Primary School MEMORIES....


It's over a decade now since my 'O'Level days,but i still find myself remembering them primary school days..Singing at the top of our voices the National Anthem and reciting The Loyalty Pledge(which m so sure many of us can't even remember, all we can remember is the last line "......mmmmh mmmmh PEACE LOVE and UNITY")
Should U NOT make it to be in school by the time the 8.00am morning bell is ringing U get subjected to some massive humiliation of collecting papers and them purple leaves from the jacaranda tree....which happened to shed leaves every 15mins due to their deciduous nature...the first lesson is Maths and as fate would have it,you hadn't finished your maths assignment,so U get kicked out of the classroom and humiliated once again to having to attend class through the window BABE.....(kwa dirisha BABE)
Tea breaktime checks in and U head straight to the canteen to buy that juicy hot dog U had been anticipating to chew away....but before U even savour your hot dog a HAWK decides to do that for U....what a damned morning U think to yourself...
The books the 'O' level system subjected the poor kids too just adds salt to the injury...A minimum of 3 different text book authors which you have to carry everyday and bear in mind you have eight subjects so do your maths...a minimum of 24 text books and accompanying exercise books for each subject...U ended up carrying a School bag as big as You until your shoulders stooped,But in the midst of all this hustle n bustle with the education system we never ceased to be just the kids we ought to be...playing in the rain,getting your clothes all dirty and affording a smile and hearty laughter...
