took 176 the other day and passed by my secondary school. so sad. the buildings which we used to study in are all gone now as the school is undergoing reconstruction (supposedly to turn it into a better place). and the current students are housed in a campus which i feel quite frankly is much worse. although there are a lot of things to complain about the old school compound (for example the field not having goal posts and so on) it's still a place we are familiar with and a place in which we spent a very important 4 years of our lives in. seriously till date i still feel the secondary school days are the most memorable. with the bulldozing a part of our memories goes as well.

but that's not the only thing. my jc is also going to move to a new campus very soon (like next year). a different place at a different location. even worse right. most probably everything will be gone as well. really want to go back and visit for the last time some day. before it's too late. when the school does move then there's really nothing left to care about. we can only say we were students of this jc and nothing else. location different, buildings different, teachers different...everything different. sigh.

and the first thing to start this evil chain moving?? my primary school. a primary school is supposed to be a warm cosy place to begin a small kid education life and it was. was because it no longer is. the school (which is located a stone's throw from my house) used to have a lot of open places for us to play and move around (although we share the field with another secondary school) but after "renovations" a couple of years back it now look more like a office building or any other commercial building for that matter rather than a primary school. and it's like 6 stories tall now though i don't know why that matters. just doesn't seem right. anyway to sum it all up it is just no longer the same place i was in before. and that makes me sad. go take a look if you ahve the time. oh yah doesn't concern you. sorry.

so can you see what's happening?? ALL my schools are (technically will be) no longer the original one i studied in. of course i'll not include my present school which is constantly undergoing change and expanding to a place far away from campus. i think when a place changes your feelings for it will no doubt change as well. and there's nothing i can do about it. sigh. well seem like all there is left for me are my memories.
