Hey guys...
Have you ever just have a flashback and think back of your old school with your friends and everyone... I came back from International 16 meeting, and then I miss home again, as usual... Apparently, instead of searching of Brunei again, what i did.. I was searching through my old schools...
1) Chung Hua Middle School, KB (1994-2004)
I spent literally most of my school years in CHMS, KB where i met a lot of my closest friends right now... Guys, did u check the website? I was looking through it, and wow, less than half of the teachers are teachers who taught us... Currently, they still have Teacher Joan, Lee Siew Sung, Teacher Sherelin, Mr Chandron, Hong qi lao shi, and somemore.. but u get what i mean right??? There's no Cikgu Gan, Miss Chua, Mr Jerome, Teacher Shoba, etc in CHMS... I mean like, if i were to walk down the halls of CHMS again, I believe I would see new faces everywhere.. I really miss the school though, back then, we didnt have all those technology like projectors.. We had to live with the fan when we were primary kids, our tables and chairs were wooden and we had the covered drawer! I remember when we were young, it was still chalkboard... Man, i wish i had taken pictures of those times... I would laugh like crazy just looking at it i guess? I remember funny and crazy moments back in school... It was really the good old times... Bros and sistasss, you guys know who u r... I <3 u all...
2) SMPJNPHAB, PJN, Mumong (2005-2006)
I was looking at wikipedia when I did my memory lane with PJN... And then you know what i found? The school song!!! I remember when me and yihing was at the assembly and we heard the school song for the first time, we were dumbstruck.. because it sounded soooo nice, like a celebrity ballad... Not like CHMS "bi hai bi, ling li li" HAHAHA!! It was like "Kami berilmu, beriman and berbakti...."... I remember complaining abt the heat, because we didnt have aircons at the top floors, i remember meeting the MA4/5Sci people and we discussing abt like what questions were in the test and stuff.. Its because of PJN, i met a lot of great malay friends... Right now, I still enjoy being with them, speaking the awesome Brunei Malay with them, its because of them, I learn so much more about the malay culture, and I really love my experience there.. The teachers were terrific, and I owe it to Mrs Phang for giving me the interest in Chemistry, and Teacher Amanda aka Mrs Voon as well... PJN was the right decision for me, and I really miss those moments too... I'm grateful to have met you guys from PJN =)I <3 u all...
3) Jerudong International School, JIS, Bandar (2007-2008)
JIS was the school tht i least expect to go during my school years.. How i went to JIS, actually started as a joke with my mom... We saw the advert in Borneo Bulletin, and we were like "Lets apply for fun, get in or not, no need to care, fan zhen going to SMSA ma"... Hahaha~~ and soo... I went for the test for the Jan 07 batch... And then december came, and I received a call, "Miss Leong, you've been accepted into Jan 07 batch"... I was like "WHAT?" hahahaa... how funny was tht? And so i started JIS... It was okay during the first mth, i made new friends and all... But then It was CNY in february, where the homesick-ness came... I believe it was coz i was having so much fun with my KB friends, missing them like crazyyyy.. And i was crying everyday in JIS, ask grayson, he heard me cry.. hahaha! I decided to try SMSA but what they learnt was what i've already learnt in JIS, i didnt want to re-study everything again... And my dad wanted me to become independent, he wanted me to get away from the family so that I could live on my own, without family support... This was the right decision as right now, im in the UK, all alone and surviving with my personal decisions... JIS was an amazing experience I would say.. I met all sorts of international people, I was part of the School council but best of all, i was part of J07... I love these people... Because there was only 14 of us in the class, (Bian and Denise left in their year 12), we all grew this bond with each other, but this didnt stop us from making friends with the August batch. we made friends, and they're awesome! I thank JIS for letting me meet Dorren especially, Dorren is one of my closest friends of all times, and I share a bond with her which is indescribable.. We dont contact each other everyday kind, but she understands me and i understand her .. haha, I guess this is what you call friendship? And akmal too, working with him in Pusat Bahagia was a great experience and I remember in classes, we always bully each other with May-o-naise and Dayangku Akmalina Latifah, thts sooo fun, i think he'll agree with me... Gold award with my peeps, u guys know who you are, we conquer MT killimanjaro together, the first students from brunei to climb tht mountain .. Pancake and interesting Chemistry experiments with Mr Kruger and Hird with J07... J07, and i mean everyone, I'm grateful to god that i've known you guys, even for 1 and a half yrs of study life there... I <3 u all..
Its just a walk down memory lane for me right now... And yes, right now I'm in the Uni of Manchester, with my friends all over the world... At least I want them to know, no matter where we are, our memories in the past will be forever cherish in my heart and I love you guys to bits... I thank you for these precious memories and I wish everyone all the best =D
I love making new friends, and every new friend i make, will have a spot in my heart.. My dear friends, we were meant to meet and I hope that you wont feel that I've forgotten you, just because we are not speaking anymore... In my mind and heart, you're always my friend, and with whatever memories we have, it will forever be cherished...
-May out-
