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.
