Teenage Years
For the first time since I graduated from secondary school almost 4 years ago, I added 2 people who made a huge difference to my early teens to msn... 1 I haven't seen in almost 2 years and the other for as long as we've graduated...
These 2 people were the centre of my sec 1 life... But as time went by, we somehow drifted apart even though we still sat very near each other in class and talked cock everyday... We found new friends and new focus and didn't mix around that much outside class anymore... Soon, caught up in the excitement of a new school and friends after graduation, I didn't try to keep in contact with them anymore and neither did they...
But the conversation with the both of them last night brought back some really fond memories of my growing years... Memories which i have long replaced with bitter incidents suddenly seemed apparent again... It's amazing how we can still chat so freely after so many years even though it's obvious that everyone of us has grown up... For the first time in my life, i truly missed my sec school years...
Today, they're having Teachers' Day celebrations and for the first time in 4 years, I'm not back to wish my teachers 'Happy Teachers' Day'... My school will be torn down for reconstruction at the end of this year and most of my teachers will be retiring soon... Somehow i feel that a fragment of my life will be lost in that new building and the absence of the old foggies... I had a favourite teacher in sec sch... Everyone had one... And I quarrelled with her once... Strange how sometimes u fancy the most irksome characters in your life... Last year during CNY celebrations, she told me she was still hanging around in school becoz she knew my gang of friends and I would turn up to visit her... I was way too late for this year's CNY celebration and simply too lazy today...
Perhaps I'll say hello to her another day...
