Cat-toe-Lick, so Smart meh?

Over the last weekend night, the Resident's Committee sort of had this block party at the forum.

The emcee was having a quiz session and he was asking this young boy who went up stage to answer a quiz qns.

"Wah, so you are from Cat-toe-lick High ah, must be very the smart hor! you must know the answer rite? Your school just next door, so cannot lau kui leh"...

Cat-toe-lick = Catholic

Lau kui = to embarrass

I was thinking, Catholic High very smart meh? So wat?

Gals hate Catholic High guys.

Gals shun at the sight of Cathigh guys. Ever so frequent that gals' eyes popped ever so big at the moment they know that you are from Cathigh.

"Huh you from Catholic High? (gives you the kinda look from top to toe)"

I guess gals at this point of time immediately picture us with our white top, shiny silver buttons and sexy green shorts,

which instantly turn them off.

Maybe images of Cathigh guys haunting them, pulling their long hairs or biteing at their skirts suddenly flashes momentarily into their minds, bad experiences overwhelms and floods them like tsunamis.

Usually, the next thing she does is to switch topic or to say good-bye, never to turn head again.

So whats wrong with white top, shiny buttons and sexy green shorts?

Could be our sexy, forested leg hairs, which are accompanied from our green shorts. Maybe gals have scary experiences rubbing their legs with Cathigh guys' legs... err maybe, maybe only...

Or maybe gals deem the maturity of Cathigh guys with leg hair.

"Eh, you see you see, this Cathigh boy no leg hair one, maybe he is gay leh, i bet he is still a mommy's boy, eeee, dun party with him, yucks!"

Those are the few out of gazilion reasons why Cathigh guys desperately switch uniforms with other guys from other secondary school the very first week during the first 3 months of JC, especially those schools having long pants. This is our idea to escape the exposure of our sexy legs to the watchful eyes of JC girls which we never have the chance to have in class in 4 years of our lives in Cathigh. Having to be seen with shorts in the first 3 months of JC really makes us look "outstanding" and alien. Maybe because its green?

Cathigh Guys, Kids in Shorts as to Robin Hood, Men in Tights!

or

Little Guys in Green. Yes! Shorts do make us look shorter, much more childish.

I am definitely not the only one who wondered so many a times during the first 3 months in JC why our school wanted to humiliate us by forcing us to wear shorts. Keeping the tradition maybe, or because in their eyes we were still young kids.

I do like to wear sexy Cathigh shorts during secondary school days though. At least we could go play basketball, or soccer without changing and yet feel comfortable. I do admit that there were guys who wore sexy green shorts from sec 1 to sec 4. Or guys who helplessly reveal their longer PE shorts while wearing them underneth their much shorter green shorts on days of PE. Yet reasons to why gals shun at the sight of us.

Why can't gals see the gems behind the leg hairs?

Strong, muscular legs...

At least they can be assured that we can stand the endless hours of shopping with you gals, standing tall and strong, even after walking countless miles around shopping malls.

We believe it could be a curse that was brought upon Cathigh guys. "To have hell of a hard time to find a girl friend!". Looking around my group of secondary school friends, most of us are unattached. Speaking from the truth with allegiance to the bachelor gang. The brotherhood which we swore allegiance for many years with the membership grewing by fast numbers.

There are however some who fortunately escapes the clutches of this wicked curse...

L, a female friend i met in ntu, who almost broke off from our first conversation upon knowing that i was from Cathigh. The first thing she said after knowing the unfortunate truth was, "I hate Cathigh guys!". Being expected of the exclaimation, i quickly tried to rescue the conversation. With much struggle, she later said, "but i know alot of Cathigh guys, you know."...

At least we kept the conversation going by relating to the Cathigh guys we both knew.

Later then did i find out that her previous boyfriends were all from Cathigh. Few months after our first conversations, she even got attached with yet another Cathigh guy which i also knew. I call it a love-hate relationship, 又爱又恨...

gals are just like that.

I never regretted being a "Little Guy in Green". The 4 year of experience in a all boys school, especially in Cathigh was amazing. Things that never can happen, do miraculously happen. Things that can never be done, we always do. Furthermore, i met a bunch of good friends who i shared woes and joys together.

Maybe next time you see cat-toe-lick high guys, please do not give them the cheeky stares. I can assure that, Cathigh guys do look real hot and sexy without wearing green sexy shorts, errr i mean without the uniform on, no i mean wearing something else.
