"Tuesday, June 5, 2007"
suddenly, childhood memories just came back.
i really miss the times i had when i was a young child.
where i used to stay at waterloo street, 10th floor.
and i had a babysitter back then.
she look after me and my friend,
elaine.
it's always around evening, we would head down to 5th floor.
actually, we're not suppose to cos our parents don't allow.
but we just go there secretly, asking our babysitter to keep quiet about it.
wells. neighbours from other blocks plays with us too.
all of us come together.
playing catching, playing at the playground, talking to one another.
i remember carrying my babysitter son's bicycle to the 5th floor.
it's those kind of really huge and big adult bicycle.
can you imagine? i was only like 9 years old back then.
and i took the risk of riding it.
wells. that was how i learn to ride on my own.
sometimes, i would also roller blade.
those were the times. really fun.
most of the people there were from the same primary school as me.
wenting,
jiahui,
grace,
yoges,
archana and many more.
kids ranging from 7 to 11 years old.
and not forgetting this guy, who wish to be known as
converse.
i remembered once i fell off from the playground slide.
initially i already had a wound and due to that fall, blood were seen again.
my wound was quite bad at that time.
it was
converse, who ask me sit on the bicycle, and then he fetch me to the nearest tap.
he helped me to wash my wound and ensure that it's clean and stuff.
back then i think he was only 1 year older than me.
i remember there's another time where i took his i/c.
then he pulled my hair just because i didn't want to return him.
even though i've seen the i/c, i still can't remember his name.
i wonder if he still stays there.
oh. sometimes when me and
elaine play till quite late, my babysitter would just shout our names out from the window.
HAHA.
i also used to have tuition at 7th floor.
the tuition teacher was my babysitter's grandson.
his really smart and good looking.
had maths and science tuition that time.
wells. i even attended his marriage a few years back.
everything has changed now.
all of us grew up.
most of us still study in the same secondary school.
but we don't even say hi to each other.
because all of us changed.
some become bungs. some become ah lians.
a minority remains the same.
plus i don't stay there anymore so maybe we've forgotten one another.
wells. sometimes i wish i could go back to those days.
where everyone comes together and play.
and wherever you go, you will sure bound to know someone.
and i love visiting the market with my babysitter too.
it's so frequent that almost all the aunty and uncle there knows me.
and then at night, my dad would come and fetch me.
during the car journey, he would made me memorise my timetable.
that's his way of making me memorise my timetable.
how i wish i could have a childhood friend reunion.
ain't that nice?
and i hope to find
converse.
hur.
if only i remember his real name.
