Pieces of nostalgia from school

I was clearing out my old stuffs from my parents place (they're moving very soon *sob*) when I found a lot of my old school days books all the way from primary school to university! Those used to be my treasures! I didn't bear to throw them away, so they stayed in the shelf all the while and I had forgotten all about them until yesterday...

Ok, I'm being nostalgic but they do really bring back fond memories of my childhood/teenage/uni years!

- When I found my computer books on the shelf, I remembered the days DC and I were at the bookshop at Clementi browsing the books and considering which to buy...


- When I found my 3 cartons of diy printed ring-binded computer books, I remembered DC's goodness. He helped me find, print and bind the books that he thought would be useful to me in my first work. :)


- When I found my IHPT and final year project reports, tutorials and logbooks, I remembered the lab days and how our team actually got the first prize for the in-house practical training project.


- When I found my presentation transparencies, I thought to myself, "who would use transparencies now?"!

- When I found my sketch books and the portraits I've drawn when I was a teenager, I thought of filling up the sketch book. I missed drawing but wonder if I could ever squeeze in time to draw now with my busy schedules?


- When I found my music scores, I remembered the ECA days where we learnt to play the instruments and performed on stage. I even have a photo of me and friends in blazers on the last page of the file!

- When I found my story books, I remembered which books were gifts from my pri/sec schools for my academic performance. I remembered topping the class and achieving first in standard in schools... :) I also remembered which books belong to which sis and can you believe it? I still have the Enid Blyton, Famous Five, Nancy Drew, Roah Dahl, Christopher Pike and Stephen Kings!


- When I found my pri/sec school magazines and read my past published chinese and english compositions, I couldn't remember anything about the compositions that I wrote! However, I do remember that I ever went on stage to receive the first prize for chinese composition contest.


You know what? When you start to have so much recollection of memories like me, you know you are getting old! I wish I could find space to keep these gems but I know most of them already have their fate sealed and belong to the bin...

I'm given up to this weekend to finish my packing... I've yet to see my soft toys, my still-wrapped-presents and ohhh, my dairies since nine! Am I starting to feel nostalgic again... :P
