Memories... Reminiscence... History...

It all started when i got my Poly classmates to start posting old photos of ourselves. Photos that were dated almost five years ago. Most of the girls would never want to see themselves in the past. They would wince, snarl and get all agitated at all the old photos of themselves. I wonder why as i look at them and realise how much they have changed, for the good and the bad.

Looking at the photos, i've changed quite abit. Physically, i am now more conscious of my looks. I got back to the hang of excercising more often. Learn how to groom myself and changing my mindset of the clothes i wear. I'm shifting towards style over function. Mentally, i grew more matured. I've seen things that made me look at things differently. I became more rational, learnt to think far ahead than normal and set my mind of the goals i want to achieve. I guess i have changed... I just hope that people will accept my changes whether they be good or bad.

As i look at the old photos, memories start flooding back into my mind. Visions of what happened during that period. All the happy, sad, angry and stressful times. All came as each photo jog the memory bank backwards. As i flip through the photos, i realise we as human beings changed alot. We learn to adapt, got financially stronger and put on more responsibilities on our shoulders. Unlike five years ago, things like office politics, work-life balance and cash flow issues have never crossed our minds. We were carefree and happy. Though we are not contented with our life, we were happy deep inside. It was this happiness that i realise is missing and dissipating from our lives. Not just me, but my friends too. How i wish i could turn back the hands of time, revisit the moments again just to savour it again.

Too much! Too much!

I was planning what i would like to achieve before i come back to SG permanently. One part of me wants to visit the country. Australia is so big, i would definitely need more than just that amount to visit everywhere. But there are a few places which i will definitely be visitng. Perth, Ayers Rock, Cairns, Sydney, Brisbane and Tasmania are all ticked in the list. Or a flight down to New Zealand for a quick getaway would be great too.

Than another part popped up, part of me wanted to try to learn something else. Like dancing, music, art, photography. I'm not very good in this department since young, im only good at running around and studying. So i guess this will definitely be a consideration.

Next would be my death defying stuff... I would like to go skydiving and white water rafting. I've done rafting before but the rapids were kinda calm and it wasn't what i expected it to be. This would only be done once and i do hope it will be done.

Well... I guess i have planned too much even though my time there is short i will try to complete as much as i can. Hopefully i can bring back memories and stories to entertain my family and friends.
