maybe we should all take awhile to take this in: we ARE approaching the end of this stage of our lives.
u probably rmb sometime when u were in primary/secondary school and some wise old distant retired millionaire uncle during chinese new year came and spoke to u. giving u advice saying that teenage and childhood years are the best years of ur life.
u probably shrugged and just thought to urself that this guy probably just misses his youth. LOL. after all, how could waking up at 6+ in the morning and reporting for morning assembly and going for a gazillion EFFECTIVE math lectures here in this case here, be the best part of our lives? haha.
but in a strange way now, dun u miss the way mr leong greets the college every morning.. miss standing there dumb as u might have looked singing the national anthem and school song? didnt u at grad night when realizing that this was going to be the last time u ever sing the school song, sing it louder and more proudly? for me, i even wished we could have had an encore... haha.
you know, its a funny feeling nostalgia. the way it makes u miss the things u nv thought u would. miss the little jokes at chem and physics lectures that u usually wish to pon.. miss the feeling of waking up at 6 and chionging to school.. or the random canteen breaks that we took in between lessons and the times when we were caught by teachers? haha. but most of all, dun we miss the ppl who made all these memories possible?
maybe next chinese new year, with your new hairstyle (most guys would be bald and most girls being GIRLS would have probably done something to their hair HAHA), youll tell that rich uncle that perhaps u understand better what he means now.. u wouldnt know if it was the best time but its certainly been a helluva time! and the ppl who have ponned their way through have certainly been missing out! haha. and for me, im glad that it happened. all of it. the good and bad. each and every school day.
but that little dreamy idealistic part of me still wishes that it could happen again. just one more time. just one more school day. one more time to wake up in my dreamy state and trudge to school all sweaty and be greeted with my bunch of half asleep classmates at the parade square, before trying to keep still and stand straight to sing the anthems and listen to mr leong to make his FURTHER announcements...
but issit ever going to happen? (dun answer that pls. lol)
If it does, this time round. i probably wouldnt cheer if morning assembly was cancelled. lol.Labels: reflections
