My badge has a Latin motto
Hope for the future
The future is hope
Or something
At times black crows try to interrupt
When we sing the National Anthem
It is difficult to maintain
The whiteness of my shoes
Especially on Wednesdays
I must admit there is something quite special
About the bare thighs of hardworking scouts
The Malay chauffeurs
Who wait for my schoolmates
Sit on the car park kerb
Telling jokes to one another
Seven to the power of five is unreasonable
On Chinese New Year
Mrs Lee dressed up
In a sarong kebaya
And sang Bengawan Solo
The capital of Singapore is Singapore
Shaded all A’s
For his Chinese Language Multiple-choice paper
In our annual yearbook
There is a photograph of me Pushing a wheelchair and smiling
They caught me At the exact moment
When my eyes were actually closed
The author is quite happy about his days in secondary school. It is full of laughter like the bird dirtying their shoes and how cheeky the author's friend was for shading all As in his Chinese Paper.
The Old Days
I walked to school
Apprehensively
Then, was my friends
Keeping me excited
I could feel it.
