nostalgia

i have just taken a look into the past... a past that wasn't too long ago and sometimes once you've seen the pics everything just comes back to you and you sit back and watch wonderfully as pics and pics fly by...

but the sad thing is that you can only look, prob watch a little video or two, laugh, make some comments on your very own self of your own stupidity and think back of what prob went thru your head when you did such things...

but i guess in the end, it's the tears that floods my eye..

i don't know why.. it's just that 2003-2004 was the best part of my life... the friends i had in u6sc4... it was a mutt set of class with none of us belonging from the school student itself... our class were of transfer students.. 26 of us and none of us came from samad.. we made up of subang, sri aman, assunta, tmn sri muda and one from as far as sg buloh..

we laughed, we sang and we cried together... we fought pass stpm holding hand in hand... we went to holidays pouring everything out in our hearts knowing very well it was going to be the last holiday that we are going to have... after that we lead our separate ways and we are all over the world now.. separation is hard.. separation takes us to different places so when we come back someday, we have memories and experience to share with.. but separation brings tears..

i've never been such a person who look back and shed tears over friends who come and go... but my form 6 friends, yeah.. i do have a soft spot for them.. we didn't get together well during the early days, but then bit by bit, we became close like a family... a family of 26... somehow when i looked in yin's profile, our group profile, and pics on bkt tinggi, redang, selesa hills, somehow it's just hard to phatom the fact that it's arleady in 2007.. and the holidays that took place were back in 2003..

i miss being picked by mahendran to give my thoughts on open issues, i miss being scolded by tiong for mischevious in class, i miss having recess with the gang and tapau whatever food we can tapau and eat in front of norashikin. and among all, i miss the laughter of everyone of us when we went from house to house for cny, or even having a simple tea at wong kok... i want those back.. i want it back badly... when you look back on things that you have done and you know you've given your heart into it, you just don't want it to end... it was the days where you just don't have to think what you say, and just say cuz your friends know it's just the bloody jen lye who say things jsut for the sake of saying it...

it's been 4 years...

but memories are fresh.. note 'are'... cuz i don't want them to be in the past tense.. i don't want them to end..

yeah.. i just don't want them to end...

it's funny when at that moment, you just seem that you can skip parties or gatherings.. but now, i want to go for all.. cuz i don't noe what the morrow brings.. whether i will be healthy to see my friends again or whether i'm still happy enough to smile and sail through the days of darkness... somehow now i just want to be involved...

if i had one wish...

i'll roll back the clock to when i was still wearing that green pants and white shirt... with pleasure i will trade anything that i have with me to bring back those moments that i have enjoyed and inprinted in my memories till my breath take me away...

if have to say what i want to do now, if i had the power within me, if i had the wish and have my wish granted, is to bring back those wonderful memories that we spent together through thick and thin, and through ups and downs...

because....

you've all been a part of my memories and life... it was just too good to have it come to and end though in every beginning has an end... it's just sad that we have all went our separate ways... and we've all grown up... perhaps when we sit back someday over a cup of tea, we can still picture the sounds and expression of kitty with his laughter, syn and chi with their antiques, the subangites with their kiasuness and above all, a class which had so much bond to be just forgotten and eaten up in time...

maybe i'm too emo... but i have to say, of late, i've been losing this craziness in me that i've shared with you all back then... perhaps looking at this pics can bring back that joy of nothingness in me...

it was a wonderful chapter in my life... and i have to qualms saying that... my schooling life is complete with you ppl...

thank you U6Sc4...

on the way back...
when i was contemplating to jump from the boat roof... looks like damn low but act it's 5 meters high!!

when we all tried cramming into that small little window of the japanese hse to take pics...
when i was so carefree and didn't care one shit...
the family at berjaya resort in redang...
the family at bukit tinggi...

p/s: this post is dedicated to the family of U6Sc4... forever we shall stand together... some of us prob moved on and when you look back at these pics, the nostalgic moments just floods back our memories... some, who like me, who shall always look back and remember those days and moments where we shared our bond of friendship and family... everyone has a place called a sanctuary... and i have mine... and mine lies in these pics that we all once took when we were carefree and still had a warm heart in us...

signing off..

hey donk...
it's been a long time since i last heard from u... and yeah... sometimes when it's been a long time you get things that flood back and you wonder now where does it lead us to... perhaps that some of us, like me still do cling on tightly to the friends we used to have though at times we just don't show it..
but anyhow, it's still is the greatest 2 years of my life... in a way that it taught me a whole lot of things that when now i look back i never thought of learning at the 1st place..
perhaps just too stressed out lately.. it's been continuous exams and stuff.. stress sometiems make us feel wierd at times...
take care where ever u are... and do hope you are doing fine...
