Today I found my old diaries of years 1988 and 1989 way back that were abandoned in my closet for a long long time. Reading what transpired backi then gave me a deep insight of who Iwas and what my teenage life was back then. I almost forgotten so many things in my life. I was also made to realize that I have changed drastically over the years.
I was a simple and carefree teenage girl who strongly believe in GOD. Those two years, it was all about my days at Stamford Ladies College and working life with the Koreans in Taihan Electric Wire Co. Ltd. I had packed schedule all the time. I was a busy student and a happy girl enjoying every moment of life. I had many friends who spent most time with me. Together we went on trips, attended classes, spent time in public library together, movie, shopping, facial, etc. I was likeable and kind of popular too.
I had great bonding with my ex boss, Mr. Park Tae Beom. He liked me a lot and took good care of me at work. The day when he got posted back to Korea for good, I cried and I jotted down in the diary, claiming it the saddest day in my life. Gosh! I almost forgotten that too. Then came EK Lee, another good boss who liked me too and we shared a lot in the office. I still remember the day when he locked the office door and he taught me how to play poker, plain poker, nothing dirty. I was fond of him too and enjoyed every minute working with him. He was not my boss, he was my friend!
From the diaries, I had precious recollection of events that I have forgotten. I have changed and reading about how I used to be, I begin to discover myself once again. I used to share a lot of things with friends, famiy and even my bosses. I lent my car to my boss. I enjoyed giving car lift to friends and families. I ran errand for mom after work. I bought bus tickets for friends for trips. I bought cake for friends birthday. I bought souvenirs for bosses. I prayed for friends in trouble.
In one of the testimonial, Mrs See of Stamford, wrote about me being pleasant and a very popular member in the class. I dont remember being popular but I do have many friends who were always with me then. I was close to Hua Yen, Adeline, G.Hong, Shirley and Soo Lai. The rest would be Charanjeet, Magdeline, Kar Ling, Michelle, Jodie and Lucy from Sarawak. At that time, we also hang out with some guys like LSK, WTH, Mata, Eddie, etc. I actually mingled with the guys and seemed to enjoy their company too. There were a little mutual liking for each other then but nothing worked out as I was destined to meet YTH later in life, I guess, my blessing.
Oh yes, other than these two diaries, I found two written journals.There are about the arrival of JS into my life and a Valentine day back then. I really wish I can retrieve more but too bad, nothing more. That's why I have to thanks my two darlings for introducing the blogspot to me. I have been writing again and this blog belongs to me and my kids. It will be a wonderful gift for us.
