Im 7 all over again
time: 10.35pm
This evening was a small annual gathering for 3 primary one girls and their form teacher. Of course, the girls were primary one back in 1994.
Today, me, clara and li yun met up again in miss yeo's house. This time we had miss chia and miss le with us. It was kind of surreal to be surrounded by the same teacher we had adored when we were 7. Miss yeo had always been my favourite teacher because she was just sooo nice. Never patronising, always patient, she made every primary one kid feel like a proper person!
Time flies, perspective change. No longer are these teacher the awe-mighty figures that use to determine if you could go to the toilet or drink water in class. You didnt have to raise your hand when you wanted to talk to them, you could finally address them by their first name. And never in my wildest dreams would i think that 14 years time, i would be seated round the table eating popiah with them and laughing over the most ridiculous things.
To be honest I was a little unsure before meeting the girls. The last time we met was also at miss yeo's house more than a year ago. I have definitely drifted more away from them than them from each other. No longer are they my best friends, but there is a familiar presence being with them. We may not be exchanging secrets but it amazes me that these are pple i have known for more than half my life. More incredible are the stuff they rememeber about our primary school days, memories that have long sat dusty and forgotten.
We plan to meet up again during the summer holidays and well...i hope we do. :)
