First Daze.

Growing up in Pasir Ris, I attended a school that is a neighbourhood away - Tampines Sec. Far away from my parents eyeview, at that age that was my definition of what freedom is. 'Normal' for us meant seeking separation from our parents. The school is situated right infont of the 2 largest malls in the east. It looked set to be our place of worshipped for the next 4 years - our ultimate playground. Before long the school became our santuary and the mall became our temple.

Entering a new school can be nerve-racking, sharing it with hundreds other unknown students can be even more intimidating. The endless halls and hundreds of classroms were overwhelming but i took it in with all the pleasure of starting a new adventure. As i scan every corner of the canteen.. hoping for a familiar face, I saw May & Safinah (Ex primary school mates) walking towards me. I take a breath and say to my self - "Everything will be fine".
