I was at my aunt's void deck. I saw this little indian boy buying something at the local snack shop. when i turned to face the lift away from him, I heard. "its ok, you are my friend. I buy for you." Immediately, I turned around and tried to see who the snack was for. he was walking beside another little malay boy. and they were both smiling. elated I am with the scene of pure innocence and friendship.
somehow i romanticized that they met and played around the playground every night and became friends. It warms my heart to know that friendships are still being forged in void decks of HDBs. i think about the times when i played soccer with the rest of my primary school classmates at the slope of block 46. I think of the other kids I played soccer with and didn't know their names. I wish that they are doing well in whatever they are doing now.
I saw Eusoff,my classmate in primary 1 and 2. I can recognise him. But I doubt he does to me. But I was happy when I saw him. he was a less than mediocre student back in primary school. always kena scolding from Ms Lum Choi Yun, my form teacher then. Always wondered how the society would treat him. At a young age, and as the class monitor *yaya me* I always kinda protected the minority and the weak. But yet I didnt know what I could do. but today, I am happy to see him all grown up. I am happy. Delta Circus Primary School! yeah
i think the school song goes something like that
We pledge our school to support,
with faithful honest spirit true.
to do the very best, with faith and honour for you.
determination we will have.
in order that, we may progress with consideration for others,
and we strive for successssss.
in work and play, rugged and robust we will be,
in preparation for the dayyyyy,
when we serrrrrrr-vvvvve our country.
NIGHT!
