I always take blogging for granted till I wasn't able to for the past weekend till today. When it wasn't available, I felt weird cos I can't post my thoughts or share certain events with friends. Hmm... actually I was having a thought some time ago. What if one fine day, blogspot is closed down. Then all my entries, photos, memories would disappear just like that! I think I would need some time to get over it. One blog entry takes about 30mins to 1 hour. Sometimes it can be even more than that. I have over 200+ entries, that means about 200hours of time! Let's hope if that day really comes, I would be warned and do the necessary archival => printing out all my entries perhaps? haha...
okok... time for an update...
I went to my Secondary School => AMKSS last fri for their alumnus dinner.
Right now, i can suddenly recall my school song. Ok, it went like this....
Alma mater dear, to thee we sing your praises
We will ......... hmm hmm hmm.... (can rem the tune but not the lyrics)
Not too bad right? Still can recall the 1st verse after let me think, 27-16 = 11 years!
Gosh, that's fast. Time flies. 2 yrs in JC, 4 yrs in NTU, 4 yrs working. There's a chinese saying, "shui yue bu liu ren" meaning time and tide does not wait for man. It's true. It just felt like yesterday when we passed our O-Levels. We went back and saw our Geography teacher Mrs Ismail who still looked the same some WHAT! 10 years ago! She's a very nice teacher no doubt we always kena scolding from her. She can be so mad at us that she will just lecture us the whole lesson and as a punishment for not listening to her. I told her that I can remembering her lecturing only. haha... Cos I was sitting right next to the OHP and she was lecturing us from that spot. So that explains my vivid memory.
The school had undergone a renovation and the school is much bigger. But somehow, the nostalgic feeling that I had of the school left as well when the school underwent renovation. However, I felt something stirring inside when I saw the montage of the old school building. Where we had the quadrangle aka assembly place. Along the stretch, we had the Home Economics room(for the gals) and also the Technical room(for the guys). I always felt that the Home Economics room was haunted. my own imaginations, i mean. haha...
Most interesting memories was the camps that I had attended. It is the camps and friends that I have made there which made my secondary school life the most enjoyable part of my study life. Most 2 exciting: Camp Discovery(I can't describe this camp in words. You gotta go through it to understand what I mean). Outward Bound School at Pulau Ubin. Where I tried things I have never done before and perhaps never will again in my life => abseiling. swimming in a quarry. Jumping from a platform that is around 6m(estimate) above the sea into the sea.Night walk in the forest. And of course, the badminton camps and prefect camps.
