It's been a while since I hang around with my high school friends. The last time I saw everybody was the day we took out SPM results. Since then, we hardly contact each other cos some went oversea to continue their studies, some went to other states, some started working and we don't have so much time to meet up anymore. The last class gathering was in 2005. Since then, nobody cared to organize anything anymore.
I remembered following mommy to her high school gathering before her school was demolished when I was in primary school. They looked so happy catching up with each other. That time, most of mom's friends were married and have kids. Thinking back now, I think it's fun.
Ming and his school friends have gathering every year too. They will normally gather in selected pubs and they'll drink themselves crazy. I've been to 2 of the gathering. Nice. Everybody seems to be very happy.. talking about old times. Things that they encounter in school, out of school during school hour, monkey things. Boys.
I wonder when will my school have a gathering. I miss my school..
School porch.
Look familar to you??
That's my high school's building. Bukit Bintang Girl's School (BBGS).Which was demolished in year 2001/2002 (if I'm not mistaken). For those who doesn't know where was it, it's used to be located at the opposite of Star Hill Gallery, where The Pavillion is building now.
Sad.
Although it was gone now, I still remember clearly how it looks like. How it feels like. How it smells like. I still remember my school's song. The motto- "Nisi Dominus Frustra" in Latin, which means, Without God, All Is In Vain. I still remember my primary school, which was next to high school. I still remember where was the library, the canteen, the tarmac badminton court, the field. All the classrooms that I've been. High school is a very cool place. I remember we have a really big field and gym.. I remember when I was in Form 2, my class was just beside the field. Very nice place. And Form 3, my class was just above the canteen.. Cool or not?? Always one of the earliest one to be at the canteen during break time.. :P
Canteen Block.
I also remembered that we have a tradition...... which is washing the toilets.. Each class have their own toilets and we have to take turn to wash it ourselves because we're not spoilt enough to have a kakak or makcik to wash for us, like what we have after we moved to our new school building.
Outside the toilet.
Oh oh... Also... I still remember I used to hang out at mango tree. They call it pondok/payung. Will hang there with few friends.. talk, eat, just lepak before or after school. Damn best... We even write our names on the table. :D which later they repaint the tables before we moved.
The payung near the tree is our spot.
I miss my old school....
Do you remember your school? Is your school still around?

hahaha... you know, everytime we have a gathering... we will talk and laugh about the exact same thing... every freaking year... i guess that's how it is... it only shows that those times we spend sitting on those wooden chairs for 7 hours a day... those are one of the most precious moments in our lives.
i miss my school... part of it has been demolished too.
