Facebook

Old Poet was the first... I said NO

Dearie was second.. I said NO

Gentle Krytonite was next ... I said NO

Lady 28 was the last... I told myself.. What the heck! I'll just try and maybe deactivate like what I did with Friendster, Multiply and MySpace.

Now, I'm hooked, neglecting my Flickr and my blog.. keke.. Thanks a lot ah.. Lady 28.

But it's amazing how many people from the past I'm making contact with, from those who sat beside me in class in primary school, to those who took the bus home with me. And it's amazing how after so many years, you find out that friend A from primary school knows friend B fr Uni. I've also come to a conclusion that a lot of my peers in Marymount are living overseas. Those who may not have done well for O's are now doing so well overseas. Goes to show that academic results are not everything. It's your attitude and your fighting spirit that matter. There's one who quit teaching in S'pore to teach in Japan. There are a few lawyers overseas. There are people I know in London, Hongkong, China, Australia and various parts of the USA. And when I look at them now, I see that same spirit saw in them years ago. MCS was a place that made us unique. We may not have excellent academic results but we have all made it, for some even better than those who go by the book. Evidently, these are the common threads that are visible in us... vocal, adventurous, sharp, independent, free-spirited, defiant (gd and bad).

I may have gone by the book for far too long. But now I'm slowly breaking free...

Thank you Facebook!
