*****
Two more weeks before the reunion.
Sigh.. with a mixture of impatience and also reluctance in the heart, she crossed out another date on the calender. What was she thinking ya when she agreed to be one of the committee member for the reunion? Now, she can't even back down or pretended not to see the invitation as she was among the ones who posted it at the event's page.
Looking at the old photos in the album for the 10th time, it seems strange, to see the same faces again in facebook. The same friends but wearing a different or an older version of faces.
Going down the memory lane in the older days might be something one needs at this time of life. To trace back your footprints and see if others see you as you see yourself daily in the mirror.
The fun and naughty things that we used to enjoy in those so called innocent days, the hardship and also the tears shed when things turned out worse than we had hoped for. Each memory given a new life. And at such times we might laugh at our younger selves. How we would talk about what we had all done in all these years. We would share our experiences - not all perhaps but some of the good and the bad things.
Even before the reunion started, it seems that some of us had gone the extra mile to reconnect back the old ties concerning the heart. 2nd chance to pursue their heart desires? Maybe.. But at what price ye..?
Place Des grand hommes (Patrick Bruel)
We'd made a promise to meet each other in 10 years time
Same time, same guys
We'll see everyone when we are 30 , we said
On the steps of 'Place des Grand Hommes'
The day finally came
But I do not want to be the first to arrive
What If we had nothing more to say
and if and if..so many ifs..
I make a detour in the area
It's amazing that to see that the twilight at thisspringtime
is almost the same twilight 10 years ago
Sidewalks worn by downcasted eyes
Oh what am I today?
What have I done all these years?
I didn't float calmly on still water..
I have not also swim with the wind blowing from my back..
What have I done all these years?
Last turn to the right, then Souflot road
A few more steps..
How will it be.. 4,3,2,1 ... 0?
I used to dream of her..
Is that the beautiful Séverine finally looking at me?
Eric wanted to explore the subconscious
I suppose he rises to the surface from time to time
I am a bit afraid to walk past the window
What if I didn't go
Then I couldn't be mistaken for someone else tonight
In front of a showcase of antiques
I imagine that is what this reunion of friendship is..
"You haven't changed, how are you?
"You're married with three kids?
"You look successful, ah..so you are in medicine
"And you Pascale, do you still laugh for no reason at all?"
Me?
I've had high tides and low tides
Like you, like you, and you..
I met the storms and gales..
Just like you, like you, and you..
Every love that has left, makes place for new ones
And you Marco who aspired simply to be happy in life
Have you win your bet?
And you Francois, and you Laurence, and you Marion
And you Gégé...and you Bruno, and you Evelyne?
Well, it's fantastic friends!
Everything that we said we'd do,
we've set our hands on it
You can't just lay the 10 years on the table
Like spreading the letters of Scrabble..
So many things have passed..
Passing by the window,I see a reflection
Of a high school student walking behind me
If she turns left, I will follow and go home
If she turns to the right...
Wait for me,
Wait for me!
Wait for me!
Wait for everyone..
Sekolah Menengah Sains Muar
Some would call it as 'SMS Muar', some call it 'Sains Muar' and others call it "SAMURA'. Whatever the name it's called, this is where we all met, and this is the place where we spent most of our growing up years: learning to live with others and be independent.
In some countries, going to a boarding school at the age of 13 might be a norm. But for us, in Malaysia, it's a privilege. Even though quite scary as we would be living on our own and some of us just do not know head or tails what to expect. Some have never even lifted a finger to help at home and now had to do without mom around.
For her, SMS Muar Tanjung Agas is just a short distance from her house (around 15km) in Jalan Abdul Rahman. It costs her around RM0.80 cents to take a bus ride back home. But it was just as hard as anyone else. No visitors and no coming back during the weekend outing. She was determined to get through these 5 coming years just the same as anyone else. Hoping that this would be a place where she would be accepted and would be able to study peacefully.
Can you just imagine.. a small 13 years old girl standing in awe at the gate entrance of the school, wondering if she should just stand there or step inside the gate. Then seeing another 13 year old girl with the same frightened look on her face, this girl swallowed back her tears and smiled. And luckily there was a return smile on the other person's face. Ahh.. she was not the only one with hopes and doubts inside.
This was the beginning of the long journey for a Muarian girl. It was not easy, nor was it without it's share of fun.
