Two Years Later

I said goodbye to the class at the end of 2004. The next time I saw everyone again was on the day the 'O' level results were released, in February last year. I have had two Sec 4 Express form classes since then, 4E2 2005 and the present 4E2. (Why is it always 4E2? I don't know. It just happened that way.) The class photo that I have on my desk, however, is the one taken when we were 3E2, in 2003. The candid shot.

I really love that photo.

It is a picture of innocence, capturing all of you before the weight of the upper secondary workload wore down your self-confidence. In that photo, everyone looks natural, smiling, grinning, smirking, laughing, making faces and gestures, striking poses, according to your characteristic selves. It is how I want to remember all of you.

These are the other pictures that I still keep in my thumb drive, for nostalgia's sake:

Never forget how you used to be able to laugh through all the hard times, and make other people's day with your sense of humour.

Love,

Ms Widya
