After the Storm...
I was restless last night given the fact that exam was over and there was no need to cram for anything. So out of nowhere this sudden upsurge of desire to rummage for the old photo albums found its way in my mind. Succumbing to the temptation, I opened the drawer, withdrew one dust-covered album after another, and took great pleasure in tracing all the little details of each photo. Some photos were really funny, especially those taken in my childhood years. I could not help smiling to myself. And then there were those really nice pictures taken with my seniors, juniors and friends in Singapore. It then came to be as a blow that I should have taken loads and loads of photos with them. Really regret that now! Now I come to the realization that in this world things change. So do people. But capturing photos is a way to keep them “still”. Anyway, the following are some of the pics taken decades ago that I’d like to share with al of you.
Gathering at ESCAPE
This was at Escape, the only theme park in Singapore. Just bought a $16 ticket each and we were able to spend the whole day taking as many rides as possible. This time we, the seniors, brought our juniors there to the park to scream their stress off. I remember taking so many rides on the Ship with Nan and Mov that Mov almost threw up. What a shame…hehe!
Leak's Birthday
It was shot in Chinese High Boarding School on the Leak’s birthday. In case you are wondering which one is Leak, well, just look at the one hugging the bear. It was so fun, I must say. My seniors, juniors, batchmates and some other friends like Ken, the Hong Konger in orange and Yuki, the bespectacled girl in black, were all there. If I am not mistaken, my batchmates and I bought this gift in the bookshop in the boarding school itself. Looking at this picture reminds me of Ken. He was such a gifted kid with eleven years of age then. He was so smart, but then he got this problem with skin rashes or something just after weeks after his stay in Sinagpore, given its warm climate. Hehe…then we have Mov. He looked ridiculous there with his hairstyle. And yeah…Bro Hok with his braces…Vattey! Very young there!Ice Cream
This picture was in 2002—if I am not mistaken—at Chinese High Boarding School, Singapore. Which one is me? Well, the one in red:-). Those are my batchmates. I remember purchasing that ice cream we were eating in one of the shops nearby. And there were no spoons with which we could use to eat, so I remember sneaking into the Dinning Hall with Phea, the one in white shirt, to get some spoons. And as you all can see, on the table there were some other extra spoons lor…The ice cream didn’t taste that “good”, but I LOVED the eating contest lolz…Nan and Vattey looked really happy with their ice cream. Leak was kind of fed up or something lor…As for Mov, I am sure he was grateful to be eating a FREE ice cream.

Btw, u owed us which fruit u r, Vendy. Just in secs, take a tour when u're free, deal?
Looking at these pics reminds me of my beloved high school friends, too. What's sad is that we seem to lose contact now coz most of them seem to suffer from internet-phobias. Dunno why they detach themselves from the internet. Guess it's because they don't like English, which is something I used to hate, too, though i've always loved the internet.
hei, also, it reminds me of mah high skul frenz u know.. they were so lovely and nice! i miss them so badly now.. it seems we lost contact for some time already, sigh!!! it seems time really changed pp, from this to that unintentionally out of the blue! i'm not sure how they will be turned to be in the next few years since they've changed a lot unexpectedly these years.. it's beyond my concern! :(
Well, well, guys, happy lunar new year! All the best for the new year!
and Vendy, just for ur info, all of my us (my batch) got skin rashes after staying at Dunman for the first 2 weeks:(
To PM: Hehe...i sure looked way younger than i do now. I myself was kinda shocked too, given the fact how my appearance has changed over the years. Well, back then, i was already short-sighted but i was not wearing specs yet.
To Hour: My friend, treasure the frienship well cos it is really fragile. If not handled properly, it might flip through your fingers and in a split second, everything is gone leaving you with nothing but remorse. So my advice to you is try to re-polish up your friendhip with them and you'll be surprised how shiny it looks as it always does.
To Bro Rex: Very fond, indeed!Dunman? That was not surprising, given its dirty living environment. Speaking of Dunman suddenly brings back this scary experience! Bro Rex, i am sure you are well aware of the going-around rumours about Dunman being a haunted hostel? Believe me, it's NO RUMOUR! I experienced it myself!
