Till then..Sitiawan

I was digging my head of what to post today. I know i had something to mumble about, but just couldn't sum it up as to what was it that i wanted to mumble about until i hit chee eng's blog.

See, i was back in sitiawan for about 4 day. Hmm, it wasn't enough since i haven't been back for over 2 months. But whatever time spend there was worth every second of it, i got to meet up with some of my friends, old friends that matters close to my heart. Spending time in my place til late a night, talking, eating, drinking wine, playing PS2..just hanging around. It was memories brought back. Those good old days, where "worries" was at the bottom of our list.

I began to wonder, slowly but surely as one after another leaves to pursuit our own ambitions and dreams, when would be the next time we get to meet again, those memories of old..those sarcastic times, misunderstanding, doubts, laugher, tears..i am just so fond about it now. I wish i could experience those days again. Of times hanging out in church, doing nothing. Basketball, bible studies, Youth EE, Bible-knowledge classes, nite rallies, youth meetings.

Sitiawan Has changed so much, from a quiet and peaceful town with only double lanes roads to crowded 4 lanes road..I miss those times when i could actually cycle to school, church, the beach without the fear of getting knocked down by a car..as much as i had the development of the town. A friends said this "If this town doesn't change and expand, that means it is stagnant"...which does sound fair. Sitiawan before (2004)

Sitiawan, Now (2007)

I went to my former school to check it out, and my has it changed too..many upgrading works has been implemented to reinforce the school's old structures..it brings back a lot of bitter-sweet memories, of strong friendship, achievements, enemies and lovers..(laughs)

My School hall

This was where i used to train for Tennis tournaments, and also play a game of tennis with my friends.

Friends always jokingly make fun of sitiawan when i tell them where i come from, but this is my beloved hometown, and it will forever be..we sitiawanese takes great pride of our home, it is our identity. Say what you want, but as for me, once a sitiawan boy forever a sitiawan boy.
