A Faded Photograph

Photo of 99S27 & 00S60, before '1st 3 months'. (Incomplete)

 

This photo was taken in year 2000, during Chinese New Year's Eve, one of the happiest times in my life (look at how happy we are? haha!). Without realising it, it has been sitting on my table top for seven years. What has happened to us since the photo was taken?

 

• Hours later, one of us went back to his JC. He was not from our JC! Don't know what he was doing here... Haha!
  
• Around one month later, most of us (95%) participated in the JC chinese drama production in Victoria Theatre.
  
• Around two months later, 2 of us (and more from our class that are not in the photo) left for NJ. It was a time of sadness. (1 of the 2 eventually came to Hall 11 and become Z grp's OGL. Older hall seniors should be able to recognise her.) New people joined our S60 family.
  
• Sometime after that, the classic saying: "被爱是幸福的, 悲哀是姓符的" was invented. (Haha!)
  
• Around a year later, 14 from the top 2 rows graduated. We were happy for them yet sad that they were going to leave us as they had taken good care of us in the past year.  Yet more new blood joined the S60 family.
  
• 1 year 3 months later, another time of sadness, this time for our juniors.
  
• 2 years later, the remaining of us in the photo graduated and went separate ways - girls went uni, guys went to protect the country, albeit reluctantly. =P
  
• 4 years later, the guys finally ended their servitude and went uni.
  
• 5 years later, the place in the photo changed its name. The logo on the school t-shirts will never be used again.
  
• 6 years later, the girls graduated and started to work in the society. 
  
• Yesterday, I saw the senior (in disguise wearing NYGH uniform to the right of me) when I came out of the cinema. Once we worked together in our JC production's Publicity Team. Sometimes we even went home together since we stay in the same area. Now, we just say 'hi' and then walked pass each other -  the 2nd time I saw her since I graduated. I realised I don't even have hers and the rest of seniors' msn.
  
• Today I am looking at the faded photo, feeling nostalgic.

 

When was the last time you thought of your old friends or the old days?

 

Will you miss those who used to be good friends but eventually completely leave your life as time goes by?

 

What will you say when you get to meet them again by chance one day?

 

 

"We will always be together

 However far it seems

 We will always be together

 Together in electric dreams"
