Teachers' Day Celebrations

The celebrations sucked - 2 hour picnic followed by the boys WATCHING teachers / students / parents play Captain's Ball. But the follow-up to the celebrations was FREAKING awesome. Them Boys came to visit!!!

At first, just very few ex-boys came and we chatted for a wee bit then I thought I'd head home early but they somehow persuaded me to stay on with them a little longer. They even offered to carry my bags of gifts for me... I was won over, obviously. I'm glad too. Them Boys started streaming in bit by bit and I was overjoyed. Many I've not seen since they were P6 while the rest I've lost touch with. They were teasing me because I was grinning like a total retard when I saw them... they know the effect that they have on me and that boosted their ego a tad too much!

In the beginning, we sat, chatted and bonded. I made new acquaintances as they introduced me to some I never took notice of before. Then more streamed in and the group got bigger. I loaned them my soccer ball to play with and that was a big mistake! They reminded me of the times when I used to play soccer with them and we all started laughing hysterically at all those painful memories. "Painful" because they always made me goalie and... well, their aim got better as they were always aiming for me and not to put in the goal *pouts* Needless to say, some reenactments were played out and I kept on using Jaben as my human shield. Shrieking whenever Nicholas got the ball; his kick is painfully deadly accurate...

Bored of sitting around doing nothing... well not exactly nothing... they kept on misplacing my stuff and got me thinking that I was such a scatterbrain that I forgot where I left my stuff... but anyway, they decided to play soccer for real at the plaza. I was nominated as designated cheerleader [self nominated... I didn't want to be goalie again :( ] And more of Them Boys appeared! I was ecstatic so drinks were on me. What made my day was that I got to see Ivan after so long! Gosh. We had such an amazing bond and he really looked up to me but after a disagreement we couldn't really see eye to eye anymore and that particular group and I parted ways. It broke my heart not to be able to hang with them.

But he came today and it was as though he had put all of what had happened between us behind him. Even his friends came up to me and spoke to me. He loves soccer but he chose to sit and chat with me instead. Aaaahhh... it was turning out to be a fantastic day.

Soccer didn't last long. They decided to have lunch while Avery and I chose to chill in the comfort of the staffroom. Oooh... Avery wrote me THE sweetest letter. I literally teared when I read it... he always knows what to say and give to get me all sappy and mushy. That's why I love him so. Oh and guess who decided to join us? Ivan :) The 2 clowns decided to play with my war props and put on a pretty wicked jackass-like demonstration. I have to admit, it was bloody hilarious. But it was nice to know that things were normal between Ivan and I.

Even that got boring after awhile so we decided to join the rest and I'm surprised at their level of energy. They were playing basketball. Shirtless. Them Boys are getting handsome-er and hot-er... am I allowed to say that? :p

The sweet thing is when I decided to leave, they all decided to make a move too. Eh, MP (Ms Parveen) going already. Let's also go... not fun already... It was a total awww moment for me! I followed Avery back because he goes to the church near my place so he suggested we hang till it was time for mass. He was carrying my bags of gifts, so I didn't complain :) He went up his place to bathe and change. He came down looking dashing and we took a bus back to my place. I was starving so we ate at KFC before he walked me home and made his way to church. Here I am now. It was truly a freaking awesome day for me.
