Those were the days.

This morning, I walked pass Queenstown Primary School as I wanted to return the book to Queenstown library. Uncontrollably, memories of my primary school days and mentoring sessions flashed back again. I saw those cute students which somehow reflected me when I was still a primary school student.

Back in my primary school days, I was someone who was fierce, with bad temper and even unreasonable at times and less crazy compared to now. I have surely changed myself over the years. When I was in upper primary, I was quite well-known for being a strict prefect. Some teachers even knew that I would report anyone who broke the school rules. A friend disliked me because I caught her for breaking the school rules. I guess she did not understand that I was just doing my duty. I was glad that I still had good friends who were willing to point out my mistakes and stand by my side when I needed them. Lei Sim was one of them. Because of her, I believe that true friends do exist. She is not the only friend whom I can vent all my unhappiness on and even understand that I did not do it on purpose. Of course, later, I would either apologize or explain everything to her or both. She is also not the only friend who understands me well. I am so glad to have the group of friends with me and always ready to listen to me and give me their opinions. She is the friend whom I trust the most. I think even when all my friends betray me, she will not do so. She is my most important girl friend. She knows her own mistakes. When I can’t stand her for being what she is, I would eventually tell her. I am telling her because she is trying hard to change herself for the better and so am I. There is almost nothing we hide from each other. I think I am really a bad friend at times but I wonder why she keeps saying I am a good friend. She is so silly.

Back to the main topic, as my sister is one year younger than me, so I had to take the registration form from my principal for her to enrol into my school. I remember vividly that my principal called my name and some other seniors to queue up and go his office. I was the only primary one student. I was so scared that I took the form without saying thank you when leaving his office. He called me back in front of the others. So, I turned back and said “oh.Thank you”. When I walked pass by those seniors, I remember them saying “she is so cute” =D Back then, my mum loved to spend time tying my hair with different hairstyle practically everyday! I miss those days. Anyway, during principal’s speech or reading time, I loved to look at the seniors. I admired them for being so tall and wished to be like them soon. There are so many things which I wish to do again, like playing catching and hide-and-seek. I shall add these for the next mentoring camp!I am just kidding.

I miss my mentee and other mentees.
