Since 1995...

Remember when you first attended kindergarten? Were you excited, anxious or totally unhappy about the idea/ thoughts of it?

For me, I couldn't remember. Or maybe I did feel shy. I wasn't quite as talkative when I was a toddler.

When through the store room the other day and guess what I found?

Kid's school bags! I don't remember using any of these bags except for the Yamaha Music School one which I attended when I was small. The top 2 bags should have belong to my sister and the bottom left, my brother.

Despite not quite remembering my childhood pretty much, I believed I had a great time. I went to 3 kindergartens, 2 of which are English and 1 Chinese. 

I remember, oh no, I saw, one of my childhood picture where I was on the far right and linked my hand on the shoulder of a Bangladesh boy who wore a turban on his head and another girl, which I've no idea about on the far left.

And then another kindergarten, I have no vivid memories at all. So I"ll just skip that.

And the last one, which was near to my primary school, was a chinese school. It was really wearisome, with most people know how writing chinese (or is it me alone?) is so difficult. Coupled with Chéngyǔ (成语), that makes life more difficult. But nonetheless, it was the only intensive training I've ever had on Chinese language. I remember catching tadpoles using my hands at the drain which had crystal clear water! I had never thought the drain was dirty! Then the tadpoles were placed inside a bottle water and when I played enough, I released them back into the drain =)

And then, I entered Methodist Girls' School (MGS) for my primary school. I had a truce with one of them for a year, but the others were my best friends. I remember buying ice-cream and bubble gums from the aunty who sold them on a cart. Oh pure bliss when you have nothing to worry about! Proud and elated that I've studied hard enough to secure number 1 place in class and number 4 in the whole form, my best achievement so far. 

Things gets interesting with years right?

High school? To be continued : )

How's yours? Reminisce and you'll be intrigued with yourself!

Lovely day!

On another note, life gets more convoluted as life stories entangles. Be it because of own self, someone close, or even strangers.
