8 long years

Haven't blogged in ages.

Just came back from my primary school gathering. The experience was great. It has been 8 long years since we left primary school and seeing each other again was like going back to the good old days.

Everyone was doing well. We were the cream of the batch back then, and I wasn't half surprised of how well everyone had done and how much potential each and everyone of us has at this point of time. It was a casual gathering and we were also reunited with our then form teacher. Honestly, I was pretty disappointed she forgot my name, given I used to be the head prefect. Well, afterall it has been 8 long years.

I kept feeling how surreal it was to be there with people you haven't seen in ages, and I can't help but wonder when would be the next time we would see such a gathering again. It was a good piece of memory to treasure though. =)

the outsiders

Really don't have much to blog about recently. I think I forgot to state that I'll be teaching in Chung Cheng High School Main. Secondary 3 english and Secondary 2 English Literature.

The book I've been given is 'The Outsiders', some book about a bunch of youths living in 60s or 70s America trying to cope with social discrimination, family violence, fights, deaths and how they bond together in times of adversity.

The story is being told through the eyes of a 14 year old boy and how his views of life change as things around him affect him one way or another. I've read about 5 chapters of the book and it's really getting interesting although I've read the overview of the story online before I started. Probably read more before I go to sleep later.

I'm also looking for its movie version as it's a print to screen. But it's kinda an old movie so I haven't really being able to find it.

Oh ok, logging off. Hopefully when I start work I'll have more interesting things to blog about.
