This morning I got mail from the postman.When I tore open the envelope, I found a letter which said
Dear XXX,
Congratulations on your passing of Primary 16.
Regards,
The chrono team
''Wait..'', I thought, "10 years have passed?'' I took a peek at the clock on the wall, whose hands were ticking away in oblivion, as they had, yesterday, the day before yesterday, and they day before the day before yesterday.
How have our lives changed?How have we changed?
Most of us are still studying, some of us are working, some of us are interns; Some of us are overseas, most are here. Some of us are attached, married, got kid. Thank goodness we are all still alive. We have a handful in business and accounting, couple of engineers, doctors, a TCM physician, 2 phychologists, people in political science, geography, chinese history, a lawyer; Someone on wheels, someone behind (or is it in front ) of the cameras, someone analysing the markets, someone working to revert this climate nonsense (thus offering more hope than a change in alphabet) and of course, the unmentioned others.
For those who don't already know, our school as a whole new block called Cho..sth..Kuan Im..sth. block. We have wooden pavillians, and an aquarium, and new kois. In the new block, there is a multi-purpose hall good enough to hold the MBS band's 10?18?20?30?anniversary concert. As I watched the instructor and also conductor weave his baton in the air with oomph and passion..how did he chose to do wat he's doing?You know how you see your teachers as teachers and not as anything else. Now we are going to fill the shoes of these very people..
We must have had out struggles, our joys, our fun, our pain. If i had to string a few words, in chronological order, it would look something like that
Awfully shy, centered, longing, awed, growing, inspired, searching, happy, optimistic, active, success!, haemorrhaging, travelling, tears, shutting out, letting go, wishing & waiting, fulfilled, heartbreak, learning, trying, trying..
This is my wish for the dear all..for those who are lost, i hope you find your purpose; for those who have it going good, i hope you remember to be humbled; for those who can't see past wat's in front of you, i wish you a flexibility in pespective; and above all..optimism, a kind heart, courage and yes, love.
A chorus of voices
Against the rising sun
A sea of blue and white.
Pattering feet
A humbled bow
Hussh..silence along the corridor
Layers of yesterdays' lines
An unemptied bin
A worksheet with no name
A teacher's hope
A ball bouncing
A graceful leap
A silent cheer
A familiar chime
A chorus of voices
Against the setting sun
My alma mater, a precious memory.
