1995 would be the last year of Primary School. It was a fun year....
Again, I was not put back into the 'smart class'. No big deal. By that time I had realised I wasn't fit enough to be with the smart kids. The good thing was, I was always either top 1 or 2 in my class. The logic behind it, you figure it out. Last in the smart class, top in the dumb class. Get it?
This year, I continued joining the English Speech contests. I even represented my school. I won champion for my district, beating the other schools. The sad thing was I couldn't represent my district because on the day of the next round of competition, it was the day for the Entrance Exam for Tshung Tsin Secondary School. I wanted to be in the school badly, so I gave up the competition to go for the exam - no regrets.
This was also the year where I first entered a recording studio. Memorable, not sure why, but it was. The school used my voice for some drama they did, and I was the voice of the narrator.
I was also the Class Monitor. A proud achievement. I was a good Class Monitor - because I did whatever the teacher told me to do. I was obedient. I asked no questions.
It was a fun year. Lots of great adventures. I trained with the school basketball team. Heavy training. I remember nearly fainting sometimes from running like 900000 rounds of the whole field. Eventually I stopped going for the training, because I was sick for a week, then after that lazy to go back. Rather sleep in class.... err I mean study in class.
I did well in my studies this year. I continued writing good English and Malay essays. Even weirder, my Chinese essays were being taken as examples too. Well, I was good at memorising... so I'd memorise whole essays from books, and when a similar topic came out, I knew what to do. I was smart.
UPSR, I did well. Not too bad. Can't remember my results, but I did OK. I think. Ya I did. Anyway, not important. they made it sound so important. Actually you just get money if you score all A's that's all, no big deal. It's not like you get any scholarship to study in UK or something like that. Liars.
It was also around this time that I became the CEO of Rainbow Pictures. Haha. Wondering what on this little blue earth is that? It was this 'company' that me and some friends started. We made movies. Actually we made ONE movie. No, we made TWO movies, but the same script and same story, just changed the cast the second time around. Well, it goes like this. My father bought this video camera. I played around with it, and then BAM! Ideas started coming into my mind. WHY NOT MAKE A MOVIE? So me and my friends started writing a script for a movie called 'The Unexpected Gift'. If I tell you the story now, you'd laugh. So I won't tell you! We made the movie, a full length movie, that lasted for half an hour. Yeah back then, that was a movie in my company's standards. Hehe. Later on, we made the same movie, with different actors, and 'added effects'. Actually, Rainbow Pictures was originally called Moonlight Pictures. But my 'company partners' and I felt Moonlight was limited to boring colours - Rainbow would depict bright colours.
So you see, it was a fun year for me.
