Past Memories

Many of you might have realised that I seldom blog nowadays. Ever since I was diagnosed with degenerating bone and 2 slip discs, I constantly thought that I've this extra numbness on my arms that prevented me from drawing.

One day I was walking back to the staffroom and conversing with frAncis along the way. (Don't worry I wasn't talking to myself, I was talking to frAncis Sin and I'm not refering my sinful self either.) We were listing out the remaining people in 6I that I've not posted in my blog. At that time, I felt a stirring in my heart to draw again. Last Friday, I had a JC class gathering. It has been nearly 5 years that we have not met one another. Almost everyone couldn't believe that I'm actually a teacher now! Ha... if you know me well enough, you would see a great transformation between me 10 yrs ago and now. The process itself will take me hours to share. I will do that if I've time in future.

One thing struck me during that gathering. Someone brought our class journal and in one of the page, I saw my own drawing. Suddenly I remembered the time I spent in my JC days.

The drawing you see took me almost 8 hours to complete and I even drew a replica of it. How free I was during my JC days! Of course many pleasant memories were shared during the gathering. I reminded my GP tutor that she called me a 'sponge' in JC days because I simply sit there and absorb without contributing. I told her proudly that now I'm contributing as a teacher. Of course she took every single opportunity to correct my english in our conversation and she concluded that this is the part that I've not changed. I ended up speaking chinese.

As I look back my entire JC days, I've not regretted a single moment I spend in VJC be it with friends or with my notes. Now, as your JC days are approaching a finale, make every day count! Live without regrets.

p.s. I strongly encourage all of you to go for the grad nite.
