Not bad for a first phone call, he thought, not bad at all...
And so the nightly phone calls continued ever since that day. The two would chat about anything they could talk about under the sun and in their case, the moon. As time went on, the pair got closer and closer to each other.
By the end of the first week, they had gotten their "permanent" classes. Kelvin went to the science stream, taking Maths C, Physics and Economics. Li Ting went to the arts stream, taking History, Literature and Economics. This meant that their time-tables would be different and that they would only have common breaks during lunchtime and a few scattered periods across the week at different times. Even though they were not always together, the pair would spend as much of their available time with each other. Sometimes they would even skip lessons just to spend time together either having a munch in the cafeteria or studying in the school's study area.
By this time, both Kelvin and Li Ting were already falling in love with each other and so on the 10th day of the second month the year A.D. 2002, the couple "officailly" became an item.
On that starry night after a long day together, Kelvin and Li Ting took a stroll down East Coast Park.
"Nice weather eh?", quipped Kelvin.
"Yup. It's so breezy here. How I wish I could come here every day."
"Yeah. Me too. But you know what'll make it better?"
"What?", Li Ting asked.
"That I can come here everyday and spend my time with you."
"Well, guess what? We must be on the same frequency... 'cause that's what I thought too..."
And with that, the 2 locked lips, engaging in a semi-passionate kiss that lasted a minutes. Neither felt like letting go as the "power" of the kiss surged through their bodies. And so, on the 10th day of the second month the year A.D. 2002, Kelvin and Li Ting kissed for the first time and became an item...

"Hi. I'm Li Ting from your OG remember? I just wanna know you a little better so here's my number. Call me yeah?" Before Kelvin could give an answer, the girl shoved a piece of paper into his pocket and darted away to catch the bus.
Upon reaching his home in Potong Pasir, Kelvin reached into his pocket and pulled out the note. Written on it was Li Ting's handphone number. At first Kelvin was hesitant to dail the number. But after a few moments, he gathered his thoughts and slowly keyed the number sequence into his cordless phone. After a few rings, a soft girl's voice answered, "Hello?"
"You must be Li Ting right?", asked Kelvin with a hint of shyness.
"Yeah. And you must be Kelvin from my OG. I was hoping you would call."
"Heh... Well, I did. So how are you finding the new school?"
"At first I thought that it would be the worst place to go to. But after I saw you, I think my stay will be much better."
"That's what I thought too!", chuckled Kelvin. "But that's for the first part only."
Li Ting let out a little sigh and said, "I hope I can make you change your mind about that last part. So, what subject combination are you planning on taking?..."
And so they chatted the night away. And by the end of the phone call, Kelvin found out that Li Ting was from Temasek Secondary School and that she was interested in pursuing an arts course in OI while he himself was from St Andrew's School and badly wanted to SAJC to complete his 'A' Levels because that's where all his good friends and classmates were. Not forgetting that he loved the Saints tradition.
Not bad for a first phone call, he thought. Not bad at all.

A Love Story...
The Provisional Admission Exercise (PAE) posting results were out. Kelvin checked the MOE website containing the posting results. What greeted him nearly made him spit on the floor with disgust. He was posted to Outram Institute (OI), the land of the undead... at least that's what Ryan called it.
Kelvin just hated himself for being posted there. The place only had 3 stalls in the canteen and the building was so old that a kick to a door could threathen to send the whole shebang down in a cloud of dust and debris. But he saw it coming. Under pressure from his parents, he wanted to go to a JC and take an 'A'-level course. But his prelims dictated that he would go to the CI instead. Should have worked harder for my prelims, he thought, then i wouldn't have to go to such a god-forsaken palce. I mean, what good can come out of it?
It was 2 January 2002, the first day of school for everybody. No exception for Kelvin who went to OI for his orientation. Luckily for him, Ryan, his old classmate and good friend, got posted there too. What made it even better was that Ryan was in Kelvin's OG so at least Kelvin had a friend to talk to and a person to share target observations (girls) with.
Kelvin was quite good looking, having blemish-free skin and the cute looks that most girls want a guy to have. So it was natural that he had many girls after him. He once had a girlfriend in Sec 2 but broke up with her a year later because Kelvin wanted to concentrate on his 'O'-levels. But now it was the first-3-month period of JC life and honeymoon time so there was no holding back.
Kelvin looked around the OG and spotted 2 girls who kept looking at him. That was fast, he thought. But he let them continue looking at him. Wherever the group went the 2 girls would both try to get closer to Kelvin. And so the day went on like that.
It was 5 already and the orientation programme for the day came to a close. Kelvin and Ryan were walking out of the gate talking and chatting happily about their day's experience when one of the girls came over. "Hi. I'm Li Ting from your OG remember?

ok... there's something new brewing on the streets now... it's called the JC attitude...
some of my camp buddies claim that this thing exists in all JC students... but personally , i dun feel a thing... maybe it's because i've been leading a JC life... but what exactly is it? i've asked the people who had personal encounters with it but nobody could describe it... they say that it's like an unexplainable aura that surrounds those who graduate from any one of the 16 JCs in Singapore... have u met this bizzare aura? or do u possess it? have u felt it's presence?
Well, if u do encounter this strange phenomenon, do drop me a hit and tell me what's it about... hmm... the tag-board's still down... so just mail me till it get's back online...
