Theres that kinda bitter-sweet nostalgia you get when you walk around the school you have been in for the significant portion of your past..its even more nostalgic when your doing it with people that you have fostered friendships with..months after everyone went their own separate ways.And its only been 5++ months since..
The group of us (less than 5) took the effort to visit our secondary (SMK SU) and primary schools (SKSJ).The feeling was very sweet and funny.I dont know how they felt,but these were my thoughts..
Walking down the length of each building block brings with it the memories of going from class to class to attend lessons.The faces of the juniors and teachers feel to me like extras in this epic movie of life as they cross our paths as we met them.The people who my life has become inter-twined with,all here..
The teachers who guided us,seem ever-present in their respective schools,never faltering,tendering to the students just like they did to me and my friends years back.The signs of aging becoming more apparent on them..Were all stepping into adulthood already..
In the primary school,we walked around and looked at what used to be or what was..My little boy days spent so gleefully and care-free like in the school.
The funny thing about all this was,i visited the schools with Chooi Si and Sue Mae,people
i wouldnt have imagined doing it with a couple of years back.Thats how funny things have turned out for me,but im VERY VERY glad.Were all from the same primary school and both were my classmates at some point during my secondary school life,a common history.Sometimes i laugh and i wonder how i befriended them.
When you look back and see the people you used to hang out with and compare it with the present,the cruel reality is that most of them have gone their own ways,but at the same time,new people come into our lives as well.
Im in Form 6 and already,new people are slowly becoming a part of my life now.Sometimes i wonder if destiny ever had a hand in how we meet and befriend the people we know.Yet,all of them wont be there forever.
Its beautiful and yet...so...sad.Can anything truly last at this age?For life?
Sounds like teenage naivity to me,but dont we all treasure such blessings?
Looking back...walking around in schools i have been in,recalling all the people ive met and comparing it to the present,the people ive befriended and whom have grown with such significance in my life,and with the new friends im gonna be with for the next 1 1/2 years.....i wouldnt have had it any other way.EVER.
I start anew now,in this new school of mine,ill meet new faces,ill meet new friends and ill create more memories....but whatever happens...i want to take it,one day at a time~
