PEPS(I)

Hi friends,

You know, those times when you happen to think about some things subconsciously? You have no intention of thinking of them and when you are doing your own stuff you just think of it and sometimes you don't even know? Well, I was thinking about my old PEPS friends. Thinking.

Oh sure, I have got their blogs all right. I can chat with them online. But things are different, somehow. I remember when I visited PEPS on Teacher's Day. I saw my friends, a whole lot of them, and I smiled. But then somehow, the feeling isn't like in the times of Primary 3. There had been a fire, and it seems to have cooled down. Maybe a few sparks are left. I want to ignite the sparks, I want things to be just the way they used to be-but in an indescribable, unknown way, they are different.

I remember when news that I was leaving PEPS was spread. My friends were like "I thought you say you are not going/!" and "Why you must go leh?!" and I wondered, yah hor, why must I go leh, I don't want to go! But I went.

During my last few days there they were really sweet. I remember one scene very clearly, as clear as it happened yesterday. Maybe even clearer (after all, I forgot what I ate for lunch yesterday). Jia Feng gave me a bookmark as a present and somehow it looks a bit like a bubble-blower. So I gave to Grace Xin and just for fun I told her to "blow a bubble" and make a wish that would come true. (yes, I know that was childish!) She wished that I would not leave PEPS. But I did.

Some friends like Nur Atiqah who sat next to me in form class gave me a little pack of cards telling me that she would miss me. Others did the same, like Kassandra, etc. And Jerlyn was really nice. And the list of nice things goes on.

I miss PEPS from my friends and teachers to the tuna sandwiches at the canteen and the brightly painted toilets. (I remember there was this cubicle with a gigantic Minnie Mouse painted on it.)

A good thing is that some of my PEPS friends live near me, lie Gena and Edmond.

Luv ya, PEPS!

Cheers
