Thank you for the kind words! :) I agree about the cool ppl fading away after high school. I guess when we were kids, we evaluate coolness differently. One often wonders why did we ever think someone was cool before. nat: Hi Nat! Thank you for the kind words! :)

I also enjoy your frank, funny and unselfconscious style of writing. Nice work. But back to the topic, I find lots of people who were super cool at high school peaked way too early. So even though I can understand your curiousity, I agree with your last statement that it may actually be better to not find out what your mancrush is doing now. I'm not saying for sure that he's got two ex-wives, is living in a depressing bedsit and survives by doing casual nightfill at Woolies but you never know... Don't destroy the memories! Hi Mooi

I also wonder about the cool kids - sometimes I think it's better that they remain as cool kids in my head and I never get to see what they are up to now. girlstar7: yeah I started off as a FOB and then gradually eased over. Though I think I managed to float easily in between the two groups. And correct guess! Man, I wish I was cooler back in school. Hahah! blinkymummy: yesh but it ain’t that kind of crush ok?!

We had one big 'asian group' who were mostly FOBs (a few weren't but they nonetheless acted like the FOBs and refused to interact with anyone who wasn't asian). This group would very much keep to themselves and barely interact with the anglos, if at all. They would dress in asian fashions, have photos of asian pop stars on their folder, and often speak in their native tongue. We also had the ABCs who were pretty much just like us except with asian skin. They had predominantly anglo friends, acted just like we did, and dated aussie guys. If we talked about the 'Asian group' we were always referring to the FOBs and never the ABCs...we didn't even really think of the ABCs as asian cause there were exactly like us. Anyway, interesting....oh yeah, and I think you are front row, far right! It’s funny you talk about the two classes of Asian kids as it was EXACTLY the same in my school!
