Level Photo

Had level photo today.
Rather, a momentum for Professor Lai as he leaves at the end of the month, which we will "celebrate" with our teacher's day celebrations at the Jurong Bird Park.
I didn't mean celebrate in a bad way ><
Anyways.
Heard one of my schoolmates ran away from home for some time.
Got reminded of Gareth...
Just a bit of background information, Gareth was my best friend back in primary school. From P1 to about P4... We didn't really drift until P5. He was in 6R (1st), me 6U(2nd). Oddly enough we still maintained quite a good friendship when we were in P3/4 and were in different classes.
I still can remember how we became best friends... Haha...
Kinda funny thinking back... haha...

The sun was shining through the tinted windows of the classroom 1F in a certain school located in Jurong. (Not really true, it was afternoon session.) The children inside were having their first art lesson. The teacher in front was explaining what to do with that ranting tone of hers (No kidding!) while the children tried to listen attentively and ignoring the constant wads of rubber being thrown at their hair by the class bully. (Drama sia.)
"Please take out your Art Block now."
Kenneth had already had his stack of art block laid out in front of him before the teacher had even entered the classroom (Yeah... Right...) A bright looking boy sitting next to him however, was struggling with his own paper. He had brought his paper in a paper roll (I think that's what its called... The plastic thing in which you can roll up your artwork and bring about without destroying it?), and now had difficulty extracting it. Tears were flowing down his face (Oei! We were P1 okay!) and the teacher glared at him with her eyes built for a machine gun. "Stop crying! The more you cry, the more the paper will get stuck in it!"
Kenneth immediately knew his impression of the teacher. (:
As the boy next to him continued to let tears flow, Kenneth, being the very kind soul he is (who happens to want to help clean the beach and save gaia without the bag), tore out a piece of art block from his own stack and handed it to him.
"Here you are. You don't have to give one back to me.(="
"*sob* Thanks. *sob*"
And since then, Kenneth and Gareth had been best friends.
Up till primary 4 or so at least.
I went home, told my mom what had happened and that I had gained a best friend.
Guess what? His dad went to university with my dad along with his mom. What a small world!
I wish it was smaller though, haven't met him in ages. Last I did was in secondary 1, on the way back home. He's in ACSI now...
Gosh... People back then used to think we were brothers or something...
In church:
"Okay... You're Kenneth and you're Gareth... You are brothers right?"
"No la... Just best friends(:"

Man.
I miss him.
Not in a gay way la.
But yeah.
Anyone from ACSI, who knows Gareth Nah (not a very common surname so I shan't disclose his last 2 names), please help me get his number and MSN if he has? Really wish to contact him again.

Ought to sleep now. Gave up on the differentiation tutorial. 15+ differentiation questions to do, and all tedious ones. Can't be bothered at the moment.
