Glad indeed to have some of the old students came visiting during Lunar New Year. There were always faces that could hardly recognize. There were always names that needed to be uncovered deep from the memories…
How small they were many years ago!
Several boys from my previous school SJKC Pangkalan Bukit Estate came visiting to my place. There were some faces that haven't appeared since I last saw them about 10 years ago and they have really grown up till I wasn't even able to recognize them or speak out their names. They were the Law's brothers, Chan Hock the eldest and Chan Seng the youngest are studying in UPM and UM, both of them has been working hard and I am looking forward to attending their convocation a year later. Chan Keong, the timid boy works as an air-con mechanic in Singapore after his STPM and I was glad that he was here together with them.
Guang Ming is a really hardworking and independent boy who has been trying very hard to upgrade himself. He worked in Singapore for years to accumulate some fund in order to further study as his family couldn't afford to support him. He is now taking interior design course in MIA, the Malaysia Institute of Arts. Wish him all the best.
Zhizhong, Chow Ming and Ming Hui were faces that haven't been appeared since I last left them. Zhizhong came all the way from Simpang Renggam, his family shifted there when he was in primary 5. He has been working in Singapore for almost 5 years and he is now staying with Chow Ming and Chan Keong in Singapore. I was told that they always help and rely on each other over there. In fact, they had been so close and always helping each other since they were small.
Chow Ming works as a cook and I hope that he will become a great chef in future. Ming Hui involves in the business of the spare parts of car in Skudai, he brought his girl friend along. He reminded me he was the one always being punished for not doing his work!
We talked about their career and present life, we talked about the past too, and they even asked for the pictures of the past. I was really touched when zhizhong was humming "The Ancient Temple" that I taught them many years ago. They shared the pictures that brought back lots of memories joyously. I feel really proud of all the boys, they are the children from the estate, their parents are mostly illiterate, but they have been striving very hard for their better future.
May they succeed in everything they do!
