a life-time away..

I went back to school last Tuesday to get my borang soalan keselamatan signed. Since leaving on the last day of SPM, I've only returned for a few days of Form 6 and my MUET exam.

It's been 5 years.
A lot has changed.
But a lot remains the same.

I paid my courtesy calls to various teachers. They are very nice people.

The school is still as I remember it. But there is now a lake in the middle of the field. It is aptly named 大雨湖 for its purpose as a water retention lake to prevent flooding.

It seemed a life-time away..
I saw the double flight of stairs connecting block B and C in front of the girl's toilet; it was like out of a dream. It held so many memories, yet none palpable enough to be recalled. I guess it really was a life-time away.

How many pairs of feet have skipped down those stairs? How many shy glances stole? How many hearts set a-flutter when eyes locked gazes?


I shall share a little excerpt of what I wrote on 18th July, 1999.

星期日 18/7/99 天气:阴

现在,我不再那么喜欢 xx 了, 而越来越喜欢 zz。 我总觉得他的脸好像刘德华,和the criminal investigator 里的坏人 (Teddy). 不知为何,我被他深深吸引住了。每一次经过他时,都心惊胆跳, 每一次看见他时,心里头不禁涌上阵阵莫名其妙的喜悦。他的人好害臊,我实在不敢打草惊蛇说我欣赏他,否则以后他不知如何面对我,我也vice versa.

那天,我好高兴!因为我去打针test血液时,他也去!我十分害怕,大家一起开玩笑,气氛热闹极了。可是,他也很怕。他比我更怕咯!当护士将针抽出来时,他痛得叫妈!哈哈!笑死我了!总之,有办法和他这样就欣慰。我真高兴啊!



A life-time away? Definitely!!!!!!!!!
