Nostalgy

My sister came into my room holding a very familiar magazine... she asked whether I'd want to read the latest school year book(2009). I wasn't too trilled or excited about looking through it but I just told her "ok, just leave it on my bed." and she was gone leaving magazine behind.

I know my pictures will not be in the magazine.. I know I have no memories being in SMK SS17 which is why i was disinterested in flipping through the pages of magazine which I know i have no part in it in year 2009. However, I was curious to see who was the head prefect(2009) and who was the editor(2009) for the magazine and partly I kinda wanted to ''take a break'' from doing my revision...heh..

It started with flipping through the pages, looking at the pictures only....
every passing pictures are people whom deem strangers to me or even if I did seen them before, they weren't people who I had memories with..

What caught my attention was when I was flipping through the class album section... I remembered that there were quite a number of friends who i knew who was studying form6 in my former school, so I took out my magnifying glass( not literally) and tried spotting people that I once knew.

Surprise Surprise (or maybe not so) I found those people whom some I knew back in primary school. Some did change, many still look the same. Wonder how they are doing now... Continue on my flipping of pages, I spotted my little sister in the form1 section. I must say, she looks adorable there..haha..

When I reached the senior page section, I felt so nostalgic, remembering back during my time (gosh I feel so old now) we'll bring our camera's to camwhore and our super tall class monitor will bring his Nikon DSL to shot and capture all the candid moments and memories..as I feel myself being absorbed back into my secondary school year once again, I looked through the magazine from the front page again and this time, really capturing what I am looking through..

I realised that this current year book is the 13th year book that was published. There and then i remembered back in form4, I was one of the producing committee for this year book. What a year it was..rushing deadlines(as usual) and post-poning deadlines(very common). As i flip the pages( this time i did it slowly), I reach the high achiever for spm where they did their interviewing of some of the top scorers (which I was not in it...>.<). The pictures that was posted looked very familiar indeed..they were my former classmates! Remembering back the laughter we shared, the silly things we( more of they) did in class..

those times where our class was usually picked to go for outings;

the times when I was the assistant secretary for Interact Club..organising the I.U Day outside of school;

going out for taekwondo tournaments which gave me a different experience of taekwondo,staying back in school for intensive training (plus get to skip class);

went for chess tournaments too and getting to meet really pro players..plus getting free ride home from my chess club teacher advisor after tournaments =D

being a sales person selling stuff over the counter as a koperasi member, selling my '0h-so-yummy' buchetta's during Hari Koperasi..I remembered having to bring my mini toaster all the way from home and rushing to carefour to buy more ingredients coz' everybody loves it till they wanted more;

Disected a frog!!!

and many more times when we stayed back for ko-ku, we would walk together to ss15 to eat lunch.. add in some cc(cyber cafe) and a game of pool..what an adventure it was!

Oh! Did I mention that we get allowence too when we go out for tournaments..hehe..fun!..xD

and And! the one day trip where 5 to 6 tourist buses full with japanese students came to our school when I was in form 4 and form5! Each selected students get a japanese partner for that day and entertain them by interacting with them. Those were really fun time plus I got to know 2 cute japanese guy for that 2 years of the occasion =D

Ahhhh~ those were the days...

...and I always thought that i did not have any interesting moments in secondary school...

...I guess it was all covered by the memories of me always being alone in school..

I'm not a 'sad case' person after all..hehe

and I really do love and appreciate the last 2 years of my secondary school life.

P.S: To all my former classmates, I really hope that we could catch up one day soon. Really miss you all!

17-01-2010

Today passed as like any other ordinary day. People go grocery shopping as usual, eat their 3 meals a day as usual, nothing out of the blue but yet to me, today the 17th of January is a very special day indeed. Nostalgic day for me as i remember back my other years of this day....

Year 2010 will be a new start for me for so many different things in so many ways....

It beautiful to have found that someone to share my thoughts with yet...
It hurts to realise certain things..

With the 3 people whom I spend most/all of my years with have overlooked this beautiful day, my heart aches but its ok.

I promise myself that i will not cry today but i know i will break that promise....

Thank you for those who remembered this day....

I treasure every single moment with you in my heart
