Six Unimportant facts About me (part 2)
As I have stayed in so many places, naturally my childhood memory is pretty fragmented.
Whenever people talk about their childhood friend, I can only keep quiet.
I just didn’t stay long enough in a place to make friends (which will stick in my memory).
Till today, I can only remember one of them.
I studied in SRJK (c) Zhong zheng, Sitiawan when I was 8-year-old, for the next 2 years.
There was this girl, who was like a princess. As her mum was our class teacher, she sort of have a ’special status’.
She always pass up her homework on time, can do all her spelling correctly, and later become the class monitor.
Me? I seemed to … have this teeny problem of … finishing my homework on time. Needless to say, I can’t do my spelling correctly. The ‘pangkah’ always outnumbered the ‘tick’.
So her mum (our teacher) always scolded me: You. Don’t you have ambition? Work harder!
And when I was at home, my mum will always tell me: That teacher is proud of her daugther. Look at the young girl. So brilliant. She will have a bright future (be a scientist lar …. top lawyer lar …）
I moved away from Sitiawan two years later.
In Ipoh, whenever anyone from Sitiawan came visit my parents, and when they were talking about news from that place, I would listen eagerly for any news about this girl. (stupid me. To my young mind, I thought the news from this place HAS to be about this girl. LOL）
Needless to say, I never heard anything about this girl since.
Even many many years after we moved away, we still wondered aloud what had happened to this girl. Whether she had a successful career? Married happily?
Go bek and show your class teacher you now so successful, with a beautiful family and great career.
Same here Yenjai. People talk about their KG friends or have gathering with their Primary School friends etc and I can only think of them as lost nearly all contact.
Yes, I support Firehorse, go visit your old teacher and show how wrong she was …. then at the same time you can ask about that old friend.
you’re a foochow from Sitiawan issit?
wuching, not really
Maybe she’s also wondering what happened to you!
fibrate, I don’t think she even know of this unimportant guy!
Sounds like your first crush… so romantic one… hehe
Yeah always want to know those old friends how are they now… hehee..
Maybe she still remember you le…
Adino, when I looked back, yeah, it sounded like my first crush ^-^
Hey, i have few friends from Sitiawan too..
Who knows they might know her?
Just drop by to inform all my “hawkers” dat I’ve closed the kopitiam. Will miss all of you terribly, do take care of yourselves.
Warm Hugs Owes,
