To my Friends...

 

I dedicate this page to all my friends in the Class of 2002.  I apologise for all the generic comments I wrote on your shirts and in your books so I'll make up for it here.  For those of u who didn't gimme anything to sign, don't think I've forgotten about u (or think that u get away from me so easily)!!   I've arranged the list in alphabetical order so u guys can fight amongst urselves over who loves me most.  =  )




AKASH (aka Jakash)

Akash, you've got to be the nicest person in the world.  In the six years I've known u, I can't recall a single time that u have ever been even slightly cruel to anyone.  And also, u've got the most legible handwriting I've ever seen as well.  Good luck being a doctor with that kinda writing... he he he. 

OLLIE (aka Choy Jai)

Wei Choy Jai.  Now that school is over, u should go help ur dad sell vegetables.  He he he.  After that, u have to teach me how to be good at World Cup 2002 and drive like Allan McNish.  Sooooo much smoke!  Let's hope he can get some points before the season finishes.  "Hmm... Allan McNish... isn't he that rally driver?" 

LLOYD (aka LLLLLLLLOYD!)

Heya Lloyd.  Despite an absolute embarrassment to be on the train with (everyone in the carriage looks at u!), u've been a really good friend over these years.  *insert sarcasm here*  Nah... just kiddin'.  Um... good luck at KPMG and don't let anyone "slap ur bitch ass to the kerb, girlfriend".  I've still got that Beyonce song stuck in my head.  Aaaaargh!!!

CHENG (aka FuManChu)

Always setting the trends with ur frontstabbing approach of insulting people.  Ur brutally honest which may be aggravating at times but its refreshingly different.  I still remember maths in year 10 when u sat on my right and kept elbowing me with ur left-handedness.  Sorry about the near death experiences in the Klebermobile.  He can't be that bad at driving... so I thought. 

MATT (aka Matti?)

I'm pretty sure everyone will remember u Matti... since ur in about 99% of all the photos that were taken with all the different cameras.  =  )  And as if u need any help with English?!  Good luck in the future with Ms. Ross and all the weird, alien-eyed, small-mouthed children that ur going to have!!

ANDY (aka Straight-Andy)

I've never seen u play basketball but I know u r damn good!  I've been in heaps of ur classes since year 7 but the funniest has to be German class.  All the teachers we went through in those few years... Ms. 'French Slut' Guthrie, Ms. 'I Can Actually Teach German' Salisbury, Ms. 'This Ain't Make-Up' Drouyn, Mr. 'Yo Klebs!' Kleber, and Ms. 'Moustachio' Cook... 

FELIX (aka China Pet)

He he he.  I still laugh when I say China Pet... its so funny.  Anyways, keep up the singing with Jacky and then u can enter that karaoke competition and show Johnson how it's done!  No more morning maths so u can sleep-in a bit more but ur gonna miss out on all the sleep u get in Jones' class.  ZZZzzzZZZ.  May your hair grow spikier and spikier every year. 

KERWIN (aka McInnis-Wannabe)

So that Red Hat Restaurant place isn't urs?  Hmm... dun worry, we didn't ask for a discount or anything.  He he he.  Newayz, keep working hard on software stuff and tell me when u have made some bots for F1 2002!!  Otherwise, I'll have keep coming last when I race against Felix.  Ok??  Oh, almost forgot, GO CHINA!!

JEFF (aka JK)

Out of everyone in this list, I've known u the longest, man.  It's good to see u picked up where u left off from primary school - harassing everyone.  Oh yeah and good work with the Chinese.  I don't think there's a single insulting cantonese phrase u haven't mastered yet.  "Dah fei gay", u "hum sup lo!"

SACHIN (aka Sachin Such)

Sachin, sachin, sachin.  Where should I start, eh??  I can't believe our mobile gambling den hasn't been able to corrupt u with all the train trips that we've spent between home and school.  U don't even know how to PLAY hearts!!  *shakes head*  He he he.  Well... ur a great guy and I'm sure u'll be successful in whatever u go on to do in the future! 

THOMAS (aka Ah Bak)

So... how many people have asked what ur name means?  =  )  Get a PS2 and GT3 so we don't have to verse each other standing in Sony Style.  And remember, when u become a millionaire, u owe me a car!!!  As for some words of advice... study harder so u won't have to be in a list like this for the Class of 2003.  More importantly, good luck wif da ladies! 

NICK (aka Bigearhole)

I didn't think it was possible for Eggleton to not like someone until I was in ur class.  Nick, ur definitely the best poker player out of us (especially when u sit near Kerwin).  With one change of cards, I've never seen so many five card combos of straights, flushes, full houses, etc. etc.  Um... don't work too hard, write too much or run too fast.  And of course, GO CHINA!!!

BEN (aka Pyro)

Ben... I dunno how u manage to sleep so soundly under any circumstances.  During assembly, physics, or in the bus.  Just imagine if u were in Jones' class... u'd be in a coma for decades!!  At least when ur asleep, it stops u from burning stuff.  Try keep the jet lighter away from ur bottle of nitro... for safety reasons.

KEN (aka Kenjamin)

"The champ is here?!"  Dammit I hate u Ken!!  Is there anything ur not the bloody best at??  He he he.  Just kiddin' man.  Ur very admirable.  I forgot to thank u for making that Parker video and getting the watch for him.  So thanks!  And thanks for the company on Wednesday mornings after me clarinet lessons.  How can u be a 'morning' person??  *confused*

PERLON  (aka The Leaner)

Oh Perlon!  I respect ur brave decisions.  1)  To organise and collect money for a formal from the most lazy and apathetic grade in Sydney Boys High history.  2)  To race and build the beefiest solar challenge model car with our school's extremely limited budget.  He he he.  Don't worry, at least the formal won't be a flop... right?

RONALD (aka PENIS!)

I can't believe u got left with such a bad nickname...  =  (  He he he.  Thanks for all the memories in maths when I sat between u and Felix for the full effect of ur stereo sound Jacky duets.  "FORCE IT!"  And one day, we HAVE to hear u play ur Drumonastick with the master at central!!  WE DO RON RON!

STUART (aka Mackie Mouse)

Wow... did u notice everyone on this list is Asian?  That includes u and Lloyd by the way.  Stop denying it Mackie...  I think u've poked me enuff times over the last six years for the rest of my life.  So even if I bump into u in the engineering building in UNSW, can u not poke me pleez?  And for your information... yes, thanks, my tennis racquet does go.

DAVID (aka He-Bitch Man-Slut)

Those three comforting little words that make everything better.  "It's all good."  *nods*  I won't forget sitting in the back of Felix's car with u in the passenger seat giving directions to Central via a comprehensive tour of the city.  Keep up the good work.  While I might not trust u with a street directory, I might just happen to need a lawyer if I ever become an engineer.

DUY (aka The Other D. Nguyen)

The only thing I can think of that comes between u and 'the Pass' is money or the lack thereof.  U and Yao have done a great job in convincing pplz that they NEED to go to 'the Pass'.  In all honesty, the "...but then you'll be lonely, sad, alone, and by yourself" speech works very well.  Lastly, u've never LEGITIMATELY stabbed me in CS, well... maybe once.

CHRISTIAN (aka crisP)

I'm gonna miss all the jokes we have at the expense of Stargate.  Anywayz, I must commend on ur almost freakish ability to imitate sounds.  Ur Tekken skills are damn freaky too.  I think it's time u moved on to other games... Tekken 4 may I suggest?  At least the time u spent on Tekken isn't going to waste.  It's nice to see u employ those moves on real people in real life. 

MINH (aka Phan-Tastic!)

It's good to see I'm NOT the only one who put a lame pun of their name on the back of their jersey.  Thanks.  By the way, those who don't know u, think ur weird.  And those of us who do know u, know ur weird.  "Normalise, Chen!"  But Minh, u'll always be our hero.  As Thomas puts it, u've gotta be "the master of girlfriend recovery"!  And dammit, it's not Canadia...

SHAUN (aka Cheap Whore)

If I ever release a "chopsticks" album and go on tour, would u accompany me?  Despite ur very average results in music at school, u r such a pro pianist (he he he, sounds like penis). You can play all the TV show themes so u must watch a helluva lot of TV too.  Passions??  *sigh*  I'll be quiet if u shuddap about the music camp cliff incident...

YAO (aka MC*TANG)

Ahh... the good old days of the egg shaped tomato and Light and Tangy Thins.  I must have scabbed enuff food and gum to feed entire African nations over these six years.  Sorry.  How did u manage to let Imran beat u for the most absences in a year award??  Don't break ur arm before the HSC!  And give ur wrist a rest and the little kittens a break!

JIMMY (aka Chin)

Hey Jimmy, I would email u this note except I dunno if ur account may be too full.  Can someone teach me how to bowl?  U and Thomas are constantly bowling 160's and I'm like trying to break the triple digit barrier.  Lastly, if ever ur having a tough time in life, just think back to the days of Year 9 with Selway.  *shudders*  Nothing can ever be as bad as that... 

WANIEL (aka Daniel)

It's amazing how u often manage to be wrong (Kodo Beast armies suck!), and how balls of all kinds tend to gravitate towards ur head.  I swear there must be some kinda connection there between the two.  I think u've gotten progressively dumber with every object-head collision.  "Don't worry Waniel, it's not completely your fault..."

MICHAEL (aka The Beast)

Whether it was intentional or not, the corniest entry in my yearbook must go to u.  "...the great ones among us simply look towards the stars"??  FACK YOU MAN!  I wish I'd made more of the same wise choices u have made at school.  Stuff Latin when its so useless, stuff 4 unit maths when its so hard and stuff soccer when it's an away game at riverview at 7 am. 

ANTHONY (aka Bow Wow)

I was mistaken by ur cousin for u the other day!  Am I really that bloated??  He he he.  Dun worry, ur not fat!!  If my mum could cook half as good as urs, I'm sure I'd have a much rounder figure than u are right now.  Thank ur mum for all the three course breakfasts she cooked for me over the years before our tennis games.  Maybe less food and we could've won more...

WILLIE (aka X33phnt 1337)

And I thought Yao was a porn king!  Yao... bow down to ur new master!  It's almost worrying how u can think up multiple lists of seedy words so quickly for charades.  How the hell do u act out 'double penetration'?  Ahh... the possibilities of cable internet and a CD burner...  And how the hell do u put up with Oleg?  He has much lack of skillz.

ORLANDO (aka The Legend of Wu)

Not only have u lasted six years at school but so has ur bag!  Quite the survival story.  You (no pun intended) were definitely my main rival from as early as Year 7.  Beat me in everything until I decided to introduce a scheme where the loser was shouted Licksticks.  Then suddenly, u were undercutting my already low maths marks.  CHEAP...

RAY (aka Dai-Lo)

Wei Raymond!!!  I LOVE UR CAR AR!!  If only I put my bet on silver instead of black.  When I eventually do get a car, I'll ring u so we can race together with Felix ...as long as I get a one kilometre head start or something.  He he he.  And u think the Integra is not that fast... can I swap u with a CR-V?  It has a Honda engine that revs to 7000 too!  Pleez?

JUI (aka *sighs so many to choose from...* Princess Juicy)

Sorry I've been giving u such a hard time over these coupla years.  Anyways, it's payback and u know what for!!  But I'll make it up now by being nice here.  I won't mention how ironic it is that u eat 3D's, how u smell like asparagus, how u have no hair on ur legs, how u write like a woman, how u have a weird love triangle with Ms. Dam and Emma Campbell...

MARC (aka The Backstabber)

Hello Mark, I mean, Marc.  Bah... close enuff!  *pokes*  He he he.  I have no need to write a proper entry here since I wrote properly in ur book already.  *Hums Beyonce song*  [insert more filler here]  =  )  Remember to invite me to ur next party and preferably a little earlier than 9.30 on the nite before.  Can u other guys tell me if ur going to Market City beforehand as well?

 

*        *        *        *        *

If I've left u off the list, it's probably coz I forgot or for some other good reason.  Tell me and I'll add u straight away.  Sorry if I bored anyone to death with my writing and bland background.    Those who are still alive, keep in touch!!  Good luck in the HSC guys and whatever u go on to do in the future. 

Friends forever,

R [= O B]
