Thanks to the recession 5 years ago, my father was retrenched and had to drive a taxi to make ends meet. I was in poly second year and my sisters were in secondary and primary school respectively. I took up my first "job" of giving tuition to a then primary 4 kid to help ease the load on my side of the expenses. It taught me independence and till now, I have not stopped what I like doing most. That is, to teach.Had I not taken that first assignment, I would not have realised it.

I remember the day my father smsed me to say he got a job and that the pay was actually better than his previous job. I was overjoyed.The day could not get any better. Rekha was standing with me at that time and thinking back, it was a real happy moment shared. I screeched and could not stop smiling and giggling. That night we shopped to our hearts content.

Life is a lesson we can never learn through text books and exams. We have to experience it in order to learn more about it

This entry is a little out of point here and there but it just happened to be something I wanted to write the moment my father spoke the words out. It brought back some good memories. Honestly, though that period was tough,I did not realy feel the pinch because I had really good support from my friends then. The laughter, the tears. It allowed me to sail through it effortlessly. Like Chee Hong once said, we have been through hell together as a group.

Haiz, miss my poly days. Miss the fun and all the mischief I used to get up to with rekha and the rest. Pranking the others, making mischief, running to meridien hotel's swimming pool to skive while the others were working their butts of at John Little..and the excuse for missing in action? We were both stuck in the toilet cause of diarohea! ha!. But unfortunately, they knew us to well. haha.

So many memories to treasure. Indeed I am going of tangent. haiz. I shall just end it here.

Before that,

ammua, it is already three years since you have been gone and even then, I still cannot let go of the fact that you are really gone but appupa's lonliness makes it a reality.

I love you. I miss you.
