to have you here with me
you don't know me
you don't even care
you don't know me;
you don't wear my chains
i think i'm going to boston
i think i'll start a new life
i think i'll start it over - where no one knows my name
i'll get out of california
i'm tired of the weather
i think i'll get a lover and fly 'em out to spain
i think i'm going to boston
i think that i'm just tired
i think i need a new town - to leave this all behind
i think i need a sunrise,
i'm tired of the sunset
i hear it's nice in summer
...
i imagine myself a few years back and i look at where i am now, i scoff. i imagine you would to. why don't we all travel down memory lane, just for ol'time sake?
Primary School
i remember crying because my mom didn't wanted to get my my first digimon toy. if you don't remember what it is, it's like a tamagochi, only you can connect your digimon to oppenents and make battles.
if you don't know what a tamagochi is, you're either a dork, or you need serious intervention. God bless you.
i remember nothing eventful happened, because i was still pretty clueless about life. but i do remember making pacts with my primary 6 graduation classmates, to never forget each other - alas. it was inevitable. i'm not saying they aren't true friends, they probably were at that time, to me - but now we've distanced.
Secondary School
nothing in primary school prepared me for this. it was different, it was a whole lot of adjusting and adapting, but through it all - it was where i made life-long friends. i reckon it's because it's the phase in our lives where we're moving forward, blurring the line between childhood and maturity. so much confusion, so much indecisions, we found friends to support us along the way.
i believe it was in secondary school where we'd all experience a first love, first crush, relationship (if you're bolder to take the bigger step), betrayal, and a clearer picture and position of yourself in the future. with so many things happening at one go, it's hard, especially for a hormonal teen. because of this, it is also then when we experience trust, confidantes, love, and maturity. although still spoon-fed, we take a bigger responsibility in our own lives at this stage.
the friends who i've came to known here are nothing short of a miracle. some moved on, some stayed, and will stay (even miles apart like Singapore and San Fransisco).
...
so why am i typing this? ultimately it's all just gonna get pushed back to old entries left hidden in piles of new ones.
i guess it is to remind myself that i'm growing up, everybody is - as much as i'd hate to admit it.
