My Primary School - A long lost memories
Friday. 7.6.07 12:28 pm
Dear Diary,
Disclaimer = It gonna be a long post
After graduated from my primary school [elementary school] from 10 years, but never return to visit my old school, lots of memories, stories, tears, laughter there... but at last on 5 July 2007, i had once again step into the school that i had spent 4 years with (well normally is 6 years but i'm intruder from space so i get to skip 2 years)
On 4 July 2007, my mum asked me to help her out on 5th to deliver goods to my ex school, and i was happily accept the task despite i have to wake up as early as 8 and deliver before 9am (normally i woke up at 12pm).
On the morning itself, my mum woke me up, i had myself get ready and my heart was pounding so hard and i can feel the blood is rushing through my mind and my brain, because i'm so nervous, i was wondering, will my ex-teacher remember me? or the main concern, will they still in my ex school after 10 years?
Soon, i drove down the road and heading to my school, still my heart was pounding fast and it became faster once i reach my school. the familiarity of my school compound, nothing seems to change, the place where my dad used to park his car while waiting for the last school bell to ring was still fresh in my mind.
Slowly i moved my car near my ex-school (for your information my school similar name but it is divided into A school and B school, and im in B School). I parked my car near the entrance and walked towards the school office. Along the corridor, i saw teachers there in the class teaching and punishing those that did not do their homework (to think back in the past, im not one of them... lol i do my homework). my heart pounding so fast, once i reaches the teachers' office, and once i walked in, i saw a familiar face, my ex music teacher also my current neighbour, i wished her goodmorning and asked her where is Teacher H. and she pointed to me and i headed there. And along the way to meet Teacher H, i saw Teacher N, my ex science teacher (we do have nickname for her but sorry is a secret) and my heart stop pounding because i was so excited and nervous at the time.
I said goodmorning to Teacher H and confirm her existence and quickly i walked back to my car to carry the stuff. Soon after that, she paid me and i started to tell her that im an ex student here (she is a new teacher so she dont know me) and quickly i told her that i recognize Teacher N, and she walked me to Teacher N and told her that i'm her ex student, of course she dont recognize me, because im 10 years older lol. We have a short chit-chat and yet she cant recognize me, and soon there come another ex teacher of my that teaches me elective paper (i dont know what is it called in english translation please - kemahiran hidup) and the conversation continued until i told them my surname, and it actually make a fuss because my surname is so rare that make them actually remember who am i. Because my surname is one of the rarest in school that after 10 years im still the only one with the surname.
Later my ex teachers asked me whether had i taken my breakfast, but i said is okay and start lurking around while waiting for my ex class teacher. I walked up the stairway and headed to the school hall that i once like it so much because we practice or musical instrument there for competition, for school performance and etc. And seriously i missed the moment.
The bell rang, and it bring back my memories that i always hope the bell to ring fast so the class will end fast and i can go home faster.. lol and for your information i also enjoyed when the bell rang for half of the school day, we get to run to the canteen and enjoy the foods there. Of course there gonna be lots of students cramp into one small canteen but i was so lucky to be a prefect that i enjoy the privellage of going off the class 5 minutes earliers.
Once the bell rang, i walked down the staircase and headed to the teachers' office again and quickly i ran to my class teacher's table and greet her, she was so happy to see me there after 10 years. Of course lots of things we had discussed and always their main concern was, Do you have a BF? She told me that she missed all of us and asked me to inform others to visit her at the old school, and of course im gonna do so.
Along the conversation with her and other teachers asking bout my education, and knowing that im graduated and convo on this coming August, they congras me and they were so happy for me because im graduated. of course i cant bug my teachers too long, and soon the moment have to come to an end, i wishes good bye to all my teachers at the office, and headed to my car through the corridor that i used to run, walked, and shout. and I stop by to said good bye to my ex "kemahiran hidup" teacher and she told me do visit often.
The corridor pathway is long but it never be too long for me, because i know if i speed up my step, i will regret that moment, so i slowly walked to the corridor and i spotted the bookstore had opened, and i was concern that the store keeper had changed, but no, the auntie is still there, and i greeted her and she kinda forget who am i (im her important customer) but of course she was so happy that an ex student actually greeted her and she gave me some advice to continue my studies, go abroad, and so on. our conversation was short because A school was having the break and lots of students running and queing to buy "STUFFs".
I wave goodbye to her so not i wont disturb her and headed to my car. My heart beat had slow down, and i was happy that i actually visited my ex primary school after 10 years, although the canteen had change, although the toilet had change, although the corridor had added something to block the students from running along, still my memories, did not change, it will remain deep in my heart, and i will remember it forever this precious moment although there were tears along the way, but sweet memories are always there accompanied my journey.
*CRY*
I wonder when will the next reunion be... :D
