanne (dentist in India), Junie (just reconnected recently, also in UK), Eve Lim, Muizzah and Alice Chai (super duper smart girl).

Back row we have Zamali, Chen Ee Loong who really know how to tackle the ladies back then in familiar interesting ways, Aziman (the Yap equivalent, funny humor guy). then its John Gatchalian, the Pinoy from Manila… bebot bebot!!! The tall dude is Jonathan Chen, Bomfunk MC FREESTYLER! FTW, next is his sidekick Nicholas Lim KHAI wei very open about his sexual fantasies and adventures, then its Arifin whose mum makes the BEST speghetti ever.. very very nice. In form 3, when he decided his future path to join the millitary, he told us, “You know counter-strike.. where you go shoot people. Yeah, I will be shooting people in real life!”. I think we watched Season 7 of Friends together at a party at his house. Whoa.. good times. Far right is Chee Peng (?) Not sure.. too blurry.

One person missing that day was Adeline Chong.

This class for 1G/1999 was an interesting period. We just got the internet.. and.. IRC and stuff. We created the IRC channel on Undernet, #2g2k and #3g2k1 … but #2g2k was the more popular one lah. We had computer studies back then… we were learning Windows 95 and how to use basics stuff. Well, its better than Accounting right? So what would you have chosen?

Ok, that’s about it. Will talk about my Form 4 / Form 5 years when the time comes :)

xoxo.
