Old photographs…

A friend of mine uploaded these old photographs…

…onto Facebook the other day. Omigawd!!! I looked so young then…

Gee! When did I grow to be so old? That was in 1999…when a group of teachers from Sarawak and Sabah got together in Kota Kinabalu to work on a project for English Language teachers in the two states under the guidance of a consultant from the UK, Ms. Diana Lubelska, from MARJONS (the University College of St Mark and St John, Plymouth).

I have always been considered fat most, if not all, of my life but compared to today, I thought I looked quite fit and trim then…

Sigh!!!

This is the group photo that we had taken then of all of us involved in the project. Now, can any of you spot me in it – the rose among the thorns?

Sadly, one is no longer with us anymore…and a few of us have already retired from service but God willing, may we all be blessed with a long and happy life…

This road I’m on is endless
We climb our mountains all alone
Old photographs and places I remember
Just like a dying ember that’s burned into my soul
Even though we walk the diamond-studded highways
It’s the country lanes and byways
That makes us long for home…
