Yesterday was a day for reminiscing.
After lunch I headed down to Parkway and as I sat on 31, I shared the bus with many of my juniors as it passed by VJ.
As I see the flurry of faces, all of which are unfamiliar to me, other than the beige uniform and red badge, I had a wave of nostalgia wash over me. But it dawned upon me that I am old. I graduated 1.5 yrs ago, and from then till now, I was involved in many things that did not have a permanent marker in my life. Growing up in Singapore, I began to organise my memories in stages corresponding to the institution I was in. However, being away from school for a whole year, doing various jobs that held no permanency nor acheivement, it was a year that seemed to lapse in my memory. Perhaps its because it contained the darkest time of my life or maybe it was simply unmemorable .
Had dinner with my sec4 classmates. What a blast! We all haven't seen each other in months or a year. However, the days, months and years seem to peel away as we chatted like we were still in secondary school. Seeing the girls brought back wonderful memories of our secondary school days and all the fun we had. Listening to Jiayee's lame jokes that made the container classroom even colder, SuHui's laughter that was so infectious, Joy and Jesslin's antics.... oh the good old days. I had no idea how much I missed them till yesterday. It will take time and effort on my part to make sure that I do not lose touch with them, like the many friends before. But with yesterday's gathering, I believe time and distance is not an obstacle to big for true friends to cross.
