a day back to one of my favorite places, pjc ((:after many "feel like going back instances but yet always fail to do so" and all that procrastination, we (me lynn & mag) finally went back today. yes, the place i regarded as my 2nd home. the good o'days. it's really nice to reminisce the good o'days and a part of me actually wished for time to turn back. but yet i know, it'll never happen and that i have to grow up and move on. sigh, it's depressing to think that i've aged. ahaahaa. but one thing that remains true, time passes. fast. it felt as if i've only just taken my A's last month. and even though, we complained alot during the mugging days for the big A's, we've never regret our decision to enter a jc. or should i say, never regretted entering pjc.
now that we've all moved on and entered a new phase of our lives, i guess a part of us still linger over the past. we were telling ms lee how difficult it is to wake up on time now (even though school starts much later for us now) as compared to the usual 6am we had to get up when we were still in pj. no more back to back lessons now but yet we felt more tired than ever. i guess it's the motivation. and mag was complaining about how lonely it can get for her in uni now without her usual friends. it's true. yes, uni is a good & new environment for each of us to make friends and continue our educational journey, and i'm really thankful to have made many friends but it's just different. the different feel. it's so different from the times when we shared the same class for 2 whole years, seeing each other everyday, mugging, fighting, laughing, fooling around and even going for the same tuition classes. so different from the current tutorial classes we have now. unfamiliar faces, strange faces. people whom we don't even recognize even after being in the same tutorial class for half a sem. that's how distant it is.
but owel.i guess people learn adapt to changes right. knowing that there's always a place for us to return to, come what may and the wonderful memories it has given us, is kind of comforting. i guess that's the "power" and importance of alma mater. the overwhelming attachment we feel for the place.
so yes. now for the pictures. we took quite a bit of pictures. here are some ((:
i used to be sitting down there cracking my head out
our tapestry
05S09
PE cages
pillar hugging
i think i have quite a bit of fate with pillars, huh.
failed pull-up attempts
yes, PJC, simply a HAPPY place.
here's the quote on the poster:
"I don't know what your destiny will be,
but one thing I do know;
the only ones among you who will be really happy,
are those who have sought and found how to serve" -Albert Schweitzer-
the place that holds one of the best memories i ever had, a place i called my home, a happy place.
it definitely feels good to be back and seeing that nothing much has changed (it still felt as warm as before) is a kind of motivation for me as it pushes me to work harder for the future, yet i know that whatever might come, that place will always open its doors for me. with wide arms. i guess mag and lynn felt the same right?
and we promised ms lee that we'll be back on teachers' day this year so i guess no more procrastination on that day, before we break our promise with ms lee. i think she'll kill us if we fail to keep to our promise ((:
hur. i miss wearing uniforms. it's quite a headache having to think what to wear for each day eh.
