Don't know why it is that I kept meeting my ex-classmates nowadays. Come to think of it, it's kind of amazing to see how all our lives are interwined together; to see how some people have changed, and some don't. Maybe it is a matter of perception after all. Guess Singapore is rather small and it's no surprise that we'll meet each other in some way or another.
To go back where time stands still and only to realise that it was only a dream. 'Cos time waits for no man and so much have changed. Our feelings, attitudes, thinking, beliefs etc. We have all grown up, haven't we? From little boys and girls to men and women today. I wonder: what we are now, is it far from what we have imagined us to be when we were in primary school? I can still remember my primary school days, though not down to every detail. Honestly, I can't really recall what I wanted to be in the future then. But when I think back now, I supposed I did enjoyed my primary school days, especially my primary five and six class. Can't say the same for my secondary school days though. It's funny what time can do to your memory, 'cos the things that I remember now are in bits and pieces. Listening to the teacher teaching, eating in the canteen, going to the bookshop, singing in the music room, playing in the basketball court, P.E. lessons with Mrs Ow (haha..I saw her when I went back to Gongshang for the mooncake festival...she still looks the same but I don't think she could remember me...maybe some things really don't change after all).
I'm really glad for all those experiences because they, both the good and bad ones, made me what I am today. When you think back, things always seemed to be better in the past than it is today. Yes, I should learn to cherish what I have now instead of whining and complaining. I hoped that ten years from now, I can look back at my uni days with fond memories as well.
