Junior School

I was on the bus home from tuition just now when I saw the backyard of a primary school. It was then I remember my childhood days in my primary school which took place nearly 14 years ago.

I wasn't an active kid but I wasn't an exceptionally quiet and dull person in school. I was just the average Joe, the friend you could befriend but not expect a best buddyship out of him. But apart from that, I was also someone who'd go all out for something he's passionate about.

During my time in primary school, the pathway adjacent to the school garden which led to the school backyard was a popular haunt for us kids. I can't actually remember if there was really a case of burglary or was it some kids getting injured - all I remember was me and some friends acted as investigators ala Sherlock Holmes every single day during recess and we sure had a ball of a time.

I still remember there was a tree in the school backyard which had red stains and everyone claimed it was blood. Human blood. So blah. I was so young and naive back then. I also remember buying some kid explosives for 2 bucks from the nearest mama shop and one of them teachers confiscated it from my school uniform's pocket. She's just weird... And my form teacher also stole my UNO cards and hasn't returned them to me till now. I bet it's somewhere buried in the Semakau Landfill.

Those bittersweet memories!
