I am on leave this whole week, so yesterday I went out and get stuff done... I went to find my mom at her workplace to tell her that my sis not going home for dinner then went down to vivocity to get movie tickets, then went to Caldecott to collect Ken's prize, then went back to vivo for movie and dinner, before heading home to catch the 10pm show... Hahaha... Went abt by bus and not train, so took quite a bit of time... Think from 1030am I left home and the movie was at 1540... So was travelling on bus all the way...
I took 30 and I passed by the place where my sec sch was... All the past memories filled my mind... I typed them in my phone... ...
"As the bus passes my ex-school compound. My mind flashed back of all the fond memories of this place. This was the place I first met Ken. We've always wanted to come back here to take our wedding photo. But I guess it'll never come to pass. As the bus passes the school field, images just flashed in my mind. This is the place where we threw javelin, threw shot put, whewe'll pass by when going to the swimming pool. Where Ken'll be running and playing soccer, where he will be giving commands to his scout juniors to do this and that... I cant help but smile... Then as the bus turns, I realised that it has been changed into another school... Commonwealth Sec Sch... The canteen is under renovation, dunno if the canteen vendors follow the school or the compund... Are they still around? But I felt so sad... All the past can only be remembered by memories and photos. The current physicak structure is no longer the same.
In a few more years' time, I guess it'll look and feel totally different. Even our JC has shifted place and taken over by my sec sch. It feels so weird... I dun think I'll go back to my JC or shld I say Sec Sch to take photos there... Think I can drop this idea... The feeling is no longer there... hahaha... My Pri sch also shifted place... To where Ken's pri sch was.. So weird feeling... Heh...
But... Maybe can still go Pandan Reservoir... Heh... Our 2.4km runs, and the walkathon.... Hahaha.... 40th anniversary of the school, Sec 1.... Think it was the only time I walked once round the whole reservoir... Hmmmm... And my tortoises....
But as physical structures give way to new ones, it's a sign that our country is progressing. And even in our own lives, we ought to do the same... We got to move on... Leave the things of the past behind and move forward. It's good to look back and reflect once in a while. But NOT to live in the past. We're still alive. And we're to make a difference in the world today. And this doesnt come about by dwelling in our past failures or successes, but by looking forward and work! So start moving!!!"
