your secrets are safe with me.

i just received my yearbook and cert! after a month of forgetting, i finally climbed the hill of njc under the sweltering sun to get it. and argh. i looked horrible ( as usual) in my class photo.

i hate hate yearbook photos. it's like, they ALWAYS catch you when u're most unflattering ( like when u're opening your mouth in the size of a donut to scream on the top of ur lungs cux that's how you show your 'spirit' and your love towards the school) and they take u at an angle that shows your double or triple chin, whichever is more applicable.

and the thing is, you want to be remembered (obviously not for looking ugly) by others in a good way. we spend an unimaginable number of minutes in the toilet arranging our hair, practising our smiles that we are going to paste on our faces during the phototaking. BUT no, unfortunately it's not possible for the 90 percent of us ( do u see alot of cute guys and girls in your year book?) to look at least ourselves, if not better.

at the end of the day, when we thought that nothing could go wrong, the photos turned out to be anything but good. hair looks wrong, smiles are crooked, eyes too small, angle wrong, posture wrong.

and we laugh ( that's going to be ten years from now when we stop cringing or when we finally dare to take out our yearbooks from the dusty storeroom). it's really the memories of the school people ( your crush, friends who pon all those lectures with you, the horrible but nice teachers who can and can't teach) rather than the horrible hairstyle, or the sloppy uniform that makes the yearbook YOUR yearbook.

but that's going to be ten years from now. so excuse me, while i bury away my yearbook in my storeroom.
