3 Years Ago

Today, i attended my first 無機化学 lesson. Yes, the first lesson since i came here. And one more thing, i attended that lesson not in my own class but the 2nd year students one. Well, thing is liked this: there won't be any class for 無機化学 from now on, though i don't know why. So, the Thai girl who is same class with me, and myself, decided to attend the 2nd year one. It is a important subject, and we don't know how are we going to sit for the university exam if we had never made contact with those 無機化学.

But the main point of this post is not about that subject. Instead, i want to talk about what i had seen during the lesson: October of 2004. 3 years ago. This began when i was looking around and noticed that the students around me are just 17 years old. And i just couldn't help myself thinking back the same time when i was still 17... What was i doing during that time?

October 2004, the SPM trial exam was over. I still went to school everyday, though most of the others were staying at home or else going to public library to study. Well, i must say i enjoyed going to school that time. Teachers were not around, and there were just few of us, playing and chatting all day long. Studies? SPM? Naah, we just didn't feel like pushing ourselves more after the trial exam. I really worked harder for the trial compare to the real one. Never mind about that.

"Hey, did you hear it?"
"Sure! So, what are we waiting for?"
"Er...give me another 5 minutes, i want to finish this chapter first."
"Ok, 5 minutes!"
Then, after just one minute,
"Aiyah, lets go lah!"
"Haha, i know you can't stand it already!"
"You are the same what!"
"Okok, it is basketball time now!"

That was what we did after school. Well, we did stay back to study in the school library. But normally we ended up playing basketball. Then, we couldn't dare to go back to the library immediately, as we were sweating a lot. So, we ended up chatting, again. Seemed to be so many things to talk about at that time. We almost did the same thing until SPM. And We surely had a great time, which can never come back again... 3 years already since then, time flies fast indeed.

I came back to the class, didn't mean to wander any longer in 2004. Looking those around me, i suddenly felt that i had been through many things already. Of course, that is only considered as a small course of our life journey. Yet, here we are, walking beside those Japanese. Sure there are things that we have gained since we are here. I am sure there are big differences on ourselves between 3 years ago and this moment. Am i right?
