She's this teenie-weenie girl who sat in the corner and wowed the class over with her rendition of a sajak in 1 Mawar.
We scratched at the walls on the third floor fearing the form five building will not be able to hold our weight along with the ten or so classes it houses.
I begged our freakishly weird third form teacher (complete with tears and in front of the whole class) so she wouldn't have to sit in the 'blind-spot' corner. Later that year, she grinned and told me I'm invisible in the dark corridors (grr!). I remember how fast I ran when the classmates told me she was crying veryveryvery hard. And how we came up with the theory that being given the honour of being a prefect is just the euphemism of being a slave.
Then we shuffled around from class to class after being given another honour - the Akik-ians. Oh, and her signature pose in lab. Drop your pen underneath the from-wall-to-wall tables and sleep while pretending to search for it.
The Chen Ken Yee aka 'sai lo ko' aka first girl is that she. And she'll always be.
No matter how long she goes away or how crazy things are on the other side of the straits, she'll always be a part of me that will never go away. It's that part that you think will go away from not hearing about each other's day but never does. It's the feeling that you've found something special and precious and can never forget. It's the way you can write and draw and color and be all artistic just because you know she needs a little bit of her favorite things at the moment.
Okay, okay enough sappiness.
Oh, by the way "HEY, KEN YEE!"
We have to see each other one more time before you leave for that place okay. You are one of the few that can go away for most of my life and yet when we meet we can still yabber on for hours on end.
*love*
