I met an old friend today

I met an old friend today. She was my classmate when I was in Sunshine School.

Can't believe I still remember her name, but surprisingly I remembered all of my other classmates. Did my years in Sunshine make a great impact in my life?

Maybe because the hardships we had after we left. It was a great change for us going from a private to a government school. Different and hard to get into.

My years in SM SMJA made me realize that Sunshine was alot more peaceful. The sight of boys smoking in toilets, constant fights, bullying, outrageous behaviour.. it was terrifying. The school was hypocritical on its promise of discipline.

What was worst was that it changed us so much we started losing our friends. What was once a big and happy community is now fragmented and destroyed.

Six years later, I met an old friend today. It brought back such joy and happiness that I forgot how broken we are. Different, same, taller, shorter... A meeting with an old friend was a joy I express completely.
