That's right. The usual lazy meanie decided to bring out the clean and tidy, hardworking side of the meanie and cleaned up my room today. Will be on leave this coming week so decided that since it's been some time since I cleaned up my room and that I really had enough of the mess in my room, I shall set out to clean up! Now my room is almost spick and span. *beams with pride* In the process of cleaning, I happened to open on of the many boxes that had been in my room forever with contents long forgetten. In one of those boxes, I found my stack of autograph cards from back in the JC days. Deciding that it would be easier to distribute cards to my friends and classmates instead of waiting for each to write in a book, I bought papers and cut them up into A5 size and gave to everyone in class. I guess after leaving JC for 5 years, many memories had been left buried in the corners of my mind. "Unearthing" these cards just reminded me of all those memories all over again. I really enjoyed reading through every single card and the messages left on each of them for me. I guess even my friends who had written all those words would most probably had forgotten what they had written to me back then. Nevertheless, it indeed was interesting to be reading them 5 years down the road.
Some of these people, I'm still friends with them, keeping in contact, others I have lost along the way. Then there was the "scandal" that everyone wrote about. Even on my birthday card in that particular year! Instead of the usual birthday greetings, everyone was hinting at the scandal. Some said that we didn't deny neither did we admit but just smile and left it as it is. As such, many felt that there was really something going on between me and that particular classmate. Well, I guess we didn't say anything because we were sick of explaining and denying. If we denied, people didn't believe at all, so what was the use? Oh well, those were the days. I am still good friends with that classmate and we still come out with another classmate for meals regularly and that's all that matters.
Reading all these, a wave of nostalgia really swept across me. How I wish I could revisit those days again as a third party, like watching a movie. Of course, even with technology so advanced today, that would still be impossible. What's left would be reminiscence. Bringing out old memories to savour once in a while, all these still put on smile on my face.
