my current class, only featuring the girls with my maths teacher, Miss Tan.
unable to spot me? i am the one standing in between Si Jia and Wan Zhen, behind Rachel.
ah, the season for rejoicing and thank yous, teachers' day.
isn't it delightful seeing the lightened faces after handing out the gifts to them?
especially Miss Ong! she was thanking me for two times straight that i cannot be any happier for picking that gift for her.
everything planned was worthwhile, indeed.
i made a total swear shatter into a million pieces when i agreed to go over to check out the 'how's now' in my previous school. a little regretful about seeing the past straight in the face; except for Naomi. =)
just like ole times, we were set out having lunch and major chats together for hours (don't even get me started on how we walked from school to King Albert Park, then back to a 173 bus stop). memorable and hard to let go.
so everyone pretty much remains the same, just the same greetings plus the piercing silence during conversations.
i am a little shaken about meeting the former classmates, all glamour minus the flashing lightbulbs. it's almost like culture shock with a capital 'a'.
i mean, it's like, everyone has learnt to let go (especially me) and no one were as jumpy enough upon seeing us (ok, so most of the girls were).
not that i mind, but it does not give that extra zest for making an effort for going back.
anyway, pauses aside, the most voted for 'the most worthwhile moment' was meeting my former form teacher.
honestly, i am a little worried about her current health because she does look run down, frail and pale, almost everything stress related. wish she would stay home to recuperate, more than 3 days of her written M.C.
all in all, it's all about juggling the past and now, piecing them side to side in a locket and being able to appear hand in hand because who may know in time, i may just learn to appreciate the past more.Thank you!
