return to memory lane

Me and a couple of the HDD guys went back to our secondary school for the first time in a couple of years to visit teachers, eat some canteen food, and to take a stroll down memory lane.

With only a few minor changes to the school, Tanjong Katong Secondary looks almost the same as the time and place where I had some of the best moments of my life. Walking along the corridors of the classrooms and playing a game of basketball at the school basketball court, it seems that my secondary school days wasn't really so far back.

Visiting the teachers was an interesting feeling - on one hand we are all now adults talking to one another, yet somehow there still retains sense of a teacher-to-student relationship that make it slightly awkward. I'm glad that most of them remember us, which is actually not surprising considering the amount of bollocks we delivered to them. Heh, isn't it the troublemakers that always leave a deeper impression in teachers?

All in all, I guess that they were glad that in spite of all the trouble and stress that we gave them, all of us managed to make it to somewhere decent.
