Moving on... slowly but surely...

Hi guys, wonder if anyone still visit this blog... well, even though I may be the only reader (and writer), shall get on with the usual greetings.

Xmas has just passed. Prior to that, all of you should have 'visited' your secondary school and attended the very first orientation - talks by the P or VP, orientate around the school premise, sat in the 'supposed' class, met the 'supposed' classmates, say hi to frens fr ADMPS, saw the various CCAs, bought the books, uniforms etc. In short, you had your very first secondary school experience. There could be mixed feelings. Some of you felt excited and looked forward to the school opening. Others might feel intimidated by the new environment, friends, syllabus etc. Nevertheless, that will be your (new) 'home' for the next few years! So cheer up!

30 December 2009, Wednesday. Cool weather.

I visited our classroom today to do some cleaning up. Well, not exactly since the cupboards had been emptied some time back. I was thinking of moving the mini-shelf to my new classroom...(back to 3rd level again).... As my hands laid on the shelf, the dirt and dust that had been accumulated for ages glady transferred to a new 'home'. That's right, my hands were blackened immediately! I quickly left the shelf alone and rushed to the washing bay to clean my hands.

After the wash, I had my body turned against the bay. In front of me, I had the full view of the classroom. Yes, our 6RS classroom.

It was empty. The room was partially lit and I had only switched on the fans at the front row.

The tables and chairs were left exactly the same way... I slowly made my way to my seat. From my seat, I could recall clearly how everyone would have been seated. Within me, I connected everyone's name to the very table and chair. The images of you were rushing through my head - having lessons, talking to friends, doing the work, dozing off, dreaming away.... the moment seemed surreal!

Before anyone wondered if I had gone bonkers.. haha... yes, i was alone in the room. Alone I repeat. What I saw were memories of us in my head. To make it clear, I don't really miss the class... Hmmm...does it sound correct?.. haha.. I mean, i do miss the everyone but, knowing that everyone has gone on to the next stage of your life, I feel relieved and ... hmm... loss for words.... how about this, the sense of loss (some of you may call it sadness) has been 'converted' to a more pleasant feeling. No tears, just feel proud of you.

For how long did I stay in the class, I could not tell. It definitely was a while long.

Just like a song comes to an end, I was brought back to reality. Alone in the room, I gave the environment a few last glances and made my way to the door. As I was moving to the exit, a smile appeared on my face and uttered something in my mouth.

"Yo people, be happy, smile always."

~~ The End ~~

By the way, if you can recall and wonder what happened to my shelf. Yes, I totally forgotten about it and left it in the classroom again!!! To think my naggy nature will prevent such situation from happening, I ought to be in a strong daze (or LaLa-land) at that time.

Sigh... guess I will pick it up again when school reopens on the 4th Jan.

Have I (we) move on?

Sure. Definitely.

2010? ... coming soon.

Happy New Year everyone!
