The Way I Remember Parkway

Today, I went town, den had my dinner at Old Airport Road, and den took bus 31 home. The bus passed by parkway, a place where i was suddenly hit with many, many, wonderful memories.

As all of you know, I was from VJ, and VJ is very near to Parkway. I used to hang out very often at Parkway and Siglap with my friends, Emily, Cheryl, Justin and sometimes Grace n Khor Kai.

Back then in my VJ days, i used to complain a lot about gg to sch.. dragging my feet to lessons etc etc.. but today, after i passed by Parkway, I realised that I was, actually, leading a wonderful life then.

Lemme tell you the thoughts tt went thru my head today.. and the memories tt flashed thru my mind..

The bus was heading from Katong area towards Tampines, so i first passed by Parkway, then the Library, den this block of flats opp St Pats, den VJC.

How I remember Parkway - Sunny and Bright
Usually,when i passed by this place, I will jus think to myself how wonderful VJ days were, and get a bit nostalgic. But today, it was more than tt..

I suddenly remembered walking ard Parkway in my VJ uniform.. with my friends.. I remember crossing tt lil' road with Emily.. talking n laughing.. feeling so carefree n happy tt lessons were over..

Those were the wonderful days. Young, innocent and happy. I got so close to tt memory.. I could almost feel it in my heart, and see the image in my eyes. It was so near, yet so far. Because I know i can never reproduce a real life scenario like tt again.

Then, the image of me n lx flashed by. I suddenly saw myself waiting for him at the bus stop early on a sunday morning, to have breakfast with him at East Coast. And the me who looked happy to see him come down from the bus. Back then, he had so much time for me, while i had lesser time for him because of my studies too. He was always there to accompany me.

Things are so different now. I can never ever reproduce those feelings. Those wonderful, purely happy feeling.

How I remember the Library
I went there for CIP once with Emily Cheryl and Khor Kai, and some of my classmates too. We were at the second level, at the couches slacking, talking nonsense and entertaining ourselves. It was a quiet, and peaceful saturday morning. I can still remember the dread n sian-ness me n emily felt as we tidied shelves after shelves of books.. and how i said rubbish n she laughed at my rubbish.

Those days are gone..

Then I remember gg there to wait for lx. He had a game of bball with his friends, den i went to find him to go town tog. He went to the lib's washroom to change n clean up. Not much emotions attached to this memory, but it made me feel like i was a happy n blissful person.

How I remember the block of flats
Haha, in year 1, during the first three months i think, Emily and i were super onz. We actually volunteered to go to these blocks of flats on a saturday morning to collect old newspapers and clothes. So kindhearted to do community work dont you think? But eh, i think we needed CIP points too lar.

This happened when i was 17. So young!! We walked block after block after block.. with.. yes! Erwin and Mark! We even stopped by the lil market to drink sth and Mark bumped into his father's employee. Me and Emily didnt know Mark n Erwin very well, but we were all apparently having quite a good time. Emily, are you reading this? Do you remember? You know all these memories made me cry on the bus lor!

How I remember VJ - Waiting for Emily at the bus stop early in the morning

This may be a boring entry to most of you, but i'm sure emily appreciates all these.

I can remember I will reach VJ prob at ard 6.50.. and sit there n wait for her. FOr once reason or another, she frequently have problems with her bus and can sometimes reach so late, but i will still stupidly wait for her and run from the bus stop to sch. Always end up panting while the other victorians sing the anthem,

After tt, came the memory of lx. How we met on the bus, den he accompanied me to wait for emily (he was so nice back then), and ended up getting teased by my friends.

Sigh.. those were the wonderful VJ days.. I really miss those days so much. But I can never go back to the past. Even if I can, the feeling wont be the same anymore. We've all grown up a lot, many things tt i used to do in JC, i dont think i will do them now. I may be ugly like a cow back then and zero guys were interested in me, but, I lead a carefree life..

Well, probably i choose to remember my JC days as carefree. I miss the past so much.
